“average youtuber has 3 channels” factoid actualy just statistical error. average youtuber has 1 channel. Simon Whistler, who lives in cave & films over 10,000 videos each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

The island of Poveglia: Haunted or simply historic?

The urban legends of Poveglia's haunting is fun but it turns out the actual history of the island is even more intriguing.

Maybe.

Since this isn't really in my wheelhouse, I could only do the most superficial of information searches. My internet was taken up with pages and pages about the haunting of Poveglia. We've run into this problem before though with one site putting up something and every site after simply copying without checking for themselves so I can believe Poveglia has become a telephone game of urban myth. It was hard to find anything that said otherwise though.

I did find the book by David Basato and Paola Sfameni on Amazon. Unfortunately it was in Italian and out of print. I couldn't find any website run by David Basato in english about the island (unless it was on Facebook which I don't have). I had better luck when I searched for Poveglia per Tutti (Poveglia for Everyone). While the articles I found were about modern day problems and the attempt to buy the island for Venice instead of for cruise ships, one of the articles mentioned the 'haunting' and that it was a recent fabrication.

So - Poveglia, still mysterious and veiled even when simply trying to fact check it.

Can someone help Simon Whistler? He is so tortured by casual criminalist and it's so heartbreaking.

Can't someone else host for him? Can't his writers just not go into such terrible detail? No one would blame him for not doing it either he has so many other shows!

Multiple cremations, where you mix cremated remains from Multiple family members before burying the urn, are a thing that archaeologist didn't used to look for, but know know to be a rite common across parts of the British bronze age and bitsof the roman wirld, smongst other places, and its still almost impossible to spot.

Ancient cremated remains aren't ash: modern cremations are ashy because we put the chunky burnt bone lumps in a machine called a cremulator, which uses either vibration or blunt force from rotating weights to break down the lumps and no, I have no idea why we do this, I guess at some point the Victorians just desired the lumps were unsightly.

Dna is a non starter for cremations that old, and most identifying structures in the bone that might help you determine sex (pelvic notch, brow ridges, ratio of femur length to femur head radius) or age ( tooth wear, arthritis, unfused epethisial ends of bones) are gone, so your going thing the cremation vibeing and listening to a Simon Whistler podcast while looking at tiny (5 to 20mm) lumps of bone and then youll be like " huh, ear hole" (the annulus tympanicus in children, part of the temporal bone once the skull fuses in adults, it always seems to survive the flames, don't ask me why) "Thats the third one so far. Oh fuck, why does this person have three ear holes? Ooooh... how many people is this?"

My record is two adults, a child and a dog and shit i've just outed what i do for a living.

YouTube, stop trying to trick me into watching Simon Whistler videos.

I don't intend to help you pay this guy even more money to read incorrect information he paid someone else to plagiarize.
