Doll Island or Isla de las Munecas in Xochimico, Mexico is considered to be one of the most haunted locations in the world. The hundreds of dolls hanging around the island are said to whisper, blink and even move. Not to mention all the other activity of this creepy ass island.

The story begins when the caretaker of the island Don Julian Santana Barrera found a little girl drowned on the banks of the island. He tried to save her life but failed, she was dead for to long. A short while after a doll came floating up onto the banks.

He took it that this doll was the little girls and had fell into the water around the same time. So he hung it from a tree in an act of respect for the little girls spirit. He soon realised that the girls spirit had remained there with him. But she was violent and he was often scared, but he never fled the island.

Don Julian Santana Barrera

So Don Julian began to hang more and more dolls to appease her but the activity only became more brutal. He thought he was attracting the spirits of more little girls who had lost there life in these canals. His close friends said he changed alot in these years, as if he was driven by some unseen force. Apparently he was marred by the fact he got not save her.

Don Julian Died in 2001 and his spirit has been seen. He stated that the dolls told him to walk into the water but he did not want to go. I think he knew what was on this island but as in other demonically haunted locations people become attached and do not want to leave.

However there has been some controversy on whether or not Don Julian even did find a little girl on the banks, or whether is is something a whole lot darker having this effect on him. Its not like we haven’t heard of other haunted dolls, and they are never good things.

Some say they hear the dolls whispering to each other, others say the dolls have lured them in when passing on a boat. Of course these can easily be exaggeration but there is no doubt that there are things here.

Stories of people having terrible nightmares after leaving the island became a common occurrence after Don Julian’s death. People began to hear more prominent whispers, or where being scratched and genuinely terrified.

All of this occurred after Don Julian’s family turned this island into a tourist destination. Turning a place with an evil presence or presences into a novelty never seems to go well.

The first doll he ever collected is still here. Perhaps another piece of evidence that this is another girl was the possessive nature in which Don Julian cared for the dolls. He must have almost lost his mind.

Don Julians First Doll

So the dolls are heard screaming, crying and many said they have seen something following them.

Enter The Ghost Adventures Crew

But they didn’t just come onto the island with a couple of evp recorders and a full spectrum camera, they brought one the most haunted dolls int he world along. Harold. The evidence they got is really quite amazing.

Check out the video below, the dolls dont even have batteries !!!!

Or check out the full episode ;

If you watched it, youll know some pretty serious shizz went down. Fires starting of there own accord, small bruises on Zaks arm that look like babies fingers. We cant help but to think if this was Harold or the dolls on the island.

So one guy went one step further ! He got Harold and asked all the questions we where thinking !

So there we have it Doll Island, one of the worlds most haunted locations. Or is it ?

Any questions you guys have feel free to ask below and we will be posting out experience on this awesome island soon.

Heres some more pictures of the place.

In the paranormal world we hear all kinds of weird stories. Some of them just to nuts to believe. A little like the Doppelganger, but when there are literally hundreds of stories about these strange things. It becomes hard to ignore.

Doppelganger officially is the identical unrelated version of a living person. Apparently we all have one. But there have been strange reports of people seeing themselves walking around. Or a family member seeing them in a certain part of the building when they where never there.

Nicolas Cage And his doppelganger from the civil war era !

When a Doppelganger comes according to folklore it brings death. They have been sad to follow the original person causing them to go mad. Or they show themselves and harm someone you care about etc…..

Nuts right ? Well try telling Mr Abraham Lincoln or Queen Elizabeth I that. Both reported being terrorized by these evil things !

Lincoln saw a ghostly pale image of himself in the white house. His wife was horrified she knew they brought bad look. Queen Elizabeth told those close that she would often see herself lying on the bed as if she was dead. Personally i wouldn’t think these two people would make these things up, but that´s up to you.

