The Collingwood Arts Center is the former convent for the Ursuline Order of the Sacred Heart, and later housed the Mary Manse College and St. Ursula Academy. It is a registered historical site. Contrary to the opinions of various paranormal enthusiasts, very few incidents of paranormal activity have been witnessed by the residents. Although "orbs" (said to be a deceased person's energy or life force) can be captured in photographs quite routinely, the mysterious sounds and visions of ghosts reported on various websites are rarely, if ever, credibly documented. If such paranormal activity exists, it merely adds to the unique flavor and ambience of one of the largest and oldest structures in Toledo's historic Old West End.

The images below were taken on May 13, 2009 during the filming of the documentary 'Piercing the Veil.'  Possible orbs and figures can be seen.
