La Isla de las Muñecas: The Haunted Island of Dolls, a Drowned Girl & 50 Years of Obsession

Send us Fan MailThis week. we are taking you somewhere you won't soon forget — deep into the ancient canals of Xochimilco, just south of Mexico City, to uncover the chilling story of La Isla de las Muñecas: The Island of the Dolls.Thousands of decaying, dismembered dolls hang from every tree branch, fence, and wall of a tiny, isolated island. And it all started with one reclusive man, a drowned girl, and a doll floating in a canal. In this episode, we dig into the haunting life of Don Julián Santana Barrera, the hermit who spent 50 years collecting dolls to appease a restless spirit... and whose mysterious death may have been the island's most chilling chapter yet. Visitors report whispering voices, dolls that seem to move, strange EMF readings, and a feeling that something on the island doesn't want you there.Then, in our Somebody Told Me segment, Feliz shares a story from a local Key West worker who reports to strange occurrences in a historic house museum where books don't just fall off shelves — they fly.Connect with us:Website: youtwoscaremepodcast.com Patreon: patreon.com — search You Two Scare Me Podcast Send us your own spooky story for our Somebody Told Me segment: [email protected] you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
