Scary Doll Stories

Island of the Dolls

The island of the dolls is probably the creepiest location in Mexico City (and, quite possibly the world), but it's back story is actually a very sad one.

Don Julian who was a hermit who lived in a shack on a island in Xochimilco claimed he was haunted by a young girl who drowned in the canal and was desperate to appease her restless spirit.

The outcast began to collect dolls and hung them from the trees for the young girl's spirit to play with until his death in 2001, when he drowned in the very same canal as the tragic girl.

Visitors who flock to the island today claim they can hear the dolls whispering and opening and shutting their eyes and the paranormal investigation team from Destination Truth saw apparitions and were flooded with indescribably paranoia on the island.
