Enter Mexico’s haunted ‘Island of the Dolls’ if you dare: Thousands of creepy toys hang from the trees to quell the tormented screams of a ghost of a little girl who drowned there

Julian Santana Barrera retreated to a remote wooded area in Xochimilco, Mexico city to live out his life as a recluse

He discovered corpse of a young girl - and the toy doll she left behind - floating in a nearby canal when he arrived

Barrera began to hear footsteps in the night and the anguished wails of a woman after he hung the doll from a tree

He continued to hang other toy dolls from the trees in the ‘chinampas’ area to appease her ghost for over 50 years

His family now run the area as tourist attraction where visitors hang other dolls and claim to hear them whispering

“Hundreds of photographers and thrill-seekers travel to the haunted Island of the Dolls every year, but it was never meant to be a tourist attraction.

After a two-hour canal ride from Mexico City, they arrive at a nightmarish clearing deep in the woods where thousands of mutilated dolls hang from the trees and hide among the dense branches.

They were put there by a reclusive Mexican man who believed they would appease the troubled ghost of a small girl who died there over 50 years ago - and still haunts the woods today.”
