Abandoned North Brother Island: New York City's Secret History

The abandoned and haunted island, North Brother Island, recalls New York's haunted past. The history of this forbidden island reminds us of the tragic stories of a forgotten passenger steamer, General Slocum and the notorious typhoid Maria. The remains of a hospital remind us once of a busy and dynamic area with many structures that function actively, which has now become a deserted and desolate sight. The island has been reclaimed by nature, giving life to a mysterious and even haunted atmosphere.
