World Most Horrifying Place - The Island of the Dolls



Hey have you ever visit the island of the dolls in mexico?? this place was really creepy.. those place was full with an old dolls which give us more horror environment in that place. those dolls in the island of the dolls reminds me to our previous post about the most horrifying toys ever.. maybe this place was more creepy than those toys.

It really creepy place. how can this island known as the island of the dolls?? hmm it reminds me to the horror movie like the bride of chucky. anyway this place was known as the most creepiest place in the world.

Known as “La Isla de la Munecas”, by the Spanish, The Island of the Dolls is perhaps the creepiest tourist attraction in Mexico. Located within an extensive network of canals, south of Mexico City, the island is a place of mystery and superstition.

Almost every tree growing on the island is decorated with old, mutilated dolls that give anyone the feeling that they’re constantly being watched. The story behind the Island of the Dolls began when a hermit by the name of Don Julian Santana moved here. Although he was married he chose to live the last 50 years of his life alone.

Don Julian used to say he was haunted by the ghost of the little girl who had drowned in one of the canals around the island. Some say he used to fish the dolls from the water because he though they were real children, but the truth is he was collecting and placing them around his home as a shrine for the spirit that tormented him. At one point he even traded home grown fruit and vegetables for old dolls.

Ironically, in 2001 Don Julian Santana was found dead by his nephew, in the same canal that he said the little girl drowned in. Now his Island of the Dolls is one of the world’s weirdest tourist attractions. Some tourists who visited this place claim the dolls whisper and you must offer them a gift upon setting foot on the island, to appease their spirits.
