The Short Story of The Doll Island

There is a small island t in Mexico which is the place of thousands of dolls mutilated and hanged in on the trees.

The stare from the dolls are so cold that it can scare away the people coming to visit the island. Therefore, if you’re afraid of dolls, do not visit the place.

It was exactly located in Xochimilco, Mexico and called as ‘the doll island’ where you can see the old dolls hanging on the tree.

However, the history of this island is so miserable. A legend says that an actor named Julian Santana Barrera was the first person who hanged the first doll in the island, it was said that it was like he was forced to do it by the screaming of a girl who was drowned near him.

It became a place known as the scariest place ever in the world ever since, but from time to time, the visitors visiting the island would leave a coin and hand a doll until the island was full of dolls and made it even scarier.

The Scary Story of Deadman’s Island

 

If you hear the name “Stanley Park”, you might think of a quiet park where you can walk on the seawall in the afternoon, but it is actually one of the most haunted islands in North America.

Deadman’s Island is a place of ancient horror stories. The terrifying phenomena and the ghost sightings report is increasing. There are some loud noises at nights, footsteps, and a screaming of a woman.

Supernatural stories of this island have been existed since a very long time ago…

The island was called “Island of Dead Men” by the Squamish people a long time ago and known for a battle zone.

The government offered Samuel Brighouse to buy the island in 1860s but he was turned down. However, his friend, John Morton explored the island anyway.

He explored it with a boat and found a lot of red cedar boxes left in the braches of the trees. He found out that they were fragile when he touched it and some long-deceased inhabitant fossils fell out upon him.

There was a serious disease in the 1890s in Vancouver and the island was used to accommodate the infected people. Having the disease was like getting a dead sentence because they would only be allowed to go home if they could heal.

The island was a great place for logging quarrel and it was leased to American industrialist Theodore Ludgate for building a wood factory.

The people living there were mad because they thought the island was still a part of Stanley Park and shouldn’t have been opened for any businesses.

Ludgate headed to the island with his man in 1899 to do the logging but he and his people were arrested instead.

Some exact same things happen until Ludgate’s land lease expired in 1930.

Police occupied the island at nights in 1909 to keep the lodgers away. They said there were some scary noises and skeletons threatening anyone who would do the logging there.
