Island of the Dolls, Mexico City
For the totally creepy factor, head to the Isla de las Muñecas, or “Island of the Dolls,” in Mexico City where the trees are draped with hundreds of dolls of all shapes and sizes, some without limbs or bodies. The local lore claims that a guy named Julian filled the island with dolls that he found floating in the river after he was unable to save a little girl from drowning, and that the dolls, possessed with the girl’s spirit, often move their heads or open their eyes. The only part of that story that can be verified is the piece about a guy named Julian filling the island with dolls, which, honestly, is enough to make this one heck of an eerie place to visit.
