281: Poveglia Island

Poveglia Island is widely considered one of the most haunted places in the world, due to its dark history as a quarantine station for plague victims and a psychiatric hospital. The island's reputation stems from the estimated 160,000 deaths that occurred there…with victims buried in mass graves or burned…leading to legends that the soil is composed of 50% human ash!!!
