Billy, Bobby, and Joey journey to one of the world’s most haunted places — Poveglia Island off the coast of Venice, Italy.
Once used as a quarantine zone during the Black Plague, the island became a mass grave where thousands of infected souls took their final breaths. Centuries later, it was converted into a psychiatric hospital — a place shrouded in horror and cruelty. Rumors tell of a sadistic doctor who performed barbaric lobotomies on helpless patients before meeting a grim fate himself, said to have fallen — or been thrown — from the island’s bell tower.
From the island’s cursed soil to its dark legends, SWAB tells all about Italy’s most haunted and forbidden island — as spooky season continues here on The Say What Again Billy Podcast.
