Photographic Evidence Of Roosevelt Island Ghosts Revealed For The First Time - Come Join Them And Others For Roosevelt Island Halloween Parade On Saturday 12 PM Starting At Blackwell House

It's just two days before Halloween and time for the ghosts, goblins and spirits of Roosevelt Island to show themselves although some people encounter our otherworldly neighbors at any time during the year as recounted in this January 2009 post:

Blogger Melissa Bastian, who was creeped out by the spirits and ghosts at the Octagon has company in thinking that Roosevelt Island is:
possibly the most haunted piece of land on the planet.
Well maybe not the most haunted on the planet but perhaps in New York City. Another visitor to Roosevelt Island sees spooky images in pictures he took of the Renwick Ruins Smallpox Hospital wall and a friend feels a tap on the shoulder when nobody is close...
Like the long sought after Loch Ness Monster, there have been plenty of sightings and reported encounters with beings from another time and space on Roosevelt Island. Even Ghost Hunters have come searching for signs of the Roosevelt Island After-Life but have never found clear, indisputable photographic evidence. Until now, maybe.

Roosevelt Island photographer Tatiana Muzica noticed something strange going on near the East River on the Subway Pier and took this picture of what appears to be two inter-dimensional figures taking a nighttime waterfront stroll.

Then she saw these floating faces on the West Promenade (Click On The Image To Enlarge)

How many of these disembodied Roosevelt Island Spirits do you see? I found 5.

What is going on here at Roosevelt Island? Do we now have photographic proof that the Roosevelt Island netherworld exists or just some Halloween Trick? You Decide.

Don't forget that Saturday is the Roosevelt Island Halloween Parade. According to RIOC:
Roosevelt Island Annual Halloween Parade
In partnership with Urban American, managers of Roosevelt Landings, the parade of ghosts and goblins begins at Blackwell House at 12 P.M. and continues on to Capobianco Field.  Everyone is encouraged to come dressed in a Halloween costume.  More fun and festivities are planned for immediately after the parade at Capobianco Field.  In the event of rain, festivities will be held inside PS/IS 217, 645 Main Street
Here's what the 2009 Roosevelt Island Halloween Parade was like.



More scenes for the 2009 Parade are here.

Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department Director Keith Guerra reports on Halloween Safety Day which took place earlier this week. From Mr. Guerra:
The Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department and Safe Kids NYC co-sponsored the 3rd Annual Halloween Safety Day at the Roosevelt Island Public Library.  Approximately 30 children attended this informative event. Cheryl Johnson from DOT had the young audience engaged and provided valuable information on how to keep themselves safe on Halloween.  Cheryl also handed out goody bags containing reflectors and literature reinforcing the safety tips they learned.  PSD Youth Officer Michelle Williams provided treats for the Halloween bags, and a good time was had by all who attended.


Have a Happy Halloween!!!!

Thank you to Public Safety for giving out Trick-or-Treat Candy bags to all the kids in the neighborhood. I heard you gave out almost 900 bags of candy. Great job Officer Michelle!
