Get planny stories in Kalihi - Palama. In fact, you can feel the presence of something spooky if not sacred. Especially when someone or something stay hele make. I grew up by the Old Incinerator where Honolulu Community College parking lot stay stay. That was our backyard including Hawaii Hochi. Ohh, We used to climb and play on the Huge paper roles. Places we grind in that area were Q’s Drive-in, The Old Vienna Bakery, Violets Coffee Shop, Hall Saimin and (I tink) Fuji Store? (i fooget) fo da shaved ice. The old Manapua Man use to walk by holding the steamers on both ends of a pole selling Dim Sum. Remembah the huge pineapple at the cannery? Da good ol’ daze. Eh, Even o dea felt haunted. Yeah had planny spooky stories the Kupuna’s use to tell us about Kalihi-Palama. Shoots! 🤙
OMG!! That back groud picture you have there. Upstairs unit was where we lived! We lived there between 1987 to 1990 or so before moving to Kukui Gardens! That's crazy..I alway knew something didnt feel right about this place when I was around 5 years old living there...that insane!
I grew up in the Kalihi, Palama area. in fact the Kalihi post office is where I use to live before the post office was built in the early 70's. DANG! I'm old🤣
My home town, my stomping grounds. I was hoping you would tell us stories of Farrington High or Kalakaua Inter. too, But I appreciate these stories! Aloha my bruddah!!!
I would also love to know the history of farrington high school, I remember always passing by the school at night time and every time I did, there would be a certain light from one of the buildings bathroom that would always be on (pretty sure it was the bathroom) and finally one day I passed by with a friend of mines who was a graduate from there and I asked her “why is that light always on” and she told me that one day there had been a complaint or a favor that was asked of the staff at farrington or maybe it was the locals who lived near the school but they called the police and asked if they could go and check and see why the light was on because they didn’t want kids to be playing there especially at night time and so the police accepted the request and sent 2 officers to go check and so they arrived and as expected they seen the light on from the room and 1 officer asked his parter to go run upstairs really quick to go turn the light off while he stays downstairs to catch whoever it could be that may run downstairs and so he patiently waited for the officer to come down and he realized his partner was taking a long time after half an hour passed by and noticed that the light from that room was still on and so he felt worried and decided to go check on his partner and as he went upstairs and went into the bathroom, he seen his partner knocked out cold on the floor and he ran to his partner and shook to wake him and about half an hour of trying to wake him the partner became conscious and the officer asked him what happened and he said he seen a lady dressed in old nurse attire staring right at him and what knocked him out cold was that when he looked down, the lady had no legs. From that day on that bathroom light has ALWAYS been on even until this day you can see it if you’re passing by from the side where the lds church is.
I’ve also heard that back in the day the school used to be a hospital for injured soldiers from WWII and another thing I was curious on as well, I remember the auditorium was being rebuilt and the construction workers were digging up a tree for some space to build and found bones buried underneath the tree but I’m not very sure if that was true or not but I did notice the construction was a bit delayed so it would make sense that the cause of it would have been the bones. I can go on and on about the school from experiences I’ve heard but going there my freshman year I haven’t experienced anything strange.
@@moonkissed6606 My brothers experience some activity at the typewriter class at night, typewriters were heard while they were sitting on the stairs next to it. So my brother knocked on the door to see if someone would answer and the typing stoppped, as he backs away from the door he looks up at the glass above the door and theres a face staring back at him, they all ran out of the school lol. Also the auditorium theres a girl ghost who supposedly hung herself there, my friends have seen her, also the catwalks are hella scary hehe.
@@RastaBot yeah farrington HAS to be haunted haha I also heard that McKinley is very haunted as well, some claim the statue in front of the school walks from its spot to a certain specific room every night at a certain time lol Hawaii is just PACKED with paranormal activity

Never heard of ghost stories in Kalihi-Palama area. I lived at the mouth of Kalihi Stream and next to Puuhale School from 1932 until 1953. I left Hawaii in 1953.
Accidentally came upon ur upload vid. Interesting n informative. How appropriate since its almost Halloween! Have seen u recently @ the Hawaii Theatre n previously enjoyed ur scary stories on Hawaii News Now. Kudos. New subscriber because of ur previous work. Anticipating more of ur stories. Aloha from Kauai.
Bad ass story! Yeah I live on a haunted island too. Had some crazy stuff go down in my last apartment. Respect the dead 🏛💀🏛 Disturbing them is always a mistake.
