Apparently we're not the only ones who find the pretty, desolate grounds of Governors Island both appealing and creepy. Earlier this month zombies took over the former military base, just a mile away from the tip of Manhattan, as part of a movie / art installation, and earlier still the national monument was the site of Prince Harry's polo match.
On the day we visited we saw neither brains-craving undead nor royalty, just acres of empty space and abandoned buildings, filled with the spirits of those who once inhabited them.
