My grandpa worked on the Wilson Tunnel construction but had to retire after being struck by a falling rock on the back of his neck. He permanently lost hearing in one ear from the injury. I always wondered what happened. We never know the backstory behind things. Anyway, since he had to retire "early" he was able to raise all of us grandkids and has been blessed with long life, he's still with us. He also said he saw wallabies all the time when he worked there. Mahalo for sharing this important part of history!
Mahalo nui , will definitely say a prayer for those men who lost their lives working in those tunnels !! Praying that their souls are free and not trapped.
Went through the Wilson Tunnel twice today. Didn't know tragedy the surrounded the Wilson Tunnel. Now, I know and the next I go through the tunnel, I'll send my prayers and condolences.
I grew up in Kalihi Valley and the mountain was my playground. I'm very familiar with the heau's as I walked most of that mountain asd a child. I have experienced some of the strange events and knew where not to go as I had leaned to respect the spiritual signs. For those who know Kalihi valley well know the ponds deep in the valley where people came to swim. One pond is called Ice pond as it's alway cold as it's completely covered by trees and it's very close to the tunnel. This is where my cousin passed away while we were swimming. we dove into the pond and came back up the rocks and he was lying on a rock dead. I never went swimming there again since that day.
Mahalo Lopaka Kapanui for the story of the Wilson Tunnel. I heard stories from my mom that how my Uncle Reginald Kamanu and his fellow co workers died while working on the Wilson Tunnel. My grandfather's name is Edward Kamanu from Kailua but originally from Maunawili.
The '70s show IN SEARCH OF... made me very scared. I would turn on the light when walking in the hallway and I would cover my face at night as my much as I could when I went to sleep because of ghosts.
Great Story to honor these fallen worker through earlier negligence of the mayor and the companies who knew/hold prior incidents. Do you have stories of any Pali highway construction incidents?
Tutu told me to place a washed T leaf on a rock and walk away.....only 1 leaf was on the ground, as we know if you grew up there, most of the Ti leaf plants are high in the mountain not low where we walked. Only 1 fresh lay in front of me. I sensed that I must turn around, but not before placing the Ti leaf on the rock. I knew it was a sign, Honestly if you have picked a green leaf, it is not easy, even when it dries up it is still hard to pull from stalk.
This guy I know in Moanalua Valley, said he and 2 co-workers was putting up lights in the H-3 tunnel. When they came running out; they couldn't talk. They just pointed. Down the end of the tunnel, he saw a 7 foot Hawaiian Warrior holding a spear. It stared at them, turned away and vanished.
@@SteadyBark96720 you're welcome. Moanalua Valley has some weird stuff that I saw. But like Bigfoot, hard to say without a picture or video. Separate incident, I heard a very loud door like slamming. Someone said it is a portal closing. It's not a gun shot. Also where the guy who used to own the valley, had a house there on the left. Sit on the stairs on the right. You are going to hear feet, rustling in the leaves.
I heard plenty stories about workers seeing 7 foot warriors in and outside the tunnel. How bout the one where one supervisor told one worker to go get one power tool inside a container under the exit on the Halawa side of the tunnel. When he got by the container he saw a guy standing by the door of the container standing holding a stick. Or the three boulders that was taken off the side of the hill at the exit of the Halawa side of the hill for the trucking company to pick the next mourning. Next mourning all three boulders was back on the hill or how bout where one of the tile setter helper walked past the scaffle the tile guys put up and put tiles in this wooden box fill to the top of the box full with tile for the setters easy access to the tiles in that box and it fell from the top scaffle and just barely missing a worker on da ground. The General stopped the tile setters and he told the tile company to call in a Kahuna to bless them and the tunnel before they can continue working. Plenty things happened there but nothing compare to what I see at another place I work. Up in that area I seen an transparent person walking along a road. It turned to look at me before moving to the side. You can see right through this thing and only white look like electricity shaped his body. This thing was huge, maybe 10 feet tall and he had log strides when he walked. It walked just like Big Foot. The road turned right down a hill with tall grass along side the road and all I saw was a big flash of light and this thing disappears.
Lopaka, Mahalo for all you do, your programs, tours, videos and appearances. This was an important tribute. You're a wealth of resources and a treasure for all of us in Hawaii to honor. Forgive me, please, when I suggest to you, in this video, approximately 5minutes in, the injury of "Mr Lawrence Ah Nee was from a trough that fell": its pronounced Troff/rhymes with off. Anyone not around livestock or large concrete pouring construction wouldn't know that, its kinda specialized. If you think what the cattle drink from? same word. Troughs are long containers common for water, but can be for cement, other liquid substances. Maybe horse or cattle trough (troff)? is familiar? I doubt there around Honolulu or Kaimuki? idk. ...please keep up your great work, and I'll see you once again, at your next Big Island performance. Promise not to bring a trough. Warmest aloha to you and yours.
Kuhio Hwy on Kauai is haunted. From Lihue to Wailua. Straight and unobstructed, this Hwy claims lives every yearl I too have encountered numerous accidents and narrowly escaped two.
Im a half black half white kid who moved to Kauai at 8 and moved back at 14 so not to local to know the ghost but I had multiple supernatural experiences with a kid who I went to school with and was next door neighbors with who commit suicide, but besides that I saw a lady in a white dress on the side of the road near the dolphin restaurant in hanalei at 3am when walking back from sneaking out with some friends right before I moved
It's tragic, the deaths of those 5 men. I live in WA state. Do you think prayers from a haole off island would be welcome and efficacious?or would be rejected?
I went to a school in Kalihi Kai called Puuhale. No haunted place here, but we did have a crematory nearby. Sometimes the bodies seem to come alive when burning.