I lived in mayor wright housing by DESHA LANE, I had friends that lived there, they use to tell me stories as well. I also had a friend that died right below that apartment, a car crashed her into that wall, it was a sad day.
Kinda spooky but at 3 am you can see a trail of homeless chronics riding little kids bikes up and down North King Street. Look like the Tour de France.
P.S. I am so happy and proud that they revived and taught the Hawaiian Language , Culture and History. As they would say "Da kids today know about the Islands than us ol buggas!"
I don't know about Kalihi, but I've had some weird things happen in my house in Ewa. My wife took a picture of me standing in my house, and there near and around me was what looked like a party. There was an outline of a heavy-set woman in a grass skirt standing next to me, there was some creature crawling on my kitchen cabinets, and two dog-like animals running around my living room. I couldn't believe my eyes, and it scared the heck of me. I respect the land where I am, so I just try to roll with it and be at peace with whatever it is.
@@MysteriesofHawaii Unfortunately, no. This happened about 5 years ago. My wife was laying in our hammock in our yard and focusing the camera into our house where I was sitting, which is where all this "action" was focused around. When I saw it, it was something that I didn't want to keep and something I wanted to get rid of. I was really terrified, so I just instinctively deleted it as my first reaction. Something I kick myself over now.
@@MysteriesofHawaii However, my kids and I DID have another experience that I managed to capture in a photo. My son was wading in the water in the old turtle pond next to the Anderson estate where the old Magnum PI series was filmed. In the background were TWO figures watching us in the distance. What made it creepy was when I took the picture, nobody was standing there, and the two "people" had no feet. Now it's worth mentioning that at the time, some people at the Waiamanalo Canoe club which is at the adjacent beach were having a service for their recently passed friend and spreading his ashes into the ocean. One of the figures in question looked like a regular Bruddah. But the one standing next to him looked absolutely terrifying. He had a face like a skull with huge empty eyes, and while it was wearing clothes, it looked like underneath the clothes were just bones as it was unrealistically skinny. Now my wife who took the picture, and who is kind of attuned to these things has a theory. The "regular" guy was the man whose ashes were being spread into the ocean. The one next to him was Death, taking him into the next world. If you would be interested, i could send you those photos. Take care.
Iv heard a few Crazy stories of the Building of the H -3 ⛑ HALAWA VALLEY from different workers n still things keep happening right before the first tunnel East Bound 😳 🤙ALOHA 🌺
If it’s in kalihi, those white puffs of smoke or apparitions aren’t ghosts, those are meth clouds. Or moped exhaust. And that eerie sound deep in the valley at night, is a fobs riced out Honda 😂
I found it quite sad, too, when I saw it when I lived there. There is a graveyard close to Alani Street in Kalihi where my mother in law, father in law plus 15 other people lived in one unit, one house on top of another with a shed converted to a small house for another 5 people. You know da kine! The father in law spoke of he & my mother in law being buried there! It was so rickety, grave stones smashed by vandals, lots of overgrowth, some of the coffins visible as the ground had shifted so much. When my mother in law died, there was no way her children, grandchildren & gr grandchildren were going to bury her there. We all put our money together for a beautiful, well kept burial site. Valley of the Temples, Kāneʻohe. It's a beautiful, restful place for one with such a beautiful soul as my mother in law.
I remeber going there for one field trip in 1986, I was 7th grade at Kalakaua Intermediate. I remember the guide telling us these stories. Born and raised in Kalihi during the 70's-80's I consider myself lucky, I wouldn't change a thing...well one thing, I wouldn't have let my cousin borrow my bike, the bike got stolen on his watch. Yea you!! You still owe me $300...STANLEY!🤣
Sadly it’s extremely common practice in Hawai’i. Since Hawaiians are a minority in our own homelands, you find that people who aren’t of our culture don’t give OUR ancestors (or us for that matter) the respect they give their own. Thank you for pointing that out though, I appreciate that you mention it when other commenters didn’t seem to care or notice… honestly it just proves my point, it’s so commonplace that non-Hawaiians don’t even notice it anymore.
Well.....as of this year, 2022....there IS construction going on at the exterior of the bldg....more activity on the kkhd side (small side road).....nobody is saying anything right now....unless BWS knows and is NOT bringing up the subject due to deadline commitments.
@@PalmtreezNcoolbreeze8084 Born Queens medical center. Went iliahi elementery in wahiawa. Wahiawa Intermediate, and Farrington highschool. Born and raised bah. Never saw a ghost.
This is a place where history, folklore, religion and the paranormal exist. Thank you for your stories. One day I hope to visit Hawaii.
