Hawaii is haunted...

We were assigned to post a Hawaiian Ghost Story. Here are a few "Haunted Hotspot" on Oahu (all stories from http://www.carpenoctem.tv/haunt/hi/):

Pounder Beach- Kukuna Rd.
It is said that the old foundation of a house, on top of the rock, is haunted by a woman that died trying to save her drowning child. She walks aggressively trying to find her child. She seems angry with anyone and everyone. Late at night, the child's cry for his mother can be heard, as well as the pitter patter of the child's feet. Children who look like her child have been taken by the mother's ghost.

Alakea St. and Merchant St.
For nearly a century, Hawaiians have considered this area haunted by Wai-lua, or the Night Marchers, ghosts that come out at night to take over the streets and play games. The sporting specters have terrified generations of natives here, but few Haole, or Caucasians, have witnessed the phenomena.

Hale Lokelani
This dorm used to be a children's hospital during World War II. There are reports of doors opening while dead-bolted in this building. There have also been several ghost sightings in rooms here. People have also heard strange noises in the middle of the night.
Room 208 - The outline of a cross that was once removed still remains. There are reports that an exorcism was performed here. There are also rumors that a suicide occurred here. The sound of radio static can be heard coming from speakers without wires in this room. Students sleeping here have awakened because they feel someone putting pressure on their bodies. They also have feeling of being choked.
Room 319 - This room was once a morgue for soldiers during World War II. People have seen the ghost of soldiers here.

Highway 3
A couple was driving on this highway when a police man pulled them over. He approached the car and told the couple that the children that were playing in the back seat of the car should be wearing seatbelts. The couple looked at the policeman strangely, because they had no children. The policeman looked in the back seat, but it was empty. When the couple arrived home, they checked the back seat again, and found little hand prints all over the back window.

Kalihi Valley
It has been reported that if you drive past the bridge entering the forest, you can hear a soft sound saying, "Come Here." While driving at night, you will see a red cross burning. It has also been reported that the gear in your vehicle will change to neutral when you return.

Waikiki Parc Hotel - 2233 Helumoa Rd.
An employee, that recently passed away, still punches in for work. His magnetic punch card has been cancelled, yet the machine still records someone punching in with his card. This has happened on several occasions; strangely, the records only show him punching in, never out.
