Poveglia, the world's most haunted island, is for sale

What's been described as the world's most haunted island has been put up for sale by the Italian government, and could become a luxury hotel.

Poveglia, in the Venice lagoon, is to go up for auction next month on a 99-year lease. It is one of around 150 state-owned properties to go under the hammer in deals expected to raise about €500 million for the cash-strapped government.