Doppelganger

So just a myth ? If you look a little bit closer at the stories told all of them obviously revolve around mimicry. If you have been to some of the more insane haunted locations like Bobby Maccy´s Music World or Leap Castle you might have experienced this yourself.

Demonic ghosty´s are well known to mimic there victims in appearance or more commonly in voice, shouting out or whispering in exactly the same voice as a person present.

So do this bring to light a situation said to be superstition. Again up to you we are just here to report 😉

The discovery of Mitzi The Murdered Iceman in 1991 should have been something of a revaluation. But the discovery of this incredibly preserved little guy has had nothing but dire consequence. Surrounded with death and mystery coming into contact with Otzi has terrified even the most logical of men and for good reason.

September 1991, two German tourists Helmut and Erika Simon are hiking through the Otztal Alps when they came across what looked like a torso face down in the melted snow.

Thinking they had found the remains of a fellow mountaineer they hurried to call the police. It took 2 weeks to fully excavate Otzi, him and a number of cloths and tools.

In the past these finds have been historical and relatively easy. Dig up corpse, study for a while, put on display in a glass case, simple. However little did Helmut or his sister know they would be in the center of a series of paranormal events all caused by this ancient discovery.

Otzi as he was found by the hiking siblings.

Helmut himself was the 4th victim of Otzis curse. Going missing 2004 only to be found face down in a Austrian ravine after falling 300ft from a peak.

The first victim however was a forensic pathologist who was the first to touch Otzi with bare skin died in a car crash. Experts say it looked like he just had swerved purposely into the colliding object.

A number of deaths followed in Otzi´s wake. Some more gruesome. But ofcourse enter the critics.

Otzi after being placed in the laboratory.

So speculation around this little frozen guy that he is the 3000 year old equivalent of JZ. The media, scientists, skeptics all laughed after the proposal that Otzi carried a death bringing curse.

But what happens when you bring up some more historic corpse excavations that have had similar circumstances.

The Pharaoh Tutankhamen for instance. Following his discovery the entire team died. Its easy enough to peace together ancient king of an ancient culture known for its black magic and protective of there corpse and possessions even after death. Why wouldn’t they carry some sort of curse.

But then why would this nomad carry a curse ? He obviously died from a trip or from the weather conditions in a time where a common cold could kill you.

Where’s this nomads gonads!?

Turns out after alot of study that Otzi had a wound from an arrowhead in his back and he was also missing what some would say is the most crucial part of his manhood ( his nuts ).

Of course murder is on the cards. Shot in the back then buried in a trench by the murderer. However during this time period and in this region it was a normal practice to sacrifice a person to the mountain gods and removing there testicles was the defining factor some historical experts. He was also found buried with a copper axe thought to be the very tool used to part Otzi from his danglers.

The objects found with Otzi

We see what happens following murder and even more so with sacrifice. Locations with a history of sacrifice such as The Ancient Ramm Inn turn out to be among the haunted in the world. Or objects such as Ed Geins Cauldron that have been part of a murder or sacrificial ritual are always mysteriously surrounded with death.

So it wouldn’t seem to different to other such cases and with the same results. Of course circumstance is circumstance and this may never be really proven. But if you dont believe it why dont you try tickling Otzi although i´m not to sure he would laugh.

How Otzi looked in life.

Builders See Naked Figure In Haunted Basement

August 29, 2016

So we have two builders renovating an old creepy prison house. In a typical fashion they dare each other to go down into the black basement. The one who actually went down there still regrets it to this day. But lucky enough for us he had a camera.

When the two men picked up an easy renovation job in an old derby house, they thought nothing for its haunted reputation. They would hear bumps and bangs, see flickering lights or hovering mists. In short all of the standard haunted location activity.

But as any two lads would they started to mess around. Daring eachother to go and spend time down in the basement, which seemed to be the most active.

“See how long you can stay down there for,” one contractor, Tom, says to the other.

“Ahh… no!” is the immediate response.

