It is perhaps one of the most well-known urban legends of hawaii. Its story has spanned decades. Every generation, the hauntings at this place resurface and become an urban legend all over again.

This building was at first just called, “the Federal building” as it housed the US Post Office, Customhouse and Courthouse. Today, its official name is the King David Kalakaua building.

Haleko Road in Lihue is barely more than half a mile and is a quick shortcut from Rice Street to the Kukui Grove area.

In Niumalu, there is 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 Wahiawa, near Hanapepe, and were passed hand over hand by the Menehune.

It’s September 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 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.

Some would hear the grand piano playing well after midnight and, on many occasions, lights would turn on & off, strange noises were heard, tools would disappear and then reappear elsewhere, the contents of handbags were switched or dumped on the ground. All of these were attributed to ghostly hands. It's said that Royal ghostly appearances are still accepted as a fact of priory life and tradition.
