MONASTERY ON THE HILL

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall
"I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm shadow upon these walls,
As quietly as a mouse
I haunt these halls."

- Allison Krauss, Ghost in This House

Front of Monastery Located on Staten Island in New York, St. Augustinian Academy used to be a high school for boys. After it closed in the 60s it was re-opened as a religious retreat, which also was deserted in 1985. Wagner College took over ownership and plans to use it for student housing. It is said that what happened in and under it was not as normal as you would think.

Front of Monastery The monastery sparked many bizzare stories, which attracted a host of people in search of chills and thrills. It is now covered in overgrown weeds, vines, and tangled trees. Vultures add to the air of dread as the fly above it and often perch on the roof of the bell tower.
