Welcome to The Island of the Dolls

Welcome to the Island of the Dolls

The town of Xochimilco is located in southern Mexico City, and is known for its canals. The canals, built by the Aztecs, are much like what you would find in Venice, Italy. They provide water transport where visitors can take gondola-like boats to see the sights. Not only will you find sightseers, but there are also food vendors, artisans, and mariachi boats that travel the canals. Xochimilco is a fun and festive town, but is also home to an island – a haunted island. No visit to Xochimilco is complete without a trip to La Isla de las Muñecas, The Island of the Dolls.

David McGreavy, the Friday the 13th Killer

The Haunting of the Monte Cristo Homestead

Imagine this – it’s a typical evening, and you’re at work. Your children are home, in the care of a man who has taken care of them numerous times. He loves the children, and has always been a reliable sitter. Your husband picks you up from work, and when you get home, your house is surrounded by police. You’re not allowed to see what’s going on, instead you’re stopped and told that there’s been a murder. You go to the police station, where you learn that it was your children that had been murdered; that the man who was left to care for them killed them in such a brutal manner that you would never be allowed to even see their bodies. This happened in 1973 when Elsie and Clive Ralph left David McGreavy to care for their three young children.

The Atrocities of the Toolbox Killers

The Atrocities of the Toolbox Killers

It’s so cliché to talk about the serial killer’s van, the stereotypical “white van” used to pick up unsuspecting victims. In this story, the killers used a van, only theirs was silver-gray. Was that one tiny detail enough to give women the tiniest sense of relief when it pulled up beside them? Color of the van aside, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris still claimed their fair share of victims. Together they became known as the Toolbox Killers and are regarded to this day as having committed the most atrocious crimes.

And to top it all off, he is forever remembered for disappearing without a trace, suspected of attacking his wife, and murdering the nanny.

Michael McCormick and the McCormick Murder Farm

Michael McCormick and the McCormick Murder Farm

In the 1980’s, cell phones weren’t a thing. People used land lines, and wrote letters. Truckers had CB Radios, but those were basically fancy walkie-talkies. So when 60 year old trucker Herbert Donoho disappeared on August 30, 1983, there really wasn’t a good way to track down his whereabouts. After all, he was supposed to be heading to Wheat Ridge Colorado for lunch with friends, not in Stratton at the McCormick farm.

Into Thin Air: Where’s DeOrr Kunz Jr.?

Into Thin Air Wheres DeOrr Kunz Jr

Camping is a great way to escape the pressures of everyday life. People go camping for different reasons, some to test out and practice their survival skills, some to get away from city life. Others take camping as an opportunity to spend time with and reconnect with family in a natural environment, away from modern technology. Some go camping off the beaten path, while others prefer to stick to vetted campgrounds. When one family decided to go camping to enjoy nature and do some fishing, they didn’t expect their 2-year-old son, DeOrr Kunz Jr., to vanish into thin air.

The Sausage Ghost of Chicago

The Sausage Ghost of Chicago

While the name may sound made up, I assure you the tale is anything but. In Chicago, Illinois, on the south side of the 1700 block of West Diversey Parkway, you will find residential condominiums. But it wasn’t always that way. Once that area was home to a factory – a sausage factory to be precise, and now home to the Sausage Ghost.
