In 1968, in their new home in Hawaii Kai, a family described an encounter with a ghost they called “Bernard.” The house was only five years old and the neighborhood was brand new, so there weren’t any previous tenants. However, Bernard made his first appearance to the family’s 17-year-old daughter, who was a senior at Kalani High School.

In 1901, a woman came forward to say that she dreamt of an old kahuna who died. She said that in her dream, he told her that he did not come to his death naturally. In the dream, Joe told the woman that he was hit in the back of the head by a Japanese man, and described the club that was used.

Stories of the “Woman in White” can be heard around the world in almost every culture.

At 1442 Emma Street, now within the location of Kamamalu Park, stood a house that was reportedly haunted. Do you think the ghost now roams the playground?

Thought to have originally been built for the purpose of telepathic communication, the mana here is ever-present and powerful. However, before you try to charge your crystals here (yes, unfortunately, it’s been attempted), one must understand that there is so much more here.

In the back of Manoa valley, people began to see orbs of light coming from the earth. The mysterious phosphorescent fire had the Hawaiians and Japanese living in the valley distinctly scared. A Japanese yard boy said that about 10:30pm in the upper part of the valley a particular light seemed to glow. The light was not strong, but being the only fire in the valley, it called attention.

Seminarians have long talked of attacks by levitating pencils, of doors that would stick on one side but not the other, of pats that rattled without cause.
