The Punchbowl Ghost
The Punchbowl Ghost
September 28, 1908 - the house owned by the Boyd family is located on the corner of ‘Auwaiolimu and Lusitana Streets. Renting the house is the Pecarick family and they’re having problems.
Imagine combing your hair and the mirror flips over. Imagine holding a stick of kindling and having it slapped out of your hand. Imagine out of thin air, rocks coming through your house and embedding themselves in the side of your oven. Imagine these things happening and you have no control over them.
Thirteen-year-old Esperanza Gonsalves worked as a servant for the Pecarick family. It began to seem as if the strange activity was centered around this girl. Soon, ghost hunters, priests, and detectives began to arrive. At one point, around 200 people gathered around the home to see what might happen.
Young Esperanza swears she had nothing to do with the activity in the house. Eventually, the Boyds suggested that the family move out. The Pecaricks said that the house itself was haunted before they arrived and the girl was innocent. Either way, the family moved and nothing more was heard of the haunted Punchbowl house.
