Poveglia Island, Italy

Poveglia Island in the Venetian Lagoon is said to be one of the most haunted sites in the world. The small island has a dreadful history, having served as a quarantine station during the bubonic plague in the 18th century and as a psychiatric facility in the twentieth. The island’s merciless treatment of the sick and mentally ill is said to have left a legacy of paranormal activity, with countless reports of ghost sightings and other weird events over the years. Despite its reputation, the Italian government has barred visitors from visiting the island, with just a few authorized personnel permitted to reach its shores. Poveglia Island is both fascinating and terrifying, thanks to the abandoned chapel and the rotting remains of the asylum.
