Don't Disrespect The Spirits At Judd Trail

Photo by G. Poole 2011, Mysterious Mist next to the Judd Trail Sign

On the beautiful island of Oahu, there are many breathtaking sights. One of these breathtaking sites is a hiking trail by the name of Judd Trail. This trail runs along the ridge of the Ko'olau Range and ends at the Pali Lookout. The view during the day as one is hiking Judd trail can be breathtaking and beautiful

However, at night, in the dark there is more to the story of Judd Trail then most people realize. A friend of mine, Megan, went to Judd Trail with two of her friends. Her friends sat at the beginning of the trail while Megan decided to take a walk on the trail and see what she could see even thought it was 3 am. Judd Trail is not a long trail by any means, It is just short of a mile. However, at places along the trail there some obstacles such as rock climbing, and at one spot you have to walk on the stones in the creek to get on the other side of the trail.

Megan kept walking until she reached the water fall, well out of sight from her two friends. Once at the water fall, Megan started to feel very strange inside. A feeling of total shock came over Megan. She felt nervous and very afraid because at the water fall, it became bright as day. She explained to me that it was just as light as it would be at 12 noon. Megan looked up to the sky to see what was going on and when she looked back down in front of her she saw an elderly Hawaiian women walking her dog coming in the direction that Megan was standing at. Megan was very shaken up by all this and she started to run away from the woman and the dog back up the trail to her friends.

As soon as Megan reached a spot close to where her friends were it became dark again. This frightened Megan even more. She continued to run  and jumped in her car where her friends were waiting for her. Her friends who were unaware of what just happened asked what was wrong but Megan couldn't even speak. As her friends tried to calm her down, Megan looked out the car window just in time to see this elderly women walk right through the car as if it weren't even there at all. Megan said the lady looked very angry and yelled something in Hawaiian  as she went through the car  Megan and her friends  who were both very afraid and spooked by this elderly Hawaiian lady. They could see this lady and her dog on the other side of the car through the window yelling at them and when they tried to start the car to get away, the car would not start until the Hawaiian lady and her dog just seemed to vanish in mid air.

Megan has told me she will never go to Judd Trail again. I told her that she more then likely did something to disrespect the spirits there. Judd Trail is a very sacred place to the Hawaiians and the spirits that dwell there. Judd Trail is their home and it should be treated with respect just as we would want anyone entering into our home to treat it with respect.

I have myself been to Judd Trail many times and yes, I have indeed seen and heard things there so, I have no problem with believing the experience that Megan had while at Judd trail.

Mother Spirit Looking For Her Baby

Photo by Rinko Kawauchi

http://www.designboom.com/contemporary/kawauchi.html

This is a story my very good friend Masaki shared with me. He is a 28 year old Japanese guy, who lives here on Honolulu. A short while ago he told me about an experience he had when he was 15 years old and shook him up so much that he never forgot it. Now, Masaki was never one to put much stock into anything paranormal still, when he thinks about this experience, he ends up shaking.

At the time, Masaki was living in Tokyo and it all happened while on a summer school field trip with his class and a few instructors. The field trip took them to the city of Nagano. As they were all checking into the hotel, the desk clerk told us that during the second world war, a young mother became separated from her baby. No one knows what ever happened to the baby but the mother was killed during the war on the spot where the hotel now stands. They were also told that if they heard a women calling out a name, not to respond to it in any way because, it would be the  spirit of the young mother looking for her child and, if they did respond, the mother would take their spirit thinking it was her child and would take them off into another world.

That night, Masaki could not sleep, he just laid there awake and thought it was because he was he was excited about the next day going around in Nagano because he had never been there before. At some point Masaki got out of bed to go to the bathroom. Once he was finished in the bathroom he walked back to his bed again. At that point Masaki heard a young women call out a name, It was his name, he looked around from where he was standing and saw nothing unusual and saw no one else in the room. Not knowing what else to do Masaki crawled back into bed and laid there and he continued to hear his name called out by a young women. Every time he heard his name being called out. It sounded like the voice was closer and closer to him until, he threw the cover up over his head in fright. He did not respond to what he heard and he lay there shaking. Finally, the calling of his name stopped and he somehow he fell asleep.

Now can a 15 year old boy have an active imagination? Yes. Could it have been hotel staff playing a joke on him? yes but, not likely. Or, could it simply be that the young women's spirit was there still looking for her baby? You bet it could be.

