Around a dozen suicides have taken place here, plus an additional 14 died when a plane crashed into the building in 1945. People have witnessed a woman dressed in a 1940’s suit leap off of the building; it is said her husband died in World War II.

arguably the most famous sky scraper in the world Hauntings would be odd. there have been no successful suicides in decades, not since the 1930’s. a palastinean terrorist shot one man to death on the observation deck. the problem is the place is an office. people don’t live lives there and usually don’t die. the few suicides were people looking to jump off the famous land mark (one was a construction worker who’d been fired. As dramatic as the building is for what goes on there, it’s as likely to have hauntings, or as unlikely as any other office building in midtown.
If you want to see a picture of the lady, there is an old Time Life book with it-it is disturbing and I had the book as a child. I still remember it. I did not know what it was at first. The fall was so bad that she dented the hood, I think of the car. I have seen the colorized and original. Both equally scary.
