Ghostly Face Captured at Abandoned New Brunswick Quarantine Station |
(Click Photo to Enlarge)
This creepy picture was sent to us by Kirk via email. He writes:
We were at Partridge Island in Saint John, New Brunswick Canada. It is a deserted island now but in the 1800s it was North America's first Quarantine Station to prevent the spread of diseases. In 1830, there were so many immigrants inflicted with fever and smallpox that they were housed in army tents. Hospitals and pest houses were built, and were often overflowing. The most tragic years for Partridge Island were 1845-1847, when Irish immigration peaked. Dr. George Harding reported one day that he had over 2500 immigrants in quarantine. Sick people were forced to lay on bare ground, despite the weather.
This photo was taken in an abandoned building on the Island. Despite my best efforts, I have no logical explanation for the apparition captured in the picture.
