Individual Dolls Are Sort Of OK,

but when there are lots of them,

like these when we visited London, and towards the end of our day out we visited Pollock's Toy Museum, in one of the rooms there was a display of dolls, pictured above, which we both found sort of unnerving, they looked just like in the blink of an eye they could become alive, scary, 

even more so when they are dismembered as they are on the outside of a house like this one in Avenida Iztacalco 9 in Mexico City, it all started with a short TikTok video shared by user Fernando Mata, who runs a segment called “Weird Things on Google Maps”, where he gradually zooms in on strange things found on the popular platform. In episode three of his series, he featured Avenida Iztacalco 9, an address in Mexico City where a creepy-looking building is supposedly located. With dozens of old and dismembered dolls hanging on its facade and on the fence around the building, it’s not hard to understand why warnings like “Do not search for Avenida Iztacalco 9 on Google Maps before going to bed!” went viral on Twitter and Facebook, photographs Google Maps,

the building at Avenida Iztacalco 9 has creepy dolls and doll part hanging on its facade, as well as on top of the fence and gate surrounding it, it’s definitely not the kind of place you would like to pass by alone, at night, but why the dolls?

 it turns out the answer to the burning question makes a lot of sense, Avenida Iztacalco 9 is the address of a small esoterics shop, and the creepy dolls are nothing but an ingenious advertisement to attract those dealing in the occult, well as a advertising gimmick it certainly worked!
