Encounters - 6

I just happened to come across this site and saw the posting about the Halawa/Borchers Gate entrance to the Makalapa Compound. I am a former Marine and was stationed at the Marine Barracks on Pearl Harbor from Dec. 1990 to Feb. 1993. I can tell you, that I have personally witnessed some paranormal activity. First, let me fill in a few gaps in the information that you have. When I arrived at the Marine Barracks, I was tasked with pulling security guard duty at the Makalapa Compound. At the time, L.Cpl Borchers was murdered about six months before I was stationed there. But many of the Marines, who were on post when he was murdered, were still stationed at the Barracks. This included my Sergeant of the Guard (SOG), who happened to be L.Cpl Borchers Corporal of the Guard (COG) at the time of his death. This same COG heard the gunshots and found him dead. I have personally read the entries in his COG log book of that day. Not to mention, Marines from the Barracks stood by at the murder trial of Wendell Pichay, the man responsible for L.Cpl Borchers’ death. At the time of L.Cpl Borchers’ murder, Pichay and his cousin were terrorizing the local area with burglaries and robberies. At the time of his murder, there were no suspects. No leads. Nothing. The police got lucky when they found Pichay and his cousin standing behind a closed business, taking a leak. Pichay’s cousin dimmed Pichay out. Not to mention they were armed when they were found. This included an AK-47. It's funny you should mention the ghost car. That damn car has been terrorizing the Makalapa Gate for years. The car pulls off to the shoulder of the road with the lights off, waits for a couple of minutes, then pulls back onto Kamehameha Highway and takes off heading toward Pearl City. I had forgotten this until you reminded me. I think I might have some explanation for this phenomenon, other than a lost motorist. Pichay's cousin dropped Pichay off near the intersection of Kamehameha Highway and Radford Drive. Pichay jumped the fence and walked the fence line paralleling Kamehameha Highway until he reached the Halawa Gate. Pichay’s cousin drove back and forth on Kamehameha Highway, waiting for Pichay. Pichay’s intent was to steal L.Cpl Borchers’ government issued a .45 Caliber handgun. Pichay ambushed L.Cpl Borchers and ran to Kamehameha Highway where he was picked up by Pichay’s cousin, whom I believe happened to be waiting for him outside the gate with his lights off. You probably don't know, but the gate at that time of the murder was not as it was when I was there standing post. It was wooded and unclear. Since his death, the government decided to clear out some trees, put the whole gate area under video surveillance, and making the post a two-man post between 6pm and 6am. When Borchers was alive, he used to make regular phone calls to his girlfriend from a certain telephone in the Pacific Fleet Headquarters Building. It just so happens that this building has its own paranormal activity. This building happens to be sitting on top of a tunnel used as the makeshift morgue to those who died during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The building is alarmed and the alarms are monitored. A sentry walks the building at night. The basement offices are the only ones that are active after dark. The remainder of the building is closed off. One of the jobs of the walking sentry is to check the locked and alarmed doors, and document the checks in a log book. I cannot tell you how many times the entry door to where Borchers use to call his girlfriend would be physically checked and found to be locked, only to later have the alarm go off signifying that it was unlocked. When the Sentry checked, it was unlocked. No one had come or gone out of that room. This was a regular occurrence. It's funny to see that the days that it occurred, coincided with Borchers set duty schedule. This was completely separate of any of the other paranormal activity. Footsteps walking the outside walkways and no one's there. Footsteps, splashes, per se, on the walkways like someone was walking in the rain. Even thought the walkways were dry. Doors that were shut and locked were found later to be open and unlocked. Even after being physically checked every half-hour to an hour. Even the alarmed ones. Over time, the Marines who were assigned to the Marine Barracks when Borchers was killed moved on to other duty stations. By the time it was over, there were only two of us that new the intimate details of the murder. We got a new SOG and he did not believe any of the ghost stories. That was until a couple of the Marines got the bright idea of taking a Ouija board up to the room where Borchers made his phone calls. I believe that a Ouija board is a portal to hell. I wanted nothing to do with their impromptu investigation. They went up there with a list of questions pertaining to Borchers, written by the SOG. Even the SOG didn't even know the answers to the questions that he was asking. The new Marines did not know any of the answers to these questions prior to their little session, but came back with all of the answers. There was no way that they could have found out the answers to their questions by any other means. Not only did the spirit whom they got the answers from identify itself as Borchers, but they happened to come across a few other spirits that they wished that they had not. They were legitimately scared when they returned. They got rid of the board. I read somewhere online (possibly here) about the "Ninja" ghost of Makalapa Gate. It's funny that someone named it since I was stationed there. But the name is quite appropriate. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one, not to mention three other people on duty at the time, which has experienced this entity. At the time, I was the COG. The four of us not only witnessed this thing, but literally chased it around the Pacific Fleet Headquarters for 30 minutes, jumping off the Makalapa Drive side guard shack roof, and running from Makalapa Drive and then, to what is now known as Luapele Drive. At the time I was there, this use to be a large field. Because it was now out of the building and onto the compound, it causing me to have to shut the entire compound down. It moved quickly, it was able to jump from point to point, and made no noise. One of the Marines was so scared that he locked himself in his guard shack and refused to go back on post. I had to relieve him and put another Marine in his place. Mind you, that this Marine was fully armed with an M16. This entire event was investigated and documented, but I'm sure it was buried somewhere. So that's my stories, told to the best of my abilities with no embellishment. (By Marine Mike)

