NEW YORK, USA: EERIE images have revealed the abandoned ruins of a leper colony on an island in New York, that housed the first ever diagnosed asymptomatic carrier of a disease as well as the infamous patient Typhoid Mary. The haunting pictures show rotting chairs lined up in a large hall and an empty rusting bedframe. Other shots show nature beginning to reclaim the island as vines grow over and through some of the buildings that may have housed Typhoid Mary. The snaps were taken at North Brother Island using a Canon 5D Mark II by American civil engineer and urban explorer Brendan Clinch (31)
