Just south of Mexico City, between the canals of Xochimico you can find a small island with a sad background which never intended to be a tourist destination. The island is known as Isla de las Munecas (Island of the Dolls).
It is dedicated to the lost soul of a poor girl who met her fate too soon in strange circumstances.
The area has thousands of people, but this small island is home to hundreds of terrifying dolls. Their severed limbs, decapitated heads, and blank eyes adorn trees.
Dolls are threatening, even in the bright light of midday, but in the dark, they are particularly disturbing.

It is said that a girl was found drowned in mysterious circumstances many years ago on this island and that the dolls are possessed by her spirit.
Local legend says that the dolls move their heads and arms and even opened their eyes.
Some witnesses claim they had heard the dolls whispering to each other, while others who were on a boat near the island said the dolls lured them to come down to the island.
Of course these witnesses are exaggerating and the island is in no way possessed but the truth is that the Isla de las Munecas is a very creepy place that marks the casual visitor.
Spooky Story, Ain't It?

Have you heard about the Japanese runner who took 54 years to finish a marathon?

To be precise, 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes and 20.3 seconds was how long it took Shiso Kanakuri to finish the race. He was one of just two to represent Japan the first time it took part in the Olympic Games, in Stockholm(1912). On May 16, 1912 they departed for Stockholm from Japan. Lack of experience was not the only thing working against the Japanese runners. There was also the fact of the 10 days to be spent on the Trans-Siberian Railway, when opportunities to train would be at a minimum.

The day of the Stockholm marathon, July 14, 1912, was a scorcher. Somewhere around the 27-km mark, Kanakuri collapsed, probably from hyperthermia. It is believed he briefly lost consciousness before being taken to the house of local residents who assisted him. The Japanese runner was likely too dispirited by his failure to worry about filling in the proper paperwork and he didn’t notify the event officials. They duly listed him as “missing". On his return to Japan, he immediately began preparing for the Berlin Olympics, which were due to be held in 1916.

In 1967, Kanakuri received an odd invitation. The Swedish National Olympic Committee wanted him to return to Stockholm to participate in the 55th anniversary celebrations of the 1912 Olympics. Upon his arrival in the Scandinavian country he was informed that he had become known there as “the missing marathoner” — the man who had vanished without a trace all the way back in 1912. Kanakuri was asked to “finish” the race and his time was promptly read out — 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes and 20.3 seconds.