Today Masaki visits Nagano on a regular basis for the company he works for here in Hawaii. However, he never stays at the hotel where this happened. However he always stays at a different one.

A Visit From My Ex-Girlfriend's Dead Mother

This one is in from Chris, in Hawaii

My ex-girlfriend's mother had died several years ago due to cancer. I myself have never met her. I only know of her from what my then girl friend has told me and I have only seen a few photos of her.

A few years ago, My girl friend was spending the night at my house. we had some food, watched a funny movie and then we both fell asleep. After sleeping about 4 hours I woke up because nature called. I laid there to make sure I was awake enough to be able to walk to the bathroom and I got a very strange feeling came over me. As I turned over to  get out of bed I looked up in the darkness of the room and what I saw almost made my heart beat right out of my chest.

What i saw was a women standing at the side of my bed. She had long hair and was dressed in very dark clothes. There was some light coming from my computer so I could see somewhat. This woman had big eyes and she was looking down at me. I was so frightened, I didn't move for a long time. Then I got up enough nerve to reach to my bed stand and click on the light and at that minute all i saw was a shadow disappear.

I went to the bathroom and then returned to be wide awake at this point but in time I felt I could go to sleep again. I rolled over to my favorite sleeping position and once again this women was there looking down at me. Once again I laid there afraid to move at all. Then I finally reached out to click on the light again
and I saw what looked like a gray or black dust just disappear into the air.

The  next day I told my girl friend about my experience that she just slept through and she just looked at me and said. yesterday was the anniversary
of my mom's death and she comes around like that every year just to see that I am OK I guess. However, I had a bad feeling about it all. To make things even more  interesting a few nights later my girl friend and I were out to diner with her sister and her sister's boy friend. My girl friend's sister stated to that the very night I had my experience her sister was being chocked by an unknown, unseen force. Needless to say, I slept for the next few nights with the lights on.

The Ghostly Hitchhiker

Several years ago back in PA. My friend and I took my new car out for a ride. We were just driving around and after about two hours of driving, I took my friend home and dropped him off at his house. The distance from town where we were driving around to my friend's house was six miles.

As soon as we got to the very edge of town, we saw a woman walking along the road. She was walking the same direction as we were driving and as we passed her I would say she looked to be in her 50's or early 60's. It only took a few minutes to get to my friend's house. As we pulled into his driveway, his father came out and asked if I could give him a ride to the service station in town as he had to pick up his car after having it worked on. I said that I would be happy to take him into town and he got in my car and we backed out of the driveway.

As soon as we were back on the road, we saw this woman walking along the road and it was the same woman my friend and I passed. I didn't say anything but, I thought, how could she have walked that far in just a few minutes and I didn't remember any cars going by my friend's house the three minutes we sat in the driveway, so I don't think she caught a ride from anybody.

This time she waved us down and asked if we could give her a ride into town. I  told her she was walking the wrong direction to get into town but, she looked very tired and so I said sure, hop in the back and we will give you a ride. She crawled into the back seat and we were on our way

In a minute we were approaching a sharp curve I started to slow down and as I  we approached the curve the women yelled for me to pull over now, she yelled pull off the road, our lives are in danger. Even though I had no clue what she was talking about, I did as she said and pulled off to the side of the road. As soon as we were off to the side of the road, a huge garbage truck came around the curve very fast. It was right in the middle of the road, The truck was going so fast that I could see the driver struggling to keep the truck under control.

As soon as the garbage truck had made it past us, I turned around to ask the woman if she was alright and to ask her how she knew that truck was coming because it was impossible to see around that curve. To my astonishment  and to my friend's father's astonishment, She wasn't there ! She was just gone. I even went back the way we came to see if she somehow got out of the car and there was no sign of her at all.

We were dumfounded, both myself and my friend's dad. With no clue as to what just happened, we turned around and headed back towards town . As we got to the very edge of town, there was this very same woman walking along the road again, headed out of town as she was the first time I saw her. I slowed down and I started shaking  and sweating  a very nervous type of shake as I drove past her. I was in that condition because, I didn't understand what had just happened or why it happened to me. However, I did and still do understand that, whatever it was that happened, It was in now way normal and, I believe this woman not to be of this world!

