The Haunted Lagoon: Venice's Islands of Plague, Madness, and Mystery

Venice is famous for its beautiful canals, but hidden beyond the tourist crowds lies a darker history that few visitors ever see. In this episode, we explore the infamous island of Poveglia, a place long associated with plague victims, abandoned hospitals, ghost stories, and one of Italy's most enduring paranormal legends. We separate historical fact from centuries of folklore while uncovering the truth behind claims of mass deaths, haunted bell towers, and mysterious sightings. Then we travel to San Servolo, the forgotten "Island of the Mad," where more than 200,000 psychiatric patients passed through an isolated asylum. From medieval quarantine stations to World War II atrocities, these forgotten islands reveal how Venice once hid disease, suffering, and society's outcasts just beyond its famous skyline. Are these islands truly haunted, or is history itself terrifying enough? Find Edwin as @edwincov For more of our shows, visit ScaryFM.com HorrorStory.com

Haunted Utah: Ghosts of the Promised Land

For generations, Utah has been known as a place of faith, pioneers, and the search for a promised land. But beneath that history lies something far stranger. In this episode, I explore the eerie connection between early Mormon beliefs, frontier supernatural traditions, and some of Utah's most persistent ghost stories. From the Purple Lady of Salt Lake City to the haunted halls of the Great Saltair, these chilling accounts reveal a state where many believe the veil between the living and the dead has always been unusually thin. Are Utah's ghosts simply legends, or are they echoes of a spiritual worldview that never went away? You can find Edwin social media as @edwincov Have an idea you want to send?
