Island of the Dolls

Island of the Dolls is an island located south of Mexico City, between the canals of Xochimico. The island is very creepy place and home to hundreds if not thousands of terrifying dolls. Their severed limbs, decapitated heads and blank eyes hang up from the trees. Mold covers some, while others are missing most of their artificial hair. Spiders and insects have taken up residence in the hollow parts of most of the dolls.

The story goes that Don Julian found a drowned girl and because he was not able to save her life he at least tried to appease her spirit and showing respect to her by hanging her doll found in the sea to the tree. No one really knows what happened but Don Julian continued in hanging the dolls for most of his life. After he died in 2001, the island became touristic attraction and tourists bring even more dolls to the island.

Visiting this place must be really creepy experience and many swear they heard the dolls whispering to them or to each other. Some of the people who were on boat reported being lured by the dolls to come down to the island.
