    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.

    I have a story of Saddle Road from my mom:
    In the 80s my mom was on saddle road coming back from a party in the passenger seat with 3 haole friends.
    They drove past an old, short, beautiful woman in traditional Hawaiian dress. The friends drove past and my mom knew she couldn’t take a chance as this woman may be madam pele. So she had her friends stop the car to reverse back and inquire of the woman. When my mom spoke to her she invited her into the car and the woman said nothing but opened the door to the back and got in the car.
    The drive was silent, her friends were kind of freaked out. After a couple of minutes, screams filled the car as Pele disappeared without a trace.
    My opa always warned mom that if she ever met pele to serve her and do as she required. So always remember to serve pele if she ever shows up.

      Yes, serve her and she will leave. My cousin was going home from Hilo Airport same thing she seen a lady walking with old muumuu my other cousin in the passenger seat lived in Mountain View she told my cousin driving to stop and pick her up but the driver didn't listen and when she dropped the cousin in passenger off at her house as soon as she walked in everything was slamming in her house and she called my cousin the driver to check if the lady was walking pick her up but the lady wasn't on the road. The slamming went on for almost 3hrs my cousin said.

I use to swim above rainbow falls in my early 20's. Seen a few things there that probably dont belong in there. 😂 One day i just had that feeling something/someone was under me while cliff jumping.

    My family and I traveled to the big island for my niece's graduation in 2015. We stayed in Kona and drove to Hilo on that road several times but we did not encounter or feel any unexplained events. The latest we drove that road was close to midnight to return to Kona and we never felt spooked:). Now the lava fields...I personally know two people and their friends who got lost on those fields at night (not intentionally) and came out alive by following a light. Explain that! (lol) Shaka!!!

I was at Lanakila church when I saw it. But that was pretty much the only et thing I ever seen in that area.

      My older cousin went to help clean out an uncles house as he was too old so the ohana slept outside the house in tents because his house was old and rundown. As soon as the family got there my great grandma prayed over the home and everyone staying there. One night someone sent a fireball and it was a smokey blue ball that was trying to get into the house but because my great grandma had prayed over the house and everyone it couldnt go in the house so it went around the house a few times and my cousin said she could hear voices speaking from the fireball as it was in front of her face and then my grandma cast it away and it exploded. That was back in 2003 and my cousin never returned to the Big Island again.

    Was going up Saddle road in 1976-77, don't remember which year. But there are little rock walls they say was built by the Menehune's. Legend has it if you find something on the wall, it is best to leave it. One of the guys found a necklace and took it. He was told not to, but didn't listen. Next day he broke his arm. He returned the necklace.

    I am intrigued!! My brother had an experience up there as he was a young man in the Marines back in the mid-80's! They were up at Pohakuloa for training and they were out on the field. One night he had to pee badly and so he just went somewhere behind a rock. There was no incident until he went to sleep curled up in the bed of a truck, if I remember correctly. He started breaking in a sweat and had uncontrollable chills. No, he did not ask permission to go pee anywhere, so I assume this was what happened to him. He's very lucky that nothing worse happened.

    Around 2005 I got stranded in Kona after a meeting and didn’t have any money on me at the time and decided to walk through Saddle road to Hilo around 10pm. It was dark but oddly not windy, normally when I go here it’s gusty. Not a single person drove on the road the entire time. My mind wasn’t really paying attention to where I was going and I felt like I was on autopilot. By the time I made it to the end of saddle road the sun was just starting to rise. I felt fully rested and wide awake and realized I ended up in an area near a friend of mine lived.

    Driving on the new saddle road, I saw someone who I thought was dancing hula on the lava rocks. We drove by fast, so all I saw was that she had some traditional hula dress on, while in a hula pose (when you have one leg forward and both arms reached out in front of you, hands cupped). This was during the day, which was slightly foggy but you could still see. My bf and I were headed towards Kona from Hilo. I dont think she was a ghost, because it was opposite side of the road headed towards mauna kea, and that area usually has some people. She might’ve been a student or kumu just showing appreciation to pele, but still, it was rare but beautiful sight.

How about when saddle road gets completely socked in with fog, like when a cold front comes over the island in the winter. You can only see a few feet in front of your carand the headlights at night just make it worse!!!! Definitely no high beams!!! Iused to drive from Hilo to kona at night all the time in the late 70's and 80's late at night with little or no cars on the road, just driving by myself alone!!!! It's just unreal!! I'd drive from Captain Cook, south, all the way to volcano then down chain of craters road all the way to kalapana or further, at like midnight. It's a 2 hour drive, and few cars were out and it's amazing doing it alone!!!!

