What if one of Canada’s most iconic sports landmarks is also one of Toronto’s most haunted buildings?

This week on Para(normal), Nicolina and Marie investigate the chilling legend of Dorothea (Dorothy) Elliott, the 19-year-old bank employee whose tragic death inside the former Bank of Montreal building in 1953 is believed to have left a restless spirit behind. Today, that same building houses the Hockey Hall of Fame, where staff, visitors, and paranormal investigators have reported unexplained footsteps, shadow figures, whispers, cold spots, and sightings of a young woman who seems unable to leave.

Together, we separate historical fact from ghost story, explore the real investigation into Dorothea’s death, and examine why this haunting has endured for decades. Is Toronto’s most famous hockey landmark hiding one of its darkest secrets?
