Read Hauntings
Screaming Tree - In the suburb of Lakeside, at the end of Willow Road, there is a narrow dirt road, down this road some distance (and after passing a slaughterhouse of some sort) there is a clearing with a tree, supposedly if one blasts one's car horn three times a ghost of a girl will start screaming. Mostly this area is a hangout for dubious characters so it may not be a good idea to go alone. 2008 update -
scary place, but unlikely haunted.

- i was born and raised in Lakeside, and as a teenager i too attended the tree to see if it was true, and a few acres to the left of "the tree" is a huge cattle ranch/slaughter house. although no girl was screaming, the cattle ranch has a lot of machinery that makes noise as it runs, which sounds like metal rubbing..... which sounds like screeching. the screeching sort of sounds like screaming from a distance. if someone tries this and is so scared to begin with, they may not realize the true cause of the sounds.
- That was a prank we use to play on people. the screaming were peakocks ( the animals) well their gone last I checked and so is the screaming lady tree
- I heard about this, seeing as I live in Lakeside. I hear its a crock of poo, but I have heard about things happening on that road that do seem very real.
- Having lived in Lakeside for about 7 years - yes the owner of this site actually lives in San Diego county lol - Lakeside is rich in history and I wouldn't be surprised to find ghosts anywhere out here . Though this story seems clearly fabricated as a prank from teenagers and live stock, the area in question has an interesting history as told by the Lakeside Historians.
- I lived in Lakeside in 1969-70, in what used to be apartments next door to the old theater, upstairs. I have never heard of anything strange happening the short time I lived there.
