EP# 27 Criminal Masterminds and Cursed Shores: The Great Train Robbery of 1963 and Poveglia, Venice’s Haunted Island
On this episode of Chambers of the Occult, we're diving into two very different tales —one of calculated crime, the other of supernatural terror. J kicks things off with a breakdown of The Great Train Robbery of 1963, one of the most daring heists in British history. A band of clever criminals managed to stop a Royal Mail train in its tracks—literally—and walk away with millions. It was a heist so well-planned, it could have been straight out of a movie. But as we all know, fortune doesn’t always favor the bold. From secret hideouts to unexpected betrayals, find out how their grand scheme unraveled.
Then, just when you think you can breathe easy, Kai takes us across the world to the eerie waters of Venice, where Poveglia Island looms in the mist. Used as a dumping ground for plague victims, later transformed into a notorious asylum, and now completely abandoned, this island is considered one of the most haunted places on Earth. Screams echo through the empty buildings, spirits of the tormented refuse to leave, and some say the very soil is mixed with human ash. It’s a place so terrifying that even fishermen won’t sail too close.
Criminal masterminds and cursed shores—this episode has a little bit of everything. So settle in, dim the lights, and prepare for a journey into the shadowy corners of history.
