Enter Mexico's haunted 'Island of the Dolls' if you dare: Thousands of creepy toys hang from the trees to quell the tormented screams of a ghost of a little girl who drowned there
Julian Santana Barrera retreated to a remote wooded area in Xochimilco, Mexico city to live out his life as a recluse
He discovered corpse of a young girl - and the toy doll she left behind - floating in a nearby canal when he arrived
Barrera began to hear footsteps in the night and the anguished wails of a woman after he hung the doll from a tree
He continued to hang other toy dolls from the trees in the 'chinampas' area to appease her ghost for over 50 years
His family now run the area as tourist attraction where visitors hang other dolls and claim to hear them whispering
