Episode 115: La Isla de las Muñecas (Island of the Dolls)

Let's Get Haunted

SKIP TO 00:16:30 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S EPISODE Abróchate el p*** cinturón or buckle the f*** up because today’s episode is centered around a Mexican haunting: La Isla De Las Muñecas. La Isla De Las Muñecas or “Island of the Dolls” is alleged to be one of the most haunted locations in all of Mexico. Located on one of Xochimilco’s floating gardens outside Mexico City, the island is home to thousands upon thousands of decapitated, dismembered, and decaying baby dolls. Why did the island’s owner start collected and displaying these children’s toys around his home? According to legend, the ghost of a drowned child haunted the man for years, and the only thing that would keep the spirits at bay was the presence of these dolls. What do you think of this story, haunties? Sound off in the comments of the photo dump for this episode on IG! ALSO: you may not want to skip this week’s intro as Aly tells a personal haunting about being attacked by a dude with a sword this week. Our pain is your pleasure — enjoy!
