The island is said to be haunted by the spirits of those who died there. Visitors have reported seeing apparitions, hearing screams, and feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness.

Devil's Island

Located off the coast of French Guiana, Devil's Island was once a notorious penal colony. Between 1852 and 1953, over 80,000 prisoners were sent to the island, where they were subjected to harsh conditions and brutality.

Today, Devil's Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore the ruins of the prison and learn about the horrors that took place there.
