A number of workers and visitors at the Fresh Kills landfill station say they saw the lady holding a tray of sandwiches.

The New York Post reported NYPD Lt. Frank Marra, the author of ‘From Landfill to Hallowed Ground’ as saying he thought she was trying to help them as they were the first responders.

Mr Marra said he saw the African-American lady, dressed in white, and also in the style of a Red Cross worker from the Second World War a few times but always from about 50 yards away.

The 48-year-old who is now retired said he initially buried the memory of the lady. But when he was asked by a former crime-scene detective if he had ever heard about the ghost, the image came back to him in an instant.

Other officers also recalled witnessing the apparition and other strange things, including shadows and ‘large black masses,’ claimed Marra, the supervisor of the World Trade Center vehicle impound landfill section.

He said that a psychic medium has told him he may have witnessed a spirit – a ‘soul collector’ – who guides people to the afterlife.

While 1600 of the people who died in the tragedy were identified from the parts and fragments of bodies found in the rubble, over 1000 victims have never been found.
