The Island of Dolls
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
The Planet Oddity blog showcased this photo set awhile back from Mexico's infamous Island of Dolls. Here, a man named Don Julian Santana spent decades throwing toy dolls across the island, supposedly to appease the spirit of a deceased girl. He inadvertently created a nightmarescape whose moniker sounds like the perfect title for a weird tale. The island's playful inhabitants are a genuinely eerie sight, doubly creepy because it's easy to imagine some other muse besides obsession directing its creator.
