Hawaii's Most Haunted: Nu'uanu Pali

There have been numerous deaths at this precipice that marks the peak of this pathway from Nu’uanu to Windward Oahu -- from the last stand of Kalanikupule, to falling rocks, strong winds, horses losing their footing, and cars careening out of control, not to mention suicides... and murder. Today, Hawaii’s Most Haunted talks about the Nuuanu Pali.

Depending on who they’re speaking to, when people ask, “Why is the Pali haunted?” they might hear several different answers. And most of those answers might be true. This powerful, spiritual, haunting place has a long and violent history. It’s not just one thing that haunts this place, it’s many.

In this series, Lopaka brings you some of Hawaii's Most Haunted places.
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 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 which separates our world from the place where shadows talk back. Spirits, Ghosts, Legends, Facts... Experience the Hawaii most don't see every day.

so glad to have found this channel! watching from ireland at 2 am. there's just something about an island ghost story!

[@kawikadee9670]

One night at about 11:30 pm I was with some friends in a car. I could hear drums going and chit chatting, my friends didn't hear any of it and didn't know what I was talking about. At first I didn't really think anything of it but then as I spoke to other people and found that the drumming was the pahu drums and the chit chatting was chanting, I was like wow I'm glad that I was young and dumb.

[@shantybabyy]

I'm so glad you made this channel because it brings me closer to home!! I miss Honolulu so much! Oahu will always be my home and I'm proud to be born and raised here!

[@johnfitzgeraldkennedy5265]

[@kalkeikuu]

Found this channel and realized that you are my sons former Hawaiian Studies Kumu from Voyager School. Great channel.

[@warroom17]

For some reason, I woke up missing home terribly and thought of Glen Grant and you.. as I browsed my feed on you tube I wished Glen would have been able to share his stories to the masses because as I listen to people telling stories on you tube, I dunno, it sounds so monotone and boring, nothing like listening to real story tellers like you and Glen. As I searched and found your channel, I cannot express enough pride and gratitude for finding your channel and knowing that you continue to share your wonderful gift of storytelling on a larger platform. Mahalo Nui🙏❤

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

Thank you so much!

Went to Nu'uanu today and did feel the sadness and anger spoken through the winds.

[@AuraReyes-kv8ep]

There was this one time when my husband was back in high school, he and his friends had gone up to the Pali lookout and thought it would be funny to scare tourists visiting the area. My husband had a small fog machine and he set the fog to run across the trail. He would hide in the bushes and jump out to scare people walking by. Thinking that it was all in fun and games. They all say that they decided to leave because out of nowhere, it began pouring rain. They got back into the car when they noticed that it appeared to have only been raining over their car. My husband got out of the car to see if it really wasn't raining anywhere else, and when he got of the car the rain cloud followed him. So he went back in the car and it started pouring rain over the car. He did this a couple of times before realizing thatt the rain cloud was following him and him only. Needless to say, they left the area. Not sure when the raincloud actually left him, but his aunty, an ancient Hawaiian scorceress, scolded him and told him that's what he deserved for being disrespectful.

I use to live on the Pali. And I caught an orb in my home video during the day.

[@kaleoy7584]

The first time seeing orbs in a photo firsthand, was when my dad took pictures of the floating lantern festival years ago and there's a photo where there's tons of lanterns floating on the water and one can clearly see TONS of orbs. It was not a raining evening when that festival was going on that year.

[@Thedaytorise]

Thank you for sharing these stories, I greatly enjoy them.

[@solucky5]

[@Mikomido5]

When I lived at Nuuanu Pali (old pali road) I would always get sleep Paralysis now that I think of it, never really made the connection. But after planting Ti leaves, the sleep paralysis stopped.

[@Verity888]

You are a great storyteller, especially the second one.

[@MrJearley6]

I grew up in nanakuli and when I was 5 my family drove to Pali. I remember it was windy and then something wrapped their arms around me pulling from the concrete barrier I held on until I was pulled off of the barrier over to the railing again hands and arms pulled me down the path as my hands slid holding onto the railing all the way to the cliff then my legs went up into the air and I was looking down the cliff my body was vertical legs straight up in the air I was screaming the whole time yelling for help . Just as I lost my grip a man grabbed me and saved me. The crazy thing is there was no one pulling me. I still believe it was spirits dragging me to the edge of the cliff and was trying to throw me off.

[@FISH-6789]

That would of been a crazy sight to see, all those war canoes paddling in to Waikiki braddah. I can just imagine

The guy that was fooling around was a cop and he was a scumbag.

[@sammatsusaka823]

The Hawaiians wasn't so bright to climb up the steep mountain to fight. So many places they could have come onto land and fight. Why the Pali cliff? (Tunnel Vision?)

[@wizcold9103]

And what are you Asian?

Can see who's coming

What a foolish comment.

@@wizcold9103 can't say Asians bc they did the same thing. Lol. Being on a mountain has its vantage points. Less casualties, too.

😂 come on that’s just superstitious and nonsense I’ve been on that pali on the trail and cliff there wasn’t anything going on there! I’m not a believer in such nonsense as believers in the Word of God we need to be more careful about what we believe in when comes to what this individual is saying “ what someone else’s said, you need to see it and hear it to believe it! It’s always someone or the ancestors but did you see it?! No that’s the problem with all this storytelling only speculation and superstitions!
