Aloha,
and welcome to the tour information page.
The
Hawaiian Islands,
and especially the island of O'ahu, are well known worldwide for their supernatural
phenomenon. Famed Hawaiian historian, Dr. Glen Grant spent much
of his life in Hawai'i studying these sites and wrote many books to
support his findings.
Growth
and development of O'ahu over the years transformed many sections of
the island to what it is today, a metropolitan/suburban city.
During this so-called progress, sacred grounds were desecrated,
buildings were built atop ancient burial grounds, and roadways were
constructed through rainforests that had been untouched since the
beginning of time. Roadways were also built through caves of
buried and beloved ancestors. Though steps were taken to culturally
preserve sacred areas, disturbance did take place.
On
our tours, guests are taken to some of the most haunted
places on O'ahu, if not in all of the islands. Oahu Ghost Tours® will take you close-up and
allow you to witness firsthand these
very
unique places...from
the much feared Night
Marchers, to the places where sacrifices were made to ancient gods and goddesses of Hawai'i,
and to
the more modern haunts, like those of old hospitals that housed sick
children during World War II...from orbs, to extreme and instant
temperature changes, to anomalies that seem to have no source.
Many of these places are history by day, and haunts by night! Our guides are some of the most experienced and are experts on telling the stories of these spooky places.
All stories are true, and all sites are real. Historical and
ancestral information is used, as well as eye witness accounts.
Hawaiian ghost tours are not like the typical ghost tours you may be
familiar with on the mainland or in other locations around the world. As
Hawaiians have their own way of dealing with the supernatural, you may
see and witness several ceremonial events at the places visited.
All of these events are important to the Hawaiian and their personal
beliefs. Please be respectful of these. Also, some of
the sites visited may not have a particular story behind the actual
haunt. The location may be just a reputed hotspot where paranormal
activity is extremely high and ghosts have made it their home for a
reason that cannot be explained.
The moon and its phases also play a
major role in the extent of activity that may be occurring at a site.

Pickups
for our night tours start in Waikiki at 7:20 pm at assigned locations.
(expanded evenings may be available). Your actual pickup time will
be noted at time of booking. Bring a camera (fast speed film recommended), and be prepared for what may lie ahead. We know this will be one
of the most exciting tours you've ever experienced!
Camera Tips
Catching a ghost on film isn't as
hard as you think. A camera is an effective tool to use to get
hard evidence that ghosts do exist. One thing to remember though:
ghosts most often appear as orbs, balls of light, or mists. Don't
get discouraged if you don't get a human-like form in your pictures. The
orbs are just as good.
Use film of no less than 400
speed and no greater than 1600 speed. Black and white works very
well, but make sure you have a camera with a low light setting before
taking B&W pictures at night. Also, if you have an SLR camera,
infrared film works well with a filter.
One other thing. Take lots of pictures!
* PARENTS PLEASE NOTE:
Parents should exercise their own good judgment when deciding to take
children on our tours. Some of the stories told can be graphic in
nature and may not be suitable for some children. If your child
frightens very easily or you do not want to subject them to the graphic
content of some of the stories, we would suggest not taking them along.
Parents can also to elect to remain in our van at locations where
stories can be too graphic.
** Some walking is
required to reach two sites. If you are not able to do any walking
at all, you may elect to stay in the van with our driver at these
particular sites.
Oahu Ghost Tours is totally
committed to your safety. Please read our
