Haunted Hawaii

Hawaii has 12 documented haunted locations in the HauntBound index. 12 are rated family-friendly, 6 take bookings.

Hawai'i's haunted landscape is quieter and more careful than the mainland's. The stories here cluster around grand old hotels on Waikiki and the Kona coast, places where guests and staff have passed down decades of reported apparitions inside buildings that welcome visitors every day. HauntBound treats the islands' sacred sites and burial grounds as history first, not tourist stops, and holds that line here too. There is no dedicated Hawai'i trail guide. The national route and its companion guide cover the wider Pacific region, and this page exists to document what's here respectfully, one hotel at a time.
