Ghost Stories LIVE from Hawaii for May 1st

Since Mid-March, Lopaka has been hosting an hour of live storytelling on Friday nights on his Facebook page, Mysteries of Honolulu. When we're able, we host on KZbin as well.
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 every day.

Love this Lopaka!! We went to the hawaii theatre a few weeks ago and it awesome. Mahalo for sharing these stories. Aloha

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

Mahalo Kalani! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself!

[@kalania14]

Mahalo for your kind reply Lopaka. I’m just curious, my Dad has a great “Ghost Story” when he was working Hawaiian Electric about the Contessa Condo Building at the top of South King Street. And i used to work at Waianae Comp and there are tons of stories about that place. I experienced several events that still haunt me 30+ years later. How do we get these to you and you can decide if you would like to share them!? Mahalo Nui Lopaka. You’re a great story teller. Aloha. Kalani

[@waynelkduarte45]

Love that story of healing from Makiki

[@tkmur1207]

That story about Norman and the theatre Dance Choreographer though?!

[@ZephyrinSkies]

Thanks for the stories! But man I gotta say Norman is sooooo dense.

[@RastaBot]

Loved that Akualele story!!! Soon as you said the cabinet had an alter with fingernails, I knew somebody was gonna get lickens.

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

From what I understand, that's how certain Kupuna kept their akua.

[@RastaBot]

@@MysteriesofHawaii A good friwnd of mine said his uncle from Moloka"i told him long ago, to make sure you discard fingernails and hair properly and dont just throw them on the ground. People can summon you from the dead for Akualele after youve past. Burning babies piko too after they fall out.

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

@@RastaBot Yes, I learned of it too growing up

[@JK-xr2yv]

Because of my connection to Hawai'i , somehow I found your KZbin channel, and I'm sure glad I did! The way you tell stories reminds me how my Mom used to tell stories, slowly and with vivid description, making it easier to imagine the characters and the scene better. If you like real ghost stories, I suggest you subscribe!

[@Greendragon518]

Bob crane ? I had no idea he was nuts 😂

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

No one knew, except for a few people.

Is Holiday Manor, near Don Qihotes in Honolulu haunted? I’m. Im not sure who to ask. My sister moved in awhile ago. And since then she’s need experiencing major issues. She calls me daily and tells me that she hears voices and that her neighbors are after her. She never had hallucinations like this before. How do I help her to undo this? I want my sister back.

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

I believe that area, including Don Quixote was once a cemetery

Next thing that happened was that he was forced to the ground, but he couldn't see nobody. Then he said that something was pressing on his chest like he couldn't breathe. Eventually he was able to walk.

Later on in life. I seen pictures of the crane erected for the purpose of retrieving bodies from the crater way back in the day. The things I have experienced, only some local people can relate to

[@ryanhori6954]

Maybe an hour or two passed before finally the kid arrived. He obviously got in trouble. One of the teachers aide was a local, so he understood what Pele and Hawaii history. The haole boy said what happened was as we were walking. He said something grabbed him from behind. He tried to tell, but he wasn't able to make a sound.

[@Kaya8008]

Any stories of young st

[@MysteriesofHawaii]

Yes! Tune in next week!

[@ryanhori6954]

Lopaka, I don't know if you ever been to Kilauea iki. It was with the same school group first time to ever go to Kilauea iki. From small kid time I knew something was different about me where I can see and hear things that nobody else can. Anyway I was walking around and I had a feeling that probably u can relate to. Getting close to the crater, I found the remnants of a small metal crane.

[@ryanhori6954]

I got a true story that is in the same line about being in volcano at Kilauea iki. Small kid time, I went there for school along with other classmates. There were only 3 of us who are local. The other 2 were Hawaiian, I'm Japanese but born and raised here. To make a long story short. There was a Caucasian kid, who was just like your story about not having respect. I warned him numerous times to be respectful or so bad going happen to u.

[@ryanhori6954]

Anyway it was a rainy afternoon, only had me and this haole walking on the trail. I was able to walk ahead of him and eventually left him alone on the trail. We were supposed to be back with the group by a certain time. The teacher asked where the haole kid was. I explained what happened.
