Welcome to doll island: Secret shrine to little girl who drowned more than 50 years ago has become a creepy tourist attraction
Doll parts suspended from trees and strung up across ramshackle buildings have become a sinister fascination to tourists who flock to the shrine created by a Mexican artist for a little girl who drowned. Isla de la Munecas, the Island of Dolls, is a macabre memorial that was discovered when council workers were cleaning a canal south of Mexico City. Reclusive artist Julian Santana Barrera had been creating his creepy masterpiece for more than 50 years after finding a doll floating in the canal just days after a little girl's body had been fished out of the water.
