I hope you enjoy this chilling story. Your comments are welcome and much appreciated. Thank you!

The images I found on Bing are so spooky looking. I can imagine how Julian's life must have been like living on that island. I provided a link to the images at the end of my article, so you can see them. Enjoy!

Some of those dolls are really cute. I would love to crochet some cute outfits for them.

Thanks for this story, Phyllis. Julian may have been troubled but he had a kind soul. I wonder how many dolls are still on the island....

Thanks, Debbie. I am glad you enjoyed the article. From what I found out during research, people still stop by the island and leave dolls there.

My son has visited that area and said it is a fascinating place. He was very intrigued by the islands and especially Julian's island.
