North Brother Island, New York, USA

Despite its cutesy name - doesn't North Brother Island so welcoming? - this place has a murderous history. The first instance of ominous happenings related to this island happened when a nearby ship sank, and approximately 1,000 refugees were forced to take shelter on the island. Only some of them survived. Later on, the island would become a hospital for people with infectious viral diseases.

Today, the island is pretty much just a home for birds. It is, however, still restricted to the public. We're not quite sure why but we have heard a few rumors about ghosts.