    As a child in the 70’s we avoided taking saddle road. Only my uncle would take it and only when he was alone. He is 91 and still alive and living in Hilo. Oh, he would take pork on occasion. I’d say since the late 90’s to now we all take saddle road unless we have time or want to stop at places along the belt road. My cousin used to tell me about how the horseshoe turns were haunted. I personally have never experienced any supernatural events. I will say I have respect for all the ancient stories. Seems most of the stories told were Hilo to Kona, interesting.

    I live in Hilo and often work in Waimea/Kona, so I take the road about a once week. I heard the rumors but funny enough it's the real people that scare me. People visit the island, take the 1.5 hour long drive and end up speeding down the mountain on either side, we're talking like 70+ mph.... Sucks because I work in traffic control and I can't stop people when they come barreling out of the fog that's only visible up to 50 feet.
    The best thing I do is place cones along my signs, place multiple cones on the shoulder/middle lane and line them up a good 200 feet from my job site. Sometimes that aint enough and people have died.

    Not on the saddle road but on his way to volcano. My dad was driving home late one night and was nodding off, so he decided to pull on the side of the road and take a quick power nap. He was jolted awake by his car shaking roughly, got out of the car and no one in sight. Of course it was hard to see only by moonlight. He thought he must have imagined it / dreamed it and was going to nod back out; when the car suddenly started shaking again. No one around no earthquakes reported that night. What was it? I wonder if anyone else experienced something similar on the road to volcano coming from Hilo. Really love your videos!!!

    What about the one about the abomination that used to lurk around Puna? The one Pele doesn't like. That one goes after caring hearts, pretends to be a child in need outside houses in the middle of the night to lure people outside their homes. Says his name like a question, "Babi?" I heard um one night just as i lay down in bed. Right when I laid down to sleep, I heard um say, "Babi?" in a grown man's voice trying to make like a baby voice, right on the otherside of the wall where my bed stay and on my side of the bed. I knew from the stories from before that was the abomination, the deceiver, the liar in the dark, messing with me. So, I got up and I chanted H.K. and then I gave um one chance to be Lono cuz I not one abomination myself. Then I heard one scratch on the wall like from a nail on a hand or claw in retreat and then silence. I went sleep. I slept good in fact and woke up feeling refreshed. But, that night, while I was sleeping, my husband said he woke up in the middle of the night because he could hear thunder like a thousand sprinting horses in the heavens coming down the mountain at night, right over our house with flashes of lightning all over and shook our whole house while I lay sleeping peacefully. He said he was so scared. But, I didn't hear or feel that part of the story at all until my husband told me about it in the morning the next day. I do know, that abomination is hunted from the stories of before and must be the heavens was chasing um down. The next day I went outside, was clear and sunny, for look where I heard the scratch and sure enough, had a scratch mark on my wall. But, I not worried cuz, I know the truth. I never did hear anything again after that, and I thank the good lord above for that. Oh how I praise God for that.
    The moral of the story is not to be lured into the bushes or into the dark of night by what you don't even know or by what don't sound or seem right. In my opinion, Hawaii's most haunted is in fact, Hawaii's most hunted abomination. This is a spooky true story with what I can only hope and pray is a happy ending. I wonder if the abomination was transformed into an Ohia tree? I wonder because I don't really know. I do know, Whatever my Ohia trees in my garden started off as, they are certainly loved and welcomed now. Useful as they are to hold my Lono sails and so on...

    That road is definitely an interesting one. One time, I went to Hilo from the Kona side for maybe 4 hours and on the way there, I saw a car that had been abandoned on the side road which I'm assuming was due to some car trouble given how good of a condition it seemed to be in. However, on the way back, it was stripped almost down to the frame. Folks don't mess around over there.

Someone handed it back to him. He also said thank you and continued to work on the tire. Only, my friend was driving a Hw

    I’ve spent many hours out there on saddle road at night. By myself, full moon nights, no moon nights, every phase of moon; for photography. I’ve never seen anything like that, anywhere on BI for that fact. Oahu, I went to a couple spots that gave me the heeby-jeebies and I just left.

