Poveglia — Local services in Venice

These pictures, they are on a island. Name Poveglia Island. It should not be called ghost island or why? Only 1 lakh 60 thousand people were killed living and dead together here. Then, there are more incidents. Start?

This island is very close to Italy. In 421 AD, this island comes in public. Some city people started living here but no one did much because they were younger in the area. The attack of the enemy was not like that on the island. Later, when the Venice was attacked, the people here fled and no one lived here for the next 400 years.

Later people continue to grow. But the curse on this island came down in 1793. When two pairs of patients are found on a ship, they are treated at this island. From there, the disease was spread among more members of the island. But in 1805, when the plug on the size of the epidemic, this island is identified as a place to isolate patients. Even the healthy people there were not taken anywhere. Only everyone is pushed to a death route.

Now you can wonder how so many people can live on such a small island? Listen. Those who died should be buried only when they were dead, and those who were more sick would be burned to death by living. In the end, it was that no one would have reached anyone, just died.

It is said that about 160,000 players were burnt alive in that island. The island is closed in 1814. And from here it can be heard that ghost sub-division starts.

And knowing and waking up in the vicinity of this island, as much as the fish could not be found in the vicinity of the human skeleton, skull were found

The island was reopened in 1922. The main building of the island is used as a hospital with mental patients. However, no news was heard of any patient returning from here even though he was a mental patient hospital. The hospital is re-closed if the main doctors, nurses and patients are committed to suicide one by one.

Many have claimed that the sound of plag patients can be heard when they went by the side of the island. The sound of scattering in pain can also be heard. Many people who have visited the island say that they still roam. Almost all of those who have gone to the island have said that no body has started pushing them from their touches and even seriously hurt and they have left that place in fear. They deeply believe that there is really something lonely.

In the end, I will tell two horrific truths. In the decade, all the events here in 60 are blown away and a family goes there to spend a week. But they came back after one night. Why come back, they never open their mouths about what they saw there. But their only daughter has a very deep cut mark on her face, which contains 14 stitches. And the neighbors told me that the injury was not there even a day ago.

Another thing is I don't know how much fear the readers will need. About 60% of the soil of poveglia island is ashes of human bodies. When he went down to the island and touched the ground, he rose like a sand. The other part except the main part of the island is spread of numerous...

The island is first mentioned in chronicles of 421, when people from Padua and Este fled there to escape the barbarian invasions. In the 9th century the island's population began to grow, and in the following centuries its importance grew steadily, until it was governed by a dedicated Podestà. In 1379 Venice came under attack from the Genoan fleet; the people of Poveglia were moved to the Giudecca.

The island remained uninhabited in the subsequent centuries; in 1527 the dogeoffered the island to the Camaldolese monks, who refused the offer. From 1645 on, the Venetian government built five octagonal forts to protect and control the entrances to the lagoon. The Poveglia octagon is one of four that still survive.

In 1776 the island came under the jurisdiction of the Magistrato alla Sanità (Public Health Office), and became a check point for all goods and people coming to and going from Venice by ship. In 1793, there were several cases of the plague on two ships, and consequently the island was transformed into a temporary confinement station for the ill (lazaretto); this role became permanent in 1805, under the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte, who also had the old church of San Vitale destroyed; the old bell-tower was converted into a lighthouse. The lazaretto was closed in...

I hired a small boat to take me to the island. It was hard to find a boat that would take me, it is illegal to dock or be on the island without a permit. The captain that finally took me was young, she had only just bought the boat, which she mostly used to deliver groceries and hardware to local stores and canal-side homes. She dropped me off at night, and I spend from 22:30 to 06:00 walking the island and exploring the ruins by lantern. I took a brief nap during a heavy rain. It is dangerous here, especially at night. Some open holes in the ground and feeble, unsafe structures, passageways and chambers. It looks as if someone is living in one of the outbuilding, and the generator has been repaired recently. Unfortunately I had to hide for most of the next day as my pick up couldn't reach the island due to police in the area and a team of doctors combing the island and ruins. I was able to get picked up later on the second night and was glad to see my ride flashing her flashlight for me at our pick up spot. Haunted? I think it must be. The feeling as soon as the island comes into focus is one of dread. It is painful to see such a place and to think of how much death has been fed to this island over the years. It is a crypt afloat...
