Arriving from the far-off land known to Hawaiians as Kahiki, the high priest, Pā‘ao, brought with him a new religion and had a heiau built on the highest ground available along this part of the Puna coast. Constructed around the 13th century, this heiau changed the way Hawai‘i’s ruling class worshipped. Once this ground was so sacred, so full of mana, that no commoner and no woman, regardless of rank, could approach the heiau. Man became the principal sacrifice while the kahuna and the ali‘i communed with the gods within its walls. On this episode of Hawai‘i’s Most Haunted, we learn about Waha‘ula Heiau on Hawai‘i Island.

In this series, Lopaka brings you some of Hawaii's Most Haunted places.
Master storyteller, Lopaka Kapanui, brings to life the feared Night Marchers, 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 that separates our world from the place where shadows talk back. Spirits, Ghosts, Legends, Facts... Experience the Hawaii most don't see every day.
