Dolls of Doom or Fatality

La Isla de las Munecas, more famously known as "The Island of Dolls", is located in the canals close to Mexico City. On the island lies a shrine dedicated to a young female child who passed away due to unknown circumstances. Well, that is what is said. Others say differently, a story of Don Julian. Julian was having a sermon on the streets of Mexico when he was mobbed by villagers. Thinking the villagers were being influenced by a negative force, he began to collect dolls to lock away the bad entities. Eventually, he left his family and moved onto the island for the last 50-or-so years of his life.
