HALLOWEEN THEMED!

“Real Dead Bones…Dolls Hangin’ ‘Round …& Dead But Still Bumpy!’”

Disneyland’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride originally featured real human remains, which were acquired through UCLA.  The ride was a big investment, and they thought the fake skeletons of the time were “just too unconvincing.”….They’ve since replaced all the actual bones with models . . . or so they say.

Mexico’s “Island of the Dolls” . . . a.k.a. “La Isla de las Muñecas” . . . is supposedly one of the most haunted places on Earth. Legend has it the island’s caretaker found a girl who drowned in mysterious circumstances.  The next day, he discovered a doll floating in the water, and he hung it from a tree.  The young girl’s spirit haunted the island, and to appease her, the caretaker kept hanging dolls from the trees . . . until his death in 2001. 

Dead bodies can get goosebumps.  In the living, goosebumps are anervous system reaction to external stimuli.  But in the dead, they’re part of rigor mortis.
