Elis Island ghost?

Description

I always wanted to go and do some urban exploration... but I am too chicken. So instead I prefer to go to museums or old college campus's and take some pictures.
My mother and sister came to New York for my wedding and we decided to go to Elis Island. Immediately after getting off the boat you could feel this heavy energy all around you. As you go through the museum you learn the horrible, tragic, and painful history of the people who went through that island. Most of them dying there. And only half of the island was open to visitors!
I would have loved to go into the Contagious Diseases building but it was barred tight, and as I said before- I am a chicken.
Well After the wedding I was taking pictures off of my camera and this one was quite strange. I took a picture of a glass display case filled with things from the old offices. (Elis Island had been abandoned since it was last used 1920ish? to about 1980). I leave it for you to decide. I don't know anything about cameras, so maybe its a weird flash error or something. But you can see my reflection up close in the glass, and there is an older woman walking in the back. So I have no idea... but some of these pictures were really nice. Maybe I should up load the rest.
