Description:
Just outside Mexico City, the ‘Island of Dolls’ is home to many worn out and creepy dolls. It’s said that the caretaker of the island found a dead body of a girl on the island; so he started hanging up old dolls to the trees all around the island in order to appease the girl’s spirit. Later, in 2001 the caretaker himself was found dead in the spot where he said he found the girl’s dead body.
