Ep. 13: The Dead Can’t Dance (Season 1 Finale)

Note:  For best listener experience, headphones are suggested but not required.    Aloha!  Thanks for joining me on tonight's virtual bonfire!  I see you got the fire started, mahalo very much!  I've been so busy. The trailer you heard at the start of the episode was for my friends Amanda and Trevin with the Seriously Sinister Podcast.  They discuss "killer facts and spooky true petty crime stories" which was my cup of tea.  Check out the Seriously Sinister Podcast's linktr.ee in the show notes.   Tonight's story involves the bloody history of Pakaka Heiau (temple), bad TikTok dances, and the repercussions of disrespecting the dead...   So sit back, pop a green bottle and....yunodakine.... and let's get into this.     *Note:  All names and characters were created for this story.  Any similarities to a person, or persons are purely coincidental.   The Ghostlore of Hawaii Patreon is now live!  Click the link below to become a Patron and gain access to additional bonus, full-length and mini-episodes only available on Patreon!
