The UK island filled with human remains like a 'horror film' where visitors are banned

An island in the UK dubbed 'Deadman's Island' is littered with coffins and humans remains and the public are banned from visiting it. Off the coast just north of Kent lies an uninhabited island with skeletal remains scattered across the land.

Historically a burial site for those who fell ill from contagious diseases on prison ships some 200 years ago is now a bird breeding and nesting place with wooden coffins and remains able to be seen up close, reports Wales Online.

What's left of people once buried six feet under has risen to the surface, being exposed after centuries due to coastal erosion. Members of the public or those with an fascination for the macabre are banned from entering.
