The Plague Stone of Poveglia

The island of Poveglia in the Venetian lagoon is one of the most haunted in the world.

This has been well-known since the early 2000s, when an American TV station decided that insufficiently interesting historical facts objectively shouldn't prevent them from getting an adequate audience for their advertisers.

The stepping stone for the TV station to that invented story, was, in fact, a stone.

L’isola degli eterni lamenti https://storieinspiegabili.odisseaquotidiana.com/2024/02/lisola-degli-eterni-lamenti.html

🌙👻🔔 Nel cuore della laguna veneta giace un luogo avvolto da un velo di mistero e terrore: l'isola di #Poveglia. Le sue acque sussurrano lamenti di anime tormentate, mentre le sue rovine raccontano storie di sofferenza e disperazione.

Da secoli, #Poveglia ha custodito i segreti di tragedie umane, dalle epoche della peste alla follia dell'ospedale psichiatrico
