The so-called Island of the Dolls, located in the canal system in Xochimilco, Mexico. An artist spent some years decorating the island with dolls, so that they are in everything, and are seen staring back at you fron the trees and bushes, and the water. I asked our hired boat pilot if he ever goes past the island at night, to which he said "Absolutamente NO!" = absolutely NOT! He explained that at night, you can hear the dolls whispering to each other. True story.