Well eventually the softer one gave in. He ended up in the basement and lasted a whole 30 seconds ! Armed with his phone in his hand he begins to try and make light in the dark. That is defiantly a move he regrets.

Naked thing caught on camera

Tom posted the video online recently, sharing the footage, trying to find an answer.

“On our dinner break we decided it would be a great idea to make a video of us (well my friend) venturing into the cellar, or basement for the Americans. My friend is the one filming it,” he told Reddit. “Now he is ALWAYS playing practical jokes on people, but when he came running up the stairs he was white as a ghost. All he did when he stopped filming was replay this video…”

The clip starts as many other “paranormal” videos on the internet do, with fluttering orbs (just dust) and spooky mist (probably breath, or the other guys secondhand smoke), and then it he sees it in the corner and darts upstairs.

It wouldn’t have been uncommon to see naked people in these old cells during the time it was an operational prison. Old prisons in general are among the most haunted buildings in the world as a direct result of the endless pain and suffering.

“I am as skeptical as the rest when it comes to this stuff ,” Tom said. “But when you are a witness of something like this yourself, it’s safe to say your mind soon changes!”

A Lot of people quickly had an opinion on the video. Some speculated that it was simply a vagrant or they had set it up. Other armchair analysts even found what they believe to be another bystander in the clip, shrouded in a dark cloak.

Fair enough it could have been someone they know. But if you are a good judge of character you can see these are just two normal blokes and if they are acting they easily out do Tom Hanks or Nicolas Cage ( time for a career change ? )

Or this could easily be a homeless man, who incidentally chooses a reputedly haunted building, sits down there stark naked all day without even so much as a sneeze…..

I think we are to take the lads on there word, and thank tom for uploading this rather terrifying video.

Anyone who has ever googled the word haunted would have come across the Dibbuk Box at some point. Considered the world’s most haunted item. So surrounded by suspicious deaths and intense paranormal activity that there was even a movie made about it! Not a terrible one either.

The origins come from 1930´s Poland, war torn and riddled with poverty all that’s to WWII. A young girl Sophie and an older girl Havela, both thought it would be a bit of fun to make an ouija board and see if they could contact the dead.

They brought something into the world that absolutely terrorized there lives. Havela sealed it into a little wine cabinet now known as the Dibbuk Box. After a lot of research, we found something out. Something that might explain a lot.

.Inside the Dibbuk Box

Inside the Dibbuk Box, we find; two 1920’s pennies, a small loch of blonde hair, a stone slab inscribed ” Shalom “, a small wine goblet, a dried rose and a four legged candle holder.

So it’s all good to see whats inside the Dibbuk box, what why are they there !?

Inside The Dibbuk Box: The Pennies

Let’s start with the two pennies. 1 US wheat penny 1925 & 1 US wheat penny 1928. Both made from 100% copper.

Throughout history all over the world, copper has been used to fight demonic forces and witchcraft. Also to protect. For hundreds, possibly thousands of years villagers would actually wear copper amulets and rings to ward off witches and ” Devil Himself ” ( said in a thick Cornish accent ). It is also dotted within The Bible, The Quran, and other ancient religious texts. Used again working against evil!

.1925 Us wheat penny

So we can be sure that Havel did not place those pure copper pennies in there by accident! She did this o secure the Dibbuk inside the box and make it weaker.

Inside The Dibbuk Box: The Lock of Hair

Also inside this devious little wine cabinet we find a small, blonde lock of hair. But we have no idea just who´s hair it is!

But we did find that human hair is actually an essential part in Hoodoo, Voodoo, Witchcraft and Satanic Rituals. We have all seen the Blair witch project with those hairy little dolls hanging from the trees.

Not only that we find it in a lot of other different Dibbuk Boxes!

Human Hair used in these dark arts are generally meant to work against people. Causing maybe sickness, bad luck, and even death! But maybe there’s something else to this.

