According to Legend, the little girl had drowned to unknow reasons but her dolls had rose to the surface again. A lone farmer took this seriously and hung the doll to please her spirit. He found new dolls and hung them up too. Local legend says that the dolls move their hands and have to occasional blink. Possibly being possessed by the little girl's spirit. The farmer himself drowned to unknown reasons years later. Some say he haunts the island as well now.
The small island is now covered with dolls and quite a tourist attraction. Visitors occasionally bring thier own dolls to hang up and please the haunting spirit. Click here to book your tour of the toy island
