I saw a special on my television about this island. It’s called Poveglia Island. It was so spooky, foggy at night and mysterious. Would you stay on the island overnight?
In 2014, the Italian state announced that it would auction a 99-year lease of Poveglia — which would remain state property — in the following month to raise revenue, hoping that the buyer would redevelop the hospital into a luxury hotel.
It does not sound as if the Italian government wants to keep people away from the island, according to Wikipedia.
I wouldn’t… islands are surrounde by water, so I had no chance to escape LOL btw. there is a novel about this island “are you alive” Happy Howl-o-ween!
shivers – a novel? I must tell mommy. Maybe we can read it together. I wonder if it is as mysterious and spooky as the picture of the island? Snorts. XOXO – Bacon
About 3 years ago, a cruise ship planning to make a port call in Venice had developed engine trouble. The closest the ship could make under tow was Poveglia Island. The passengers would be disembarked onto launches that would take them into Venice. While waiting for 36-48 hours for transport into Venice, passengers reported many eerie, unexplained things. They didn’t like it there.

It is an interesting place that in some place will creep you out or at least give you a good case of goose bumps!
