Hawaii's Most Haunted - Waha‘ula Heiau
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.พ. 2024
- Arriving from the far-off land known to Hawaiians as Kahiki, the high priest, Pā‘ao, brought with him a new religion and had a heiau built on the highest ground available along this part of the Puna coast. Constructed around the 13th century, this heiau changed the way Hawai‘i’s ruling class worshipped. Once this ground was so sacred, so full of mana, that no commoner and no woman, regardless of rank, could approach the heiau. Man became the principal sacrifice while the kahuna and the ali‘i communed with the gods within its walls. On this episode of Hawai‘i’s Most Haunted, we learn about Waha‘ula Heiau on Hawai‘i Island.

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 had a terrifying experience at this heiau. It was in the 80s and I had never felt this anxiety before. It was like I entered a dead zone. I was walking along the pathway there with the noise of the kamakani rattling the palms, birds chirping and surf crashing on the lava rocks vibrating the area. I suddenly felt that someone was walking behind me, I could hear their footsteps when it dawned on me except for that, there was no noise. I ran heading for the parking lot like the hounds of hell were chasing me. When I hit the lot where my friends were waiting for me I literally was in a state. I don’t suffer from anxiety and I am a very practicle person however to this day the experience I had was inexplicable and I hadn’t thought of any of this until this video. I knew it was an heiau, I knew it was a sacred place however I didn’t know its particular history and now at least I understand what happened to me.
Waha'ula Heiau was one of my favorite hikes for all the mana and history it held. I had many "chicken skin" experiences there on the beautiful Puna coast and still mourn its loss. Although Pele covered the heiau, there is still a lot of power in that area.
Having my morning coffee with Hawaiis Most Haunted.I bet my day will be scarier than todays story😉Love ❤ this channel.
How interesting that this comes up in my feed today. Just yesterday I was telling my son about my good old days camping at Ka'moa'moa campground and giving blessings at Waha'Ula Heiau before midnight adventures with Pele who was busy ravaging Royal gardens at the time...Aloha Akua Hawaii!
As a kid (non-Hawaiian Caucasian) living in Hawaii, I always felt a sense of dread. At the time I didn't understand the significance of the heiau or the Hawaiian traditions. I wish I could have learned.
We were told never to set foot on Wahaʻula by my kupuna because of the kapu ʻenaʻena there. We have a family story that an ancestor, who was an aliʻi, who walked through the smoke. His rank was not able to save him, but he was able to make it to Puʻu Hōnaunau and was able to escape the kapu. Ever since then our family were kapu to going near Wahaʻula.
My tutu wahine Kalanikaapau was the daughter of hewahewanui who was a descendant of paao. I grew up in the area and my grandfather was born on kumakaula Heiau in kaimu. I would always go to wahaula heiau with my dad when I was a Keiki. My favorite place to be in all of the world.
Pele was here way before Pā’ao makes sense she wanted it back
I love Big Island 🏝️ live there 2 years only and move back home. Love this so much and for “Bob Crane”, he like “F” around and find out so that’s on him for doing such heinous act. 😮☺️☺️
Any areas thats sacred healing and positive.
More videos on Maui pls
My children and I visited there when they were very little. My b children felt that we were not alone, but also felt very protected while we were there.
It is amazing that only descendants of the Ali'i have survived. No commoners.
Thank you.
Very fascinating. My niece lives on the big island.
Unco where is the heiau located. I found kaunaoa at two different spots in kalapana. Is that where it is?
I lived in Kona in the 80's. Did you ever visit there before Pele destroyed it? In English it means red mouth because they clubbed their sacrificial victims in the back of the head and blood shot out of their mouths. I called it the place of bad juju. It was a tourist site with a visitors center and a friend of mine who worked at Volcano park invited me to go there. Neither of us knew the history before we got there. I had visited other heiaus and never felt anything bad until Waha'ula. When we started to go in, I felt this sickening feeling. It was a really well-preserved site but really creepy.
Yessah
I was riding my bike pass this construction site and i heard ah voice said they buried me alive. So i got off my bike just to stand and feel the energy . Then out of no where the construction crew pulled up and i can tell they didn't want me their as if i was going find the body or something...
Ho I just herd about the story about the guy falling threw the roof on to the heiau from some random video on TH-cam
Pili was a Demi-God in Samoa. Said to be son of Tagaloa. Is this the same one? Sorry Pa'ao Tahiti, and, Oro the bloodthirsty one from that area.
Kahele that's my bloodline
Brah I been waiting fo a new video to drop fo ekolu months. Hook me up already . All dis waiting I no can brah 😅
I would subscribe but you over use the word "haunted" until it loses all meaning and becomes a bland word in your vocabulary that says nothing.
Not EVERYTHING is haunted.
In fact, almost NOTHING is haunted at all anywhere.
So to claim ALL OF HAWAII (where I live btw) is haunted is pure ignorance and foolishness.
The title of the series is "Hawaii's Most Haunted," and in the video, the word "haunted" is said exactly twice in the introduction. But okay.
@@MysteriesofHawaii yet it's all I read on yer videos titles.
Haunted this and haunted that.
I'm trying to be intellectually stimulated here bud.
Not bored by 1000 haunted video titles and topics.
@@progressivehardindustrialslug It's a spiritual thing. Haole would never understand!
@@_.Marz._ WOW. Default to empty insults.
My Father and Grandparents were in Pearl Harbour when it was bombed. Where were yours?
Portuguese can't be How-Leez anyway Bra-derp.
Nice try Cracker! Lmao.
@@progressivehardindustrialslughmmmm it’s literally a TH-cam channel about haunted areas with our Moolelo throughout the islands.
You say you don’t subscribe. But you certainly take an inordinate amount of time complaining about the word “HAUNTED” in a TH-cam channel LITERALLY using that word in its title.
Should he call it what he does and then talk about camping at Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens? Or maybe he could talk about where to shop at Ala Moana?
NO, lolo. He’s going to talk about HAUNTED places. Don’t like it? Go somewhere else and take your pilau with you
