Island of the Dolls is the Scariest Place in the World

Posted on 10 April 2010

Man, there’s just something strange about dolls. Especially mutilated dolls nailed to trees.

An odd Mexican hermit who wanted to keep people away from his island began leaving dolls in strange places, often in scenes of horrible pain and agony. After his death, his deterrent became a creepy tourist attraction.

This is a ghostly sight that serves as a dark tourist attraction especially for the young generation who is fascinated by gore and death. Many visitors are overwhelmed by the dead childish faces of dolls that never lived but appear to haunt this place, always looking at us as though we were responsible for their deaths.

You can see a full gallery of the island at Planet Oddity.
