Poveglia Island: The True Paranormal Story Behind the World’s Most Haunted Island — Ep. 20

Just off the coast of Venice lies a place so feared that even locals refuse to go near it. Poveglia Island has been called the world’s most haunted island — a former quarantine zone and plague hospital where tens of thousands perished, and where the echoes of suffering seem impossible to silence. In this episode of State of the Unknown: Out of State, Robert Barber uncovers the true paranormal history of Poveglia — from plague pits and asylums to ghostly sightings and modern-day bans. It’s a haunting unlike any other… and one that still lingers over the waters of the Venetian Lagoon. 🎧 Haunted history. Real places. True fear.