The Evil Up The Road

Back when I was a child my family lived on a very populated road about 4 miles outside of town. It was just off the main highway. If you followed this road about a mile and a half from the highway, you would come to a left turn onto a side road.  That side road was just a dirt road that was not paved. There was only one house back that road. I was always being told by my older brother and older sister as well as both my parents to never go back that road for any reason. My Mother always said that there was some kind of evil back that road.

Through the years I heard many of neighbors say stay away from that road as well. That was until one night not long after I got my drivers license.  My friend and I were out driving around just because we could. I had my license and my parents bought me a secondhand car and I could drive when and where I wanted to. I picked up my friend who lived about three blocks from me and we drove into town and hung out with a few other friends.

As we headed back home that night, my friend said he wanted to go back that road. I told him no way and that he as well as everyone else in the neighborhood has always said stay away from that road. As we got closer to home he finally managed to convince me to take that left turn and drive back the road of evil, as people in my neighborhood called it. I had to admit even though I was scared still, I always wondered what it was that was so evil back that side road and who lived in the only house back there because we never saw them whomever it was.

We made the turn and it was just a few minutes after 10PM. We drove past the short dirt lane where the only house on that road stood and we could see light in only one window of the house. We drove another half-mile or so and we came to the end of the road, a dead end. As I turned the car around, I got this nervous, sick feeling in my stomach knowing that we had to drive this road once again to get off of it. My friend looked at me and said that he didn't know what it was but that, he felt strange. I started to drive faster and right before we reached the short lane where the old house stood, we both saw what at first I thought was an elderly lady along the road.

As we got closer and I slowed down a bit we could both see that this woman was transparent. You could see her but you could also see straight through her. What we were seeing was an apparition. Her hair was long, straggly and her skin was as white as snow and it seemed that there was blood on her face and many other places on her body I stopped the car and we both looked out the passenger side window. She turned and looked in at us and then just disappeared right in front of us while she was standing there.

We took off and didn't waste any time. I was driving down that road like i was in a race car and to be honest, it is a wonder we made it to the end of that road alive and as I stated earlier, I had just had my drivers lichens two days prior  to this experience. I was not by anybody's definition, an experienced driver. Given my inexperience behind the wheel and as frightened as we both were, we are truly lucky that the car did not wreck with both of us in it. After what seems like a long time we came to the end of the road. We turned left and got back on the main road and went about a half mile and I pulled over and I was breathing hard. I looked over at my friend and he asked me what the hell was that we saw?  Then he stated, it had to be a ghost and then said please let's just get home. I started to pull out back onto the road and I checked my rear view mirror for any oncoming traffic and, as I looked in the mirror, there this woman was, sitting in the back seat of my car. I yelled for my friend to look in the back seat, as he did, she just disappeared into thin air again. Weeks later we both told our parents about our experience. Even though both my parents and his were upset that we even went back that side road. My friend's parents  told us both that about 50 years before my friend and I were even born, there was a gruesome murder back that road and a elderly women was murdered. They told us that this elderly women had been stabbed,shot and,beat up. My guess is, the woman we saw was the woman that was murdered on that road. I think her ghost walks that road at night. I can tell you one thing, My friend and I both to this day have never and will never go back that road again for any reason !

Living in Massachusetts Part #1

This is in from Eileen, sharing what happened while she was living in Massachusetts.
We lived in Mass for a few years in a huge house that we couldn't really afford to heat after the first year. It was myself, my husband and my year old son. I was asking my friends  if they knew about a more affordable place to rent. I watched my two friends look at each other and then they finally said, yes. I didn't think too much about that look at the time.

We cleaned it up and finally moved in. Almost immediately odd things started to happen. I bought a brand new pair of sneakers and set them next to each other when I took them off. I would go out and come back and find them on their sides. I mentioned it to my husband and he said, yeah, my boots keep doing the same. I thought it was just uneven boards.

The house had been a single 3 story family dwelling that had been made into 3 apts. One to each floor, It had a front staircase and a back staircase, as a lot of old houses in the neighborhood had. All 3 apartments used the back staircase, while the first two apartments were connected by the front enclosed staircase. We lived on the first floor.

