Encounters - 6

The Old Waimanalo Gym

This story was told to me by my Uncle Mel (God rest his soul). Over fifty something years ago when he was just a teenager, my uncle played quite a bit of basketball. I heard that he was pretty good. There were a lot of organized basketball and volleyball teams, and many games were played at the gym. My uncle told me of a teenage boy (let's call him Billy) who loved the game of basketball. He was a very talented player. Billy attended try outs and made the team. However, Billy had an enlarged heart and needed medical clearance from his doctor. Unfortunately, his doctor told him that he could not play because putting that kind of stress on his heart could kill him. This news broke Billy's heart. One day there was a basketball scrimmage game being played, and Billy begged the coach to play. The coach refused. Billy with tears in his eyes again begged the coach, "Please coach, please let me play just for a little while". The coach felt so sorry for Billy that he finally gave in. He told Billy "okay, but ONLY for a few minutes and that's it. I don't want to get into trouble!” On defense, Billy stole the ball and was driving down the court. He had incredible speed and he left everyone in the dust. Just before he reached the basket to make his layup, he crumpled to the floor. Billy died of a massive heart attack right where he fell. A few weeks had passed and late one night (about 11pm) my uncle and two of his friends were sitting outside of the gym on the concrete steps. The gym closes at 6pm so all the doors were locked and the gym was dark. In fact the whole area is dark because back then there were no street lights. They were talking stories when all of a sudden they heard someone bouncing a basketball...IN THE GYM! When you bounce a basketball on wooden flooring, it makes a very distinctive sound. That's what they were hearing. My uncle and his friends all freaked out and ran away in different directions. My uncle finished the story by telling me something that gave me chicken skin: "Billy really loved the game. He was so good at it. I guess he came back to finish his layup". (By GeeBee)

A Warehouse on the Leeward Side

I have a story that took place the eve of all Hallows Eve this year. It is reported by one of my employees who was in the Leeward area. All employees left work over 24 hours prior and he was the only one there, verified. At around 7:40 p.m. on patrol walking through a warehouse, he reached about halfway when he seen a male wearing blue coveralls, sleeves rolled up, arms dirty, and heavy-duty work gloves, in his fifties walk left to right. The officer calls out to this male thinking was an employee. Male did not acknowledge officer, nor did he speed up his pace to get away. Officer chases this male to try identify him and gets within a few feet behind when the man turns corner into a room, but the officer enters to find room empty. The only exit was a roll-up door that wasn't used (chain steady) with a heavy machinery that blocked door. The officer checked area thinking male was hiding but found no one. The he realized what he had just witnessed, and exits the warehouse. The key part about this is the time, and the fact that the warehouse is not dark. Nice yeah, a full bodied apparition. When I responded on that same night, nothing happened to me, even though tried provoking it, lol.... (Submitted by Anonymous)

My Encounter at Waimanalo

In 2006, I stayed at my friend’s house in Waimanalo. I sleep in the living room while I stay there. In the living room they have two huge glass doors that look out onto their taro patch on top of a small hill. I was staring outside, into the taro patch, when all of a sudden I saw a boy who looked about 5'6, around the age of 12, with shaggy hair and a birth mark on his cheek. He was wearing a suit with a red tie and he was glowing white. 10 seconds after I first spotted him, he was gone and nothing was left but a white mist. The next day I went swimming in the stream near their house. I was going to jump in the shower, I took off my shirt and was about to take off my bathing suit top when I felt a hand with long narrow fingers grab my waist. I jumped and looked to see if there was anyone else in the room with me. Of course, nobody was. The door was locked and windows closed. That night, my room was very cold. I walked outside to get a blanket from the car. As I passed the taro patch, I felt spider webs all over my arms. Nothing was there. As soon as I left the area, the spider webs were gone. These things freaked me out. It's 2011 now and I still remember it like it happened yesterday. You try telling me this isn’t supernatural. (By J.B.)

Pearl Highlands Shopping Center

I used to work as a supervisor for the maintenance crew at Pearl Highlands Shopping Center. I scheduled myself and one of my workers to come in late one night to work on a special project. While we were working, there was a power surge and the chiller (for Sam's Club) went off line. I instructed my worker to go to the rooftop and reset it. To access the rooftop, you have to enter a door between the food court and the property manager's office. You walk down the hallway and there is a door on the left that leads to the stairs to the rooftop. Just before this door there is another hallway that joins in from the right. My worker came back only after a couple of minutes later and he looked really shaken. He told me: "Boss, I didn't reset the chiller. I was walking down the hallway, and I heard a woman sobbing. I looked down the hallway, the one on the right that joins the main hallway, 'cause that's where the sobbing was coming from. I shined the flashlight and I could see all the way down to the end of the hallway, but there was nothing there. The woman's sobbing was getting louder! Then the hairs on my arms and neck started standing up, and I ran out of there. I told him "stop fooling around and go back and reset the chiller!" He refused. So I grab my flashlight and told him to follow me. As we approached the hallway where the 'supposedly' sobbing was coming from, I told my worker to ignore it. We walked right past the hallway and I didn't hear anything. So onwards to the rooftop. My worker went to reset the chiller. While I was waiting, all of a sudden the hairs on my arms and neck started to stand up and I got all chicken skin. It felt like static electricity. My worker finished resetting the chiller, walked up to me, and whispered "I don't like it up here". I agreed and we quickly got out of there. (By GeeBee)

