Welcome, ghouls and ghoulettes, to the first in a series of Spooktober specials. Case files dug up especially to thrill and chill. Beginning in 1347, the Black Plague cut short the lives of nearly 20 million Europeans. Entire towns wiped out by the devious disease. One of the hardest hit was the idyllic city of Venice. Almost half of the population of the then city-state was exterminated. In the centuries that followed, Venice, having learned some costly lessons, turned some of its islands into places of exile and death for those unfortunate enough to be suspected of contracting the cruel contagion. One of these islands not only has a history of plague and pestilence but also, as the legend goes, was the final stop for many afflicted with maladies of the mind. This case file, join the Fearists as they delve into the dead and gondola with grave misgivings about visiting the Venetian isola della morte also known as...Poveglia Island
