Are there seasoned ghosts haunting Honolulu fire brigades? For decades there were stories that firefighters see something. Especially around the ancient Kakako station there are ghostly legends.

Among the fire station in Oahu, a ghostly presence lurks, which even the bravest firefighters consider to be disturbing. Known as a “stuffy spirit”, this mysterious and enemy creature meant that his presence felt at the ancient Kakako station in Honolulu Fire Department, leaving stories about terrorism, which are whispered among firefighters who experienced his amazing embrace.

But what is a suffocating spirit and why does it seem that they are particularly actively haunting the Hawaiian islands?

Old Birthday Fire Station

The spirit of the fire visiting the fire brigade

Over the years, firefighters stationed in Kakako reported nippy meetings with this imperceptible force. It is said that this happened both at the Historical Fire Brigade of Kakako from 1929 at South Street and the newer station at Queen Street from the 1970s.

Experience is always the same: in the middle of the night, because the station lies in the dim, and the city is sleeping, the overwhelming feeling of weight presses on the chest. What begins as a vague pressure soon becomes a terrifying experience, because firefighters feel an imperceptible hand tightening around the throat, choked them. The sensation is suffocating and although only a few moments lasts, those who experienced it, describe terror as persistent long after the meeting.

Unlike typical ghostly meetings, which include fleeting flashes or amazing sounds, the choking spirit is invasive and aggressive, guided by victims in their most sensitive condition – when they sleep. Despite the terrifying nature of these meetings, the attacks of the Spirit never caused stern damage, which led to the classification as the “spirit of Kolohe” – a mischievous spirit who likes to play on the living.

What is a suffocating spirit in Hawaii?

The beginnings of a choking spirit are shrouded in mystery. Some speculate that the spirit can be the spirit of a former fireman who has met a tragic end and now haunts his ancient workplace, looking for attention or revenge. Others believe that a being can be an old Hawaiian spirit, concerned about contemporary structures and actions entering what was once holy earth. Lack of specific evidence or clear history only increases the fear and intrigue surrounding this ghostly presence.

What makes the stuffy spirit particularly annoying is the uncertainty of his identity and intentions. Is it just a witty spirit playing with firefighters for their own fun? Or maybe a darker game, more hostile strength that derives the pleasure of instilling fear and discomfort? Firefighters who felt the handle may never know the answer, but the meetings made a lasting impression.

Former firefighter or smallpox victims?

But why is fire brigades haunted? Some blame him about the smallpox epidemic from the mid -1950s. There is a cemetery right next to the ancient station, where about 1000 bodies of this epidemic were buried. This is something that many think that the visiting firefighters have experienced.

But according to some sources, ghosts haunting the ancient fire brigade are not narrow to smallpox victims, buried nearby. It is also said that there is an ancient man with a ghostly dog ​​following him, who persecuted the ancient station at South Street. Who he was, he is not sure, but many say that he must be an ancient fireman who is still ongoing in the area.

Fighting with ghosts with leaves

It would be necessary to take funds to keep the ghosts at a distance. In the living quarters of Ti leaves and Hawaiian salt were placed in the corners to repel the evil spirits that remained there and hopefully tidy the area.

Ti leaves: It is said that the Ti plant in Hawaii has protective abilities on the part of ghosts. Among the many ethnic groups in Austrones, they are considered sacred and believe that they can keep souls, and therefore they are useful in healing “losing soul“Diseases and exorcision against hostile spirits, their operate in ritual costumes and decorations, and their operate as border markers. Red and green varieties also represent dualistic aspects of culture and religion and are used differently in ritual. source

It was also planned to take care of the bodies from the smallpox epidemic, which were discovered during construction in the area.

If it worked, it just turns out. But now you also have newer firefighters at a up-to-date station who claim that they have never experienced anything strange while working. What is happening in the ancient is more uncertain.

A ghostly attraction of Honolul Fire Brigade

The legend of a choked spirit spread beyond the fire brigade, attracting the interest of supernatural enthusiasts and ghost hunters. The ancient Kakako station has become the target of people who want to capture paranormal evidence, and many reported strange events during visits. Light balls appear in the pictures, unexplained icy spots are felt, and the amazing silence of the station is sometimes broken by a faint sound of traces in which no one is present.

Despite the terrifying reputation of the spirit, the Kakako station remains a functional and significant part of Honolulu fire brigade. Firefighters still serve their community with courage and dedication, even if they share their space with a spirit that refuses to leave. The stewing spirit, with disturbing jokes and mysterious beginnings, has become an indelible part of the station's knowledge – a reminder that even in a place devoted to saving life there is forces outside our understanding, which we must face.
