It is said that gloomy shadows are persecuted by the Kapiolani Park in Honolul, Hawaii. People think that dramatic events with bloody battles, deadly scourge and possible human victims can cause haunting.
Kapiolani Park or Queen Kapiʻolani Regional Park, in Honolul on the island of O'Ahu in Hawaii, is a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of the city at the eastern end of the popular Waikiki. It is also the largest and one of the oldest public parks in Hawaii, although the haunted rumors behind him began long earlier.
Founded in 1877 by King Kalakau, he was named after his beloved wife, Queen Kapiolani. The park was first expected as a place of horse racing before it became a park, and also used for years by Cricket Club.
However, under a peaceful surface, the Kapiolani park has a darker, more ominous story that few are ready to recognize. It is said that the Kapiolani Park is haunted by ghostly shadows, moving in silence after gloomy. But what event made this place hit the army of shadow ghosts?
Ghosts from the battle of Nu'uanu
Some legends about the Kapiolani park is that it was one of the places where the battle of Nu'uanu took place.
The battle of Nuʻuan, fought in May 1795, was a key conflict in the history of Hawaii, which meant the culmination of the campaign of King Kamehameh and the unification of the Hawaiian Islands. On the way to O'ahu, to unite the islands after they were weakened after the Civil War after the death of Kahekili II, the king Kamemehameh sailed, and his forces landed in the south -eastern part of the island, near Waiʻalae and Waikiki, and a possible place of what will happen to what would happen to the Capolan park.
This decisive battle took place primarily in the Nuʻuan Valley about 30 minutes by car on the island. Kamemehah, the ruler of the Great Hawaiian Island, led his forces against the army of Kalanikupule, the head of Oʻahu.
Kamemehah forces, equipped with muskets and cannons obtained from Western traders, began a relentless robbery, bringing Kalanikūpule warriors to the valley to the steep cliffs of Nuʻuanu Paluanu. In the dramatic and brutal finals of many people Kalanikupule was forced to the edge of the cliffs for their death. The victory in Nuʻuana secured the control of Kamemehah over Oʻahu, significantly moving his efforts to unite the Hawaiian Islands under his rule. This battle is remembered not only because of its strategic meaning, but also because of its deep impact on the political and cultural landscape in Hawaii.
Then it is said that the island was littered with the dead bodies of warriors, decaying in the bones, many found decades and even centuries later.
Kapiolani Park Dark Past of Plague and Human Officirifice
The location of the Kapiolani Park is not only an old battlefield, but also rumors about the Kapiolani park is that it was once a place of human victims. Ancient Hawaiian Heiau was found here, so he was certainly used as a meeting place. But how true are rumors about human victims and can it be related to many rumors about the haunting, which is said to be in the park?
There are also stories that this place persecutes the victims of the plague. This legend again reaches to Kamemehah and his pursuit of the unification of the Hawaiian Islands. In 1804, just before the attack of Kaua'I, a plague broke out, killing many of its leaders and warriors. It is said that at that time hundreds of bodies were sent to the sea from Waikiki beaches near the park, now considered to persecute this place.
Hawaiian nights of the marching marks of the park
Long before establishing the park, this area was a saint burying for old Hawaiian warriors. These resting places, called “Pu'uhonua”, were thought to be saturated with mana (spiritual energy) of the deceased. It was said that disturbing these places arouses ghosts, releasing their anger on the living. Despite the warnings and the historical significance of the area, the Earth was cleaned to create a park, and the bones of many warriors were unceremoniously displaced.
Look at the Hawaiian story of ghosts about how it is said that the park is haunted:
Over the years, countless reports of strange events and ghostly apparitions have appeared in Kapiolani Park. Visitors often talk about inexplicable frosty in the air, even in the warmest Hawaiian nights. Some say they have heard the indigent sound of old battle shouts carrying in the wind while others saw gloomy figures moving quietly among the trees.
