Summary: Fascinating and chilling
Comment: If you're not sure whether the various H-3 disasters were accidents or the work of something else, this book is great. It talks about many different kinds of ghosts, Japanese, Hawaiian, Chinese, and other, and gives examples of when and where things have been attributed to them, like various stories of lava flows that have skipped destroying heiaus, sacred places, houses of people who were very devout, stuff like that. It's really interesting, especially in a place like Hawaii where many people believe in the old Hawaiian ghosts. It's surprising to people not from the islands, but true that the general public in Hawaii has a great deal of respect for Hawaiian spirits. Many businesses or organizations have all new facilities blessed by Hawaiian priests, and when misfortune strikes calling on the Hawaiian religious community is a not uncommon way of solving the problem. Scarily enough, often blessings really do end bad luck...

Summary: spooky
Comment: Since living in Hawaii, I have encountered many tales (such as these ) in this book. They are sometimes thought of as folklore, but many have claimed these stories are true. Determine for yourself if it is true.....or not.......hee hee hee!
