Deadman's Island: Forgotten Suffering
Update: 2025-12-24
Description
Deadmans Island: A Forgotten Graveyard Off the Kent CoastDeadmans Island, a marshy spot off the Kent coast, hides a chilling secret. Once a burial ground for convicts, sailors, and prisoners of war from the 1600s to 1800s, its now a haunting site with old wooden coffins and human bones scattered in the mud. The island served as a graveyard for those who died on cramped prison ships, or hulks, nearby, which were floating hells filled with disease. Over 200 sets of remains have been found, and rising sea levels are speeding up erosion, exposing more bones. The island is a stark reminder of forgotten suffering, with legends of glowing-eyed hellhounds and missing skulls adding to its eerie allure.
