Shadows on the Coast: Nena and Eric’s Eerie Encounter at Point Loma

Perched on the jagged cliffs of San Diego, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse stands as a silent sentinel over the Pacific. While thousands of tourists visit the Cabrillo National Monument for the breathtaking views, Nena and Eric arrived with a very different mission: to uncover the spirits that refuse to leave the station.

In their recent investigation, “The HAUNTED Old Point Loma Lighthouse”, the duo discovered that the beauty of the park hides some deeply unsettling secrets.


More Than Meets the Eye

The lighthouse, which first lit its lantern in 1855, was often a lonely, grueling post for keepers and their families. As Nena and Eric explored the grounds, they realized the energy of the site extends far beyond the restored living quarters.

“There is a heaviness here that you don’t feel at the visitor center,” Nena remarked during the hunt. “It feels like someone—or something—is constantly watching from the perimeter.”

What is Hiding Amongst the Bushes?

One of the most chilling moments of their trip occurred near the dense coastal scrub surrounding the lighthouse. While filming, the pair caught movement that shouldn’t have been there. Shadows seemed to detach themselves from the foliage, darting between the bushes just out of clear sight.

Was it the spirit of a former keeper keeping watch, or something more ancient tied to the land? The rustling wasn’t caused by the sea breeze; it was a deliberate, localized movement that left the investigators looking over their shoulders.

The Picket Fence Apparition

Perhaps the most “unbelievable” find of the trip happened near the white picket fence that rings the historic garden. As the camera panned, a strange, dark shape appeared to poke out from behind the fence, momentarily breaking the silhouette of the wood before vanishing.

The movement was low to the ground and unnervingly fast. It didn’t mimic the behavior of local wildlife, leading Eric to wonder if they had captured a glimpse of a “residual haunt”—a moment in time looping over and over.

The Lady in the Garden: Who is She?

Local legend often whispers about a “lady buried in the garden.” While official records focus on the keepers, Nena and Eric dug into the lore of the women who lived—and died—at the point.

  • The Mystery: Visitors have long reported seeing a woman in a Victorian-style dress tending to the plants or standing by the fence looking out to sea.
  • The Investigation: Nena felt a distinct feminine presence near the garden beds, a feeling of “waiting” that has permeated the lighthouse for over a century. Whether she is an undocumented family member or a lost soul tied to the beauty of the point, her presence was undeniable.

Final Thoughts: A San Diego Must-See

If you’re heading to Cabrillo National Monument, don’t just look at the ocean. Look at the shadows under the eaves of the lighthouse and the spaces between the fence posts. As Nena and Eric proved, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse is far from empty.
