University of Toronto Ghost story

Its no secret that University of Toronto has seen many ghosts. Here is one of the stories:

The Story of Diabolos and Reznikoff

Diabolos and Reznikoff were stone masons who worked on University College during its construction in the late 1850s. Ivan Reznikoff was a huge man, with fingers and thumbs bigger than his carver’s mallet, and a violent temper. Paul Diabolos was a sculptor from Corinth; pale, young, handsome and of a subtle nature.

Their opposite temperaments were reflected in their work. Diabolos was credited with much of the best-carved work in the east wing of University College, destroyed in the fire of 1890. He was also said to have used Reznikoff’s hideous face—“more like a baboon than a man”—as a model for one of the two gargoyles by the chimney between Croft Chapter House and the small cloister.