Thank you for sharing your grandfather's story! I am so glad to know that he is still with you!

These Hawaiʻi’s most haunted videos are amazing! Can’t wait to see what else is coming!

Was always told to be careful where you buy property. Some places are sacred grounds. Always have aKahuna and minister to bless your home.

Thank you for the opportunity to hear history
For All Heavy Equipment Operators Local #3 GOD BLESS you know who you are.

Hawai’i’s spiritual traditions are sacred. The world of man and world of spirit is one and the same world.

This is great, I just wish the sound had been recorded properly so future generations would be more likely to listen.

Always learning! Mahalo!
Did they ever do one about the headless dog that frequents the bad turn on Kam why by kahaluu?
Mahalo🌺
Have questions more than comment. Is McKinley High School haunted? Explain. How about the area Makiki? Explain. Thanks and often asked.
Uncle can do Honouliuli?
RIP to the fallen❤😢
So sad
Kuhio Hwy on Kauai is haunted. From Lihue to Wailua. Straight and unobstructed, this Hwy claims lives every yearl I too have encountered numerous accidents and narrowly escaped two.
Ah yes, Wailua stretch by KCC and the golf course. A lot of energy there for sure.
Im a half black half white kid who moved to Kauai at 8 and moved back at 14 so not to local to know the ghost but I had multiple supernatural experiences with a kid who I went to school with and was next door neighbors with who commit suicide, but besides that I saw a lady in a white dress on the side of the road near the dolphin restaurant in hanalei at 3am when walking back from sneaking out with some friends right before I moved
Please improve the audio quality. Mahalo.
It's tragic, the deaths of those 5 men. I live in WA state. Do you think prayers from a haole off island would be welcome and efficacious?or would be rejected?
Prayers are always welcome, no matter where you are or where you're from. Mahalo!
@@MysteriesofHawaii Mahalo nui🙏
nope the palace or bishop museum is still by far the most haunted
It's definitely haunted with all the ancient artifacts that belonged to Ali'is
We went to a school called kalihi uka Elementary
I live down the street from that school
I went to a school in Kalihi Kai called Puuhale. No haunted place here, but we did have a crematory nearby. Sometimes the bodies seem to come alive when burning.
I attended Kalihi Elementary school then Dole Intermediate and then onto Farrington High school.
🙏🏽❤️
By any chance any urban legends about nanakuli side??🌺🤙🏽
LOTS!
@@MysteriesofHawaii 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very excited for those stories
