El Tomatal (Miller's Landing) ghost? stories
http://ghostspirit.tribe.net/thread/0ad60d7c-5163-44d6-9f73-...
This link is maybe a stretch but I have had a lot of weird experiences camping here in the past and will no longer stop there.
Any stories?

I have camped at El Tomatal many times over the years and have never noticed anything weird. It is one of our favorite stops on the way down, 2 years
ago we made friends with some folks at the fish camp there and they sent us packing with 10 lobsters and refused to take anything for them.

I've been to Tomatal dozens of times and love it. It is a natural place for ocean things to wash up which may account for all the marine
skeletons...next best beachcombing to Malarrimo and way way easier to get there. I have found baleen plates there even.
It is a favorite spot to hold evangeical christian revival type campouts too. It's a really terrific beach....check it out!

Have camped at El Tomatal many times since the 70's. Only 'wierd' thing that ever happened was my dune buggy disappeared into the ocean when this
huge tide came up while we were...um...asleep on the beach.
shari...next time you are beachcombing there, keep your eyes open for a Mercedes-fronted VW buggy. Approach with caution. I doubt it is haunted, but
take no chances.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Roger that roger....come to think of it...Tomatal is one of my all time favorite baja beaches and far underrated...it has so much diversity and lots
of areas to explore...great hiking in both directions...fantastic camping with protected spots you can tuck into on the dunes...deep sand...nobody
there usually...good boogie boarding...close to the highway for a quick dip if ya need one while travelling and as I mentioned outstanding beach
combing.

The El Tomatal Mystery Site (Baja's ET) was relayed to us on the old Amigos de Baja forum by Michelle ('M' on Nomad)... She sent me some photos and I
made the web page: http://vivabaja.com/et
Another poster also sent some photos when he checked out the area and they are included as well.
Baja adventure writer Graham Mackintosh also experienced the odd stuff there: car batteries going dead, sound amplification at the rock circles, other
strange things!

Do the Santerians practice their animal sacrifices on alternate weekends from the Christian Revival meeting campers?

When you go camping there take some pictures in the pitch blackness with your digital camera with flash to see if any orbs appear on camera. I did
that in Rancho San Juan de Dios and there were orbs galore. See here: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=42302#pid4638...
