Sample Facts

A small clay tablet from Babylon is said to be the world's oldest depiction of a ghost - although the image can only be seen when viewed from above. Dating back to 1500 BCE, the ancient tablet serves as a guide to exorcising ghosts. The last line tells the reader to "not look behind you"!

Many claim that Poveglia, a small, abandoned island located between Venice and Lido in northern Italy, is the most haunted place in the world. During the Black Death, more than 160,000 people were sent there to die, while from 1922, the island housed a mental asylum. Today Poveglia is off-limits - but illegal visitors have reported feeling an overwhelming sense of sorrow and anguish, and of hearing the pitiful cries of the island's restless souls.
