Is Poveglia Island in Italy haunted? In this episode Pat and Rebecca discuss and debate the history and paranormal stories at one of the most haunted islands in the world. Or is it?  Listen and vote!

When is the first recorded history for the island? Where barbarians there? Why was Napoleon there? Where people exiled there for the plague? When was it used as an asylum? Do people here moans and see shadow people? Why is the island abandoned so often? Why isn’t it being used today?
