The Island of the Dolls sounds like a horror movie, but I guess it's real: After a little girl drowned there, people put dolls everywhere on this Mexican island to honor her spirit, but it just makes it look uber-haunted.

About Me
- Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

This was featured in an episode (long ago) of Lonely Planet where Justine Shapiro went to Mexico City. It also featured a dissociative weird guy living on the island.
It was also featured on an episode of Destination Truth last fall and I swear it was one of the scariest things I have ever seen. Creepy!
