Nagoro doll village Japan: Japan’s Nagoro Village is considered one of the scariest places in the world. Here, dead or long missing people have been replaced by scarecrow style dolls, making the entire village look like something out of a horror movie. Looks like a setting. According to the website Travellocal, Nagoro Village is reportedly one of the ‘most haunted’ places.
The whole village is full of dolls: According to the DailyStar report, the village is completely filled with dolls, which have taken the place of the humans who once lived here. These dolls will be seen working in the fields, sitting at school tables or going to shops. Most of the inhabitants of Nagaros are scarecrow-style dolls. This place is also known as ‘Cursed Village’.
The Nagoro Doll Village in Shikoku, Japan is populated with 350 life-sized dolls. In the early 2000s, Tsukimi Ayano returned to the village to look after her father, & found it mostly deserted. So she made dolls to replace the townsfolk who died or moved away. #WyrdWednesday pic.twitter.com/NpXYkbcnIg

Why are there so many dolls in the village?
Nagoro doll village History: The number of dolls in the village is more than 10 times that of living residents. When Tsukimi Ayano came to the village, only 30 people lived in the village, so she decided to fill the empty space with dolls. Although he did not create the dolls to be scary, it creates a scary atmosphere in the village. Ayano has kept so many dolls in the village to deal with loneliness. The doll is called ‘Kakashi’ in Japanese.
In the village of Nagoro on the Japanese island of Shikoku, scarecrows outnumber human residents by 10 to 1.
This is down to Tsukimi Ayan – a crafts hobbyist who, on returning to the increasingly deserted village, began to create these memorial-like stand-ins.#WyrdWednesday pic.twitter.com/v3use2VLTu— Polis Loizou (mainly on Bluesky now) (@PolisLoizou) February 9, 2022
