I'm Bob from world 5 list asking you could you survive on an island with
ghosts curses or even your own imagination join me as I take you
through a journey of nine creepy and mysterious islands you wouldn't survive
on number 9 probe egg Lia island this place is located in northern Italy
between Venice and Lido but it's the history of the island that
you actually need to know about first during the Empire of Rome
the island was used to house plague victims so that they couldn't spread
their diseases any further then when the black plague did actually strike it was
used to quarantine its victims but that's just the beginning of all of the
creepiness in the 1920s a mental hospital was then built on the island
now this isn't exactly a bad thing per se I mean I don't know have you ever
been in a mental hospital let me know in the comments below but when you find out
that the doctor who ran the institution was also apparently mental that he also
tortured and mutilated many people who were in the institution and that he
apparently died from mist strangling him that's when things get even more strange
now there are many claims about things that people either saw or heard but as
of now the Italian government has had enough and shut the island down for good
allowing no one to step foot on it is that still not enough for you well as it
turns out fishermen don't go near the island either but why that's because
they keep dredging up body parts in their nets number 8 Oak Island if an
island does appear to have a treasure people will actually go out of their way
in order to find it and that includes risking their own lives such is the case
of Oak Island an island that's 500 feet away from Canada in 1795 a trio of boys
would find something on Oak Island they didn't exactly expect it was a big
man-made hole and curiosity would kill the cat because
they decided to go into the hole and dig down even further as they did they found
more man-made items as well as some that were scribed on tablets that stated that
there was a treasure if they went even deeper time went on and the money pit
would grow in its legend with more people coming to the island to try and
get the treasure six people in all have actually died attempting to find
whatever it is that's supposedly hidden down there but here's a fun fact for you
Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself was one such person who then decided to try
and go figure out the mystery of the pit thankfully he didn't die in the attempt
The Legend of the island does state that one more victim will be claimed before
the treasure is found so any volunteers and I didn't think so number seven the e
zu Islands now this one gets a little bit tricky because there are people
living on the e zu islands but there's one heck of a catch that goes along with
that you see these islands which are set on
the southeast side of Japan are notorious for volcanic activity all the
way to the point where they happen so frequently in fact that people are
ordered to carry gas masks around with them all the time but why well it's
because of the sulfur in the area that's led out by the volcanoes and that alone
makes it a place that you wouldn't survive on if you're not prepared
adding to the so-called fun the chain of islands is also known to be hit by
floods tsunamis intense storms and much much more
number six sin Guin Island this place is located in the state of Maine and has a
very very special purpose that's because it holds a lighthouse now for those who
forgot lighthouses were used to help ensure that boats made it to shore
safely without crashing into the rocks and several people over the years housed
up in the lighthouse to ensure that the job would be maintained but one married
couple soon took over the duties and it's quiet and isolating living on an
island like that and that's when the wife got out of
piano and would play it often apparently though her husband didn't actually like
the music and eventually murdered her and then killed himself out of madness
but wait there's more in 1985 the lighthouse would be shut down and as
part of the process it was cleaned out furniture and all the night before the
departure of the furniture via a ship the man in charge stayed in the
lighthouse he claimed to have been woken up when his bed began shaking by itself
and he also heard a voice telling him to leave his home alone not deterred the
man ignored the warning boarded up all the furniture on the ship and sent it
away and then the ship sank in a freak accident
number 5 the island of the dolls now there are some things that register to
everyone as being creepy and Dolls well they can certainly be that too many
especially when they're made in a certain way I mean the Amish believe if
you put a face on a doll it could be infected with the spirit of Satan and
get into you but also when they're hung from trees on an island that's equally
as creepy in Mexico if you go down the Xochimilco canal you're going to
eventually find yourself looking at some trees some bushes and some other green
things that all have dolls hanging from them this leads to an island that is
literally called the island of the dolls yes it is literal and there is a reason
for it but it's a little bit spooky there once was a man named Don Julio and
he was a regular man until one day when he felt that he was being haunted by a
girl who had drowned in the canal the girl apparently haunted him so much that
it drove him into a hermit like life in an attempt to try and please the spirit
of the young girl he then decided to collect some dolls and hang them from
the trees this was meant as a gesture to the girl so that she would always have
something to play with the man then died in 2001 why
he ironically drowned in the canal number four Alcatraz now no I don't mean
that if you're locked up you wouldn't survive though that is an option
Alcatraz was built to be one of the safest and most secure prisons that was
ever constructed and despite numerous breakout attempts there's never been an
official confirmed escape though there are some rumors that it did happen
anyway though the prison eventually would be shut down it's still a tourist
destination located in San Francisco and ever since the people started flocking
there to find out about it they've also been hearing strange things and it's not
just the tourists because there are some guards and personnel that are still
stationed there in order to prevent looting and destruction of the property
and they claim to have heard things too but what exactly is it that everyone's
hearing well some people hear the spirits of former prisoners some are
sobbing because they feel that they're still locked up there and while some do
hear clanging against prison bars there's no one there to clang against
them other accounts include extra prisoners who show up on the island when
it was still operational and other abnormalities that have led it to being
a place that you don't really want to go unless you're of sound mind and even
then it's still questionable I don't know about you would you spend a night
in Alcatraz let me know in the comments below number three ramree island it
would be during World War two that a group of 900 Japanese soldiers found
themselves in grave danger not from the island well not yet anyways but from
allied soldiers knowing that they were going to lose they made their way to the
only escape that they had which was ramree island soon though they would
come to regret that decision because in order to get there they had to wade
their way through a swamp and that swamp unbeknownst to them had loads and loads
of crocodiles saltwater crocodiles to be specific now I'll spare you the gory
details but need to say of the 900 men 500 of them were
killed by the crocodiles and the ones that did make it to the shoreline were
all injured by the beasts more or less anyway hey if we stayed away from the
crocodiles we can survive there right well wrong for the ramree island is also
a home to mosquitoes and blowflies which kind of carry malaria if you didn't know
more so there's also scorpions so trying to survive all of that and the Crocs
would be an adventure within itself number two the North Pacific Gyre now
let me ask you this question when you throw your trash away do you recycle you
should but do you honestly recycle if not you're probably part of the problem
going on in the North Pacific Gyre you see when garbage is dumped into the
ocean both in the US and in China it often ends up in the same place the
North Pacific Gyre and the currents and tides literally work their magic
bringing all of the trash plastics and other objects that float into the area
and what you get is an island that's made entirely of garbage now you may
think come on it can't be that bad can it
well at its last documentation the island is now about the size of Texas
how's that for bad now we did call it an island and it is definitely that however
you'd soon think of this place as kind of like a mirage because there's not
enough mass for you to stand on it you would probably fall right through and
likely drown as you tried to get back on is that still not bad enough for you
well sharks also apparently surround the garbage heap so if the trash doesn't get
you their razor-sharp teeth probably well and you won't survive
number one islands being overrun by animals now to wrap it all up there are
several islands out there in the world that are actually infested by animals of
a single species for example in Japan there is Oka no shima island which is
overrun by rabbits well that's not so you might say except that the rabbits
are born from rabbits that were used in chemical experimentation yeah there's
also an island that's infested by cats hordes of them and with my allergies no
thank you finally and quite morbidly and perhaps
the most scary there's an island called Christmas island and it's warmed over by
crabs which I know for myself I don't want any part of and I'm sure that you
don't either thanks for watching today make sure that you subscribe to our
channel for more in the future and I'll see you next time
