    Bonus Mini-Episode: The Visitor (Including Ways to Help Maui)
    Aug 21 2023
    Aloha, On August 8, 2023, a wildfire ravaged Lāhainā on the island of Maui destroying an estimated 85% of the beachfront town, altering Hawaii's history forever.  My father's side of the family has lived in Lāhainā for over a century, with the small town serving as a second home to my sister and I growing up, so of course we were beyond heartbroken.  Long before this tragedy, in the fall of 2022, a writer from Honolulu Magazine (www.honolulumagazine.com) reached out asking if I'd like to submit a story for an article they were doing for Halloween.  That story turned into this episode with additional information not covered in the magazine piece. (https://www.honolulumagazine.com/locals-share-firsthand-spine-chilling-ghost-stories-just-in-time-for-halloween/) This incident was something an ex-girlfriend and I experienced while visiting my grandparent's home on famed Front Street and was intended to be a Patreon exclusive episode.  However, after news of the fire, I went back and updated the ending to include how the fire has impacted my family personally and to add a short disclaimer.  After zero contact for over 24hrs, we finally learned my grandma and other family members were confirmed to be safe after being forced to evacuate twice.  Tragically this was not the case for many other residents.  Whatever you may hear on the news I can assure you it is much, much worse.  It is still too early to know the total destruction or even an accurate number of missing or deceased and will take years to fully understand the outcome of these fires with the clean-up and rebuilding of historic Lāhainā taking even longer.   I decided to release the episode to all listeners to include resources on how to help the Island's residents. Maui needs more assistance than ever, please check the show notes for additional ways to help.  Mahalo.   Resources: Monetary Donations: Maui Strong (https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/strengthening/maui-strong-fund) Kākoʻo Maui Fund (https://www.memberplanet.com/campaign/cnhamembers/kakoomaui) Aloha United Way - Maui Relief Fund (https://ignite.stratuslive.com/auw/get-involved/donate/mauirelief) Lāhui Foundation (https://www.lahuifoundation.org/) Help Maui Rise:  Directly Aid Ohana Displaced by Fire (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lExatubPl6zvsDcy4qUd3Sv1PvvKrzMhUyOzaKuId0o/htmlview) Verified Memorial Fundraisers through GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/wildfire-relief/maui) Hawaii Food Bank - Maui Relief Efforts (https://hawaiifoodbank.org/Maui-Relief) Water Stations for Lahaina Emergency Shelters (https://www.gofundme.com/f/water-stations-for-lahaina-emergency-shelter)   Resources for those directly impacted by the fires: Housing for Displaced Maui Ohana (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jHxUYu1AQeWw8pz6m9eAv81QMAtpW1EAAXL7vozOkEY/htmlview?fbclid=PAAaZdXWson5kfIDd4YfBuB0Mf7cYsOUrbimeGYOSkq03ODAa0jRML4thJ_KU_aem_AQI-vhUFXYyWLORsapaYsZRcEE2IK0ytCJamwGxUZaOycfuBjZTaPeDLYtV4YD-LjLo) Maui Nui Strong (https://www.mauinuistrong.info/) Maui County Information - evacuation shelters, family assistance, and more (https://www.mauicounty.gov/) If you are searching for missing loved ones, call the American Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767, select option 4 and follow the voice prompts for Hawaii Wildfires.   For a additional resources please check out KITV4's article here:  https://www.kitv.com/news/lahaina/how-to-help-those-impacted-by-the-maui-fires/article_13f68cc6-3712-11ee-8291-ff1f69566ac1.html#:~:text=RESOURCES%20IF%20YOU%20NEED%20HELP,Fill%20out%20the%20form%20here.&text=If%20you%20are%20searching%20for,voice%20prompts%20for%20Hawaii%20Wildfires     P.S.  I've been overwhelmed with the immense amount of listeners who've reached out asking how to help or if my family has a GoFundMe to support.  At the moment, my family is OK financially and do not want to take away from others who may require that same support, but want to thank everyone for their kindness and well wishes.     #MauiStrong #LahainaStrong

    Ep. 26: The Sleepwalker (Season 2 Finale)
    Sep 14 2022

    Note:  For best listener experience, headphones are suggested but not required.

    Trigger Warning:  This episode briefly mentions several situations of self-harm.  Listener discretion is advised.

    Aloha!  Thank you for joining me in the last episode of Season 2 of the Ghostlore of Hawaii:  Paranormal Paradise podcast!  I cannot believe we're already wrapping up Season 2!  I appreciate your patience over these last couple of weeks.  My computer decided to "kick-the-bucket" (RIP old friend) before I could complete the intended episode finale.  After much debate (and understanding by the awesome Patreon Members), I decided to release this story, which was an exclusive episode for Patrons (www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii), to wrap up the season so you listeners wouldn't be left hanging.  The podcast will now go on a short break until Season 3, but don't worry, it won't be long before we're all huddled around the bonfire once again!

    If you fear the thought of Ghostlore of Hawaii withdrawals (lol) you want more content, I will continue to release bonus and mini-episodes all throughout the break.  To find out more or to become a member, head over to:  www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii

    So enough of the business talk....

    Versions of this tale have circulated for years.  One popular depiction was told in author Glen Grant's TV special 'Chick'n Skin:  Tales of Supernatural Hawaii' that came out in the mid-90's.  Ever since seeing that interpretation as a child, the images of the story have stuck with me to this day.  As the victim in my version discovers, "new beginnings" can always be haunted by tragic pasts...
