Lopaka Kapanui Shares 3 Ghost Stories of Hawai‘i

Listen as the local master storyteller tells tales of menehune, haunted houses and a kahuna who tried to bless an unblessable house.

 

We all love a good ghost story—and Hawai‘i is full of them. From night marchers to haunted cemeteries, the Islands are rife with supernatural tales.

 

This Halloween, our sister publication Hawai‘i Magazine enlisted the help of master storyteller Lopaka Kapanui, who leads walking ghost tours with Mysteries of Hawai‘i on O‘ahu, to get us in the mood for Halloween.
