This is a real place located in
a southern borough of Mexico City on a man-made island which has been home to
thousand of terrifying and decaying dolls for decades. It has became one of the
most creepiest tourist attraction.
They are hung on the
trees or wooden fences like laundry left to dry. It
looks like the decaying corpse of children from far view.
Their dead eyes stare
at you. Most of their skin is scabbed and rotting.
The island was once
the property of Don Julián Santana, a local
farmer. In 1950, he found a little girl drowned in the canal and then her
spirit began to haunt the place. Soon after, he saw a doll floating by in the
canal he then hung it on a tree to please the girl. He hoped to appease her
tortured soul and also protect the island from further evil. Later on, he
started to gather them from trash heaps and hung them around the island like
Christmas ornaments. Over half a century, he collected more than 1,500 of these
little creepy dolls. Santana died of a
heart attack in 2001, and a small white cross near the water marks his grave.
His cousin Anastasio now lives on the island and running it as a tourist attraction.

“ Believe it or not, They will move their heads and whisper to each other in the middle
of night. Be ready before you enter this island! ” says Anastasio.
