Survivor Islands of Adventure is now casting for it's third season! The first two seasons took us to the islands of Zanzibar and Palmyra. Both seasons featured twists and some shocking tribal councils.
The third season will be taking place on Poveglia Island.
The Island of Poveglia is located in a lagoon in Venice, Italy...and it is anything but ordinary. It has been featured in other reality shows such as Scariest Places on earth.
A variety of scary legends surround the island. It is said that during Roman times, it was used to isolate thousands of plague victims. It was considered an efficient way of keeping the infected people separated from the healthy. A supposed over 160,000 people died on the island.
In recent times, Another legend surrounds a building erected in 1922 on the island, which was used for various purposes, including usage as a mental hospital. The legend states that a particular mental health doctor tortured and butchered many of the patients, before going "mad" and jumping to his death from the bell tower. According to that same legend, he survived the fall, but was 'strangled by a mist that came up from the ground'. Its ruins remain to this day.
Currently, Poveglia is uninhabited...however that is about to change.
24 Survivor Castaways will now be living and competing against one another, on Poveglia.
