Poveglia

Ok. Now this blog is officially mine. NOT for a class any more. BOO yeah!!!!!!!! Not that i didn't like my class. O, y am i kidding myself. Yeah, a lot of them where hard and i was to lazy to do them. Not to dis my teacher.

  Any way. this pic is of an island called Poveglia. It's between Venice and Sicily. And y am i telling u this u? Well as many people know, i know the history of a lot of scary, messed up history, "hunted" places. Cuz I'm weird. As many say. lol. (even my own mother sais so.)
      Any who, this place may look pritty. but can you imagine it at night. Not a place I'd hang out at. Especially at night.

Plus; it has plague pits like this one. Even though this pic was taken on a naboring Island, Poveglia has them too.                                                                                                             

But Poveglia's pits are lost. Never dug up. I'm not shure why. In the 12 century, this Island, people found a church from over a hundred years ago. it was decaying and roting away. Why on God's green earth would somebody put a church on a Island? That is kinda stupid in my opinion. In the 18th century it was turned into a lighthouse.

At the time of the Islands beginning use in 1403, plage and disease was a mager problem. Venice had mager sanitary laws. Another words quarantine. At first it was sorta like a purgatory. You where sent to this island for 40 days to make shure you didn't have the disease. At the time "the black death" or the bubonic plague. But eventually it got worse. As it always did back then. Soon purgatory turned to hell. At this point if you where sent to Poveglia, it was a death sentence. Some people where even barred alive. Some pits where even being burned. The locals think that over half the soil on the island is human ash. Creepy!!!!!                    

This pic. Well it is believed that some of the pits Are here. I got most of my intell from a site called mental floss. And the pics too. So if some of it sounds familiar, that is where it comes from. Thank you Ransom Riggs for the BELIEVABLE intell. But he was right. why would a person put a fire place here?

And this pic is from Ghost Adventurers. The guy is Zak Bagans. Who is cute but has a mager ego. Which is a turn off. any way, he is warring a medical mask that was used during the bubonic plague out brake. They would stuff the inside with herbs. They beleved it would protect them. Well, i don't think that worked to well.This is how the people would identify docters back then.
