I live close to Deer Island in Winthrop. When i was a child in the 70’s, we went to the islands with large groups of people from the Yacht Club. Back then, you could stay overnight on some islands without a problem. It is tough to tell whether i saw, felt or sensed anything, because the older teens would always try to spook us. something every generation did to the next. BUT! if you want to freak out, try walking the Deer Island walk path on a semi-foggy night. at the halfway point, you will stand numb fixed on the boston islands thinking of whether the lady in black, the ghost of boston light or the spirits of the Deer Island imprisoned indians are walking with you…………

I was there this past weekend (twice now) and it’s a lovely place to go on a summer’s day. You do need a flashlight to go exploring in the dark rooms and passageways and you can definitely feel a strangeness about the place. You can’t camp or stay the night and the last boat leaves at 6:00 pm.

I’m from Southern California and I will be in Boston the
weekend after Labor Day and we already have tickets for
George’s Island. I can’t wait. I had a ghost give me a
little push in a cemetery in Savannah a couple of years ago. Can you get anything with a digital camera??

The way the Story really goes is that there was a woman and she was from the south. Her husband was captured and brought there. She traveled north to try and help him escape. She found several people wh were sympathetic to her cause and they helped her sneak onto the island dressed as a man. During the escape she and her husband were cornered and she tried to shoot one of the guards but the pistol she was using misfired and killed her husband. After that she surrendered and was sentenced to death. She spent her remaining days there waiting to be hung. Her last request was to be hung in a dress. The only thing they could find for her was a black dress so that is what she was hing in. Now she haunts the place.
I have been there a couple time but have never seen anything however the place has a weird feeling to it almost sad.

I would just like to say that you should get and expert to check it out like (TAPS) and then maybe i will believe it but until then…….

I’ve been to the island,fort warren….yeh,it is haunted…I live in Hull & the fort offers the best
view of the island…ironic that the fort in Hull is also one of many a parnormal spot…..another place that is supposedly haunted is long Island out off Squantum but the guards will not let you go out to the island lighthouse & the grounds around it,near the hospital out there…that place is creepy tho in use.

the ghost there is the lady in red -the red mist phantom who roams the grounds around the light house waiting for a ship….I am a amature ghost-paranorm investigator by the way

i have gone to this island since i was four,at least every weekend.i have been in every room.even the ones your not surpose to be in.i have walked to the tunnel were alot of people dont know about.the one her and her husband started to dig to get away,were they were caught and she tried shooting the gaurd and he hit her hand,the gun went off hitting her husband in the neck killing him.
i have never seen anything or felt anything.im not saying anyones a lyer,maybe u just cant be looking for it

But i have been to peadocks island right near georges and camped out.that night we were exploring the building with a video camera,i was with seven other people.that week i was watching it at home with three of the people who were there and we herd screeming like someone was getting killed 3 or 4 long screems.very kreepy

none of us herd it we had the others come and watch they were scared

we went to the fort for a school trip. and the guide said something about a lady dressed in all black that would walk around the grounds in the winter. it was creepy and we had to crawl through a tunnel that had closed in spaces.you had to crawl and it was wet and muddy but it was worht it! our hwole class agreed it was the best trip of the year. plus all the guides were great at telling the stories!! i reccomend it 100% ! go if you want to have a great time.and it fine to go with kids , you dont have to worry about them hangiing on to you the whole time.

I have been to Georges island when i never knew it was haunted. But it was still a scary place to be. i remember i was with a group of tourists, and we was inside one of those castles, our flaslights always kept turning off and we would have to replace them with newer onces all the time…so i would have to say that there is SOME presence around there.

I went there as a child for a school field trip the story I heard from my mother before I went was something like this. In the 1800s a gentle man was captured during the war and his wife heard of this and decided to break him out or the fort she went there with a few rebels and armed with only a pistol.she set out one night thru under ground rail roads in hull ma. Were she then took a boat to georges island .During the breakin attempt one of the lieutenants heard of the escape attempt went to the dungeon to stop the rebels when the woman was cornered she pulled out her gun which jammed when she fired it killing herself.The legend my mother told me was the lady in black then walked the grounds of the fort from that day forward and if you see her death would come of you so she told if I see anything out of the ordinary not to look.I remember seeing a lot of weird things that day doors were their then they weren’t a fence on a hill when we climbed wasn’t there but was when we turned around etc. But never seeing the lady in black.when I returned home that day I asked my mom why she was so scared when I went there and she told me that when my uncle (who is deceased)went to georges island he came home scared out of his mind saying he saw the lady in black my grandmother told him he was crazy and then told her he fell into a hole in the fort which looked like they used it for lifting canons there were chains hanging in it aswell anyways when he fell he said he screamed for help a woman all dressed in black reached her hand down to pull him out he reached for her hand grabbed her by her wrist as she pulled him up he pulled some jewelry off of her a bracelet and 2 rings,when he got to his feet to thank her she was gone,my grand mother was shocked when he showed her the jewelry.my uncle david was killed in a car accident a week later.

