About this episode

Hawaii’s supernatural traditions emerge from specific islands, landscapes and living cultural beliefs. This episode moves through reported hauntings and older stories while recognizing that figures such as Pele and the Night Marchers carry meanings that extend beyond visitor-oriented ghost lore.

On Oahu, the route includes Kaimuki House, Laie Beach Park, commonly called Pounders Beach, Pali Highway, the Nuuanu Pali tunnels and Nuuanu Pali Lookout. It also discusses the Night Marchers, sometimes described as processions associated with Hawaiian chiefs and sacred places.

The journey continues to Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel, Waipio Valley, stories of choking ghosts, Pele and Maui’s Historic Iao Theater. The episode distinguishes Native Hawaiian tradition, local legend, property history and reported encounters.
