Secret Hawaiian Island

Mysteries and Secrets of Hawaii

Editorial note: Here is our own history of a first-hand experience of the Hawaiian Spirit. On Highway 19 on the Big Island of Hawaii we have caught two seemingly ghostly creatures seated in the caves. Hawaiian islands are full of old-fashioned secrets, traditional folk music and tales that have been passed down one generations after another, fascinating and fascinating over and over again.

Throughout Hawaii, action is full of sense and end and holy places and spirits demand reverence. Most of Hawaii's story may be in the mystery not found in any of the textbooks. These are just some of the enigmas and enigmas you may encounter during your stay in Hawaii:

Kamehameheha I, also known as Kamehameja the Great, united the Hawaiian islands under one rulers. Ever since the date of his deaths on May 8, 1819, the secret of the position of his bone has been one of the greatest mysteries in all of Hawaii. Though Hawaiians had ritual funerals for all, the funerary ceremonies given to the rulers were particularly complicated and holy.

There was a ceremonial that prepares the human being for the hereafter, which included the extraction of the meat from the bone, followed by a secret funeral of the mainly bone. As a rule, the position of the bone was kept secret by the person who was assigned the task, usually the immediate adviser to the deceased. Chieftain Ulumaheiheiheii (called by King Hoapili) was honoured in the event of Kamehameha's sickness.

Kamehameha's bone was highly holy and had to be kept secret to allow his mind to enter the realm of the alumakua or deity. To physically store the holy bone as well as to avoid unjustified espionage, the bone was hid at dusk to guarantee maximum caution. There was a belief that an adversary who came into direct bone communication could soak up the main mana or the Force when the place of the funeral became known.

The old tradition is known as the hunting ale, which means "to be hidden". Though it has not yet been proved, many believe that Kamehameha's remnants lie in a tomb near Kaloko-Honokohau on the Great Island of Hawaii. There are some who say that King Kalakova moved Kamehameha's bone to the royal mausoleum in Nu'uanu Valley on Oahu, although this is also only myth.

When King Kamehameha's bone has ever been exchumed, either accidentally or deliberately, it is impossible to say what kind of sequence of events could trigger this irreverence. These contradictory reports of Kamehameha the Great's last rest are perhaps deliberate tales that make sure that this particular secret remains exactly that.

Ménehune ( "ka poe menehune") are the mythic little tribe of Hawaii. Sometimes called dwarves, they can be seen far away from the place where they can be seen by man, living deeply in the woods and islets. It is associated with the pre-colonized Hawaiian era that roamed the island 1,500 years ago or more before the Polynesians came, but it also appears in the most recent stories.

Though it is said that they have traversed all the isles, the island of Kauai is the most frequent site of the Menehun. The two-foot high islanders are considered by many as the architect masters who built the Alekoko Fishpond and Damm, Kauai's biggest fish farm. The Wainapanapa Caves in Maui are surrounded by an old Hawaiian myth.

Growing at altitudes between 1,000 and 9,000 ft, the oak is known for its lovely scarlet flower. On the other hand, the oak is a holy shrub associated with Pele, the volcanic godsdess, and Hi'iaka, the sibling of Pele, who was also the keeper of the oak forest.

According to tradition, Pele ordered her sibling' holy grove of oak leua to be destroyed after she discovered that her beloved Lohiau had undertaken a series of sexual activity with her sibling. Today, the Kilauea eruption on Big Island is continuing to produce volcanic eruptions and destroying Ohiabrees. They say that if someone picks the reddish Oheo berry or oak blossom of the forest without first making the necessary sacrifices and rituals, there can be repercussions, from rainstorms to devastating creeks.

Old Pali Highway on Oahu, superseded by the neighbouring and newer Pali Highway, is the site of many of Hawaii's favorite legends about miraculous sentiments. With the street densely wooded and without street lighting, the Old Pali Highway is the ideal backdrop for creepy ghoulis. A few folks have said that a giant ghostlike piece of whitey is crossing the street in front of their cars at noon.

There have been innumerable incidents on this street, many unsolved. Nu'uanu Pali Lookout was also the scene of one of the most crucial wars in King Kamehameha's Hawaiian Islands Association. Old legend warns that travelling with pig meat over the Pali Highway, the highway that links Honolulu and Oahu's windsurf.

Along Old Pali Road is Morgan's Corner, a bend shaped by a huge building with many ghostlike meetings. Several people tell of phenomena of suspended objects and strange noises on the roof of cars under the trees, especially at nights. Hawaiians and tourists are fascinated by the secrets of the Hawaiian islands.
