The Story
A well-known tradition credits the menehune with completing Alakoko’s fishpond wall in a single night. HAWAIʻI Magazine’s folklore roundup also repeats stories of these elusive beings remaining in the surrounding landscape and playing tricks on passersby. This is a place-linked cultural legend, not evidence that the working fishpond is a haunted ruin.
