My Bucket ListBy: Sara Ann Robinson

Island of the Dolls• 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 moved their heads and arms and even opened their eyes.

• Some witnesses claim that they heard the dolls whispering to each other, while others who were on a boat near the island said that the dolls lured them to come down to the island.

• It is dedicated to the loss of a poor girl who met her fate too soon under strange circumstances.

Island of the Dolls• The Island of the Dolls was first founded 50 years

ago, which is when the dolls were first hung on trees.

• Don Julian Santana Barrera, the caretaker of the island, drowned in the same place that the other mysterious girl did.

Paris, France• The history of Paris can be traced back to a Gallic

tribe known as the Parisii.• Paris further developed into a center of art,

medicine, science, fashion, tourism, high culture and finance, becoming one of the world’s most influential global cities.

• Paris is the capital of France.• The main reason why people travel to Paris is to

see the Eiffel Tower.

The Aokigahara Suicide Forest• Each year the authorities remove over 100 bodies

which are found hanging at the country’s suicide hotspot, but others can lie there undiscovered for several years.

• The Suicide Forest is in Japan.• If you ever visit Suicide Forest, you may find

clothing, shoes, skeletons, empty pill bottles, or diaries laying all over the ground.

• Japan has more than 30,00o suicides per year, one of the highest rates among the industrialized nations.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum• The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum was once a high

school but was taken over and turned into a prison.

• This place soon turned into one of the largest center of detention and torture in Cambodia.

• People that were tortured were always photographed, before and sometimes after being tortured.

Athens Lunatic Asylum• The Athens Lunatic Asylum was founded in 1868

in Ohio.• The Ridges, formally called the Athens Lunatic

Asylum, was a mental hospital operated in Athens, Ohio from 1874 until 1993.

• This is Ohio’s most creepiest and insane asylum, which has a permanent “corpse” stain.
