I hope you enjoy them, Asala. ;-)
I have all of them; my favourite is "VeneziaEnigma" (a gorgeous book in black& white & silver) - but I am not sure whether it's been translated into English yet.

Some stories are gruesome, other tenderly endearing.
You can find some of them here:

Unfortunately, after that first visit Anya never returned.

But (being the bloodhound I am) I managed to find the second and final part of the blog.

Enjoy.

Personally, I don't think the figure is a "ghost".
Obviously, I don't know he is, but he might be one of the people who have vineyards and orchards on the north side of the island. Or perhaps one of the people involved with the renovation project.
And the sea was probably choppy, so it's no wonder that he looks "blurry".

I also have other misgivings about the stories circulated about Poveglia in the English-speaking part of the internet... but that's a a different story. :-)

By the way, I have noticed that people are often under the impression that Venice "must" be a very haunted city.
Well... it may be, but you could never tell.
In my experience - and I have visited it many times (no less than 20 times) - it is certainly a very "atmospheric" town, but ghosts seem to avoid the Venetians. And with good reason.
(But that, too, is a different story... :-)

Sure, there are stories. (And I already mentioned the best books that cover most of them.)
What I am saying is, those stories are surprisingly scarce considering the age of the city and its murky history.
Besides, some of those stories are decidedly tongue-in-cheek. :-)

I agree: it's not a place where one would particularly WANT to go.

Why did you go?

Were you camping there?

Not watched it myself yet. Think I'll wait until my mum is awake and ummm watch it while shes in the room.... because you know ummm... swamp gas yeah... that works for the government. LOL

Enjoy some of the other Youtube Related videos too!!

Apparently the ppl of Venice are very superstitious. Most residents believe in the supernatural, and feel that its best to leave the restless spirits alone. Some believe to disturb them is to bring ultimate sorrow upon yourself and that if you are a happy person and you love life, Poveglia isnt somewhere you would want to visit, unless you desire to be saturated with sadness and darkness. Especially if you are not a bleiever, to visit the island would be like laughing in the face of the spirits that dwell there, and they would only harm you.