Pearl Harbor Haunts

Back in the day, few of my friends and I used to go night diving till really late at night. One night, we went night diving very close to the resort on the North Shore. It was around 2:30 a.m. and we were walking on the beach's shore. It was dark, and we felt something was following behind us. It felt like a big presence. When that presence was close behind us, we turned around to see this huge black cloud-like wall that went right through us as it passed us! Then suddenly it was gone. We don't know what that was, but it sure frightened us at the time. That was surely the last time we ever went night diving down there. (By Blayne)

My Graveyard Experience

When I was in high school, I accompanied my mother to Oahu Cemetery in Nuuanu to look for one of her relative's grave that she hadn't visited for many years. And because she hadn't visited for many years, she couldn't remember where the grave was or what area, just that it was at that cemetery. So we walked around the cemetery in search of, I think it was her aunty's grave, to no avail. So said let's just go already. I asked, "What do you want me to do with these flowers?" She said to just pick a grave and put the flowers there. So as we slowly walked around one more round, I walked around to see which grave I should put the flowers on. Then I came across this old grave. It was a baby's grave, and I thought, "Poor thing..." and somehow knew inside me that this grave wasn't visited for many, many years. So I placed the flowers on that baby's grace and then we went home. Later that night around 8:30, I had just gotten into bed, and right outside my bedroom window, I clearly heard a baby crying. There was no mistake about that. There are no neighbors in our backyard, let alone any of our neighbors with an infant child. And that's just what it sounded like. An "infant" child. I wasn't afraid. I just felt honored, feeling the spirit of the baby had probably came to express its gratitude. (By Anonymous)

GOT A GHOSTSTORY?

The Pinbox Camera

I spent my high school years at Pearl City High where I had taken a photography class where we learned how to make a pinbox camera and develop our own pictures. Well one day after making our pinbox cameras, we had to go outside and try our camera by taking a picture of something. Well one of my classmates took a picture of one of the stairwells. When that picture was developed, everyone was stunned to see what showed up in the photo... an unmistakable face of a little girl! And I'm sure you know that pinbox cameras are like Polaroids... no negatives. Our teacher kept that photo posted in that photography class for years to come. (By K.H.)

Verona Village in Ewa

I read about other people's experiences in Ewa near the plantation area and it's something I can relate to because I live in Ewa and sometimes we take the short cut to Kapolei passing the plantation and through Verona Village, and it always makes me feel like there's spirits walking around. It's a nice and clean area though but feels really creepy at night. (By Anonymous)

Under the Plumeria Tree

A long time ago, my family and I used to live near Kahala when the kids was little and to get to our house, you had to walk past the house in the front. As you walk to (or from) our house there was a plumeria tree on the side of the path. Well one day I was going to work one early morning when it was a little dark, walking from the house to my car, and wow, it stunned me to see a shadowy apparition of a man standing under the plumeria tree, just standing there, just watching me. I tell you, I wanted to run but my "macho man" personality back in those days kept me walking as if I wasn't scared, but man, I will admit, that was one of the scariest things I seen in my time!

Halawa Prison

I never had an experience with ghosts before, except this one time. I had to go to Halawa prison on business. I waited in a room and nobody else was there but me. After few minutes, I started feeling people standing behind me and on the side of me, looking at me. Naturally I turned around to see but nobody was there. I couldn't shake the feeling how strong and real it felt. If that wasn't enough, I started hearing them whispering! I quickly left the room and waited outside the room. Sure did scare the sh*t out of me. (By Anonymous)
