The Most Unexplainable Places on Earth

Island of the Dolls

The Island of the Dolls in Mexico is an incredibly haunting island deep in the Mexican swamp forest. It's in the canals of the Xochimilco neighborhood near Mexico City and can only be visited via boat. The island's caretaker became haunted by guilt after he was unable to save a little girl who drowned nearby. He decorated the island with baby dolls in her honor. Now, his nephew manages the island.
