The Abandoned ELLIS ISLAND Immigration Hospital and the Ghosts of Lady Liberty

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are two of America's most iconic tourist destinations and besides breathtaking panoramic views of the New York Harbor, some tours also allow you to glimpse at a haunted history. We took a Statue City Cruise out to the islands and then a guided hard hat tour with the company Save Ellis Island. These small group tours offer the chance to wander inside the crumbling ruins of the old hospital buildings. Our guide John was amazingly knowledgeable and all proceeds go toward preservation. If you have the extra time I highly recommend it.
The hospital is reportedly haunted by a number of former patients and the Statue of Liberty was once believed to be possessed!

Wow! Powerful images, especially in the old hospital!

Yeah, it was a really fascinating place to explore and learn more deeply about our history. And even though it’s in ruins you look out the windows and see the harbour, so it’s got this wild abandoned beauty.

I've just come across your video in the "sponsored" bit on my feed. This looks like just the kind of thing to binge on in the workshop

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any suggestions for future adventures.

Hello, Hope your well, I came across your channel about 2 days ago and I love how your videos are 1. about different haunted places and 2. they are very informative. I appreciate your channel as a whole, although I wondered to myself while I was watching your older videos if you were still uploading lol. Obviously you are, I'm assuming you took a break or what have you, but I just want to tell you that you have acquired a new fan. Keep up the great work. Much love.

I usually upload a new video every two or three months, it takes time to write, travel and edit each one. Next up will be Alton, Illinois and the Haunted America Conference. Plus some bonus campfire stories this summer. Thanks for watching!
