Learn about some of the most haunted places and subjects in Hawai‘i through Hawaiian legends and oral traditions, historical accounts, newspaper articles, and true personal ghost stories.

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 Mo‘o at Haunted Kipu Falls
So many people have been injured and too many have died for the thrill of playing in that secluded spot just off the beaten path. Whether you believe it was mo’o after young men, exhaustion or cramps from swimming, or an undertow from the falls... It's best to stay away from this deadly pond.
Mo‘o, Hawaiian Shapeshifter Beings
Moʻo are often referred to as lizard beings or “dragons” but, according to our oral traditions, moʻo are more like shapeshifters. In some tales, one may find the abode of the moʻo near a body of water. In our moʻolelo, our stories, most moʻo are female deities. They take on the form of a beautiful woman who takes a male a companion as a lover or as a meal. In both cases, the man ends up dead.
