Island of the dolls, Mexico
Have you ever been fond of dolls as your playmates? Well, just south of Mexico City, between the canals of Xochimico you can find a small island that covered a sad background of a poor little girl. Don Julian Santana Barrera is said to be the caretaker of the island and was the one who found the little girl who was drowned in a mysterious circumstances. Unable to save her life, when he found a floating doll shortly after he saw the little girl, he decided to hang it to a tree as a way of showing his respect. But there are other rumors that say he was haunted by the little girl. That he started hanging more and more dolls in attempt to please her spirit. He then went completely different from who he was before and after 50 years of collecting dolls, he was found dead, drowned in the same spot as the little girl was. Now, local legend say that the dolls move their heads and arms and can even open their eyes. Some witnesses also claimed to have heard whispers coming from them while others who were on a boat near the island said that they were being lured in by those dolls.
