Halloween is right around the corner and AESU, the most trusted name in travel, has decided to get into the holiday spirit the best way we know how\u2026by highlighting some of the creepiest, crawliest, and spookiest places around the world. So far we have explored Edinburgh Castle<\/a> in Scotland, as well as the creepiest attractions in Budapest<\/a>. This week we are going to take a look at the Scary Side of Venice<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Explore the Scary Side of Venice: Ca’Dario Manor and Poveglia Island<\/h2>\n

Venice is often regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Very rarely does one hear about the spookier side of things, but that is exactly what we are here to change\u2026<\/p>\n

Ca’Dario Manor<\/b><\/p>\n

This gorgeous building on the Canal Grande may seem ordinary to the naked eye, but the Ca’Dario Manor is anything but. It brings with it a curse. In fact, between 1487 and 1993, many of those who have owned the building have met a violent death – thirteen successive owners.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the 15th<\/sup> Century, the Ca’Dario Manor\u2019s designer and owner, Giovanni Dario, lost his son to murder and his daughter to suicide while under the cursed roof.<\/li>\n
  2. Count delle Lanza was murdered.<\/li>\n
  3. Kit Lambert, the manager of \u201cThe Who,\u201d committed suicide.<\/li>\n
  4. Raul Gardini committed suicide.<\/li>\n
  5. And so on\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s no wonder why the people of Venice call Ca ‘Dario the \u201chouse that kills.\u201d Only a handful of owners have been able to circumvent the curse.<\/p>\n

    Poveglia Island<\/b><\/p>\n

    The island of Poveglia sits in the South Lagoon between Venice and Lido. For centuries, the small island has served as a refuge, stronghold, and even a dumping ground for the diseased, dying, and deceased. Over the years, it’s estimated that more than 160,000 bodies were dumped on the tiny island, most coming when the plague ripped through Europe.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0In the 1800\u2019s, the area\u2019s mentally ill were sent to an asylum on Poveglia Island. Then in the 1930\u2019s, legend has it that one of the doctors at the asylum performed strange experiments on his patient in an attempt to cure their insanity before going mad himself, and committing suicide.<\/p>\n

    Today, the entire island is abandoned, except for the restless spirits that still reside on Poveglia. In fact, the island of Poveglia is now regarded as one of the most haunted locations on the planet, not just in Italy.<\/p>\n
