"For all You POKEMON GO fans...YES! There is a Poke Stop at El Campo Santo Cemetery and also the Whaley House down the street. Should be Good places to catch Ghost Pokemon. (All though personally I have NOT had any Luck catching any myself yet.) Turns out Catching GHOST POKEMON is as Hard as Capturing REAL GHOST on Film." - LOL! 😉

Philosophizer Ralph Waldo Emerson said..."It is the SECRET of the world that all things Subsist and Do Not Die, but only Retire a little from sight and afterwards RETURN again. Nothing is Dead; people feign themselves Dead, and endure mock Funerals and mournful Obituaries, and there they stand Looking out of the window, Sound and Well, in some new disguise...." >This SECRET Must be TOLD to the world, and They Must Tell It, because They're Not DEAD! I know this...and I'll Prove It... - Zak Bagans

(A plaque on the wall surrounding El Campo Santo Cemetery in Old Town, San Diego, CA. In front, next to the front gate.) "Remembering the more than 20 Men, Women and Children who lie buried beneath San Diego Ave. Only Assemblyman Edward L. Greene was exhumed and placed within the new boundary of El Campo Santo Cemetery. These graves were discovered with the use of ground penetrating radar in 1993. REST IN PEACE. This plaque was placed by the Historical Shrine Foundation with funds from the San Diego Community Block Grant in 1994." (Then there is a Map showing some of the grave sites outside the cemetery wall.)

By Town (Old Town) EL CAMPO SANTO CEMETERY

El Campo Santo cemetery has a long and unfortunate history. After the rise of New San Diego and the decline of Old Town, the cemetery was no longer maintained. Just two years after the last body was buried there, a streetcar line was built through the cemetery over some existing graves. Preservationsists began their campaign in 1937 by restoring some of the gravemarkers and building a short wall around a small portion of the cemetery. At some point the streetcar line was converted into San Diego avenue, and paved over in the 1940s. The city was repeatedly petitioned to aknowlege that their were desecrated graves under the street. In 1993 the city sent a team with ground piercing radar to the sight and discovered at least 18 bodies buried beneath the street. The city first painted white crosses on the street to mark the graves, and eventually installed simple brass markers.



Haunted?

The most widely seen apparitions in El Campo Santo cemetery are an Indian or Hispanic man in 19th century clothing, and a woman also dressed in period. The man is said to float above the ground. Other times it is said that cars which are parked upon the graves have their alarms sometimes go on, even though no one is in sight of the vehicle.

Haunted Countdown to Halloween!

San Pasqual Indian Cemetery (Escondido)

In the center of a metal pipe fence stands a pepper tree surrounded by twenty-four crosses and one stone grave marker. An adobe wall once enclosed this graveyard, and in the center stood a large wooden cross with a red heart painted between the arms. Now adjacent to Highway 78, and a schoolyard, this burial ground dates back prior to the Europeans' intrusion into the San Pasqual Valley.

The settlers buried their dead in a variety of places in San Pasqual, while the Indians continued to use their traditional ground. At times bones of their ancestors would accidentally be unearthed during preparations for another burial. With two sticks, the exposed bones would be lifted out, set aside until the completion of the new burial, then replaced with the covering of the grave.
