Don’t ask me why though—we’re all surprised they even considered it. The funny thing is, our school hasn’t taken a field trip in three years, and this is the first placed they decided to go to.

Due to the fact that Italy didn’t have anywhere to keep the mentally ill, in 1922, the island was transformed into a mental asylum. The highly disturbed could be kept isolated from the mainland. The hospital was large and had a very impressive bell tower. Right when the asylum opened patients immediately began reporting sightings of the ghosts of the plague victims.
