Ep 124 - Poveglia Part 2: The Witness

from How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on Earth · host Rob Kirkup

In episode 124 we continue to focus on a bleak, isolated island where those infected during the black death were brought here and simply left to die. Then on top of that there was the psychiatric hospital which opened in 1922 and rumours of a mad doctor who carried out all manner of inhumane experiments on patients. Today this island is off limits and very few people on earth have stepped foot on in this plague island, but I’m going to be joined by one of those who have as I am joined by an award-winning journalist, turned award-winning author who loves to spend her free time visiting some of the most haunted places on earth, and this location definitely falls into that category.