I never had a bad feeling about the place. My son had his own room in the back of the house, off the kitchen. As a toddler tends to do, He didnt want to go to sleep and he would cry and fuss. A couple of times I was just about ready to go and see if he was wet or uncomfortable when I heard him start to babble and laugh and not long after that he would fall asleep.

Other things would happen. The bathroom door would never stay shut, I would check it, making sure it was latched properly but most of the time it would slowly open itself. Things I would put down were not there when I went back for them. I even lost one of my sneakers. I tore the house apart, thinking maybe my son had put it someplace when he was walking and playing around the house. I even checked the trash can and toy box. He tended to hide things. We found him hiding the car keys one day in the huge planted plant we had in the living room, We would never had thought to look there if we hadn't caught him burying them. I never did find the other sneaker when we finally moved out.

After a few months I was having coffee with some of my friends and knowing that 2 of the 3 had lived in the house at one time or another, if they had anything strange or odd happen to them?

They said yes, they both had, I asked them why they didn't mention it before and I really didn't get much of a answer. They  gave me the history of the house. It had one time been the home of a bedridden mother in her 90's and her daughter who had been tending her. The daughter was in her 70's and had a heart attack and passed away. by the time anyone figured it out, the mother had passed on also. The house had been boarded up for quite a few years before someone bought it and renovated it, breaking it up into 3 large apartments. Apparently though, they couldn't keep tenants in it for very long,, especially those with children.

My friend Jane had lived up on the 3rd floor with her very small daughter after her divorce from her first husband. When her daughter got extremely sick and was hospitalized, Jane would be at the hospital quite a bit. She would come home exhausted and very upset. One night, she was sleeping and woke suddenly and saw a woman standing at the end of her bed and she swears she heard the woman say that her daughter would be just fine. She said she fell back asleep and slept the rest of the night in a deep sleep. She went to the hospital that morning and her daughter had taken a turn for the better.

She thinks the woman she saw was the daughter of the house. She wasn't the only one of her family that had odd things happen. Her brother was over for his nieces birthday party when he and the rest of the family watched a toy duck cross the room with no apparent help what so ever. Her father had stayed over once and would not stay there by himself again after that. I did not find out what happened with that, but her father was a firefighter and was not frightened easily.

Jane also said that when she was getting ready to marry her second husband, she kept the wedding gown on the back of the bathroom door. She would go out and come back and the dress would be on the floor across the room. That happened a few times and she told me, laughing, that she should have listened to whatever was trying to tell her not to get married, because he turned out to be a big jerk. Jane and her daughter had moved out after the wedding.

A Haunted Condo-building in Waikiki

Photo by PJ 2005 Waikiki beach with Sky-rise Hotels and Condo buildings in the background

This is not a pleasant account of my experience but, the paranormal is not always pleasant. About 5 years ago, I worked as a security guard in a condo building close to Waikiki beach in Honolulu, Hawaii. I did the regular security patrols and what have you. I was doing that job in the same building for about 6 months and during my patrol one of the rooms I had to go into was the trash room, a large room that had trash dumpsters filled with all the trash from the tenants of the building. People would bag up their trash and throw it down the trash shoot and, it would go directly into the big dumpster.

For some reason every time I would go into that room, I would start to feel very uneasy. I always felt strange in that room and I always felt like someone was in there watching me. I could just feel someone's eyes on me' Although I knew I was the only one in the room. One evening the chief of security was on property and he and I were talking. I told him for some reason, I felt uneasy whenever I was in the trash room during my patrols. That is all I told him. I never mentioned to him that I also felt like there was someone in the room watching me.

He looked at me and started telling me why I felt so uneasy in there. He told me that many years ago a man and his wife lived in one of the condo apartments in the building. One night the man came home and for some unknown reason, this man killed his wife and chopped her arms, legs and, head off and put her in trash bags and stuck the bags in the trash shoot.  When the maintenance crew went into the trash room the next morning to take out the filled dumpster, one of them saw a trash bag with either an arm or leg sticking out of it and one of the crew called the police. As he told me this he also stated that they found the poor woman's body all except for her head. her head has never been found to this day. He said to me that a few other guards said they felt a strange feeling of being watched when they were in the trash room as well

Now I understood why I felt like I was being watched whenever I go into that room. Maybe this poor woman was there in spirit just looking at me and watching me hoping I would maybe help her find the rest of her body, or maybe her spirit was afraid to move on because part of her was still missing.
