Kaelin Moore: 在意大利北部旅行期间，我从当地人那里听说了许多恐怖故事，其中包括波维利亚岛的闹鬼传说和马索谋杀案。波维利亚岛曾是瘟疫受害者的隔离地和精神病院，岛上流传着各种灵异传说，例如鬼魂的哭喊声和神秘的灰尘。虽然一些历史学家对这些传说的真实性提出质疑，但我亲身感受到了岛屿周围弥漫的诡异气氛。
马索谋杀案发生在维罗纳附近，受害者是皮耶特罗的父母。皮耶特罗及其同伙因金钱而杀害了父母，此案在意大利引起了极大的轰动，也引发了人们对财富腐蚀青少年心理的担忧。皮耶特罗在狱中成为某种意义上的“摇滚明星”，他的故事激励了一些年轻人效仿他的行为。
gondolier: 讲述了波维利亚岛的传说，包括瘟疫受害者被焚烧的灰烬、精神病院的残酷实验以及岛上出现的鬼魂。他描述了岛屿的荒凉景象和令人毛骨悚然的氛围，并分享了岛上曾发生过的恐怖事件。
older man: 讲述了马索谋杀案的细节，包括凶手皮耶特罗及其同伙的作案动机、作案过程以及案件对意大利社会的影响。他认为，意大利70年代的经济繁荣导致了青少年价值观的扭曲，财富的腐蚀作用是导致皮耶特罗犯罪的重要原因。
Deep Dive
Off the coast of Venice lies Poveglia, a small, eerie island shrouded in tales of plague victims, cremated remains, and restless spirits. A gondolier recounts chilling stories of ash-filled earth and the tormented souls of those who perished on the island, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
- Poveglia Island, located in the Venetian Lagoon, is rumored to be haunted by plague victims and asylum patients.
- The island's soil is said to be composed partly of the ashes of burned corpses.
- A local legend tells of Dr. Paolo, a cruel asylum doctor who tormented patients and ultimately jumped to his death from the island's bell tower.
- Some historians dispute the darker aspects of Poveglia's history, suggesting that much of it is folklore.
