TF Welcome to the Island of the Dolls, the Creepiest Place in Mexico

FW:L Jan. 8, 2014

Description: Dolls are dedicated to the lost soul of a poor girl who mysteriously drowned there. This island never intended to be a tourist destination, but TV shows and news articles have made it a hotspot for ghost hunters.

XOCHIMILCO, MEXICO—They’re in the trees and on the ground, bunched together on wooden fence posts and hanging from clotheslines like laundry left to dry. Their dead eyes stare at you from half-empty sockets, their dirty hair hangs like cobwebs. Their skin is scabbed and peeling away, and their plump limbs are scattered everywhere—arms and legs strewn about haphazardly, decapitated heads impaled on stakes.
