Hawaii's Most Haunted - Kipapa Gulch

Its name means “paved” or “placed prone,” as in the corpses of an invading army were placed prone along the base of the gulch. It’s also the site of a plane crash, missing hikers (presumed dead), numerous fatal car crashes, suicides, hauntings and even a night marchers path. This episode of Hawaii’s Most Haunted brings to you Kipapa Gulch.

In this series, Lopaka brings you some of Hawaii's Most Haunted places.
Master storyteller, Lopaka Kapanui, brings to life the feared Night Marchers, the goddess Pele, Menehune, e‘epa, mo‘o and more. But… Hawaiian deities and spirits aren’t the only things residing in this island paradise. Here is also where the Japanese dog demons, the inugami, are sent to ruin the lives of unsuspecting families. Here is where the Filipino vampire-like creature, the aswang, roams in search of her next victim. And here is where the Portuguese witch, the feiteceira, spins her spells and curses at her whim. Rich in culture and traditions, these islands are overflowing with stories of ghosts and hauntings, creatures and curses. Lopaka is the keeper of these stories.
Beyond the cool, blue waters and balmy trade winds of our idealistic paradise is the thin veil that separates our world from the place where shadows talk back. Spirits, Ghosts, Legends, Facts... Experience the Hawaii most don't see every day.

I still remember driving across this bridge as a child, and on some days, experiencing the strong aroma of diary cows below.

[@user-eq6iy4nw8o]

Not a lot of people remember but , this is the site right under the bridge, wea Americans put a concentration camp for the imprisoned japan 🇯🇵 people!! Barbed wires and old telephone poles where they used it as fence. That’s why they put the Okinawa center building right on the mountain!! While I had my chicken farm there we found bodies buried in Japan clothing and electricity chairs and Japan dog tags …. 1 of the most scariest places I’ve ever been in the island once the lights go down

[@Fiawordweaver]

Thank you. I didn’t know this added travesty location. I thought the concentration camps were all on the mainland. Heartbreaking

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

So this location is NOT ONLY at Honouliuli in Ewa.......the bottom area you are mentioning, is it stored with structures and even some constuction equipment?? I am assuming the area is unaccessible but only to those that work/live there.

[@user-eq6iy4nw8o]

@@Waynes-xt9gr it’s a farm land now where you can rent space for farm animals and chickens, but yes it was the Japanese concentration camp, Hawaii wasn’t a state at the time, but had a government funded like how Puerto Rico is property of America… you can actually google it and you will see the conditions they lived and died,,, I believe the United States gave $20,000 to the victims families to say sorry 😞 and build the Okinawa center right above the hill as a memorial for the forgotten.

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

@@user-eq6iy4nw8o but passing over the bridge...I do see a road leading down the property....do you know if its KAPU? or off limits except to residents/workers? I often deal with HUOA (HI United Okinawan Assn) so I can try ask them also. I also know a private group who dealt with JCC issues....they may want to know more. Will be in touch...mahalo!

[@localboyn2deep146]

It's not the dead you need to worry about, it's the living that can kill you....

[@Sch2155]

My grandmother said the same thing. It's not ghosts or spirits that you need to worry about, it's the people.

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

I must have driven over the kipapa gulch bridge probably over a thousand times. My family lived in what was waipio. Waipio was a Libby and McNeil pineapple plantation camp for the people and their families who worked for Libby. We had to drive through kipapa gulch to go to pearl city, Aiea, Honolulu. I never experienced any unusual experiences driving over the bridge. But when I was still in high school and had to go through kipapa gulch alone late at night my imagination got the best of me at times. Another spooky drive was driving through Schofield barracks over the kolekole pass to drive through the lualualei navy ammunition depot to get to nanakuli and Waianae. There were no lights going through the pass and down the mountain to the base. There were many twists and turns going down the mountain.

[@pezpengy9308]

hey Lopaka happy to see you up and about! dont forget the dogman!

