Looking at exhibitions at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, some say that some guests are not alive and that ghosts remain.
The Bishop's Museum in Honolul in Hawaii is a treasury of Hawaiian culture and history, presenting artifacts that tell the story of the islands and their people. Also called Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, it is located in the historic district of Kalihi in Honolulu.
But among many exhibits of the museum is one that contains a shadowy and disturbing story – a story that serves a grim reminder of the archaic Hawaiian belief that some things are best left uninterrupted.
History of the Bishop's Museum
Before the museum became a museum, the bishop's museum was a dormitory of boys from the Kamehameha School for native Hawaiian children. After the death of philanthropist and businessman Charles Reed Bishop, he built a museum in her honor in the former school area.
The wife of Charles Reed Bishop was the Hawaiian princess Bernice Pauahi, born in the royal family and was the last legal heir to the Kamemehah dynasty, who united the Hawaiian Islands and ruled until 1872. The bishop wanted the place to show that his deceased wife.
Today it is the largest museum in a state and presents the heritage to which his wife belonged. It also has the largest collection of Polynesian artifacts, insects and books in the world.
Saint exhibition error
According to the local superstition of Heiau – the holy place of worship and human sacrifice – it is impossible not to desecrate. It is believed that the land and stones of these places are considered sacred and it is believed that removing everything from them brings a earnest misfortune. Unfortunately, someone from the bishop's museum did not listen to this warning.
When designing an exhibition aimed at repeating Heiau instead of placing a real, member of the museum staff took a brave and unhappy step involving the removal of lava stones from the actual Heiau to the display. Perhaps he did not believe in the story, maybe he did not know. Stones, saturated with the spiritual energy of an archaic place, were placed at the museum exhibition, seemingly without consequences – until the next day.
Mother's warning
That night, the mother of one of the museum's employees experienced a terrifying nightmare. In her dream she saw blood everywhere and with a sense of fear warned her son so that he would not go to work the next day. She told him that something terrible would happen if he did. But a youthful man, who needed a payment, rejected his mother's fears and, as usual, went to work.
After arriving at the museum, he was assigned the task of repairing a problem with a roof or some thing hanging from the ceiling. While working on the exhibition, which has stolen lava stones, the tragedy hit. He lost his position, fell through the roof and landed directly at the Heiau exhibition. His head hit one of the holy stones with a deadly force and died immediately.
Haunted heritage at the bishop's museum
The museum staff shook the sudden and tragic death, and the whispers of the curse of Heiau stones spread quickly. It wasn't a long time before rumors about haunting circulated. It is said that they put lava rocks in the temple, but did the enraged spirit come back too? Some say that there is still a threatening spirit in the museum.
Both employees and guests reported amazing events in the museum's rooms – encountered places, flickering lights and a sense of observing by imperceptible presence.
Some say that she saw the spirit of a youthful man wandering near the exhibition, where he met his premature end, his spirit has forever attached to holy stones that should never be concerned.
There is a story about a janitor with a breaking floor at night and suddenly he heard the sound of hefty breath. When he looked around, no one was there, even when the breath sounded as if he was breathing on his neck. The Maninek wanted to get out of there, but when he left, he saw the shadow of someone standing in the corner of a shadowy and empty museum. He ran out and gave up the next day.
The spirit of the Hawaiian princess
Not only a vindictive spirit lurks in the museum if we are to believe in rumors. The ghost of Princess Banda Bishop was also noticeable in the museum. People usually say that he sees her standing in shadowy corners, looking at the paintings or some of the occasional species of insects that the museum has. It is said that he is a tranquil spirit, not making guests or staff afraid of her presence.
It will stay mainly just before opening and closing time, and the staff working in the museum recognize it when he is in senior -fashioned clothing, and also wears their crown and jewels.
The story of the bishop's museum is a haunted reminder of respect, which should be granted to archaic Hawaiian beliefs and practices. This is a terrifying example of what can happen when the saint is treated with disregard, and still sends chills of the spikes of those who go through his historical rooms.
