Other Experiences - 2

This occurred back in the day (the summer of 1975 to be precise). My friend Geoff picked me up in his car, and we decided to watch a movie at the Waialae Drive-In. It was about 8pm when Geoff parked his car on the upper area (towards the homes at the back of the drive-in). We got out and walked to the concession stand. We bought our snacks and sodas and went back to the car. While we were watching the movie, we noticed that there was no breeze and it was getting really hot in the car. So Geoff opened his driver's side door, and I opened the passenger's door. At that point we lost interest in the movie and our conversation turned to the "Mujina" (the ghost of a woman without a face that's supposed to haunt the women's restroom at the Waialae Drive-In). I turned to say something to Geoff, and that's when I saw it! It was outside of Geoff's door, just behind his head and a little to the right. It was a big black head with horns, and black eyes staring right at me. I was looking at this thing while at the same time Geoff noticed that my eyes were bugging and looking past him. Just as he turned to his left to see this thing, I yelled because I was so freaked out! Geoff saw this thing at the very moment I yelled, and he was so startled that he jumped out of his seat and hit his head on the roof of the car. We were both leaning away towards the passenger door, when we gathered our wits and got a good look at this thing! It was a huge black Great Dane...a big dog! I've seen Great Danes before, but this one was REALLY big. It probably belonged to one of the families that lived near by, and they just let it loose to cruise. It sure scared the heck out of us! Then the laughter began. Not only from me and Geoff, but also from the people that were parked around us! (By GeeBee)

The Hearse

The Hearse

This experience is really weird. I lived in an apartment on the second floor and very late one night around 2 or 3 o'clock, I woke up like one can normally do during the night. I don't know why but I looked out the window and saw a black hearse had just pulled up right below my window! I was really scared and didn't know what to think, other than I know I wasn't dreaming! I thought to myself, did it come for me? Am I going to die soon? I was really scared. The good news is that was years ago and I'm still alive. Why I saw that beats me and even though that took place a long time ago, I still wonder. (By Anonymous)

A cam operator saw the bush moving and reportedly saw hands at the base, dispatched an officer to check, on arrival officer saw nothing, cam operator saw this image on the security monitor after the officer left: At the same mall, on cam they witnessed a moth man type phenomenon, wasn't a insect because on replay, and close up they saw a torso, and extremities. Another report is of whistling at officers in the rear of the center where "no one has access". In the food court at night they hear voices of males, females, and children. The cam operator reported seeing a guy sitting at a table after hours, a officer checks while operator sees male, but no ones there. In a secure corridor apparitions are seen flowing through the corridor and entering staff restrooms. Again, these are after hours where no one but security is present, and VERIFIED. (By Anonymous)

At an Unidentified Shopping Mall

At an Unidentified Shopping Mall

One night it was just me, my baby daughter, and my mom home. We were in the living room watching TV. I was sitting on the couch and my mom was standing just about 3 feet away from where I was, rocking my newborn daughter to sleep. Then out of the blue, to my right I heard my friend's voice call my name, "Lorie!" It sounded like she was right in the room with us, on my right. My natural reflex made me automatically turn my head to look but of course nobody was there. I said, "Mom, did you hear that?" She said, "Hear what?" I explained what happened, but she didn't hear anything. SO strange! It kinda freaked me out too because I heard people say, if you hear a ghost calling your name, don't answer because it's the devil calling you. (By Lorie)

Calling My Name

Calling My Name

Oh my god, I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one who experienced "a hearse" after reading someone's story about one. Mine was pretty much the same experience. I live on the third floor of an apartment building and if you look outside you can see the street, and I don't know if it was a dream but I don't think so because it was so real where I looked out the window and as I did, I wondered why I was until I saw a white kind of old fashioned hearse pull up right below the window I was looking out. It didn't do anything and nobody got out. It just stayed there. I freaked out and ran to bed, and that's the last I remember! (By Stephie)

Just Lying on my Bed

Just Lying on my Bed

This took place one night when I was just cruising and just lying on my bed. I don't know how long I was lying there but I started feeling like I was floating and next thing I knew, I could see myself lying on the bed below! Then I felt this sensation like I was being drawn somewhere then I found myself in this house with people socializing and having a good time. I didn't recognize anybody. I didn't know where I was or anything. Next thing I was back in my own body, lying on my bed. I told a co-worker the next day and she said sounds like I had an out-of-body experience! (By Anonymous)

Footsteps On the Roof

Footsteps On the Roof

Awesome website. I had a freaky incident happened to me around 2 months go where I went to bed one night, was only around 10 at night. Just lying in bed I know I didn’t fall asleep yet cause I just went to bed maybe 10 minutes prior when all of a sudden I heard as if somebody jumped on the roof then started walking around. I swear it was footsteps walking on the roof. I couldn’t think how that could be because no more trees or anything remotely close to the house where somebody could climb up and jump on the roof. No way I thought of that being paranormal. I got out of bed and went around the house outside thinking maybe a burglar or somebody went up there using a ladder (though I don’t have a ladder). No ladder anywhere. I actually then went across the street and stood on my neighbor’s wall to try see. I can see little more than half of the roof cause our street is on a slope but NOBODY was there. Went back inside, never heard it again since. I never even experienced anything like this before. Very strange. (By M.J.)

