Isle of Demons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Isle of Demons is a legendary land once believed to exist near Newfoundland. It was generally shown as two islands. It began appearing on maps in the beginning of the 1500s, and disappeared in the mid-1600s.

It was believed that the island was populated by demons and wild beasts. The demons and wild beasts would torment and attack any ships that passed or anyone that was foolish enough to wander on to the island.

[edit] Trivia

In the video game Final Fantasy VIII there exist two islands on the the world map entitled the Islands "Closest to Heaven/ Hell". Each of these islands contains a myriad of ferocious and high-level beasts, and they may have been inspired partially by the Isle of Demons legends.
