Island of the Dolls - Mexico
Mythical And Paranormal Realm | Myths | Horror Stories | Scary Tales
Whether its an unsolved mystery, a popular misconception, or sometimes just a big hoax urban legends are an inevitable part of any culture. But, plenty of these classic myths are actually true — and the truth is often more ghastly and macabre than the fiction. Even more interesting is how some of these fables originated. Myths have to start somewhere, and oftentimes it’s a dark chapter in history or a strange effect of our own minds. Sometimes, the boogeyman is real. And, that face you saw in the bathroom mirror? You weren’t imagining it. Here are one of the most popular urban legends still being told:-
Located on Lake Teshuilo in Xochimilco nr Mexico City, the island La Isla de la Munecas (The Island of the Dolls) is certainly one of the strangest haunted locations in our list. In the 1950’s, a man named Julian Santan Barrera moved to the island (despite being married with a young family).
Julian was unaware of the dark history of the area when he moved there to become a recluse. Legend says that three young girls were playing near the water in the 1920’s, when one of the girls fell in and drowned in the murky waters. Locals believed that ever since her death, the young girls’ spirit has been unable to leave the island. It soon grew quite a reputation as a haunted place, and locals wouldn’t go near it at night for fear of what they may see.
Julian claimed that as soon as he moved on the island a little girl began speaking to him. The girl told Julian how she had died, and that she was trapped on the island. He began to get the dolls for this little girl, often selling off fruit and vegetables that he had grown on the island, so that he could buy old dolls for her to play with.
Julian later told his nephew that it was becoming more difficult to appease the young girl’s thirst for these dolls, with him seemingly worried that she wanted him to join her in her watery grave. The same day he had this discussion, his nephew was returning to the island, when he found his uncle face down in the canal. His body was in the same spot where the little girl had apparently drowned seventy years before.
Today, tourists to the island often speak of the doll’s eyes following them. Others have also reported that the mutilated dolls whisper to them, especially at night. Julian’s ghost is also said to remain on the island, as well as the young girls’.

In the Venice Lagoon between Venice and Lido, sits the small island of Poveglia. Inhabited since 421, when mainlanders fled to seek refuge from the invaders, Poveglia’s population began to dwindle centuries later, and by the 14th century the island was completely abandoned. As with many small islands in Europe during the Bubonic Plague outbreak in the 14th century, the island became a quarantine colony. Many Venetians were sent here to die, their dead infected bodies being burned on giant pyres. This was also the case in 1630, when the Black Death swept through Venice.
The site was apparently used to as a mental asylum during the 1800’s, however many sources state that this simply is not the case. Stories persist though of ill treatment, and experimental procedures being carried out in building. During 1930 a doctor is believed to have committed suicide, jumping to his death from the bell tower. From the mid-20th century up until 1975 when it was closed, Poveglia hospital was used as geriatric centre.
Today the whole island is abandoned, and it’s believed that many locals dare not step foot on the island for fear of being cursed. Fisherman also refuse to fish in the area for fear of dragging up human remains.
The ghosts of the patients and victims of disease are said to haunt the island and its buildings. Voices and screams are often heard, with EVP’s often captured. Dark fleeting shadows are often witnessed, and possessions have been reported.

As soon as people step fot on the island they begin to feel an oppressive evil feeling, often departing in absolute terror.

