Saw this from an article and went online to search for it.
Isla De Las Muñecas, know as the Island of the Dolls, located near Mexico city. From the name, you should already know that this island is full of Dolls, or rather ... ... Unwanted Dolls.
Why is the Island full of Dolls?
(Copied from one of the website)
"...The Island Of The Dolls is a shrine to a dead girl who was said to haunt (Santan), and in whose honor he collected dolls, to calm her restless spirit.
“Some people claim Don Julián was mad, and that he’d fish dolls out of the canal believing they were real children, and that he could nurse them back to life. But the real story is that, soon after Don Julián arrived on the island, he came to believe this place was haunted by the spirit of a poor young girl who drowned in the canal. So when he saw a doll floating past he took it and put it on a tree, both to protect himself from evil and make the dead girl happy. But one doll wasn’t enough; soon Don Julián had made the entire island into a shrine.”
For decades, Don Julián amassed a huge collection of dolls that had been rejected by their owners, either plucking them out of the canal as they bobbed past, or scavenging toys from rubbish heaps on rare excursions from his secluded home.
In later years, locals began to trade old dolls with Don Julián in return for home-grown vegetables, and before his death the hermit’s cadaverous collection covered every inch of the island – each unloved toy receiving a second lease of life as part of his surreal shrine."
Alot of the article said that this guy died in 2001, in the same canal where the young girl have drowned. So I think those dolls didnt help him much also. I've also attached a video below.
These dolls look very scary to me.
Dunno why some gals like them so much.
This Island is now one of the tourist attraction in Mexico, many have went there. But some say that the dolls have all been removed. I wonder ... HmMmm....
