Stories are circulating that the famed “woman in white” has been seen walking along the path of the recently opened Newtown Creek Nature Walk, at night after the park is closed. She’s been spotted by workers inside the Newtown Creek Sewage Treatment Plant and by observers across the creek at a scrap metal yard.

I have heard this as well. I am curious if anyone has seen her doing anything other than walking.
As dusk fell on the evening of May 30 I witnessed a ghostly, white-clad figure, whom I at first took to be one of our poor, shelterless fellow citizens, emerging from the tall grasses on the north side of the East River State Park on Kent Avenue. She made her way in the direction of the water, furtively but purposefully. At a given point she stopped and seemed to be tending to something in the grass. As darkness fell completely she disappeared into the shadows. When I went to the spot where she had been working I found a white rosa rugosa blooming in the tall grass. You can go and see it for yourself.
when i was looking for an apartment in Greenpoint, an elderly woman warned me about the waterfront area and said it was haunted – told me of a ghostly figure in white and to watch myself in the evenings – perhaps she’d seen a vision of the saint and didn’t know her significance!
