    Uncle Lopaka is a fabulous spirit storyteller. I would like to ask him how he got the job because I would like to have a job like his especially because of my ancestors spirits.

    My father remembers there used to be an old church and a graveyard there. When he was driving for OTS he used to pick up the security guard who worked at the Contessa and the guard said he never experienced anything.

    yup that building is built over a graveyard. my father was the attorney representing the families who's relatives remains were buried there. and he won. but legislation passed a bill that allowed them to build over it.

    During the recent Kona Low the heavy rain was pounding on my house for hours. I did aseveral video’s inside my little kitchen to send via text so my contacts would hear the sound of heavy rain which was deafening,. I played them all back but there were 2 of them that I heard people talking in the background, real voices. I played them later for others who said they heard people with deep voices talking too but did not understand what was being said but definitely several voices talking. My friends asked me if I was playing videos on my i pad or cell phone but during the day is when I power up all my devices and they are never being watched or used. A few days after the heavy rains the wind picked up to 30 miles an hour with high gust just shaking the house. The wind made a lot of weird noises and a lots of whistling which is normal for wind but once again on occasion I heard people talking when there was no one there. Camping in Alaska once I was by a swiftly moving creek and the same thing happened that I heard several voices ask night and there was loud talking and laughing and sounded like a party. I was curious so i researched it and found that people did hear voices in buildings and such but hearing voices in running water was more common than I would have thought. The strange thing about the voices I heard was that the background noise kept changing but I could still hear the voices at time. I have never feared the natural world and and comfortable for some reason I don not even know. I am glad I found this video so at lest I could find someone that might know more than me about this occurrence. Maybe it was not English being spoken….
