OK, I'm a huge G.A. degenerate, and tonight is a new episode at 9pm on the Travel Channel...if your are a fan of any paranormal show, Ghost Lab, Ghost Stories, Scariest Places on Earth, or even the sub-par Ghost Hunters (or any of the other crappy rip-offs for that matter) you need to tune in...
Tonight the guys are headed overseas to Povegila Island in Italy. This place is one of the top ten scariest places ever! Flat out. Thousands of people died horribly on this island. When the Black Plague struck Italy, this island is where any infected person was sent to die. We're talking over 160,000 people DEAD.
Then in the 1920's a mental hospital was built on the island, where it's ruins stand to this day. During this period, according to local legend, a mad doctor tortured and killed hundreds, if not thousands of patients before he was killed. But the scariest part of that story is how he died...the doctor was pushed from a bell tower on the island. Doesn't sound that scary? The fall didn't kill him...while he was injured on the ground, a thick fog came up from the ground, wrapped around his neck, and strangled him to death in front of the patients he did so much harm to.
The island is not open to the public, so this will be the only time you will get an in-depth look at it, so enjoy...oh, and make sure to leave a light on...
