Mysteries of Hawai'i with Lopaka Kapanui

#hawaii #supernatural #ghost
Lopaka Kapanui is a native Hawaiian Master Storyteller. He is the founder of the Mysteries of Hawai'i Ghost Tours, which has recently been voted Best Ghost Tour in the United States by USA Today. For over 25 years, he has continued the oral tradition of his ancestors by sharing stories of the past. From legends of the Night Marchers to the Sharkman of Kāneana Cave. From ghostly tales of Morgan's Corner to terrifying encounters with a faceless woman. You'll hear the incredible events that led Lopaka to a life intertwined with the supernatural and unexplained and what it all means both for those who live, visit, or continue to haunt the islands of Hawai'i and beyond.

I thought you were in Nova scotia filming? Still Demonetized? Lorde, get rid of any vintage skies content, which I’m sure you have already!

@@RichardBarron_ All vintage skies has was deleted months ago. I am in Nova Scotia. This doc was recorded in 2020.

wow. Lopaka is a gift. I was a ghost tour guide in Galveston once upon a time... people think it's all spook... but no... its a lot of history, dates, etc. I LOVED it. We also had a faceless person, that came out of a bathroom... I wish I could give details but my old boss made me sign a contract that you have to take the tour to find out... $$ and all that... Lopaka is a gift. Did I say that?? His suffering as a child = shamanic initiation... Also, Peter... what a doll!!! I wish I could hug that sweet boy!

It’s great that you’re covering the mysteries of Hawaii Ryan. My family on my mom’s side is Hawaiian and I used to love it when my aunts and uncles would tell me strange stories. Nice work covering the night marchers too!

One night at Iolani Palace, my friend who can see ghosts, seen Queen Liliuokalani staring at us from up top on the balcony, she said she was holding a book

[@RenzaissanceTV]

Later that night we ended getting chased by Night Marchers, one of the craziest nights of my life
