This episode of Hexed travels to the Island of the Dolls, a small man-made island in the canals of Xochimilco, Mexico City, where hundreds of weathered dolls, by some counts thousands, hang from the trees. </p><p><br></p><p>Hosted by Mark Houston, Hexed blends eerie storytelling with cultural history and a dose of skepticism.

The girl has never been documented. </p><p><br></p><p>Enter at your own risk, and remember to keep your curiosity alive, and your caution close.</p>","author_name":"Mark Houston"}
