In the 14th century, neighbouring Genoa attacked Venice and since the island of Poveglia was in the line-of-fire, it was evacuated. Before it could be resettled, the Black Death, struck. On Venice’s congested waterfront, people were coughing and bleeding and dying on the streets, like flies falling dead in the heat. Self-preservation forced families to dump ailing relatives. Most died unattended. Mass graves were dug and bodies buried and burnt.

Health officials instinctively felt that separating the infected from the healthy, could prevent the spread of the disease. So, anyone with the slightest sign, a runny nose, a slight fever, was apprehended and packed off………..

You see I love learning about the paranormal and upon research of this place I have yet to find anyone who can truly give an eyewittnes account of what type of paranormal activity goes on there. I know there is alot of it that must take place especially since the amount of trauma that took place on the island. Than you for taking the time to read my question and I really hope to hear from you soon.
