Dukie - obviously you were not the only one who experienced the same thing. Obviously, others in your family knew about what would happen.
I understand plenty of spirits at Laupahoehoe because of the tsunami. I have read about all he many deaths that happened to school children and teachers because of the tsunami. Auwe. |

"back in the '30s or 40s there was a huge tsunami that claimed the lives of about 120 people including children who were at school."
The sad part of the story, which few remember, is that the school buildings were unharmed by the tsunami. When the ocean withdrew, the teachers led the children out onto the ocean floor to pick up fish and what not. Few survived when the ocean returned. If the children had remained in the classrooms they would have been fine.
To help erase the memories of the tragedy, the school buildings were moved to a lot on the Puna side of Hilo (Panaewa)on the side of the highway, where they remained for many many years. After 50 years or so they were bulldozed, and the site is now the Kulani Prison farm site.
When the tsunami hit Thailand recently, a Hawai'i resident saw history repeating itsself- people heading out onto the ocean floor to pick up fish. Being beter educated on the subject, the person yelled "tidal wave!" and then realizing most didn't speak English, "Tsunami!" A few lives were saved as a result, but most continued out onto the ocean floor. These stories are to emphasize the importance of a worldwide Tsunami awreness campaign- everyone should know, as we now do in Hawai'i, that when the ocean recedes you run for high ground.
By the way, Duke, so many inexplicable things have happened to me in my life that in spite of my materialistic scientific basic belief structure, I cannot discount experiences others relate as truth just because they are impossible to justify with our limited knowledge of how our universe works. I do have to wonder how your relatives know that the "spirit" you heard was trying to steal your soul, though. But I certainly beleive you heard, and were led by, something...

I still don't understand why the light comes on when I flip the switch; how can I claim somethimg I didn't see doesn't exist? I see the light every day. "There's more to think of than Y'alls thought of, ain't it?"

There are places where the spirits are quite present, but not in a malevolent manner. Places where I have really felt presence of spirits: Gettysburg; Antietam; Ulupo Heiau; Halema`uma`u; The Great Serpent Mound; Haleakala; Laiea Point and a place that was my Pawpapw's land, where there are Native American petroglyphs carved into a rock and there is lots of petrified wood in the area. There are plenty of places where you can feel the strong mana if you just let yourself be quiet and let yourself feel what the land and the spirits are trying to tell you.
There are also places where I get the very bad vibes. Blennerhasset Island in the middle of the Ohio River, I feel something oppressive there; one certain place at Antietam; the St. Bartholomew plaza in front of the church in Santo Domingo. I don't know why (well, except for the place at Antietam -- you can still set the ruts in the road, in the middle of a pasture or a cornfield - lots of blood in the earth there).
Also by the kitchen at Monticello in Virginia. |

One of my most chicken skin moments started in the most mundane way- I was at my parent's house and needed to take a dump. My parents live in lower Puna and so naturally don't have a flush toilet- the lua is about 100 feet behind the house. Possibly totally irrelevant is the fact that the original heiau that Pa'ao built when he arrived on the Islands- the site of the first human sacrifices in Hawai'i- is on their property, but that is the front yard...
Anyway, it was quite dark and overcast, but I see well in the dark and almost never use a flashlight. So I headed out to the lua, and there was the door in front of me- I reached out to open it when suddenly I realized it was glowing faintly, which is why I could see it so clearly; and then I realized that the door in front of me was not the door to my parent's lua- the lua was about twenty feet to the right...
Talk about chicken skin- I think every hair on my body was standing straight out. I kept my cool, went and used the real lua which I suddenly needed to use more than ever. Then went back into the house where my parents and a few other family members couldn't help but wonder what had happened to me. I told them about the door, and my mother thanked me for not letting my curiosity get the better of me and going to check out what was on the other side.
I have to admit it never crossed my mind to open it in the moment, but ever since I have always wondered what would have happened if I had walked through it...

| That is the door to the underworld. I've read plenty Hawaiian stories about going through the door. I'll see if I can find some of them to let you know what books they were in. I think if you would have gone there, you would have left this world. It was not time for you to do so, therefore, you noticed what was going on and corrected yourself. I think probably an aumakua caused you to notice before it ws too late. |
