The Island of the Dolls, "La Isla de la Munecas" in Mexico is a renowned tourist destination with thousands of mutilated ugly dolls hanging from every tree.

Don Julian Santana, renouncing the world and his family to inhabit this island, dedicated his life to create the island of the Dolls which is believed to please the spirit of his drowned little girl. He is thought to scare off inquisitive onlookers by scary dolls. He was discovered drowned in 2001. His death did not take his eerie disturbed vision away.

Tourists will be attracted by a ghostly sight of dead childish faces of dolls which always graze at them as if they had to be in charged of dolls' death.
