Located in Downtown Honolulu was the site of the first executions by hanging in Hawaii. The first was that of Kamanawa and Lonopuakau in 1840. This sad milestone marked the first time an ali‘i of such rank had been convicted of a crime under the new constitutional law.

In this series, Lopaka brings you some of Hawaii’s Most Haunted places.
Master storyteller, Lopaka Kapanui, brings to life the feared Nightmarchers, the goddess Pele, Menehune, e‘epa, mo‘o and more. But… Hawaiian deities and spirits aren’t the only things residing in this island paradise. Here is also where the Japanese dog demons, the inugami, are sent to ruin the lives of unsuspecting families. Here is where the Filipino vampire-like creature, the aswang, roams in search of her next victim. And here is where the Portuguese witch, the feiteceira, spins her spells and curses at her whim. Rich in culture and traditions, these islands are overflowing with stories of ghosts and hauntings, creatures and curses. Lopaka is the keeper of these stories.
Beyond the cool, blue waters and balmy trade winds of our idealistic paradise is the thin veil which separates our world from the place where shadows talk back. Spirits, Ghosts, Legends, Facts… Experience the Hawaii most don’t see every day.

As far as I know Kamanawa is buried in Koloa on Kauai, in the county cemetery.
Love ❤️ 😍 your stories so much just love your channel could listen to it all day
These keep getting better. Better story, better sound quality, better background music levels… thanks!
Thank you for sharing this… kamanawa is my ancestor by bloodline… mahalo again
I know of a place I call "the Whispering Walk". How do I contact you folks who do these videos to ask questions or offer directions to it?
👍awesome story👍
Great job! I love how you incorporate the locations. Keep up the good work.🙂
what are your thoughts on the bottom floor of iolani palace being buried in the mud. MUD FLOODED . Phoenician?
Quite "alluring" as we were never taught any history of Ha'Wii in New Jersey or New York. To hear of haunted Hawaii is even more alluring. The Banshees do wail in Ireland. A Priest I know who hailed from Ireland attested to hearing the banshees in Ireland. He was never hesitant to talk of it.
Thank you 🥰

I've never had Christian ways And I'm a white boy proud of my pagan ancient ancestors. I have many Jewish friends but they all know I do not believe in their God.

Sad to see Hawaiian's Filipinos blacks you name it buy end of Christianity…. I'll never let a mediterranean goat herders tell me what the f*** to do.
Very proud of the pagan wicker man Druid background of my ancestors….
No burial stone for Kamanawa at Mauna Ala though? I wonder where he is buried there.
You feel the execution of 2 murderers is sad ? I understand that the Christian penalty for adultery was harsh, that didn’t give them the right to murder their wives. He was in LUST with these women, casting aside his wife like trash… and that’s OK because it’s native tradition? I bet native tradition didn’t allow WOMEN to have lovers. Adultery was OK, was murder also?
