253: The Haunting of Poveglia Island
Description
The Red Treehouse is dedicated to my Dad. I love you, Pop.
Often considered one of the most haunted locations in the world--and with a horrifying, dark, and tragic history attached to it, Poveglia Island sits quiet and abandoned in the Venetian Lagoon.
Except, it's tranquility is said to be a facade--because, the restless spirits of the over 100,000 who died there, still live there today.
And it's beautiful exterior and elegant interior offer guests a chance to vacation amidst the splendor of scenic views and crisp mountain air.
What happened on Poveglia Island? Is it really haunted or just an outsized myth?
Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
