Empire State Building

The Empire State Building is one of the most famous buildings in the world, having been the tallest building in the world for 40 years after construction was originally completed. It is open to the public for tours and visitation with the purchase of an entry ticket. Over the years there have been 30 suicide attempts in the building, two major shooting incidents, and, in 1945, a plane crash that claimed the lives of 14 individuals. Visitors have reported seeing the ghost of a woman dressed in 1940s clothing jump from the building; allegedly she is the spirit of a woman whose husband died in World War II.
