Empire State Building New York

Towering above the buildings of New York, the iconic building featured in the dramatic end of the film King Kong is set into the mind of both film makers and people alike.
Many a romantic film is set with a meeting at the Empire State building, so it's no surprise to hear that the building has it's own ghost story concerning one.

Tales are told of a young woman wearing 40's clothes waiting for a man she agreed to met on V-J. who she is, or why she is waiting at the Empire State Building is not known.
Perhaps this is just an urban myth, an updated version of the girl waiting at the castle stories you hear in Britain.

Mags it could be an urban myth but I have found this reference to your story online so this is what I read but in my own words.

In 1985 a woman was on the observation deck looking at the view etc when another woman came and stood right next to her she thought she was oddly dressed wearing clothes from the 1940's.

This (ghost) lady then started to talk saying that her husband had just been killed in German and how much she loved and missed him.

The woman was so scared she started to walk away from this other (ghost) woman when she saw her plunge over the side of the building.

The woman ran to the bathroom in quite a state when she then saw the (ghost) woman again standing next to her repeating the same as before i.e. her husband had just died in Germany and how much she missed him etc.

Oh that's good because we obviously did not find the story in the same source.