On Da Bus (Spooky Talk)

•One of our favorite past times here in the islands is talk story. People love to talk about dis, dat and the other thing, so it was no surprise to me as I was going home last night, after doing some ghosting and experiencing some strange stuff along the way that the driver on the bus started sharing some scary stuff with me. It was random but again people here love to talk, yeah? With that in mind I will share with you some of the things she told me as we were driving past a cemetery and on into the night. •I was wet and tired seeing as it was raining but by the time I got off the number 4 bus last night I was shivering and it wasn't because as usual on rainy nights the air conditioner is going 240! •The driver was friendly and we were the only ones on the bus so she started talking story with me. It was nice jus small kine stuff and soon we were going back and forth laughing about the most silly things. Until she started talking about ghosts that is. I guess it's because we had just turned around up by Kimo drive side in the real heart of Nuuanu and looking at that huge tree tunnel that goes up to some very haunted places got to her, or just the fact that she lived in the area further down by an old elementary school that had strange goings on I later found out. Whatever the reason the topic came up and I immediately perked up, like one kid sitting around the campfire about to hear some story that would keep him up 'till sunrise. •After I told her that I do paranormal work the stories came out fast and given the chance I would have loved to sit down with her over a plate lunch at some late night joint like Likelike drive inn and listen to her go on for hours on end, but still there was enough there to make me smile and want to share these with you all.•The rest of this narrative will be her telling you about these spooky moments, she had either encountered herself or heard about, and I will do my best to add in some island flavor to it. •"You know Nuuanu get ghosts...right?" I thought about that but before I could give her an answer she started telling me some really spooky stories. Like the ones below. •Down by where I live across from the school is spooky you know? At night my dogs start barking like 2 or 3 in da morning and there are times I wonder, how come? One time I went outside, yeah, for walk my dogs and was about three or so and I'm just waiting for them to do their business, when all of a sudden this old guy jus appears on the curb and I never even see him show up, he was jus there! Oh! I tell you dat when kinda throw me off and he just looks at me and in a sweet voice says…Hello! •Another time I stay outside, and I kid you not, you could hear what sounded like slippers running up my driveway! And nobody was there just the sound of the slippers running up my driveway. I don’t know why but that happened to me. Like I said that place can be spooky at night, and when I was growing up had this old church, one Korean one where part of the parking lot stay at the school and sometimes you could hear them singing away in there, so happy you know? but at night I swear to you that old building would give me chicken skin, it felt like once the place was abandoned that people was still in there not singing dis time but watching me.. Was like that 'till finally they tore the old place down. •Even my brother had scary kine stuff happen to him to! He work down by Hickam side near the sewage plant and one night he and his friend stay working late and they see this little old Japanese man walking around their office. Well you gotta go check dat kine stuff out, right? So they slowly walk over to him to see why he stay there and then just like dat... He was gone! Ho! I tell you that's gotta be scary huh? •Had one other time, same place, Hickam, and my brothers friend stay driving one car, yeah, or was one truck, anyways he driving and my brother see him in there with this Hawaiian man dressed in white coveralls. Later on at one stop sign when his friend when stop for talk to him my brother ask him…. So who was the Hawaiian guy with you? His friend goes…what Hawaiian guy? And my brother is like, you mean you never see him? And his friend says....No... •I have one friend too, she had something happen to her by where she work down by da airport side, near one famous tourist store on Nimitz. One night she sees this white...thing, go rushing up to her and she got really freaked out, yeah? Later on she stay at home and she sleeping when all of a sudden she could feel one pressing sensation on top of her and she couldn't move! I dunno but maybe the two things that when happen is one and the same...what you think? •My sisters too, they fool around with the Ouija board back at my house, and they should never have done that! Because this one night, after using it, they heard one loud banging at the door but when they when go check em out no more anything out there at all! Jus the night. •One other time my sister stay laying in bed in the house and get one window near where she sleep, and she told me, cause she can see into the yard, that she saw one red looking fireball passing by, then again they also hear the marchers of the night going thru our yard too so maybe that’s why, yeah? •She turns and looks at me before I get off the bus...so what you think, Nuuanu get ghosts, yeah? Of course I look back and say...I think so. Pau. (By Phil, the “Obake Hunter”)

