Mexico’s Isla de las Muñecas (Island of Dolls)

Red State

What in the world is going on here? Who—or what—put these grimy,  spooky dolls in the middle of nowhere, on an isle accessible only by boat? It’s indescribably haunting and weird.

Turns out it’s the work of one strange hermit named Don Julian Santana Barrera who moved to the uninhabited island in the 1950s. The man became haunted by the tale of a young girl who had drowned nearby and started hanging dolls in her memory. Or maybe to scare away demons? Nobody knows. More

  1. This is a nightmare of the highest order!
    I once went to an estate sale. The entire formal living room was jammed full of dolls, all sorts of dolls, dolls in boxes, doll in display cases, dolls on shelves, thousands of dolls!
    I was transfixed in horror and desperately trying to back out of the room (not gonna turn my back on those bitches).
    I was in good company. The sensible ones among us would make eye contact back out slowly.
    Then there were the crazies who cooed and smiled over the “sweet, little dolls”.
    I can’t even imagine wanting to visit this island!!!
