Mānoa Falls Trail
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
Natural landmark · local-legend
The Story
The trail’s supernatural reputation includes spirits associated with banyan trees and the distant sound of drums after dark. Haunted Places connects the drumming to huakaʻi pō, or night marchers. The account places ancestral presences in the valley landscape rather than identifying a single named ghost or a particular historic death. Night-marcher beliefs are living cultural traditions. No ritual or after-hours access implied.