Went 7-4-07 cool vibe on the island!! i was told on a tour of an outcast solderer who was murdered and hidden in the drinking water well!! made all the solders on island sick… also i heard taps did a taping there has anyone else herd the same?

I visited Fort Warren with my parent’s in 2000 and it was interesting trip since I read about the story of the woman in black. I asked a male who worked on the island about her and she told me that it was not even true.

I was a summer camp councilor for the YMCA and I had to take a group of kids around the island a few years ago. I did not see anything myself, but it was by far the creepiest place I had ever been. I refused to go into those dark tunnels because you can tell that something is not right there!

I live in Boston and read about Fort Warren and its alleged ghosts. It sounded like a good way to spend a few hours so I decided to visit. I brought with me a head lamp and a digital camera not really knowing what to expect. The fort is huge, you could spend an entire day exploring every nook and corner of this place. Creepy is one way to describe this place. Most of the fort is very dark, I’m glad I brought the headlamp. The interior of the fort is a huge series of rooms connected by often pitch black hallways and stairs. I didn’t see anything spooky, but I didn’t venture into too many pitch black areas. If you’re going to explore the pitch black areas of this fort (there are a lot to explore) bring a headlamp and/or a flash light and don’t go alone. The whole place is erie, I don’t doubt for a second that the fort is haunted. Even walking around the partially lit areas, I found myself constantly looking over my shoulder and hearing strange sounds that seemed to come from nowhere.

It’s fairly easy to get here, from downtown Boston walk towards Boston Harbor. Next to the Long Wharf Marriot you can get tickets for the ferry. The ferry leaves every hour or so and takes about 25 minutes.

I went to Fort Warren/ Georges Island so many times i got used to it that i know my way around there soo much. but the storie about the lady in black is true because when i was 7 i got lost and i saw her. She was moaning in the corner of a doorway. I was really closed to her and she looked at me. When i blinked she was gone, but she appeared again when i romed the hallways again and this time i was lost. It is becaused she scared me soo much that i got out in time before any knew i was missing. so it’s like she kind of help me too. But be WARNED if u are a male and is lost u better not run into her because it is said that rigth after they killed her the men will go in a certain room and play cards but will never come back out!!!!! They were reported to be screams from the room. So she doesn’t like men too much.

okk so yeah i went there for a field trip, and i didnt even know about this sotry then, but when i first crawled threw the little window to get into the place, i heard a lady say ” dont come in here” and i got a little freaked out cus NO ONE WAS THERE. the next year we went agian ( which was yetsurday ) and our supervisor told us the story, so i looked it up on google and there was a guy saying how he heard somehting say “dont come in here” im a little freaked out now, and now im pretty convivnced ghosts are real.

I went there a few weeks ago and roamed around the whole fort. I didn’t have a flashlight or anything, so I didn’t go too far down the dark tunnels, but I took photos with my digital camera down them. In two different tunnels, I caught the same dark figures, but thought it was patterns on the walls. Then I zoomed in while looking at the photo later . . . one of the figures seemed to have a face (a man– there’s what looks like a mustache) and it was looking at me. It’s a pretty dark and grainy photo though. Don’t know if it’s for real, but I do believe in ghosts, the place had many soldiers die there, and yes, it was creepy! I definately want to go back with ghost hunting gear– wish I had a recorder with me that’s for sure!

I have a very close friend who is a ranger on George’s island. Giving tours of fort warren. There is NO historical evidence to support the story of “the Lady in Black” though there were a number of executions of confederate soldiers and the island(s) of boston harbor have been occupied by humans as far back as the mid 1600’s by colonialists and ever further back by the native peoples of the area. I am planning a trip out there very soon. I can’t wait.

I went there about 4 years ago with my girlfriend at the time we walked through one of the rooms neer the gunpowder shack, there was a lasts voice comming from the hall I followed it to nothing. Later on we found a little spot to crawl through I heard a noise that made my bone ache, it was some sort of screaming I took off. This was all before I found out it was haunted. A couple years later me and a buddy of mine went there to do some burnin and we scoured exert inch of that place even sitting in the dark rooms with the shackles we spent the whole day looking and found nothing. I think when your not searching you’ll find things, or maybe because I was with my girl and it sparked some sort of energy