One night I was doing the dishes and had this really creepy feeling that some girl ghost was standing right outside my kitchen window, looking at me. I was sure she was there. She was about 12 years old or so, wearing a mid-calf length white dress and she was smiling at me. She had that ugly zombie look! (By Anonymous)

Kitchen Window

While in the drive-thru lane at the Jack in the Box Waipio Gentry, I began to feel weird. After we ordered, we moved up a little, and I saw this dark apparition walking on the sidewalk right past the people at the bus stop. It moved sorta slowly and its posture was depressed looking, to say that 'he' was a depressed spirit. Only I saw it. (By Anonymous)

Jack in the Box

I was in my early twenties in 1975, and was alone in the car, heading eastbound on H1 to Kalihi one Friday night after a party in Aiea. As the old Dodge took the slow curve of the Likelike cutoff at the Kalihi YMCA, I looked over my right shoulder to merge lanes, when I suddenly saw the apparition of a young local woman in a short aloha-print dress sitting in the right rear seat of the car, looking out the window! She remained there for perhaps 5 seconds or so before she turned to look at me. She had a surprised look in her face before she vanished before my eyes! I pulled over in front of Bishop Museum to try to gather my stunned thoughts. I was totally sober (had only drank a Pepsi that night) Has anyone else had that experience near the Kalihi YMCA?

Back Seat Passenger

Not long ago on our way to work one early in the morning on Fort Weaver had an SUV in front us at the traffic light. We was waiting for the light to turn green. In the back of the SUV only I saw faces of small kids in the back of the SUV looking at me and smiling. I was close enough behind the SUV to know they were ghosts because you could see right through them! Nobody else in my car saw anything only me. Chicken skin early in the morning. (By Anonymous)

Fort Weaver Kids

Most of my experiences happened many years ago. However, I have a very recent one to share. My uncle Mel passed away a few years ago, and I still have possession of the urn containing his ashes. This event occurred January of last year (2011). Late one night everyone in my family was asleep except me. I was watching a program on the History Channel, when all of a sudden I see out of the corner of my right eye a man with black hair wearing a long sleeved green colored shirt appear at the end of the hallway and walk into the main bedroom. This figure was semi-transparent, and I noted that his shirt was kind of shimmering or shiny. I got up from the couch and looked into the bedroom. I did not sense any cold spots or energy that gives you 'chicken skin'. I did not feel threatened, so I shrugged it off. During the week, I saw the exact same apparition two more times, and I realized I was seeing an apparition of my uncle. I say this only because of the 'shimmering' shirt. The last time time I saw my uncle was at a family party and he was wearing an emerald colored long sleeved shirt. There's no way you could have missed that shirt because it was shiny and probably made out of polyester. One day during a conversation I was having with my oldest son, I mentioned that I may have seen a ghost in our home. I did not mention anything about his hair or shirt. My youngest son (who was 7 years old at that time) overheard us talking and interrupted us saying outloud, "I saw a man with a long sleeve green shirt walk into the bedroom, and his shirt was really shiny! At this point I verbally validated my youngest son's statement, and I noticed my oldest son's arms...he had 'chicken skin'. He was not happy to hear any of this. Don't ask me how I know this, but I firmly believe my uncle was telling me he wanted to placed in a niche at a cemetary, instead of being placed on a shelf. Currently, I am planning to purchase a niche for him. (By GeeBee)

Uncle Mel

Aloha Haunted Hawaii. My story occurred in the main royal palace in downtown Honolulu in November of 2010. My husband and I were on a month long stay in the islands and had decided that day to visit the royal palace. We had missed the guided tours so we were taking the self-guided tour of the palace, and I was up on the 2nd floor, and as luck would have it there were very few people. So few, in fact, it dwindled down to myself and the palace docent standing in the king’s library that were the only two people on the 2nd floor, when all of a sudden with my guide tape recorder turned off and ear plugs laying on my shoulders, I heard the soft sweet sounds of bells ringing. I was so startled that I started to wander all over the 2nd floor looking for the source of the bells ringing, which I thought was a clock. So back and forth, and back and forth I go, searching; so much so the docent in the library calls out to me, “Can I help you? Is something wrong?” I replied, “Yes, where is the clock with the bells that was just ringing? I heard it just as plain as day. I can’t find the source.” She smiled and drew nearer to me. “Sweetheart,” she says, “what did you hear exactly?” “Well it sounded like someone ringing a small hand bell 3 times in a row.” She smiled and said, “You have been honored by the spirits. It was the servants calling the royal family to their meals!” I was in awe and I felt humbled that the spirits chose me to communicate with. (By D. Biron)
