BONUS | Mysteries of Hawai'i with Lopaka Kapanui

Season 1

Lopaka Kapanui is a native Hawaiian Master Storyteller. He is the founder of the Mysteries of Hawai'i Ghost Tours, which has recently been voted Best Ghost Tour in the United States by USA Today. For over 25 years, he has continued the oral tradition of his ancestors by sharing stories of the past. From legends of the Night Marchers to the Sharkman of Kāneana Cave. From ghostly tales of Morgan's Corner to terrifying encounters with a faceless woman. You'll hear the incredible events that led Lopaka to a life intertwined with the supernatural and unexplained and what it all means both for those who live, visit, or continue to haunt the islands of Hawai'i and beyond.


Special thanks to Tanya Ululani Kapanui, Jane Moore, Bishop Museum, and PBS Hawai'i.
