Ghostlore of Hawaii: Paranormal Paradise

About Ghostlore of Hawaii: Paranormal Paradise

When most people think of Hawaii, they imagine sand, surf, and the Aloha Spirit....but spirits of a different kind may occupy the Hawaiian islands. Most people visiting the islands don‘t know of Hawaii‘s haunted history. Want to learn of the haunted hotels and the restless spirits that still roam the grounds? Or why whistling at night attracts spirits of the dead... Come join me, Uncle Jared, as I cover these infamous tales on my podcast, Ghostlore of Hawaii: Paranormal Paradise

   Giants of Old Hawaii (Season 3 Premiere)

   Note:  For the best audio experience, headphones are suggested but not required. Aloha Ghostlorians! Thank you so much for your patience while I’ve been working on Season 3, my apologies for the delay! The theme for tonight’s  episode was one I’ve been wanting to cover ever since season 1, so I’m excited to finally be able to share it with you all!  The topic:  The Giants of Old Hawaii. Legends of Giants have been part of Hawaiian folklore for centuries.  In this Season 3 premiere, I’ll be discussing several of the giant-themed stories I found that were based in Hawaii, along with a few tales from around the world that share eerily similar details.  Later in the episode, I’ll dive into a discovery found at a construction site on Hawaii Island that may change how we view Hawaiian mythology, while also bringing up the question; were Hawaii’s giants actually part of Hawaiian history? So crack open a green bottle, spark up some paranormal pakalolo.... and let’s get into this!

   Bonus Mini-Episode: The Visitor (Including Ways to Help Maui)

   Aloha, On August 8, 2023, a wildfire ravaged Lāhainā on the island of Maui destroying an estimated 85% of the beachfront town, altering Hawaii's history forever.  My father's side of the family has lived in Lāhainā for over a century, with the small town serving as a second home to my sister and I growing up, so of course we were beyond heartbroken.  Long before this tragedy, in the fall of 2022, a writer from Honolulu Magazine (www.honolulumagazine.com (http://www.honolulumagazine.com)) reached out asking if I'd like to submit a story for an article they were doing for Halloween.  That story turned into this episode with additional information not covered in the magazine piece. (https://www.honolulumagazine.com/locals-share-firsthand-spine-chilling-ghost-stories-just-in-time-for-halloween/ (https://www.honolulumagazine.com/locals-share-firsthand-spine-chilling-ghost-stories-just-in-time-for-halloween/)) This incident was something an ex-girlfriend and I experienced while visiting my grandparent's home on famed Front Street and was intended to be a Patreon exclusive episode.  However, after news of the fire, I went back and updated the ending to include how the fire has impacted my family personally and to add a short disclaimer.  After zero contact for over 24hrs, we finally learned my grandma and other family members were confirmed to be safe after being forced to evacuate twice.  Tragically this was not the case for many other residents.  Whatever you may hear on the news I can assure you it is much, much worse.  It is still too early to know the total destruction or even an accurate number of missing or deceased and will take years to fully understand the outcome of these fires with the clean-up and rebuilding of historic Lāhainā taking even longer.   I decided to release the episode to all listeners to include resources on how to help the Island's residents. Maui needs more assistance than ever, please check the show notes for additional ways to help.  Mahalo.

I've been overwhelmed with the immense amount of listeners who've reached out asking how to help or if my family has a GoFundMe to support.  At the moment, my family is OK financially and do not want to take away from others who may require that same support, but want to thank everyone for their kindness and well wishes. #MauiStrong #LahainaStrong

   Ep. 26: The Sleepwalker (Season 2 Finale)

   Note:  For best listener experience, headphones are suggested but not required. Trigger Warning:  This episode briefly mentions several situations of self-harm.  Listener discretion is advised. Aloha!  Thank you for joining me in the last episode of Season 2 of the Ghostlore of Hawaii:  Paranormal Paradise podcast!  I cannot believe we're already wrapping up Season 2!  I appreciate your patience over these last couple of weeks.  My computer decided to "kick-the-bucket" (RIP old friend) before I could complete the intended episode finale.  After much debate (and understanding by the awesome Patreon Members), I decided to release this story, which was an exclusive episode for Patrons (www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii (http://www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii)), to wrap up the season so you listeners wouldn't be left hanging.  The podcast will now go on a short break until Season 3, but don't worry, it won't be long before we're all huddled around the bonfire once again! If you fear the thought of Ghostlore of Hawaii withdrawals (lol) you want more content, I will continue to release bonus and mini-episodes all throughout the break.  To find out more or to become a member, head over to:  www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii (http://www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii) So enough of the business talk.... Versions of this tale have circulated for years.  One popular depiction was told in author Glen Grant's TV special 'Chick'n Skin:  Tales of Supernatural Hawaii' that came out in the mid-90's.  Ever since seeing that interpretation as a child, the images of the story have stuck with me to this day.  As the victim in my version discovers, "new beginnings" can always be haunted by tragic pasts...
