Let's Get Haunted

Episode 46: The Black Death and the Haunting of Poveglia Island


Listen Later

This week, Nat wows Aly with the story of Italy's most haunted island: Poveglia. Used as a quarantine center during the Bubonic Plague, many europeans met their death confined to the island's buildings. Later, Poveglia was used during WWI, WWII, and, finally, it was used as an insane asylum. Is this our craziest story yet???
