North Brother Island, NY
Not only is this New York North Brother Island a mysterious place, but it’s also hidden, overrun by weeds, and unsafe for the general public. It’s also safe to say that its sensitive ecosystem is much safer without any visitors. The dystopian-looking island was abandoned over 50 years ago, but before that, in the mid-nineteenth century, North Brother Island was a hot spot for the sick!
At that time in history, all sorts of diseases and illnesses were rampant throughout New York, and this isolated island was a perfect location for the sick to be quarantined. Located not too far from the South Bronx off the East River, it’s been nicknamed ‘Hells Gate’ for its dangerous waters and is rightfully off-limits.

Area 51 has always been my “I wish” place to visit. Of course “X-Files” had a lot to do with it, but I have always been fascinated with the idea of UFO’s and the supposed wreckage found in New Mexico.
I’d love to spend a week there ansd see all the UFO’s and live aliens.
