Hawaii’s history is filled with restless spirits. Constant tribal warfare, ancient rituals, and human sacrifices mean that Honolulu is no stranger to the passions of people who struggle for power. The island’s history is marked by constant changes in rulers.
Honolulu Ghosts invites you to learn the traces of Hawaii’s unique past, visible through the ghosts of the many who died before their time and are tied to the land. Join our ghost tour today to see historic Honolulu in all its otherworldly glory.
Iolani Palace
The Iolani Palace is a majestic, sprawling estate of columns, stairs, and gardens located in the heart of Honolulu. Constructed in 1882, the Palace would also become home to the last King and Queen of the islands, Kalakaua, and the famous Lili’uokalani. At the beginning of the annexation and occupation of Hawaii in 1895, Queen Lili’uokalani was barred in her palace bedroom for eight months due to the belief she was hiding knowledge of a revolutionary attempt to resist the U.S. The story goes that Lili’uokalani’s morose yet proud still wanders the halls of Iolani, standing at the window of her bedroom, surveying her kingdom.
The Hawaii State Capitol in Honolulu, constructed in 1969, stands as a symbol of the state’s modern governance and deep cultural heritage. Designed to reflect the natural beauty of the islands, it also reflects the deep reverence held for the spirits in the islands. Once a Hawaiian burial site, these restless figures from the state’s turbulent past now stalk the night.
Locals whisper that this slate-gray stone church gets visitations from one of O’ahu’s most infamous apparitions: the Night Marchers. On moonless nights, when the tide is ever so high, a team of ancient soldiers is said to be heard and seen marching down from the groves above the church. They carry spears and wear protective gear. Drop to the ground and bow your head in deference as they pass, or else.
From unmarked graves to human sacrifice, executions, and deadly diseases, Hawaii has a past much darker than the Aloha spirit suggests. The cultural clash of modern and ancient Hawaii has caused eruptions of pain and passion, which have left their marks on Honolulu’s buildings and streets. Walk the palm-lined streets named after the ghosts that haunt them. Honolulu Haunts takes you through the historic downtown district of Hawaii while we educate you on the culture and events that created Hawaii as we know it today.
Captain James Cook and those who came after him brought foreign disease, change, and the modern world to the isolated island Kingdom. Learn how many of the spirits that roam the city simply look to protect their sacred land and watch over their people. Do you hear drums? Those could be Night Marchers, dead guardians of high chiefs and priestesses. Their torches and conch shells announce their coming, and a curse falls on anyone who dares to look them in the eye.
Many believe the islands of Hawaii were created in a battle between Pele, goddess of fire, and her older sister, Namaka, goddess of the sea. Is is any wonder that an island chain created in battle holds many legends and beings that defy mainland expectations? From Mo’o water guardians to industrious mythological dwarf people, the Menehune, Hawaii, is filled with mystical creatures that go beyond the narrow vision of Western beliefs. Discover the slew of otherworldly wonders awaiting you with Honolulu Ghosts.
