Poveglia Island: Italy’s Forbidden Isle of the Dead

July 31, 2025 • Season 1 • Episode 16

Just a short boat ride from Venice sits a tiny island shrouded in mystery, fear, and a whole lot of dark history. This week on Unearthly Phenomenon, we dive into the chilling legends of Poveglia Island—a place once used as a quarantine zone, a plague pit, and later... a rumored insane asylum with some seriously sinister stories. Is it really one of the most haunted places in the world? Or just a case of creepy history amplified by local lore? Join us as we sort fact from fiction and explore why even today, locals refuse to set foot on this infamous island.
