Legend has it that Don Julián Santana Barrera found a doll floating in the canal the day after a young girl drowned. He hung the doll in her memory. He believed the girl’s spirit haunted the island, so Barrera hung more dolls to appease her until over 4,000 dolls adorned the island. Did the creepy decorations work? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Episode 55 - Doppelgängers
In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the eerie phenomenon of doppelgängers — mysterious doubles that look exactly like us, but aren't us. Are they omens of death, astral projections, or something even more sinister? From ancient folklore to modern-day encounters, we unravel real stories of people who’ve come face to face with these uncanny twins. Join us as we explore the dark mirror world of doppelgängers — where reality blurs and not everything is as it seems.
