Italy’s Most Haunted Island - Poveglia Island | Wicked Wednesday #3

Weird True Crime

On a small island in the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon rests Poveglia Island, dubbed “Island of Ghosts” and is noted to be the most haunted island in the world. Used as a quarantine location for the plague and an exile location for criminals, the soil on Poveglia Island has seen thousands and thousands of deaths. Join Gina and Amber as they discuss the haunting history of Poveglia Island and how it is now an abandoned, decaying resting place for the spirits of those who succumbed to the plague or the demented experiments by a doctor who met his own demise on the island as well.
