The noticeable hotel known as the volcanic house in Hawaii is considered to be haunted not only by ghosts, but also by the goddess of fire and volcanoes.
In the immense space of the Hawaiian Islands, where the fiery heart of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes, pulsates under the surface of the earth, the haunted story develops in the shadow of the Hawaiian national park of a volcano with two vigorous volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Kīlauea.
Among the uneven landscapes and smoldering craters, amazing whispers from the past evoked the guests of the historic volcano house south on the Hawaiian Island.
Haunted volcano house
The volcano house is today a series of historic hotels built at the Active Shield Volcano Kīlauea top, is over 200,000 and is still exploding. The word itself means ejection And it refers to lava, which spills out of it. In 2018, they had to close the entire park because of explosions, toxic clouds of ash and earthquakes.
Standing as a still witness of the centuries of volcanic activity on the border of the park, above the Halema's crater, the original building contains the legend and history of something much older than the park from 1916.
Kīlauea became a tourist attraction in the 1840s, and businessmen, such as Benjamin Pitman and George Lycurgus, ran a series of hotels on a rim, including Volcano House, which is the only hotel or restaurant located in the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes national park.
It was first built in 1846 as a one -room shelter of grass and native poles made of Ohia wood before it dilated in 1866. However, the echoes of the past turned the haunting turnover in 1940, when the pointed fire absorbed the original structure, leaving only ashes and lying spirits, which called it home. Ironically, a fire began in the kitchen, not through the volcano.
The spirit of an older woman at a volcano house
A novel hotel rosed of the original house left from the original house. But along with the novel hotel there was a disturbance in the ethereal kingdom and it is said that henceforth in the hotel became haunted.
Many who wandered through their rooms of working workers and guests reported meetings with a ghostly revelation of an older woman decorated in an 1800 outfit. There is no name, no story and nobody knows who she was.
It is said that he wanders in the corridors, appearing unexpected in different rooms, as if tied to memories that remain in the walls.
Madame Pele visiting
There are also stories about Phantom Dog, which materializes in the shadow of the volcano house. There are also stories about how guests are greeted by a white dog on the way to the hotel.
Folklore intertwine with supernatural, and there is speculation that this revelation of dogs can be a manifestation of Pele itself, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, volcanoes and lightning. Legends in which Pele manifests often accompanies a dog at her side or that this is one of its forms.
How and when the story of guests of the ghosts seen, nobody really knows. Some presented the theory that she stands behind the haunting of the hotel and that the dog's ghost is only one of the forms that her spirit takes while persecuting this place.
Pele mythology
But who says this pele that he is haunting not only one place in Hawaii, but in the whole condition? It is said that Pele is a goddess of volcanoes and fires in the Hawaiian religion, but also the creator of the Hawaiian islands. It is often referred to as Madame Pele or Pele Stone show respect and known as “She, who shapes the Holy Earth.” Even when the elderly religion was officially abolished in 1819, people still believed in her, and her paths found ways to stay in the up-to-date world that changed Hawaijs dramatically.
It is believed that the volcano itself is inhabited by the family of the gods of fire, its siblings related to other elements, and there are many stories about her, especially about her passion, hunger and jealous power with fiery temperament.
Legend has it that Pele herself traveled to a kayak from the island of Tahiti to Hawaiian. Some say that she came from the mystical floating land of Kuaihelani, and maybe even land, which is said to be “close to the clouds”.
When it was said when she was told that she tried to cause fires on various islands, but her sister, Namaka, chased her, wanting to put her. Ultimately, two sisters fought with each other and Pele was killed. Along with this event, her body was destroyed, but her spirit lives in Halemaʻumaʻu at Kilauea. They say: “Her body is lava and a couple comes from a volcano.
This is just one of the many stories that attach her to the volcano. Locals sometimes also believe that Pele warns residents against the oncoming eruptions. He can also change her form, appearing as a white dog, an elderly woman with white hair or as a lovely youthful woman in a red muumu.
Haunted volcano house
The volcano house, sitting on the edge of the fiery nature performance, is a testimony to the intricate mutual relationship between history and supernatural. If Madame Pele persecutes the hotel, he is uncertain, but it is said that George Lycurgus, who ran the hotel for years and years, prayed to it because of tourists. Although many park guards did not like, as he did, when he constantly threw the ready bottles into the crater to show her respect.
When the melted core of Pele still shapes the intended operate of the island, the volcano house remains the portal to the unearthly world – a place where the curtain between the living and the wrinkle is as skinny as drops of volcanic smoke, which floats from the ground below.
