Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween my ghoulies and ghosties! I hope you are having a spookily fun (and safe!) holiday. I posted a new story below, so enjoy!

How did you celebrate this year? What did you go as? I went as  gypsy, did some palm readings and tripped some people out.

I'd love to see your Halloween costumes!

Trouble Comes Down The Road

Informant: Female/27/Korean-Portuguese Ancestry

Location: Lihue, Kauai

My sister and her husband were about to start building their new house. Before they could get started, the construction crew insisted that the land be blessed first. So since they couldn't get a priest on such short notice, they got a Hawaiian Kahuna to bless it.

Me, my sister and her husband, and the construction workers all stood and did what we were told by the Kahuna. She said, "You're at the end of a cul de sac. Since you are at the end, I suggest you plant Ti plants here because trouble comes down the road. If you don't, there will be many arguments and fights in your house."

Not too long after that I was talking to a friend of mine who lived with his sister and her boyfriend. He was telling me that lately they have been getting into a lot of fights together. I remembered what the Kahuna said, so I asked him, "Do you happen to live at the end of the road?" He said, "Yeah, actually. How did you know?"

I told him to plant some Ti leaves. Not sure if they did or not, but they no longer live in that house anyway.

Spirit Alarm Clock

Informant: Female/24/Irish American ancestry

Location: Hilo, Hawaii

My boyfriend is a Hilo local of Hawaiian heritage who works for a security company. He had to go to Kona to start work by 6:00am, so he woke up at 3:00am and left by 3:15am. We live downtown in a huge, very safe building with a lot of empty rooms across from Central fire station, but today for some  reason I locked the door as soon as he walked out. I lay back down and put on my eye mask and headphones on to help me fall back asleep.

As soon as I laid down, I felt that I was not alone. Since they weren't earplugs I could still hear everything, just slightly muffled. I could hear noises like someone was moving around the room, but I tend to sometimes have an over-active mind and didn't want to believe there was a presence with me. Somehow I drifted into a very light sleep. I rolled over onto my side facing the door when all of a sudden something slid into the bed.

It got on top of me perpendicularly and started jumping up and down on top of me crushing in between my ribcage and my hip! Three times this happened before I could speak, I was so startled. I somehow managed to yell, "Get Out of here! Get out of here!" And the pressure disappeared. I just laid still with my eye mask on waiting. I could tell it was still in the bed and it felt like it was caressing the side of my face. As soon as it stopped I lunged towards my phone, ripped off my eye mask and turned on some worship music.

I could see nothing in our tiny studio that looked out of the ordinary. I know that I wasn't dreaming because when I rolled over in bed I woke up. I told my boyfriend what happened and he said that the evening before he had been lockig up the rooms after open house and had been whistling when he felt a chill on his neck. He apologized because he probably called the spirit with his whistling!

The Child Spirit

Informant: Female/49/Japanese Ancestry

Location: Kalaheo, Kauai

We were visiting my good friend's mother's house, and we looked outside her window and noticed sheep; lambs following their mother. It was something so cute and sweet to watch so I told my husband to take a picture with his phone. He took two pictures and I took a look at it when we got home to show my daughter. 

Well to my surprise I quickly noticed this white cloudy smoke by the sheep. I zoomed in and it was a see through apparition. It looked like a little child running down the hill. In the second shot is a little faded the white cloud, and you can see that the figure moved position.You also notice that the animals are not afraid of that spirit so I feel that it is not a harmful one.

Wow!! This is the most unusual kind of scary spirit we ever captured on film! What do you see?

The Slapping Ghost

Informant: Male/22/Hawaiian - Portuguese ancestry

Location: Lihue Airport, Kauai

I was sitting across the street in the smoking area one night waiting for my ride to pick me up. I was just minding my own business smoking by myself, nobody was around at all (it was pretty late at night). Suddenly I felt something gently touch the back of my neck. I ignored it; I didn't turn around to look if anyone was there.

Maybe I should have, because two seconds later someone slapped me hard on the back of the head. I jumped up and ran across the street. I still didn't look behind me.

The Levitating Stereo

Informant: Male/22/Portuguese - Hawaiian ancestry

Location: Kapahi, Kauai

I was sleeping one night. Dead sleep, like coma kind of sleep. Suddenly I was woken up by something. Across my bed was my stand with my TV, and next to that was an entertainment center with my big stereo on it. All of a sudden all I see is a big black shadow float over my bed. It was my stereo. Something had picked it up, and it floated over me and crashed onto the ground into a million pieces.

I got up and watched TV in the living room the rest of the night.

When my dad woke up he was like, "What are you doing in here?" I point to my room and tell him to go look. He was like, "What the hell did you do?" and I said, "What did YOU guys do in your past?"

I don't sleep in that room anymore.

The Pork Vanished

Informant: Female/30’s/European mixed ancestry

Location: Tunnel of Trees, Kauai

My cousin used to own a big blue van. We all used to cruise in it all the time. This particular time I wasn’t with them, but they told me this story.

They were driving through the tunnel of trees with a couple hundred pounds of raw pork in the back of the van. They bought in bulk. It was the middle of the day. They start driving through the tunnel when their van suddenly stalls. It completely dies. There is nobody on the road; no one coming, no one going, nobody behind them and nobody in front. The turned around, and the back doors of the van are wide open. When they looked in the back, all the pork was gone.

They shut the doors and drove out of the tunnel, not seeing one car on the way.
