The legend: Don Julian Santana Barrera, caretaker of the island, found a little girl drowned and was not able to save her. Shortly thereafter he found a floating doll, assuming it was hers, and hung it to a tree out of respect. Being haunted by her spirit, Julian hung more dolls in an attempt to please her spirit. He became possessed and continued to hang dolls over the entire island. until his death, drowned in the same spot where he found the girl.

El Museo de las Momias
The Mummies of Guanajuato are a number of mummified bodies interred during a cholera outbreak around Guanajuato, Mexico in 1833. The bodies have been disinterred between 1870-1858. During that time, a local tax was in place requiring a fee to be paid for "perpetual" burial. Some bodies for which the tax was not paid for were stored in a nearby building. By the 1900 the mummies began attracting local tourists and cemetery workers started charging people to view them.
