There’s A Terrifying Haunted Cave In Hawaii And It’s Not For The Faint Of Heart
While the Hawaiian Islands don’t experience fall weather like much of the mainland, we can certainly partake in all things Halloween, from candy corn and pumpkin carving to haunted houses. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good haunted house as much as the next person, but I’m personally partial to real tales of the paranormal, of apparitions and spooky sounds at haunted places. Luckily, Oahu is full of haunted places, and today we’re featuring one of the scariest: Kaneana Cave.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.

The cave sits at the base of a cliff outcropping and is approximately 100 feet tall and 450 feet deep. The cave is thought to be 150,000 years old, and was once underwater, carved out by the crashing waves of the Pacific.


It is also said that kahuna (priests) often performed rituals within the cave’s inner chambers, and it is believed that the souls of deceased chiefs haunt the cave to this day. There are countless accounts of paranormal sightings and unsettling events taking place in this cave, including the alleged disposal of murder victims during the early 1900s.

Did we mention that many consider the back of the cave to be an opening to hell and that there have been sightings of a creepy creature covered in scabs with glowing red eyes emerging from the lava tubes at the back of the cave? Click here for a reported sighting sure to give you chicken skin.

The interior of the cave is dark and slippery, so if you plan to check out this mysterious cave, wear sturdy shoes and bring a flashlight. There are various small tunnels that lead from the main cavern have not been explored, mapped, or maintained. For your own safety, please do not enter these