[@allenbullard2237]

I have a story about that gulch me and my cousin was that our cousin's so it was kind of late and we got dropped off at Leeward community college to catch the bus up to wahiawa where we lived me and my cousin actually walked from Leeward community college all the way to wahiawa actually going through kipapa not sure what time it was but I believe it was between 11:00 p.m. to almost midnight we walked all the way from Leeward community college bus stop all the way down The gulch up the other side all the way through mililani down and up the hill there passed wheeler Air Force Base and walked all the way to our garage in wahiawa when going down The gulch it was the most scariest thing that I felt we said a prayer and we continue to walk and we made it we was trying to catch a ride by thumbs up but nobody would pick us up they probably thought we were some Spirit who knows but we made it home we did this walk because the next morning we were supposed to go with the family to go watch Star wars because Star wars just came out so we didn't want to miss the show so we decided to walk home. This is the true story I cross my heart and put my hand on the Bible that I am telling you the truth.

[@CCcastro336]

Wow fascinating story! Thank you for sharing!!

[@jpoi4695]

In the early a.m hours, I seen a ghost/apparition of a small boy walking on the side of the road going northbound, about a quarter mile pass the bridge. A friend of mine saw him sitting on the guardrail at the same area.

[@123downthecount5]

👀😃Always a AWESOME video,-LOPAKA!!!🤙⚡️

[@louisrobinson4164]

This place calls out to me when I drive by. Not it a bad way.

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

Aloha Sir! I travel on Kipapa numerous times but there is another roadway....probably around Schofield Barracks area. I hardly venture there but do know that its a very long road and areas as you drive, you are close to the cliffside. This road is more makai of Kipapa. There are NO streetlights or hwy lights.....but I do notice the mass amount of locations of "roadside memorials" where a fatal accident happened.

[@user-ld5sb5tq4g]

I have driven the Kipapa Gulch numerous times. You feel an ominous presence when driving over the bridge 😮.

[@osisai4155]

Brah, walking School street is more scary then Kipapa gulch 😂😂😂

Brother Robert has omitted something humaaangous about Kipapa gulch and it's got me howling mad.😂But seriously, people have died ultraviolent deaths there.

[@hawaiirhinofishing]

I love dis kind stuff Bruddah Lopaka-way to keep the the tradition of glen grant storytelling alive-with facts and history to back it up!! Much aloha 💯🤙🏽

[@MrOpihi]

Yep, my friend lived in Wahiawa while going to UH Manoa during the 80s, one night while coming home late (about 4:00am), he saw a white shape in the middle of the Kipapa bridge that he said looked like a feminine figure, he drove passed it but was too scared to look directly at it.

[@yaaadontsay3895]

Yesssah

[@TacTar]

Drove that bridge many many times and nothing happened. Just alot of drunks that slide over the bumps and crash into cars going the opposite.

[@allblind8088]

When i was young my mom got mad at me and made me walk home to mililani from waipio right after the sun went down idk if it was because i was scared but o swear i seen shit watching me ended up running in the middle of the road all the way to mililani

[@sammatsusaka823]

Old Waimalu Valley was more spooky. Crappy flashlight, dirt road, chinese koa trees. But 2x late afternoon, I saw (might be the same person) creeping by my Grandpa's Pig Pen. Going down the riverbed into a cave. Turned around and had 2 RED EYES looking at me.

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

I remember driving a long road more makai from this bridge, maybe towards Schofield Barracks side......road had many MANY roadside memorials....maybe one these days I make my way slowly to that road......btw, that road also never had streetlights. I can almost guarantee you that the Kam hwy/kaukamana/and i forget the last K one.....which is also known as "triple k".......when I heard dispatches from my then-working scanner.....of the nastiest deadliest fatal MVCs.....

[@darrellpasion8925]

I always Ride pass there going and coming home from work. Never witnessed anything scary even had to walk home late one night by myself to mililani because I missed the last bus in waipio, only thing I was scared about is getting hit by a car because the area is not well lighted

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

I think its the other road......I do remember the road being narrow and when you look over to your right as you drive DH bound, you already see the cliff. But I also DO remember seeing numerous crosses and leis adorning roadside memorials....

[@darrellpasion8925]

@Waynes-xt9gr what other road theres only one way passing over kipapa gulch into mililani. ?

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

@@darrellpasion8925I will look at a map later on....I remember driving this road and there was NO lights except for headlights and the many numerous roadside memorials along the road.