It is really strange, hearing what so much sounds like someone walking on your roof. I can't speak for anyone besides myself, but I've experienced footsteps on the roof too. In my experience, I was in the midst of a spiritual experience, and maybe about half hour after going to bed, I felt, then 'saw' a male spirit in dark clothing coming toward my house. Then I clearly heard him 'land' on my roof and walked around for a bit, then it stopped. It was quite an experience when - from one angle - you're physically thinking how can that happen when the roof is so high and slanted, and there's nothing around for someone to jump off from and land itself on the roof, let alone walk around so easily from the back end of the house above my room then several steps toward the front. It didn't sound like someone 'jumped' on the roof either. As I noted, it sounded like someone 'landed' on the roof. While it is not impossible that someone may have been hand gliding or perhaps parachuting from a plane and landing on the roof of a home, after hearing someone walking around for a bit then stop short, can definitely make for a strange experience, especially because no one got off the roof either. Well...not anyone physical, that is. (By L.L.)

Footsteps On the Roof? YES!

This is another story my father shared with me from long ago and since Hawaii is known like other places in the world to pass their stories along from generation to generation and person to person I thought it would be appropriate to do the same here and even more so as the Halloween season moves right along. For those of you who don't know a Kapre is a legendary creature or spirit like demon of Filipino folklore who for the most part inhabits trees. They are said to be of huge stature and from what I read their height does vary. They can also be tricksters and have been known to lead people astray up in the vast mountainous regions of the Philippines which have many islands. Yet perhaps one of the most terrifying traits these gigantic beings are known for is their love of peeling the skin off of men. For what reason it is not known and to be honest I myself don't ever want to find out. The Philippines is a fascinating place and their many spirits and monsters like the vampiric Aswangs and Kapre are to be feared. Hawaii is known for the multi cultural exchanges of ideas and customs, foods, belief systems, and also the ghosts and entities who followed these people from their original homelands to settle here in the Hawaiian islands. As it is a melting pot for people so too is it for these uncanny beings from places far away. Here then a short but unsettling story of one of these unknown creatures who travel deep into the evening raising the hair on the back of your arms and neck if you should have the misfortune of encountering them for yourselves. One night a few of my father's friends are gathered around having a few drinks and talking story outside. It was pretty much a beautiful calm evening and as the hours wore on it got more and more quiet around them. I need to note they were sitting near the roadside and even the traffic now is sparse save for the occasional late night traveler heading out to some mysterious destination or other. All of a sudden as if the air itself got transformed in a blink of an eye one by one the men who by now are feeling pretty damn good from the beers they had feel a pair of eyes staring at them. The funny thing though is they couldn't quite make out where this feeling is coming from. The feeling intensifies and by now each person is looking around in the still night time darkness wondering what in the world is going on. Well this goes on for a bit until from out of nowhere they hear the sound of someone laughing sounding greatly amused. A cold feeling circulates thru out the men there and it must have felt like a goose had not only walked over their graves but paused upon it. The laughter gets louder and finally they have the courage to look towards that sound which by the way...was coming from above them. They all look up and in front of them is this telephone pole and leaning down peering at them next to it is what they described as this very...big...dark...man. Everyone freezes and the buzz from their night of not only merry making but the beer they all had dissipates and if I was there I would have probably felt like a child in my bed looking at my bedroom closet and seeing scary looking shapes shifting around in there waiting to come out at any moment. This huge man is the source of the laughter and he is smoking a very large cigar just staring at them all and laughing away like they were the funniest thing in the world to have come across. None of the people there that evening felt the same way. They were more than likely trapped in a net of fear squirming inside of their hearts and minds struggling for a way to understand what they were seeing. The rest is easy to figure out they all got the hell out of there and more than likely never returned to that place to drink...again. Here is another trait of the Kapre I did not mention earlier. They love to smoke cigars and often times this along with their foul smell is what gets the unsuspecting victim or victims’ attention. Unfortunately for these men they were too caught up in what they were doing to have taken notice. Not until it was much too late and a legendary figure from another country was upon them. As a child when the island was a lot different in landscape we used to go driving along country roads at night and for some reason or other those old telephone poles leaning this way and that would send shivers up and down my body. Perhaps it's because you never can tell what will emerge from behind them or in this case just appear next to one. Thank you as always for reading and I leave you with these final words. Love life. Enjoy it with friends. But be aware of where you do it. After all there could be someone else laughing with you all there that night. Someone that wasn't invited. Pau. (By the "Obake Hunter")

Here There Be Giants(Kapre Sighting in the Islands)

Here There Be Giants(Kapre Sighting in the Islands)

It's strange that when I read this story by the Obake Hunter, I recalled something that occurred back in 1970. I spent the summer at my mom's auntie's house in Waipahu (her house was located above the old park). All of the kids that I hung around with were of Filipino ancestry. One day they asked me if I wanted to go camping with them at the sugar cane reservoir. I was really excited so I begged my 'auntie' and got permission to go. After a long hike, we finally reached the reservoir and set up our tents. Then we went fishing for catfish and crayfish. That night, as we were eating our catch for dinner, the older boys told me that they see a lot of weird things while camping out here. They said that they see this giant shadow of a man walking in the cane fields, and he is 50 feet tall...as tall as a telephone pole! I was waiting for the punch line and laughter, but all of the boys were dead serious. These boys are the descendants of the Filipino sugar cane workers, and some of their families were still living in old plantation homes back in 1970! (ByGeeBee)
