The Haunting Abandoned Island In The Middle Of NYC

Worlds Apart

As seen from the Bronx, North Brother Island appears only to be a stones throw away from the rest of New York. It seems strange that the island has been allowed to deteriorate like it has been, considering the prime real estate that many individuals surely wouldn’t mind building a property on.

Although it is only a short distance, being on the island and looking out at the city has been described as seeing earth from the moon, demonstrating how secluded the island truly is. This must have driven the “patients” on the island mad being so close, yet so far away from home.
