Cemeteries are eerie, creepy, disturbing – especially at night, and definitely when they are abandoned, or even the site of hauntings. And while Hawaii has no shortage of cemeteries, here are a few of the most prominent, and creepy.
Known as Mauna ‘Ala (fragrant hills) in the Hawaiian language, this is the final resting place of two prominent royal families: the Kamehameha Dynasty, and the Kalakaua Dynasty. In the early 1920s, remains were transported from the main building to tombs constructed on the ground.
These historic tombs at the Siloama Churchyard, constructed from lava rock and lime mortar, have begun to deteriorate and collapse throughout the decades. Despite a recent effort to restore several of the tombs by the National Parks Service, the graveyard still lends itself to the eerie – especially at night, or in black and white.
