Do you love dolls? YES, come to Mexico where a world of dolls lies and it’s strange because the dolls ain’t cute, they are scary instead. What’s scariest is the story behind the islands.

Don Julian Santana Barrera was the owner of the island situated near the Estadio Azteca football stadium in Mexico. Long ago, a girl fell into the canal and died. Don found a doll in the waters and assumed that girl was holding the doll while she drowned in the canal.

He hung the doll to a tree assuming it would keep the girl’s spirit away from the island. Don died at the same place in 2001. Since then, tourists used to hang dolls to pay tribute to Don and continue his superstitions.

The view is scary as hundred of dolls are hung on trees in damaged condition. So, please don’t take your kids on your trip to Island of the dolls. There’s a museum as well where tourists can read more about the story of Island of the Dolls.

Don’t get shocked by its name, Turkey actually has a dedicated museum where you will find every type of hair strand hanging from the ceiling and walls.

The museum was built by Galip, a potter, who was very sad when his friend Avanos had to leave the country. She cut few strands of her hair and gave it to Galip as a souvenir. Many women visited Galip’s shop after Avanos continued her tradition along with their complete address mentioned on a piece of paper that they used to hang along with the hair.

Today, the hair museum has more than 16,000 hair samples donated by women tourists across the world.

Where do the dead bodies go? Cemetery. It’s a graveyard where the dead bodies are buried. But, Paris was forced to bury dead bodies into the tunnel due to shortage of cemeteries during the 17th century. A better place was needed as the remaining dead bodies started stinking the city, tunnels opted as the perfect cemetery.

So, the bones, skulls, and remaining from the cemeteries were shifted to the tunnels. Around 6-7 million remaining dead people were transferred that took almost 12 years to create catacombs.

Today, the catacombs of Paris are the biggest tourist attractions and people across the world come here to explore the centuries-old cemeteries.

Europe’s Stonehenge, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and UNESCO world heritage site, is still the biggest attraction among tourists. But, a similar architecture is built by artist Jim Reinders in Nebraska.

However, there are no stones or rocks, 39 cars are used instead to create the 96 ft round henge. It was built as a memorial to Jim’s father. The place is now called the Car Art Reserve and served as a great location for the movies and commercials.
