La Isla de le Munecas, or Island of the Dolls, is a bone-chilling place because someone spent decades making it that way. Don Julian Santana Barrera left his wife and family one day to go live on the island located in Teshuilo Lake, Mexico. While there he reputedly came across a young girl who had drowned in the lake, though it’s possible he imagined the whole thing. Anyways, he later found a doll that may have belonged to her and hung it up the trees as a show of respect. And thus began an obsession that would last almost fifty years. Barrera scrounged up dolls wherever he could and continued hanging them throughout the island, converting the place from a nondescript nature reserve to a full-blown, crazy-sauce tribute to the dead girl. Dolls are already creepy by default. Half decomposed dolls with eyes and arms missing hanging around you everywhere is just a whole other level of twisted and strange.

The story comes full circle in 2001 when Barrera was found drowned in the same place he believed the young girl had died.
