Doll Island!!!

Just south of mexico city, between the canals of xochimico you can find a small island with a sad background which never intended to be a tourist destination. The island is known as isla de las munecas (island of the dolls). It is dedicated to the lost soul of a poor girl who met her fate too soon in strange circumstances. The area has thousands of people, but this small island is home to hundreds of terrifying dolls. Their severed limbs, decapitated heads, and blank eyes adorn trees. Dolls are threatening, even in the bright light of midday, but in the dark, they are particularly disturbing.

It is said that a girl was found drowned in mysterious circumstances many years ago on this island and that the dolls are possessed by her spirit. Local legend says that the dolls move their heads and arms and even opened their eyes. Some witnesses claim they had heard the dolls whispering to each other, while others who were on a boat near the island said the dolls lured them to come down to the island. Of course these witnesses are exaggerating and the island is in no way possessed but the truth is that the isla de las munecas is a very creepy place that marks the casual visitor.

They’re in the trees and on the ground, bunched together on wooden fence posts and hanging from clotheslines like laundry left to dry. Their dead eyes stare at you from half-empty sockets, their dirty hair hangs like cobwebs. Their skin is scabbed and peeling away, and their plump limbs are scattered everywhere—arms and legs strewn about haphazardly, decapitated heads impaled on stakes.

The island was once the property of don julián santana, a local farmer The island was once the property of don julián santana, a local farmer. Legend has it that in 1950 he saw a little girl drown in the canal and her spirit began haunting the place. Terrified, don julián started collecting dolls to protect himself from her ghost. He gathered them from trash heaps and hung them around the island like creepy christmas ornaments. Over half a century, he collected more than 1,500 of these little horrors. The oldest is still there, hanging in a shed by the entrance. From afar, it looks like the decaying corpse of a child.

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, running it as a tourist attraction. “The spirit of the little girl is still here,” he says. “It’s important not to remove the dolls. At night, he says, they come alive. “They will move their heads and whisper to each other. It’s very spooky, but I have gotten used to it.

A trip to the island of the dolls takes about two hours by boat and leads you through quiet green pastures where birds and farm animals graze. It’s a far cry from the smog and frenzy of mexico city, a sprawling capital that’s home to roughly 9 million people. Ghost stories and tales of the supernatural are part of the local lore here in xochimilco. At cuemanco, one of the docks from where the gondolas embark, there are numerous crosses and plaques dedicated to la llorona, the “weeping woman.” Locals say she killed her children to be with the man she loved. When he rejected her, she drowned herself. When the islands are covered in fog, many claim the weeping woman haunts the area, crying out for her kids.

where was it Just south of mexico city, between the canals of xochimico you can find a small island with a sad background which never intended to be a tourist destination. The island is known as isla de las munecas (island of the dolls).

How did it start Mr santana barrera created the terrifying island in dedication of a little girl whose dead body he found floating in the canal near his home. A few days later he found a doll in the same spot and, believing that the girl's spirit lived on inside it, he hung it up
