Aloha!  Welcome back to the Ghostlore of Hawaii:  Paranormal Paradise podcast!  A show about the haunted Hawaii most visitors don't get to experience during their short time to the Islands.  
In episode 2, we're sticking to the Kona side of the Big Island of Hawaii.  This is a special episode as it's the first of many to cover a paranormal experience that I witnessed FIRSTHAND.  The fact I was with another person who witnessed this same event, adds validity to my struggles in trying to understanding what happened that night....
So sit back, pop open a green bottle, spark up that paranormal pakalolo (whatever it takes to get you through the night), and listen in on why you shouldn't whistle at night in Hawaii....
