Ep. 9: Burial Rituals of Hawaiians

Ghostlore of Hawaii: Paranormal Paradise

Note: For best listener experience, headphones are suggested but not required. Aloha! Thank you for joining me for episode 8: Burial Rituals of Hawaii! This episode is based on a true event that happened in the little town I grew up in on the Big Island of Hawaii. I learned of this incident from the same Hawaiian history teacher I spoke about in episode 4 pt. 1 who experienced his car being pushed sideways by Nightmarchers. I don't want to give too much away, so.... Get as comfortable as you can on these lava rocks, sorry not as soft as sand... Pop open a green bottle, spark up that paranormal pakalolo (if that's your thing), and let's get into this.... The Ghostlore of Hawaii Patreon is now live!
