Just off Italy’s southern coast, there is a rocky island believed to be so cursed that many locals refuse to go near it.
Embedded within the wave-beaten outcrop, a tiny abandoned villa lies, all but in ruins, a mere 100 feet from the coastline of Posillipo, an affluent residential area of Naples. The island consists of two lumps of rock connected by a stone bridge. Known as Gaiola Island (or Isola della Gaoila), tourists, perhaps naively, flock here to snap holiday photos, unaware of her haunted past.
