THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Empire State Building has been the site of numerous ghost stories tied to its long history and the tragedies that occurred there. Employees and visitors have reported shadow figures, unexplained footsteps, disembodied voices, and apparitions believed to be connected to people who died in the building. Paranormal encounters are most often reported after business hours on the upper floors.
Around a dozen suicides have taken place here, plus an additional 14 died when a plane crashed into the building in 1945. People have witnessed a woman dressed in a 1940’s suit leap off of the building; it is said her husband died in World War II.