The Walking Corpses - Toraja Village
Paranormal Tales | Popular Scary Stories | One Liners | Places
Do you believe in ghosts? Do you know what happens when you are not watching…have you ever experienced something strange and unexplainable? In the fast-paced world we live in, we don’t have much time to read thick horror books or watch movies. So there are some one liners that might keep your skin crawling because of how strange and real the events are. Even if normal ghost and ghoul tales didn’t keep you up at night, these may. So here is a one liners that will scare the crap out of you . . .
Life that does't end with death .
Indonesia province's bizarre annual ritual of digging up its dead to give them a wash, groom and dress them in new clothes.
The ritual is called Ma'nene, or The Ceremony of cleaning corpse, and this takes place in Toraja in South Sulawesi. Families dig up their relatives to freshen them up and even dead children and babies are exhumed. Bodies are then taken to the place where the died, and dragged back to the village.
According to the ancient Torajan belief system, the spirit of a dead person must return to his village of origin.
So if a person died on a journey, the family would go to the place of death and accompany the deceased back home by walking them back to the village. In the past, people were frightened to journey far, in case they died while they were away and were unable to return to their village.
The Toraja universe is divided into three parts,
each with its own cardinal direction and rites: 1) the underworld, in the
southwest, the home of the dead; 2) earth; and 3) the upperworld, to the
northeast, the home of deified ancestors. Each is presided over by its own set
of gods. Those found on earth sometimes live in particular trees, mountains and
other natural objects. There is a fear of werewolves, spirits that fly at night
and spirits that eat the stomachs of sleeping people.
According to tradition, the
Toraja believe that the dead should be properly sent off to a land called Puya
somewhere in the southwest and given enough attention to send them to the
upperworld, where defied ancestors live. Most people never make it beyond Puya,
where the dead exist a state of being not unlike the life on earth. Those that
get lost on the way to Puya and don’t make it may come back and haunt the
living so great cares taken to make sure this doesn’t happen.
Death is something that is
always on the mind of Toraja but it something that is viewed as journey one
prepares for rather tragedy. Toraja parents make every effort to make sure
their infants feet don't touch the ground, with the understanding that if the
child died young it would ascend to heaven faster.
The actual “walking” part of the dead appears to happen during the ritual of Ma ‘Nene’ (The Ceremony of Cleaning Corpses). Out of respect for their dead and afterlife, the boxes containing the dead are removed from the tombs (every few years), the corpses are removed from the boxes, and are cleaned and re-dressed. Damaged boxes are fixed or replaced. In videos I have seen the dead seem to be exhibited and paraded around, as if they they were alive.
Positioned on the balconies
of the cliffside graves where Toraja are buried are spooky-looking life-size
wooden statues called tau taus which are fully clothed and have human hair.
Effigies of the deceased who are buried behind them, they are usually carved
from jackfruit wood and every effort is made to make sure the physical details
resemble those of the deceased. The custom of making tau taus is thought to
have originated in the late 19th century. In the old days they were quite basic
and primitive -looking and stylized. Now some are quite realistic looking. The
ones made today can be quite elaborate and detailed. They are made with great
skill and capture the dead as they liked when the died rather than when they
were wee young. Not so many tau taus are visible. In recent years many have
been stolen and found there way to the international art market. Today many
Toraja keep them in their homes.
The funeral ceremonies usually take place in
two parts. The Rambu Solo (the funeral ceremony) and the Rambu Tuka (the
procession and burial. The Rambu Solo is a grisly affair in which dozens,
sometimes hundreds, of buffalos and pigs are slaughtered in the belief that the
spirit of the dead will be accepted by God. The funeral can be held in front of
the village tongkonan. Sometimes it takes place in a field, where bamboo
platforms have been set up for people to sit with the deceased presiding over
the event from a high-roofed tower. Some are held in special funeral sites
marked by megaliths.

In the fast-paced world we live in, we don’t have much time to read thick horror books or watch movies. So there are some one liners that might keep your skin crawling because of how strange and real the events are. Even if normal ghost and ghoul tales didn’t keep you up at night, these may. So here is a one liners that will scare the crap out of you . . .
Isn't it a bit shocking that Prince and Princess are living their lives in such an isolated area, where there is no light, no food, no housing, no proper shelter ?? Can you live a day without no food and no electricity, and what, when it comes to a week or a month ?? Can you even survive for a week in such a miserable conditions ??
Here, are the Prince and Princess who are dropping every day and night since 1993, I mean, seriously ????? Since 13 long years !!!! Now the very important question arises, Is their any ghost in that mahal, where two lives are struggling ??
Well, there are many of stories spread all over the world that the spirit of Begum Wilayat Mahal haunts the palace. Who was Begum Wilayat Mahal ? Was she some witch who was involved in black magic ? Or was she the one who had committed suicide out off frutration ?
Its a long, long, long ago, there was an emperor named " Wajid Ali Shah " of Oudh. It was the time when India was under the Britishers, and the emperor was deposed by Britishers. After his death, the Mahal was seized. After Britishers, the Mahal was endorsed by Indian Government. Since then, the it was an Indian Government's property till 1985.
In 1985, Begum Wilayat Mahal filled a will in court written by Wajid Ali Shah. The will was her voice saying that she and her two children were the descendants of the Mahal. She wanted her respect and their palace back. It was in 1993, that in order to have protest against Government, Begum chose the distinct way. She confined herself and her two children, with what ever they had ( some dogs and glorious jewels ) in the VIP lounge of New Delhi Railway Station. After 9 days when the doors of lounge were open by policemen, what they saw was even horrified. There was a dead body of Begum Wilayat Mahal, and the two children were sitting in grief near the remains of their mother. Begum committed suicide in depression by having the crushed diamonds.
Since then, the mahal was allotted to the only left descendants of the Malcha Mahal, they were Prince Riaz and Princess Sakina. But till then, the glory of Mahal was ruined, it was nothing else than a haunted place with no lights, no food, and no proper housing. Everything was provided by government but on one black night, some burglars intervened into the Mahal, and dogged the grave of Begum in order to have left over treasures which were buried with the corpse of Begum Wilayat Mahal.
It was then, when prince discontinued everything, and restricted everyone from coming in, with an engraved board on the main gate of Mahal, which says :
ENTRY RESTRICTED
CAUTIOUS OF HOUND DOGS
PROCLAMATION
INTRUDERS SHALL BE GUNNED DOWN
It is also said that the spirit of Begum Wilayat Mahal still haunts the area. Many people passing through the mahal had been witnessed the supernatural things happening and some have listened the mourns of ghosts.
No one is sure what is this all about, but one thing is definitely clear in our minds, that no one should travel nearby mahal. If they are ready to get hurt, or are not interested in continuing their lives, may have the courage to go there.
