Poveglia Island

Poveglia Asylum is an asylum on the most haunted island in the world. The island is called Poveglia Island. Poveglia Island is located Off the coast of Venice, Italy. This place will send shivers down your spine. Spirits crawl and haunt the place they once new. Dark evil spirits breathing down your neck. The screams of people who went here. The shadows hiding in this abandoned asylum. My dad came up to me and asked if I wanted to go here and see what’s so scary about this place. Of course I said I would because I like scary movies and haunted houses. We planned to go this weekend. I was excited to go I couldn’t wait. The days passed so quickly and then It was the weekend so we went and asked a man If he could take us there on a boat. He said “it will cost you” so my dad asked “how much”? The man answered and said “fifty american dollars”. My dad gave him the money and we were on our way. It was morning and the sun started to rise. When I saw the island I felt shivers go down my spine. We got there about 20 minutes later and it was full of trees and moss. The birds were very noisy, none that I have ever heard before. The man that drove the boat here has been here many times, so we asked him if he had stories and he said “no I just take people here”. My dad and I were on our way to the entrance of the big asylum and we heard something in the bushes right to the right of us and so we opened the bush and a bird flew out of there. It scared me and my dad. We finally found the entrance and went in. The rooms were dark filled with history and roomers. There was a bed with blood on it. The blood was wearing away as if had been there for a long time so my dad and I thought nothing of it. The building was huge so there was a lot of exploring to do. We started on the first floor. There weren't that many rooms down there but there was a rotten smell. My dad and I were trying to figure out what that smell was and where it was coming from. My dad and I found the source of where it was coming from. It was a dead bird that was laying in one of the dark corners of the room. As I got closer the room dropped temperatures. It felt like 20 degrees in there. I felt as if someone was watching me from behind me in the doorway so I turned around but nothing was there. We went on exploring the dark rooms and finally we were done with the first floor. I said to my dad lets get some fresh air. He said ok and walked outside with me. It got warmer as the day went on. I was thinking about that blood that was on the bed sheet. I was wondering if that was a murder or if it was a suicide. It was around 5 pm and we decided to go back to the boat and get something to eat. I had a couple sandwiches and so did my dad. Me and my dad got some rest after we ate. The time was no a little  after 8 so we decided to talk to the driver and ask what is the craziest rumor he had heard about this island. He said, “ I haven’t heard many but I heard that if you spend the night here the ghosts will come out of the dark and play with your mind. Me and my dad went to bed it was about nine o'clock now. I woke up it was 3 in the morning. I tried to get up and get a drink of water and I couldn’t move. I knew I was having sleep paralysis. I started to panic. I passed out and woke up again. I was in a dark room where I saw the blood earlier. I saw a tall figure with glowing red eyes. Things started to be thrown across the room. What I encountered was a demon. The demon was so strong it picked up the bed and through it at me. I was slammed into the wall. I still couldn’t move but I was in a lot of pain. I tried to scream but I couldn’t. My dad woke up the next day and saw that I was gone. He called my name but I didn’t answer. He went to look for me but couldn’t find me. He then called the cops and the cops searched the island. They finally found me I was in so much pain and needed to go to the hospital. I passed out and next thing I know I was in the hospital with a body cast.
