Grandpa Castle

Informant: Female/28/Mexican-Filipino ancestry
Location: Hanama'ulu, Kauai

My sister told me something weird today. She said she and the two girls were at home in the living room, when my niece, the youngest one, got really scared and ran to the bedroom. My sister followed her and asked her what was wrong. She said, "I'm scared." My sister asked her why, and she said, in her limited two-year-old vocabulary, "Grandpa castle."

Our grandpa passed away a few months ago. His last name was Castillo, Spanish for "castle."
