In the horrific #DreyfusAffair, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1895, French artillery captain #AlfredDreyfus was stripped of rank by a military court and sentenced to life on #DevilsIsland prison (#Cayenne, #FrenchGuiana). His only crime was being Jewish under rising European racism.

DO NOT GO HERE: Snake Island, Poveglia & Epstein’s Island Would you spend a night on an island covered in melted human remains? How about a vacation spot where the locals are 4,000 highly venomous vipers? If you answered "hard pass," you are in the right place. In this episode, we are reacting to WatchMojo’s terrifying list of the most Sinister Islands on the planet. We are leaving the tropical paradise vibes behind and diving deep into the dark history, the government cover-ups, and the literal nightmares that inhabit these forbidden lands. Join us as we explore the places on Google Maps that you definitely don't want to book a flight to. In this episode, we unpack: - 🐍 Snake Island (Brazil): A rock so infested with Golden Lancehead vipers that the government banned humans. It’s not a movie; it’s a death trap. - 👻 Poveglia (Italy): The "Island of Madness." From plague pits to a sadistic mental asylum, discover why this is considered the most haunted place in the world. - ⚠️ The Epstein Mystery: We discuss Little St. James, looking at the chilling reality of the crimes committed in plain sight and the dark legacy left behind. - ☣️ Anthrax Island: Did you know Scotland has an island that was nuked with biological weapons? We talk about Gruinard Island and its toxic World War II history. - ⛏️ Hashima Island: The real-life Skyfall villain lair. We look at the brutal forced labor history behind Japan’s eerie "Battleship Island." From Devil's Island to the radioactive ruins of the Pacific, we rate these locations on a scale of "Creepy" to "Absolutely Not." We break down the facts, roast the reckless explorers, and discuss why some doors should stay closed. Hit play to find out where NOT to go on your next holiday. 👇 Sound Off: Which of these islands is the worst way to go? Bitten by snakes or haunted by plague doctors?

Just finished the 2021 film Devil's island and, I didn't hate it. Not a particularly thrilling mystery. But the movie ain't horrible. It wasn't garbage. Honestly, Elaine Alexander is a goodactor.🤞I see her in better movies. Enjoy. #DevilsIsland
