Hawaii’s Most Haunted Places, News Articles, and Legends.

Learn about some of the most haunted places and subjects in Hawai‘i through Hawaiian legends and oral traditions, historical accounts, newspaper articles, and true personal ghost stories.

We'll let you decide but be forewarned: Should you choose to strike out on your own, you are your own keeper. Meaning, what we note here are facts, legends, and observations, it is not a tourist’s guidebook or study manual of where to find “supernatural” occurrences. The places mentioned here, like many places in Hawai‘i, are very much like people; some will welcome you, some will not. To venture out alone is purely at your own risk.
