This happened to me. My husband and I were visiting my daughter who was stationed at Pearl Harbor in 1999. We had flown to the big island and visited Volcanoes NP and the black sand beaches. I did believe that curse and took some black sand back home. My life started to fall apart. It ended in a nasty divorce, my husband of 25 years was having an affair with an old high school sweet heart. The lies he told his family were horrendous, about me. But I flew back to Oahu and back to the Big Island, drove to those black sand beaches and asked the Fire Goddess, Pele, for her forgiveness, and poured the sand back on the same beach. I then drove to Volcanoes NP and poured a full bottle of gin over the Rim and tossed in a Lei of flowers, as tribute for any forgiveness she would grant me. But I stated there for two weeks, actually having job interviews and the day I was scheduled to fly back to the mainland, I recieved the news that I had gotten my dream job. That was in Sept 2000. I have visited Volcanoes many times since then, I've even taken leis and gin to thank Madam Pele for her granting me forgiveness. Never, ever make fun of the superstitions of the Hawaiian people. And always respect the Hawaiians. I know this will sound weird but it really did happen. I could tell you more of the taboos of the Hawaiians. But I won't bore you.

@MichaelGarton-ow5jg I have friend who I paid for her flight to Oahu, she stayed with me for two weeks. She was a geologist, but had never seen a volcano in person. In 1980, before Mt. Saint Helen blew her top, we so wanted to hop in her VW van and go see what was going on. We never went. So I took her to the Big Island. It was a foggy morning as we headed to Volcanoes N.P. It was like a corridor of fog and bamboo, and all of a sudden, on the right side of the road. We both saw the lady and I said something like, "HolyShit!", did you see that old lady? My friend did as well. Had her describe what the lady looked like. She said, old, long Grey hair, in a muumuu and old flip-flops. I muttered "Slippas". But I turned that rented jeep around and Said, We need to find her, to offer her a ride." But we never did. But I then drove straight backwards to Kona and to Walmart. Bought a bottle of gin and two let's. My girlfriend thought I was crazy. But we drove back towards Volcanoes and that fog was all gone. Yep, I dumped the gin over the Rim, and we threw the let's afterwards. I explained that that old woman could have been the Goddess Madam Pele. So I had bought the items to say sorry I didn't see her fast enough to give her a ride, and to bless our tour of her home. I swear to this day, it was Madam Pele! Just writing about that day gimme chicken skin all over, Brudda! Aloha!👍

I went to the big island this Sept and brought back a small black rock from a black sand beach, not knowing this, and a month later, on October 8th, I was informed to be part of the company workforce reduction. I got laid off from my 9 years of job (even though I know my boss wanted to get rid of me for a while now), it's been a month now since the layoff,, I haven't had any luck on job interviews!! I am glad I saw this video today, maybe I should mail it back, but I don't remember which park I went to, I think it was a small beach! Pele please forgive me, I didn't mean to disrespect or anything like that....FORGIVE ME, I need a job! :(

[@anitaliwai1868]

Believe it - the office at the military base there has plenty of letters in the lobby describing their bad luck and returned sand and lava.

Born and raised Hawaiian here from Oahu and now living in Hilo, approximately 40 minutes away from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Here's a couple of things for people to consider before visiting Hawai'i, especially Kilauea Volcano. #1) Our land ('aina) is sacred to us. Please do not take anything from the land back home with you, including rocks/sand etc. The stories told in this video are not a legend, these things really do happen. #2) Pele is real, and I have personally seen/encountered her 3 times. The first time I saw her there was absolutely no mistaking her, as she was standing on the side of the road during a raging thunderstorm with heavy rain. She was in her young woman form dressed in red with steam coming off her head and body as the rain was hitting her and she was looking up at the sky. We did not stop to pick her up (as is our custom) because she wasn't looking at us, nor did she motion for us to stop. As soon as we passed her I looked in my side mirror and she was gone. We in Hawai'i know she is not just merely a legend and we take her seriously and she is paid the utmost respect. #3) If you go to Kilauea, please do not pick Lehua blossoms, it is forbidden. #4) Please do not throw coins into the steam vents, especially the one with the guardrails around it on the way to the crater. It is NOT a wishing well, and it is disrespectful to us as Hawaiians and the 'aina. #5) Please don't leave opala (rubbish) in the park, again this is disrespectful to our 'aina. There are other suggestions, but this is just a start and I encourage all who read this to please do your research before you come...Mahalo, L .

Didn’t you see the Brady Bunch episode?

[@StanCat4]

Best comment!!

[@gilbertmelara]

Very interesting I didn’t know that I’m going to be very careful next time I go to Hawaii that you

[@GrandmaTurtle]

I took stuff from Hawaii 50 years ago and the only thing that happened to me was life.

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

There are things that are beyond our consciousness, beyond our eyesight, different dimensions or realms, it sounds insane to me too, but they exist.

[@occamsrazor9183]

Did she say the burning ball said, "Wassap"..?

[@StanCat4]

Yup

[@BeccaL2016]

4:17 i can’t believe this!! I visited the big island this year September for a week, I took a few small black rocks from one of the beaches I visited (don’t remember which one), in October 8, I was one of the employees who got laid off!!! And it’s been over a month I haven’t got any interviews 😢!! I know my (ex) boss didnt like me but they can’t just let someone go then the company had a workforce in reduction then here is her chance to get rid of me… what should i do? What return address I should send the rock?
