Why is Honolulu So Haunted?
The Hawaiian Islands are one of the most secluded places in the world. The islands sit nearly 3,000 from the rest of the United States, protected from the infectious rest of the country until 1778, when Europeans encroached on the islands to claim them for themselves.
Once upon a time, Hawaii was torn by warring chiefdoms that competed for limited resources. Following fifteen years of bloody battles, King Kamehameha united the separate islands of Hawai’i, O’ahu, Maui, Moloka’i, and Lana’i into one kingdom in 1795. In 1810, Kaua’i and Ni’ihau joined the kingdom voluntarily to avoid any additional bloodshed.
Eighty years later, the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy caused the ancient culture to suffer under American rule. Bloody battles ensued, taking out Chiefs and Chiefesses from the royal bloodline. These royal deaths resulted in some of the ghosts that roam the streets today.
Along with the American settlers came diseases like the Bubonic Plague in the 1900s. All these deaths resulted in settlers’ burial grounds and unmarked graves. The graves were disturbed along the way leaving the spirits restless, hanging around in the afterlife. With the native practices and superstitious beliefs of the island people, there are numerous legends of curses and mysteries that haunt the everyday life of the islanders.
THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN HONOLULU, HI
IOLANI PALACE
The Iolani Palace is a majestic, sprawling estate of columns, stairs, and gardens located in the heart of Honolulu. Built in 1882, the Palace would also become home to the last King and Queen of the islands, Kalakaua and the famous Liliʻuokalani.
At the beginning of the annexation and occupation of Hawaii in 1895, Queen Liliʻuokalani 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 Liliʻuokalani’s morose yet proud spirit still wanders the halls of Iolani, standing at the window of her bedroom, surveying her kingdom.
ATLAS INSURANCE
The Atlas Insurance building on Merchant St. has had multiple reports of haunted activity. Mainly, a grieving woman weeps and wanders the halls, and Karaoke Room #2 always receives noise and physical disturbance complaints. You’d never guess it from the sleek modern exterior, but the Atlas Insurance building teems with old ghosts.
KAWAIAHA'O CHURCH
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. Locals say to drop to the ground and bow your head in deference as they pass, or else find out what happens if they see you.
