"Island of the Dolls"1. Doll's Island (Isla de las Munecas), Mexico, are where these creepy little dolls are said to be possessed. The island caretaker put them up to rid off the spirit of a little girl that was visiting there and drowned. Those that have past by the dolls at night have seen them moving and whispering, enticing people to come on shore. Recently the island's caretaker, Don Julian, was found dead in the same canal that the visiting girl was found. Locals claim that his spirit now haunts the island as well. Josh Gates and his DT team flew 1500 miles south of the border to Mexico City, Mexico. After letting their hair down in the evening, they took off for the island in the morning to try and make it there before nightfall. At first Josh seeks out Hector Mendez, a local paranormal expert that has been tracking the story about the island and caretaker’s death. Some believe that voices enticed Don Julian to get out of the water, while others believe that the dolls killed him. He told them that they had to get permission to set foot on the island because it is private property. It is now owned by the caretaker's nephew Anastasio, who manages the property from the safety of a distant countryside. Like always, they have car problems, and while the others wait for the vehicle to get fixed, Josh and Jael continued on horseback. Josh and Jael meet up with Anastasio Velazquez on his farm at the edge of town. He tells them that he has seen the dolls heads move up and then move down. He told them to bring a doll to appease the spirits and put it near where the girl drowned. They ate, shopped and played then picked up the supplies they needed. They found a woman who knew exactly what they needed to bring to the island. The island is located 18 miles outside of Mexico City, so they used a boat to get to the Doll's Island. They were greeted by dolls hanging everywhere which was very creepy. They set up base camp and plotted where all the cameras will be placed, then set out to do their investigation. Josh and Jael placed the doll, candy and candles they bought near the area where the little girl drowned as an offering for her spirit. Right afterwards, they heard a splash in the water and seen it moving. They experience high EMF spikes around one of the dolls in the shed, whose eyes shut and then one eye opens after Josh got near it. They walked around where there are creepy dolls hanging everywhere. One at a time, they sat in the shed for 30 minutes at a time to see if anything would happen. While Josh was in there he heard a loud bang. Mike appeared to get most of the action. While he was sitting there he sees a dark shape outside the shed. On the base camp camera they see a white light at the same time he experiences many sounds all around the shed. He asked the spirits to speak, making themselves known, and right away he hears a noise like something was dragging across the roof. After Mike quickly leaves the shed, Josh makes a thorough sweep of the area. Behind Mike on the thermal, Josh sees what looks like a figure and then three orb type figures on the other side of the canal. They head home to LA where Mike, their audio guy, checks out the EVP's. On one he captured a voice that sounded like it said "leave". This was right before Mike heard that dragging across the roof of the shed. During Josh's EVP session in the shed, he caught a voice that also may have said "leave". He turns to Steve and Tango to look at the thermal and video evidence captured. They feel that some type of energy could be attached to the doll whose eye opened. The thermal images they caught, they felt that something with energy was there and felt that if the figure but it was free floating, then it could be considered paranormal. As for the three round heat signatures, Steve felt it could have been some sort of paranormal energy. Also, on the video camera, after Mike runs out, they captured a noise like something was trying to get in the shed like a door knob rattling. This creepy little island with massive amount of dolls all over it definitely has some paranormal and strange activity going on there.

Lusca is a giant
octopus found in the Caribbean near the remote island of Andros and lives in caves under the island in the large watery tunnels. Boat captions have told of it attacking their vessels and pull swimmer to their death. It is described as a huge monster, bigger than any known octopus, with 85 foot tentacles with enormous suction cups and a large mouth with rows of razor sharp teeth. The DT crew flew into Andros Island, Bahamas, picked up they new shirts and drove to where they can charter a boat in the tiny town of Small Hope to find a boat captain that will take them out. They had troubles finding one that wanted to aide them in their expedition and ended up chartering their own boat. They headed out to the Blue Holes to find the tunnels where the Lusca is said to live. Josh and Jael suited up to get a lay of the land and encounter many sharks that surround them. After they get back to the boat Josh goes alone in the blue hole and can see that it is massive in there. They get something on the sonar about 120 feet down the blue hole and right afterwards Josh sees something huge go pass. He heads back to the boat and they form another plan to enter through another hole entrance. The dive would require Josh to go deeper than he has ever gone. They closely monitor Josh's status as he descends further in the cave. On the sonar they are seeing strange objects while Josh notices that something large pushed its way through the tunnel. Suddenly he sees something large pass in front of him and they lose contact with him. As the team panics from losing contact with Josh, they see something moving in the water. Finally Josh surfaces then has Jael dive while the rest keep vigil on the land. On camera and on thermal they caught something huge on the surface moving very fast. He said down with marine biologist, Dr. Scott Cooper to get his opinion. He says that something that large must have plenty of food and a sufficient habitat to live in and this area does provide that. He could not conclusively say what was captured by the evidence Josh provided.

a cold blooded killer. This is the case in Child's Play where magic turns a friendly talking doll, Chucky, into a destructive murderer. The Great Gabbo, 1929, which may be the first of this genera featured a very disturbed ventriloquist with a dummy that seems to have a mind of its own. More movies followed, such as the Dead of Night, a 1949 movie about a crazy sarcastic ventriloquist, and Devil Doll, a 1965 movie with the puppet turning on its master, just to name a couple. The dummy turning on its master is also an episode in the classic show, The Twilight Zone titled, "The Dummy”, which was one of my favorites. Other movies such as Child’s Play, Shadow Puppets, and Puppet Master (1989) added to the phobia by having puppets and dolls as killers.
relatively common to experience hesitation or nerves when confronting these figures.
Trilogy of Terror is a 1975 three part television horror thriller film. The film, which starred Karen Black in the four lead roles of each chapter, including roles as twin sisters, was originally a failed pilot for a horror anthology television series. All three segments are based on unrelated short stories, with film titles being the names for the film's main character, played by Black. The third one is my favorite, giving me chills down to my bone and the fear of Tiki dolls. I wrote about the first two but the third one deserves to be watched, especially if you haven’t seen it.
