Real Haunted House
Kaimuki House
Hawaii is known for its beaches, beautiful scenery, and friendly natives…but did you know it’s also one of America’s most haunted states? There are countless stories telling of ghosts and demons, including a particularly nasty one located at the famous Kaimuki House in Honolulu, Hawaii. Many families have moved or vacationed there over the years, only to be thrown out by strange and usually dangerous occurrences. On one occasion, a young couple bought the property and moved in. Within a short time, people next door started hearing loud bangs and crashes. Thinking it was a domestic violence incident, the neighbors called the police. But when the police arrived to investigate, nobody could even begin to explain what had been happening. All the couple could gather was that it felt as if they were “being attacked by something they could not even see.”
The creature said to reside in the Kaimuki house is called a “Kasha”, a man-eating ghost from Japanese folklore. Other interpretations of this monster include a ghoul who lives around crematoriums and feeds on the dead, and a cat-like demon from the sky who steals away bodies. However, all three versions have one thing in common: its insatiable hunger for blood and corpses.
Sometime during the summer of 1942, the police were called to the house again for another incident. A woman had been repeatedly screaming, “She’s trying to kill my children!” which they heard upon pulling up to the front of the house. After entering, the police could only stare for over an hour as the three kids were hurled across the room, slapped, and levitated…all by some invisible force. This event (which was published in the local newspaper) inspired Arthur McDougal to write a fictional, much more violent account. In his story, the children were literally ripped apart by the entity right before the mother’s eyes.
In the spring of 1977, another young couple moved into the Kaimuki House, oblivious to its creepy history. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary until they returned from having a traditional Hawaiian Mother’s Day dinner, and retired for the night at about 8:00 pm. Around midnight, the bedroom became increasingly chilly, although there was no wind blowing through the curtains. Having woken up, the wife saw a white figure of a large woman standing at the foot of their bed. However, there was nothing visible below her waist, and she appeared to have no arms. Once the wife got up to use the bathroom, the figure disappeared. A little shaken by these events, the couple made an appointment to see their reverend. He told them that their visitor was simply a wandering, harmless spirit who needed a little help moving on. He then advised them to put some food and water on a table every night in the general area where they had seen the ghost, and toss it out the window at dusk as an offering. After the couple repeated this for a whole week, the woman never appeared again.
A possible explanation for these spooky happenings may be the two murders allegedly committed in the house. The first one is a twist on the story mentioned before, about the children being brutally killed. However, the case states that it was actually a father who murdered his two kids, along with his wife. He buried his son and wife in the backyard, but the daughter’s body was never found. The second event tells of a lesbian couple, where one of the women became involved with a man. After discovering his girlfriend’s secret, the man proceeded to kill her, the other woman, and himself…all within the walls of the Kaimuki house. Today, villagers still tell stories of the terrifying occurrences, and many books and newspaper articles have been written detailing the haunts.

One night, in Hilo, HI, we were at my aunty and uncles house. My Papa had prok in his turck, and as they began to drive away, something began choking him. A few seconds later my Mom them came to his truck with Ki (Ti-leaves) and the choking stopped. I’m still not sure what it was that went on that night, but it still scares me.
I’ve also had a “ghostly encounter” myself. About 7 or 8 years ago around the time when I was 6 or 7, I was staying at my grandma’s for the night, me and my sister. At one point in the night I woke up. For what reason? I’m not sure, but I looked to the window and saw what appeared to be an apparition of a woman. She was lightly tapping on the window. There was a flower neslted behind her ear, she was actually very beautiful. A few minutes after I dozed off again. I hadn’t told anyone till recently (I am currently 14) what I had seen that night. I shared thi with my sister and she froze, she had seen it too. I was shocked. I asked her explain what she saw to me, and to my surprise, it was the EXACT same thing that I saw. I don’t know who, or what it was but I’ve never seen her since. And to this day, I can’t stayat my grandma’s place with the windows opened…

My wife went to a house that is located on the forest preserve in Hakalau on the big island for a class project. The house is empty and is a protected historical structure. The house is simple but old and is constructed entirely of Koa wood which is very expensive. It is located in the koa forests there. The house is known to be haunted as there have been sightings and several photos of ghosts there. Supposedly a child was killed there at some point. From this trip alone there are several photos with figures in them. I’v seen one photo which clearly has a mans face in the group picture. Several photos were taken and the face appears in only that shot so it is not a reflection of some sort. The other shots were taken with a different camera and my wife said one is a little girl and the other is an older hawaiian woman. does anyone know anything about this house? Also does anyone have the actual address of where the “8th and harding” house Glen Grant talked about is. One post stated a house down the road in Manoa. Does anyone have a location?

Aloha,
I lived on Oahu off & on about 8 1/2 years & went to high school at AOP in Honolulu. I have honestly never heard this story until now, and honestly for those asking if you have read all of the posts about it or at least a good portion you will notice someone said that they live a block from the house that was reported to be the real house but is not. I am sure no one will give out the real location but there is a good chance if you can find a house that has been vacant for a while or has been torn down chances are that’s your best bet. My 1st wife went to BYUH in Laie & on more then once occasion we both saw some very ….ed up …. on the campus grounds along with some other unexplained occurrences when we sub leased a couples home here which made neither of us want to live or be there at night again. I am very interested in the study of ghosts & spirits mostly because I am curious about what really happens when a person dies & why some of us are left behind to haunt & others move on. Please do not sent spam to my email.

I believe the real house is on second ave. It has a gigantic uncut mango tree in front of it and has since turned into a dump, the front yard is filled with trash. Inside also seems to be filled with garbage.
