creepy tweets Isla de las Muñecas or the "Island of the Dolls" is one of the most haunted places in the world. This small island south of Mexico City is a frightening place. Perched and nailed onto the island's trees are little dolls that are said to be housed by the spirit of a little girl. According to the legend, the island's caretaker, Don Julián Santana Barrera found a girl who drowned in mysterious circumstances. The caretaker discovered a doll floating in the water, which he hung on a tree to appease the drowned girl's spirit. However, this show of respect did not work, and the drowned girl's spirit continued to haunt the caretaker, causing him to hang more and more dolls in order to temper her anger. In 2001, the caretaker's nephew came to the island to help his uncle. As they fished in the canal, Barrera, then 80, sang passionately, claiming that mermaids in the water were calling for him. The nephew left briefly, and upon his return found Barrera lifeless, face down in the canal, in the same spot where the girl was said to have drowned.

The attacks, which covered an area spanning 90 by 80 kilometres (56 by 50 mi), were said to have been committed by one or more beasts with formidable teeth and immense tails, according to contemporary eyewitnesses. Most descriptions from the period identify the beast as a striped hyena, a wolf, a dog, or a wolf-dog hybrid. The number of victims differs according to the source. A 1987 study estimated there had been 210 attacks, resulting in 113 deaths and 49 injuries; 98 of the victims killed were partly eaten. Other sources claim the animal or animals killed between 60 and 100 adults and children and injured more than 30. The beast was reported killed several times before the attacks finally stopped.

creepy tweets Creepy Knowledge @CreepyKnowledge In 1994, a BBC reporter named Tim Leach was assigned to cover a peculiar story unfolding at a school in Zimbabwe. In his report, he expressed, "I could handle war zones, but I could not handle this." Likewise, a Harvard professor of psychiatry who visited the school was also taken aback by what he witnessed. This is the account of the Ariel school UFO sighting. On September 16, 1994, 62 students from Ariel Primary School, a private school in Zimbabwe, allegedly witnessed unidentified objects descending from the sky. According to their claims, when the crafts landed, individuals dressed in black approached them and conveyed messages. The students were so startled that some of them burst into tears. The incident had a profound impact on the school community. Remarkably, students between the ages of 6 and 12 shared nearly identical stories and drew similar depictions of the objects. Despite this however, some doubt whether the children did see an alien spacecraft and say that the claims are simply a case of mass hysteria spreading. Nevertheless, even today, the Ariel school UFO sighting is widely recognized as "one of the most significant events in UFO history."
