Santana did not clean the dolls that he took but instead hung them with the body parts that had been damaged or mutilated. Even when the doll arrives in good condition, the wind immediately turns it into a bad, damaged doll. Changes in dolls from time to time make it a scary doll gallery, with various forms of scary dolls.

Apart from the ravages of the time, the doll not only damaged its body, it also faded its way, deformed its face and altered its facial aura to resemble that of someone who is sick or pale stale like a ghost. This condition invites fear for anyone who comes to the doll island.
