281: Poveglia Island

from Middle Aged And Creeped Out podcast · host Middle Aged And Creeped Out podcast

Poveglia Island is widely considered one of the most haunted places in the world, due to its dark history as a quarantine station for plague victims and a psychiatric hospital. The island's reputation stems from the estimated 160,000 deaths that occurred there…with victims buried in mass graves or burned…leading to legends that the soil is composed of 50% human ash!!!https://www.walksofitaly.com/blog/art-culture/poveglia-islandhttps://backpackertravel.org/destinations/one-scary-night-poveglia-island/https://venturetheplanet.com/exploring-the-haunted-poveglia-island-final-resting-place-for-thousands-of-plague-victims-and-location-of-an-abandoned-mental-asylum/https://search.brave.com/search?q=povelia+island+haunted&summary=1&conversation=0965fc3f249fd10a6b536d64929e819dca49https://thelittlehouseofhorrors.com/poveglia-island/https://m.youtube.com/shorts/UzyET7wttPk?ra=m
