Old Point Loma Lighthouse
Now one of the highlights of Cabrillo National Monument at the tip of Point Loma, this lighthouse has a specious reputation as being haunted. The structure served as San Diego’s first lighthouse for a mere 36 years before the heavy fog common to the site necessitated a move to lower ground. The fact that the lighthouse only had one keeper – Captain Robert Decatur Israel – who enjoyed a happy and trauma-free family life there seems to do little to quell the rumors of apparitions. Some diehards claim the ghost is that of Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo himself, who died nowhere near the lighthouse.

About the Site
After running a public group for a few years, I decided to call it quits and focus on research and writing. Supernatural San Diego is my attempt to correct some of the worst untruths about San Diego ghosts and give you guys a chance to see photos of the sites before planning an investigation.
I've deliberately gone with a brighter, daylight approach - I was getting a little bored with everyone else's black background and clip-art ghosties. Hope that's OK with you!
