Poveglia Island- Italy

 Poveglia Island- Italy

Many strange things have taken place in this island belonging to Italy, named Poveglia. Its haunted history started from the 1300s, which continued on till the early 1900s.



    When the Bubonic plague had struck Europe and some parts of Asia, this island was used to dump the sick, ill and dying victims. None of the victims believed that they would ever return back home. The bodies of the dead, and the sick, who were too weak to fight back were burnt. The souls of all the people who died in pain had cursed the land.
    Many years after this, in the early 1800s, the island was used as a mental asylum. The doctor would do crazy experiments on the patients, which either killed them or permanently injured them. It is said that after a while, even the doctor had gone mad and took his own life in the year 1930.
    Even today, local fishermen fear to stay close to the island after dark. They believe, that the spirits of those who did not die in peace will haunt them.