    Right at the front of the entrance of the Volcano's National Park gates on the Big Islands. As i was driving, my van's headlights went completely off for about three seconds then turned back on on it's own. It never ever done that before and never again. So i decided to drive slower just in case it decided to go off again. We was going to South Point on the back road where we came across a herd of black cows totally blocking the road. We drove slowly pass the cows. I was driving a Ford E350 van. Being a speeder back then. If my van headlights didn't go out at the Volcanoes gate. We would have plowed right into those cows ❤️✝️ Go figure 🤔 It was Friday the 13, 1:30 am got to see a curtain of fallen star's in the back of the crater as we were driving to kau after lights went out in van. Most beautful spooky night ever 🌺

  • @AuntyLaniLee

    Saddle Road is a shadow of it's former self. It has been upgraded to a smooth, 4 lane highway. The 2013 Hawaii Legislature passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 43 to rename the 41-mile upgraded section of Hawaii Saddle Road to the Senator Daniel K. Inouye Highway. We are fortunate, because it changed the time to travel the road from 6 hours to a little over 2 hours -- 3 hours if you are traveling from Kona. We can now think of going to Hilo as a day trip, rather than a layover.

      4 lanes? For what, like 2 miles of the 51 stretch. It's about 30 miles in 3 lanes and 20 with just 2.
      I've heard stories for days about the old saddle road being one of the deadliest highways in the United States by the 90s. And by the 2000s everyone knew somebody that got hurt or worse on that Hwy

    The last view in your video of the Saddle Rd reminds me of a similar looking road in Upper Michigan. Only the road in MI is surrounded by forest. Many a night in summer you will find people parked along that road hoping to see the Watersmeet Light, also called the Paulding Light(see Wikipedia). Although, the legend surrounding it has supposedly been disproved, many folks still spend all night on that road waiting for sight of it.

We got to the top and dem man up top were like who let you come up but their attitude changed when i got out the jeep and they took pictures for us and gave us a quick crash course of the different mountain tops, said ima kick everyone out then you gotta leave 😂😂🤙 duppy knows who to frighten

    How about the classic story told about an old woman standing on the side of the road in remote places on the big isle? People say they have pulled over and offered her a ride, and the story is she's always wearing old tattered clothing, and has long grey hair etc. You give her a ride, and while driving, suddenly she's just not there anymore!!??? Just vanishes into thin air!!!! It's a classic old Hawaiian tale told! I have 3 friends who say they had this happen to them!!! One was my two friends who had 4 wheeled down road to the sea, and that's a desolate place out in ancient lava flows. There's was really heavy. Said her clothes were so old and tattered, looked like they were a hundred years old!!! And she looked ancient!! And out there? In the middle of nowhere? That one is chicken skin brah!!!! People say she's Pele, and you probably want to be nice to her!!!! You know Milolii, its said somehow upset Pele, and, well the rest is history!!! Yeah, born and raised on Oahu, but I lived on Kauai for 6 years back in the 70's, then moved to kona and lived big island from 79' on!!!! The mana in certain places, especially if you're able to really sense and feel it, is undeniable!!! Around volcano, I always noticed how powerful the energy felt. Especially when Pele was erupting!!!! Remember Pu'u O'o when it would have fountains of lava going up to 2000 ft. In the sky. Its amazing!!!!! If you were close, you can hear it!!!!! Its so heavy! Used to hike in to get close to it!!!! Also the active flows down chain of craters road back in the 80's and right at sunset then as it turns dark, amazing!!!! As a commercial ahi fisherman on the big isle for 30+ years, I remember ika shibi fishing off pohoiki/Kalapana area some nights watching Pele go off and then seeing the orange lava flows coming diwn from up mauka, while pulling big gorilla ahi!!! Ahh yea, big island..... so many awesome memories!!!! Heavy Mana!

      This exact thing happened to my Uncle Harold about 50 years ago. He was coming from Hilo around Hamakua way going to Waimea. He stopped to pick up an old lady, and after a few miles, she wasn't there. Uncle Harold told me she must have wanted to protect him for some reason, and was very thankful for the experience.

      @AuntyLaniLee wow!! When I have been told, by people I know and respect greatly, about an experience they had like this, it just gives me chicken skin!!!!!! Though each story I've heard is at a different location on the big island, they all have common things, like an old lady and giving her a ride, but most notably how suddenly she's just gone, while driving, from the car!!! This has been told, going back to a long time ago, covering generations!!!! Yeah, I'm not surprised!!!!! Love it. Big island mo better.

That was in 1997 and it never happened again. The ti leaves are still there. Aloha nui!

Maybe those chants were welcomed? Anyways, my Kumu & Haku Raylene spoke to the military back then to prevent the expansion of Pohakuloa ... but of course they do whatever they like.

    Both fell asleep in the back of the truck immediately, only to be jolted awake a few moments later to what felt like someone jumping of the tailgate!
