Summary

What does it take to be considered a master storyteller? On this episode, Lopaka Kapanui, THE Hawaiian Ghost Story Guy, shows us how it's done as we read from his beautiful, haunting book "Mysteries of Hawaii." From the Night Marchers to spirit trails to the Menehune, Lopaka walks us through his home state's rich tapestry of folklore as we laugh, and maybe even cry just a little. This is one of our best shows yet.

0:35.9	where we talk about spooks, spectaries, and all the other things watching us from the shadows

0:52.4	mountain cabin you dream about, but can never quite reach. How are you, Paul? I'm very well. How are you?
0:59.4	I am also very well. We just got off the recording, or we just finished recording, rather the

2:06.2	As I've mentioned, I was sorting through all my vinyl the other day. And obviously I've got
2:11.2	far too many 80s, seven inches. But I've realized I've got some songs I thought I had. I don't own.
2:18.5	So I'm a bit like what? So I'm making an emergency visit to a record shop tomorrow,
