Do the ghosts of the Hawaiian royal family persecute the Hulheʻe palace? Who do people say that they see in the shade of an senior building on Big Island?

At the banks of Kaila-Kon on Hawaiian Big Island, the Hulheʻe palace is a testimony to the opulent and elaborate history of the royal past of the Hawaii. This great two -story structure, built in 1838 by Governor John Adams Kuakini, served as a luxurious holiday home for the native Hawaiian royal family on Ali'i Drive, the main street of the city.

Thanks to the walls and airy verans, the palace is a striking symbol of the Hawaiian monarchy and mixing Hawaiian and Western architectural styles. In those days it was a great summer take -out place, as well as the location of enormous events. However, it was broken down in 1914, but the Hawaiian daughters took it over in 1928 and since then they used the building as a museum. But apart from its historical meaning and beauty, the palace is also known for something much more amazing – it is a haunted reputation.

Haunted Summer Holiday House: Hulhee Palace in 1883–1905. The palace was originally built by John Adams Kuakini, the Governor of the Hawaiian Island during the Hawaiian kingdom, from Lava Rock.

The spirit of Princess Kānini

Among the many ghosts that believed that they were persecuting the Hulheʻe palace, the most common princess Kaʻiulani, the last heir noticeable on the Hawaiian throne. It is said that the juvenile princess, known for her grace, intelligence and beauty, was still wandering around the palace, which she once loved. Visitors and employees reported observations of a tender character moving through the corridors, dressed in flowing white dresses typical of her era. Her revelation often looks at the sea, as if longing for life for which she was intended, but she never lived to see.

Pinokism Elunalani: Victoria Kawēkiu Kaʻiulani Lunalilo Kalaniahilaapalapa Cleghorn (1875–1899). She has not yet achieved her eighteenth birthday when the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom of 1893 changed her life. She and Liliʻuokalani boycotted the annexation ceremony in 1898 and mourned the loss of Hawaiian independence.

In addition to these observations, there were often reports of cushioned, ghostly steps reflecting in the corridors, even when the palace is empty. The sudden and unexplained smell of fresh flowers – Plumera or Pikake, considered a sign of the presence of Princess Kaʻiulani is more frosty. Those who have experienced these phenomena describe a mixture of sadness and peace, a serene reminder of the premature death of the princess at the age of 23.

Unearthly meetings in Hulheʻe

Princess Kaʻiulani is not the only ghost who thought about the Hulheʻe Palace and around enforcement stones, Pohak Likanak. They are also accompanied by holy artifacts called pohaku or walking stones, which are said to be curse and known for moving.

Some say they encountered other royal revelations, including the Queen of Kapiʻolani and King Kalākaua. Their presence is often felt at serene moments, especially in the evening, when the palace is closed to the audience. Personnel members talk about strange events: flickering lights, objects moving alone and the impression of observing through undetectable eyes.

There are also reports that the place is persecuted by the spirit of a juvenile Hawaiian boy. Who he was and why he decided to persecute this place for eternity, is uncertain. Could this be Prince Albert, who is said to be persecuted this place? It is said that he looks through the window on the upper floors, where its cradle is displayed.

Palace of restless ghosts

For those who believe in supernatural, Hulheʻe Palace serves as a bridge between the past and the present – a place where the spirits of the Royal Hawaii still observe their former domain. Each room seems to echo whispers from the past, and each corner has the potential of meeting those who once walked his corridors.
