Poveglia Island is more than abandoned ruins in the Venetian lagoon — it’s a place so feared that even fishermen refuse to cast their nets nearby.
Join host Robert Barber as we uncover the disturbing history of Poveglia, often called the most haunted island in the world. Once a quarantine station during the Black Death, Poveglia became the final resting place for tens of thousands of plague victims, their ashes mixed into the very soil. Later, it was home to a psychiatric asylum where stories of cruelty and tragedy only deepened its dark reputation.
In this episode of Out of State, we explore the island’s terrifying past: the plague pits and burning pyres, the asylum doctor who fell from the bell tower, and the folklore of restless spirits that linger among the ruins. We’ll look at chilling eyewitness accounts of screams echoing across the water, shadow figures moving through empty corridors, and even bones surfacing on the shore.
Is Poveglia simply a grim chapter of history, or a place where the dead refuse to rest? Discover why Poveglia Island has earned its title as the most haunted island on Earth — and why some say its silence is more frightening than its screams.
