For those non-Italians who are curious about the story behind it: Poveglia is one of the many islands located in the Laguna Veneta. Its history is very ancient, just like pretty much every other island that was once part of the powerful Venetian Republic during the middle ages and even after. In the early 2000s Poveglia strangely reached a good amount of popularity in the US due to the spreading over there of many creepy stories, all allegedly set in its old abandoned buildings. As someone who lives not to too far from there, all these stories have always been so fascinating, but unfortunately, are based only on convenient hoaxes invented by foreigners that loved to over-romanticize on what is simply one of the abandoned islands of the lagoon. In case someone wants some more context, the island was indeed used as a quarantine zone, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, and it may in fact have to this day some corps buried on its grounds, but way fewer than what many foreigners think, as the officially documented number of people who perished on the island, might be something like 20, while the so called "asylum" was simply a rest-home for old people, and spoiler alert: it was a very normal place with no crazy doctors or evil spirits inside 😅

[@rhybreadguy]

Thankyou mate. It's nice to think of such nice places in the word

[@jerradgindle]

with all the crematoriums I wouldn't be surprised if Mussolini used this place a as a prison for those who disagreed with him. Histler wasn't the bad guy, he was the good guy.. Mussolini was a terrorist!

[@dornier17]

Soooo...it's not haunted at all, or just a little bit haunted? Also, is it forbidden to visit w/o permission, or was that a rumor, too?

[@risingson7773]

It's certainly beautiful. Thanks for info.

[@Uraken3d]

Хорошая попытка.

[@vatsalbhatanagar7843]

Other KZbinrs - "I hear a whisper." "Was that a thud?" "This place is creepy." Shiey - "This is my playground." "It's so peaceful." This is the reason he is way better than any other KZbinr.

So happy to be part of your next journey Shiey! Thank you for bringing this feeling of sun and freedom again for us during this gloomy days. Keep chasing and filling your heart with joy by doing what you truly loves since it's so important for such ,,wild cat souls" ;) All the best for you and stay safe! 💙

exactly my thoughts, those vines looks so uncharted :D just finished uncharted 4 and this is a treat of a video with similar vibe

[@ryantouhey1997]

First learned about Poveglia on an episode of the television show ‘Ghost Adventures.’ Then I took a high school class trip to Italy in 2014, and stayed two nights in Venice. Our hotel was DIRECTLY across the water from this island. It was insane to see it in-person. I’m glad you guys got the chance to explore it Shiey! Great content as always.

You are making your dreams come true, helping us see things we could never imagine to see our selfs ever in our life. I am very, very thankful for your content. It is both mindsoothing and relaxing. Please keep going for many more years ! I wish I could ever manage to realize my dreams to explore the world like you do.

Weird story.. my mother wrote her diploma thesis in architecture university about building a museum out of the buildings on this island, because she made a year abroad in venice. And now i see my favourite KZbinr climbing around these buildings.

this is what I love with Shiey videos. there is always an excitement when they climb on rooftops for an Overview of the place. I Love that part, climbing an old structures then after you can see a beautiful overview.

There are a lot of urban exploration channels discussing the history and societal aspects of places, and those are great at providing insight into how places develop over time. But, I also like how Shiey focuses more on the natural and spiritual aspects of places. It helps give me the full picture and makes me appreciate man-made and natural sights all the more.
