    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 😅

    "This place is creepy."
    Shiey -

    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.

    Italy is a great place for such kind of journeys. I like to discover these exciting spots and enjoy the peaceful silence. Spending a day at an Ex-NATO Base in the mountains (ACE-High System), in an huge hospital or in very large industrial areas alone or with a friend makes me feel alive.
    Taking pictures and Videos, generating Movieclips with emotional atmosphere completes this type of adventure. Maybe one day i will also upload them.
    Thanks Shiey for your inspirational videos. Great stuff 💪

    10:51 It's an autoclave. it is a vacuum system that allows the stretching of clothes. The place is not a crematorium but a laundry.
