We'll let you decide, but be forewarned: Should you choose to strike out on your own, you are your own keeper. Meaning, what we note here are facts, legends, and observations, it is not a tourist’s guidebook or study manual of where to find “supernatural” occurrences. The places mentioned here, like many places in Hawai‘i, are very much like people; some will welcome you, some will not. To venture out alone is purely at your own risk.

The Faceless Ghost - Noppera-Bō
In Japan, the Noppera-bo is a yokai, a supernatural being that resembles a human but is marked by its eerie absence of facial features. Known for startling the living, these faceless apparitions are typically benign, though their appearance is deeply unsettling. Legends often describe the Noppera-bo as initially appearing as an ordinary person before their facial features vanish, leaving only a blank, featureless expanse where their face should be. This ghostly presence has reportedly been spotted in several places across Hawai‘i, including the Waiakea Villas in Hilo, an intermediate school in Kailua, and the Moanalua school campus. One of the most notorious sightings occurred in May 1959 at a school in Palolo, and of course, at the Waialae Drive-in.
