Chicken Skin Stories - "Bob Kawamoto"

Bob Kawamoto has returned to Oahu after being away for many years. Unbeknownst to Bob, his family books them on a ghost tour scheduled right after their arrival time. It's a bit disconcerting for Bob. ~~~ Lopaka Kapanui's Mysteries-of-Hawaii.com is Hawaii’s Original Ghost Tours and Chicken Skin Tours. Established in 1997 as a part of Glen Grant’s famous Haunted Hawaiian tours, helping to set the stage for all other ghost tours on Oahu and across the Hawaiian Islands. The realest, most exciting Historical and Haunted Tours of Hawaii.

Before becoming a world-class destination, before ghost tours, before outside visitors... the islands of Hawai‘i were steeped in oral traditions of shape shifting beings in the upland forests or waterfalls which were inhabited by a translucent force that dragged young men into their dark depths in order to suck the spiritual life out of them. Even King Kamehameha found it necessary to appease the very gods themselves in order to secure victory in his campaign to bring the Hawaiian archipelago under one rule.
Master storyteller, Lopaka Kapanui, brings to life the feared Nightmarchers, 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 inu-gami, 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 which separates our world from the place where shadows talk back. Spirits, Ghosts, Legends, Facts... Experience the Hawaii most don't see everyday.

This is one of my favorite stories told by Lopaka. I remember taking my students on the "walking tours" with Glen (before he passed). Glen would always ask me how many students I was bringing...I always told him three over the amount I was expecting. Lopaka is great and things happen when we go on the tours. I remember the last time I was on the tour going to Morgan's Corner - the bus stalled twice at the site!

Mahalo Kawika!

[@marmaduke954]

Oh! I really loved this one. My sister had a similar insiden, when she worked at the restaurant at the airport (nightshift) around 1968. She was in the locker room getting ready for her shift, and this other waitress came in and set next to her. She (my sister) asked her when did you get back? She was out sick, with cancer I think? She replied: oh tonight, I'm much better.. So when my sister went on the floor, she told another coworker, she spoke with so and so in the back, and she looks great! The woman looked at her puzzled? And said she past away a few days ago. Some of the other workers seen her also. They all said she looked happy

[@LopakaKapanui]

Not unusual

Aah that was such a good story, the lady in the water is like the one who was in the picture brides story "Midori" back in the 40's I think and as an old woman she tells glen what happened, that's pretty exciting to hear two separate incidents roughly 30 years apart, both were casters on overnight fishing trips, super cool Lopaka ,the history of them , thank you so much for the time you take to make these videos

[@LopakaKapanui]

Mahalo Leikili!

[@dbo808]

I heard a similar story a few years back only related to the ghost in the sea part. 2 guys went fishing Kohala coast on the cliffs overnight. After they set up and casted their poles out they waited a while and then the bell started going off like it was a huge strike. So the guy gets his pole sets the hook and starts reeling. The second guy grabs his flashlight shines on the line and follows it into the ocean to try and see if he can spot the fish. He shines his light following the line and sees a man climbing up the fishing line from the sea. They both see the man cut the line grab their gear and haul ass. The appearance of the ghost was never described to me so I have no idea about that part. I have also heard that up that side Kohala there are things still untouched that should be in museums true ancient hawaiian artifacts.

[@KuraiKuroNeko]

I'm not surprised, Kohala seems like the perfect place for shapeshifting Mo'o to find refuge in, I miss living up there because of how peaceful and truly country it still feels up there (especially next to Waimea, despite their new buildings).

Yessah Ms.Yasuda was my English teacher. Good teacher she was.

[@cherylmedeiros6287]

What you did at Nanakuli Intermediate and High School is amazing! It is a great way to teach Keiki how to do public speaking. Something that should be taught in school. They will need it for interviews and school projects. Mahalo for doing that!

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

mahalo!

[@lonelypigeon7562]

Mr Lopaka does speak elequently with his stories, but don't let that fool you......he has a very STRONG local pidgin english that will stun you to laughter and make you want to listen to him more!

[@mikarab6754]

Just found your channel, hope you upload a new video soon

[@makua5615]

Great story! I remember reading about calling spirits in one of glen’s books. The story was of a boy playing outdoors in the big island and a beautiful girl was luring him into the bushes where, unbeknownst to him, was a lava tube. If he had took a few more steps he would’ve fallen in. I wonder if the lady was one of those.

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

mahalo!

OMG!!!! He came home!

[@kawikadavid8958]

Wow scary!

[@tanker1960]

Dang!

[@Fab224]

Love this story and so scared at the same time, cause I'm actually really scared of the sea, rivers, lakes and swimming pools, it's kind of a phobia. This poor Mr. Kawamoto got scared by… a mermaid? Was that a mermaid? By the way what's the hawaiian word for "mermaid"?

[@CubDoesStuff]

Dang Hawaiian has a lot of Grudge type ghosts 👻

[@lonelypigeon7562]

Aloha Mr Lopaka.....where you are, in that playground....is it by the Queen Emma Summer Palace? if so and you mentioned a house in the backside.....the only house I can remember is one that I remembered "being blessed" after a young man was then-tormented by obakes (after a crime happened, the media dug up the history of this house and made it public). I know the crime committed but out of respect, will not mention names or street location. If the spirit was that powerful, its wonder why they could not get rid of it....and "he" was telling the truth.

[@ameliacraik3392]

Can i tell you a story?? In Poipu 2019 I wake up about 4 am ..9 of us in a 5 bdr condo everyone still asleep ..it's dark I walk into living room I hear small feet moving across the floor by the sofa so I walk towards the sound it shuffles the other way I go back the other way we do this about 4 times then I feel like whatever is playing with me lays on the sofa flat no movement I go to reach down I can feel it i all most touch it but pull my hand back I know don't touch it ..I keep thinking menehune..as everyone wakes up I ask if they down there they say NO to this day I wonder still what was it?

[@edserrano1803]

Wow!!! It must be true that the spirit of dead lingers and roams around the earth for 40 days and nights, before it goes to either the presence of The Creator or Gehena awaiting their 2nd death.

[@mahihaupu1485]

Does this still happen?

[@LopakaKapanui]

There are particular nights that experienced fishermen avoid at that location