Perhaps as part of this ritual, you have to pay a price to seal what you summoned and by putting a part of yourself into the box it affects you but seals the demonic force.

But that is just an educated guess. Perhaps Dibbuk Boxes aren’t even meant to seal ” Dibbuk’s ” At all!!

Inside the Dibbuk Box: Inscribed Stone Tablet

The Small Stone Slab inscribed with the Hebraic word for Shalom. This is quite a simple one really.

Shalom means Peace. Since a Dibbuk from the Jewish religion, it makes sense that she would use inscriptions from the Torah. Using holy words to keep the demon at bay. We See it all the time in Christian and Muslim Cultures.

A closer look at the front and back.

Also Sophia the longest owner of the box to the date requested to be buried with the box, just before she died at 102. But her family thought better of it and decided to sell it on eBay ( good choice, we thank you ). So quite simply stone lasts a lot longer than paper. I’m sure she wanted, whatever she but within the Dibbuk Box to last.

Inside The Dibbuk Box: Zee Wine Goblet

The little brass wine goblet inside the box is somewhat a mystery. There are wine goblets again used throughout history in bloody rituals. However, they are normally full…..

Doing some digging, however, we find out that the kiddush cup is a ceremonial wine goblet in the Jewish religion. Although they are usually used in wedding ceremonies. It is meant to bring good health and prosperity. So something embedded in Havelas faith and made up of positive energy.

Traditional Kiddush Cup

However, these little cups are usually made up of silver and gold. Obviously brass would be a standard choice during WWII Poland as there was no money.

But maybe it was intentional brass consists mainly of copper and a little-added zinc. If you read further up you’ll know that copper is used to ward off evil things!

Inside the Dibbuk Box: The Dried Rose

We know that Havela placed a Dried Rose inside of the Dibbuk Box. We all associate with roses with things like love, romance, beauty, and justice. However, the oil from the rose is used for something else.

It is actually one of the most common substances used in Magick. It supposedly protects from dark and demonic forces.

Yup this is rose bath oil. Nothing like Demonic fighting bubbles

In ancient Hebraic and Islamic texts, we see the symbol of the rose also means union with divinity. However, there are those who worship demons as such divinity. I wonder which side Havanah and Sophie were on.

Or if they swapped sides after realizing just how messed up it can get.

Inside the Dibbuk Box: The Candle Holder

Candle holders are one of the most iconic symbols in Jewish history. Predominantly the 8 stemmed candle lit at Hanukkah.

However, the only single stemmed candle that stands out in the Jewish religion is that of the Shabbat.

A closer look inside the Dibbuk Box

The Shabbat is traditionally lit on a Friday evening to welcome the weekend and rest.

It is a symbol of peace and a light in the darkness

The Truth of the Dibbuk Box

So we have two young girls messing with an Ouija board in a place and time plagued with poverty, death, fear, and sadness. An absolute field day for anything demonic.

The theory stands today that the Dibbuk box holds and imprisons an old Demon. ” Dibbuk” in Jewish, meaning demon.

However, with the evidence provided, we can make an educated guess. We think that Sophie and Havela were scared and tried numerous times to get rid of it or seal it.

They then figured out that it is close to impossible and settling for something that would, in a way calm it. Make it less powerful.

We think this because the majority of the items are for protection and peace. It even has the stone slab with the words peace clearly inscribed.

In later years Sophie kept it in her sewing room and insisted that it was ignored at all times. So she took on the problem herself, not just that either. She kept it until she was 103 and even tried to be buried with it!

The Dibbuk Box today is kept in a military box buried somewhere in land owned by a Jason Haxton. He refuses to take it out and I’m sure you understand by now just why.

So just remember if you’re ever out buying antiques or at some junk sale and you see a rather attractive little wine box and think ” hmm that would be a fine place to store the Chardonnay”. Just Buy A Wine Rack Instead and pray to god you haven’t just got a Dibbuk Rack
