A Ghost at the Menehune Fishpond
A Ghost at the Menehune Fishpond
In Niumalu, there is a dam built across a large bend in the Hule’ia River. It is a nine hundred yard long dirt levee faced with stone. It is said that the rocks used for the facing came from the plains of Wahiawa, near Hanapepe, and were passed hand-over-hand by the Menehune.
One night, two young men decide that they want to test out their brand new paintball guns. They drove out to a quiet road and parked their car at a lookout. The boys got out of their vehicle and start shooting paintballs at the sign when suddenly after only a few seconds, the seal on the older brother’s gun broke. He sat in his car and attempted to fix the seal. The younger brother turned back to the sign and began to fire his paintballs when, after only a few shots, the seal on his gun also burst. He also got back into the car to attempt to repair his gun.
In the passenger’s seat, the younger brother looked up and saw, in front of the car coming toward them, a Hawaiian woman dressed in white with long, long black hair flowing behind her.
He began to freak out and he started hitting his brother’s arm but the older brother is focused on fixing his paintball gun, he was not paying attention. The Hawaiian woman didn’t stop, she kept coming closer and closer to the vehicle.
Finally, the younger brother yelled, “HOI!”
And the older brother looked up and said, “WHAT!?”
Then he looked in front of him and the ghost of this woman was coming right up to the car, right through the hood.
She was about to approach the windshield of the car and the two brothers were screaming bloody murder...
The older brother finally gets the key into the ignition and it was taking a while to turn over. The brothers were screaming and as soon as the woman got close enough and it seemed as if she was going to come right through the window, the car started and they took off into the night.
This happened at a place called Alakoko. You might know it better as the Menehune Fishpond.
