Secret shrine to little girl who drowned more than 50 years ago has become a creepy tourist attraction
Doll parts
suspended from trees and strung up across ramshackle buildings have
become a sinister attraction as tourists flock to a shrine created by a
Mexican artist for a little girl who drowned.
Isla
de la Munecas, the Island of Dolls, is a macabre memorial that first
caught the public's imagination when it was discovered by council
workers as they cleaned a canal south of Mexico City.
Reclusive
artist Julian Santana Barrera had been creating his creepy masterpiece
for more than 50 years after finding a doll floating in the canal just
days after a little girl's body had been fished out of the water.
