The Mo'o. In Hawaiian mythology, "moʻo" refers to shapeshifting lizard or dragon-like spirits, often female, that are powerful guardians of water sources like streams, waterfalls, and ponds. They are known for their fierce protection of these areas and their ability to shapeshift into beautiful women. Moʻo are also associated with genealogy and the concept of lineage, with their interlocking bones seen as symbolic of a sacred family line. While some Moʻo are seen as benevolent protectors of their domains, others can be fierce and even dangerous, particularly if their territory or kapu (sacred rules) are violated. Have you've heard of this creature?

Pele's anger never stops at taking the lands nature resources. According to Hawaiian legend, you should avoid bringing pork over the Pali Highway on Oahu. This is because the pig god Kamapua'a and the volcano goddess Pele had a tumultuous relationship, and carrying pork (Kamapua'a's form) into Pele's territory (the leeward side of the island) is said to anger her. Some believe this can lead to car trouble, strange occurrences, or even ghostly encounters. Pele and Kamapua'a, a half-man, half-pig demigod, had a romance that ended badly. They agreed not to cross each other's paths. There are other Hawaiian superstitions and legends associated with the Pali, such as the presence of Menehune, and the story of Hi'iaka, Pele's sister. But sounds to me more like a relationship squabble and her getting angry when mentioned. Have you ever heard of this tale?

The Love Story of Naupaka. The Naupaka flower legend tells the story of two lovers, Naupaka and Kaui, who were forbidden to be together. To symbolize their enduring love despite separation, Naupaka tore a flower in half, giving one half to Kaui and keeping the other. These halves represent the two types of Naupaka flowers: Naupaka Kahakai (beach Naupaka) and Naupaka Kuahiwi (mountain Naupaka). When the two halves are joined, they form a complete flower, symbolizing the lovers' potential reunion. More so its a symbol of two loves that come together when the flower is full. Is this a lovely tale?

Morgan's Corner. is widely considered one of the most haunted locations in Honolulu. Long before it became one of the most talked-about haunted places in Honolulu, Morgan's Corner was just a sharp bend near the old Morgan estate. But after hundreds of crashes and multiple fatalities, the name took on a darker meaning. Today, those who pass the curve speak of eerie chicken skin and chilling whispers—signs that something from the past still lingers in this pocket of supernatural Honolulu. Whether the result of restless spirits or a place cursed by tragedy, Morgan's Corner has earned its place among the most notorious Hawaiian hauntings. As one of the spookiest roadways in Hawaii, it continues to draw the curious and the brave. Like most, the stories are countless and I will provide a link here to the most famous ones. But have you've been around this stretch of road? https://www.mysteries-of-hawaii.com/blog/morgans-corner

The Ghosts of the USS Arizona. The USS Arizona, a site of immense historical significance and tragedy at Pearl Harbor, is believed by some to be haunted by the spirits of those who perished during the attack. Visitors and staff have reported various paranormal experiences, including ghostly noises, apparitions, and the lingering scent of burning. These phenomena are often attributed to the souls of the over 1,100 sailors and Marines who died when the ship was bombed and sunk on December 7, 1941. Some have described the smell of burning, as well as the feeling of being touched or experiencing a sudden drop in temperature. One particular spirit, reportedly named "Charley," is known for switching on lights, turning on faucets, and swinging heavy doors, sometimes accompanied by the jingle of keys. Whether or not you believe in spirits or legends. Have you've been to this historical site to honor the fallen?
