San Diego Poltergeist

 
Let's start by journeying back to one of my favorite deathstinations.
 
This is Pioneer Park of San Diego, CA. From the road, this looks like a normal park... but looks can be deceiving. Between the years of 1875 and 1960, Pioneer Park was better know as Calvary Cemetery. In 1968, Calvary Cemetery was declared a public nuisance after it had been greatly neglected by the city. Two years later, the city of San Diego evicted the headstones so that Calvary Cemetery could become Pioneer Park. You read that correctly! Only the headstones were removed, leaving behind the nearly 4,000 human remains interred below. If you walk to the back of Pioneer Park you will find this wall of headstones. These headstones are the only link to the history buried below.
