The 52 Most Supernatural Places on Hawaii Island

11/21/2014

A few weeks ago, one of our members wrote an article for a travel magazine consisting of the 52 most supernatural places on the Big Island. We've been allowed to re-post the article in its entirety on our Case Log, with the list arranged in a slightly different order than the original, and including new photos and video.

Q: How many of these places have you heard about, or been brave enough to visit? Leave your comments below.

King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel – Local legend claims that the top floor of this hotel is haunted. People have reported hearing footsteps, chanting, and battle cries. Some even claim to see ancient Hawaiian warrior apparitions. The reason for this haunting seems lie in the fact that this area is where King Kamehameha lived out the end of his life. On the bottom floor of the hotel, in the gallery, there are a row of oil paintings, one being a rendering of Queen Liliuokalani. The unsmiling picture appears to breathe in and out while glaring; leading some to believe the painting itself is haunted.

Saddle Road – Saddle Road is known for its fair share of the supernatural. Similar to Oahu’s “Pork over the Pali” story, legend says if you carry pork over Saddle Road, now called Daniel K. Inouye Highway, your car may break down or you might experience something supernatural. Some people on the island think that if you see a young girl, especially if she is wearing a red dress, it is the spirit of Pele, the goddess of the volcano. People say they have seen a lone hitchhiker on Saddle Road. Legend says if you see her, you should always pick her up.

Hilo Memorial (“Crying Babies”, “Babies Cry”) – In an old hospital in Kaumana, Hilo, the hallways of an old burned down hospital sometimes resound with distant, surreal cries. Years ago, a fire scorched the hospital nursery and there were many victims. The shell of the old hospital building still stands, as do the restless souls of the poor victims who still haunt it to this day.

KRG Investigates - Searching For Pele

Our first major investigation, when KRG was just starting out...inside the Kilauea Caverns of Fire located in Kurtistown, Hawaii in search of Pele, Goddess of fire. We were using a magnetometer, ion detector, temperature gun and night vision cameras in an attempt to capture anything substantial.

We were hired by a production company working for the Travel Channel to explore deep inside these caves, which are the longest lava tubes in the world at 55 miles. We were approximately 5.7 miles in.

Although we didn't end up running in to the Goddess herself, we encountered rocks that moved, strange cold spots, and other unexplained events.
