The ghost tour opened a side of Hawaii I'd never seen or heard of. As soon as I saw ominous Ulupo Heiau at Kailua, I was hooked. What a strange place! Huge. Spooky. And
the
tour guide had the stories to prove it! What was the history?
What spirits walked these high stone platforms? Who beat the
drums? Did menehune build the menehune pathway? I simply had to
find out.I went to the State Library and State Archives and for three years read historical tomes, Fornander, Summers, and other old books and Hawaii became a different place to me. Every big rock had the potential of being a god stone and probably was! Powerful kings, mighty chiefs, beautiful queens, scheming priests, human sacrifice, birthing stones -- Hawaii had it all. And the people I interviewed had experienced it -- there really were spirits out there, night marchers walked!
Thank you Chris and Oahu Ghost Tours - I'm so glad I went on that tour -- words aren't enough.

Aloha Oahu Ghost Tours! My girlfriend and I took your Orbs of Oahu tour a few weeks ago. I have to tell you that we were expecting a good ghost tour, but nothing like what we saw! Of the eleven ghost tours that we've taken at various cities on the mainland, nothing even comes close to this! After our first stop, we weren't sure that we could continue we were so scared, but we're glad we did. Definitely worth every penny!
Steven and Maria F.
Hi. I wanted to write to let you know that your tour, Orbs of Oahu scared the crap out of me and my entire group. I think you remember us. My sister refused to get out of the van at Morgan's Corner. All I can say is it looked like we had the chicken pox when we left this place, the 'chicken skin' was so major! And Uncle Joe, our guide was great! I think we would like to go on another one of your tours, but I'm having a hard time convincing my sister right now. She still remembers what she saw on that first stop.

Dear Oahu Ghost Tours. I should have listened to the person on the phone who said that the Orbs of Oahu driving tour was 'very intense'. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana. We have voodoo, and other weird things here. I've also taken most all of the ghost tours here. I can honestly say that nothing here even compares to this tour. I have never been so scared in my life! The cemetery was real spooky, and that first stop we did was unbelievable.
Believe it or not I am looking forward to taking this tour again! I will however make sure I'm wearing Depends next time. Almost lost it a couple of times!
Rebecca M.
Aloha Joe and the rest of the Oahu Ghost Tour team. Just wanted to drop a quick email letting you know how much we enjoyed both your Orbs of Oahu and Sacred Spirits tour! We had never been on a ghost tour before, and were really looking for something different. Well we found it in your tours. We're so glad that the concierge at our hotel recommended you to us. We highly recommend your tours to anyone wanting to experience the supernatural. We are believers now!

Thank you. FYI - Loved the TOUR it was great. We had a great group and tour guide. The tour was historically informative and had a lot of mystery to it. I recommend it, especially to local folks. I am planning to take the bus tour (evening) soon. My cousin's are dying to pack up this morning and head back to downtown to explore everything (in the day light). This has been a worthwhile and educational experience... thank you for continuing the tours.
Hi Chris,
We both Robert(Drew) and myself would love to thank you, and
Uncle Joe for the best tour that will leave us to talk about for
years to come.
It was so informative, exciting, listening to the history,
heritage and the wisdom and knowledge that our guide Uncle Joe
gave us.
We got some excellent photo's from the Children's graveyard, the
beach and other places that people would not dare to go late at
night.
I have attached some photo's of some orbs, please feel free to
use them on your site.
If anybody I know is to go to Hawaii, we would definitely
recommend your tour.

I’m trembling just recalling
the events that took place that night. But I’m taking one for
the team just so you can enjoy your bloodcurdling Halloween
night oh and don’t forget the heebie jeebies on the side.
I went on the Orbs of Oahu tour offered by The Original Oahu
Ghost Tour with uncle Joe. He told us all these scary stories,
and made us sign a waiver form just incase we’d “disappear” was
he serious? I laughed in the face of fear, how naive of me. I
didn’t know what I was in for, I honestly thought we’d drive
around for about an hour hearing ghost stories and I’d be back
in time to watch the 10’clock news. I was horribly wrong. It was
a 5 hour tour, 5 hours filled with hair raising supernatural
experiences which was enough to scare me out of sleeping for
that night.
We went to all the spots, Morgan’s corner, Old Pali road,
Chinese cemetery and many other places which I’m pushing in the
back of my mind, too painful to recall. I will be honest, I did
not see anything…not with my naked eye that is, but through the
camera lens the ghosts definitely made their presence known.
Orbs were seen in every click of the camera. But that’s not the
eerie part, you could hear and feel their presence. The beating
of drums in the moonless night and the sensation of cold air and
hot air filling my lungs was proof that “they” were among us.
There were so many times uncle Joe had to chant a prayer to
protect us from unrest spirits. Thankfully uncle Joe’s heart and
mind was strong enough to protect us all. By the 3rd hour of the
tour, I was aching to go home, but I told myself to man up.
Uncle Joe told me trust him and I did…and I survived.
So if you’re looking to sink your teeth into a plate of scary +
horrific + terrifying activity well then take a bite out Oahu
Ghost Tour. I dare you. Good luck.

Hi there! Thanks Uncle Joe for one of the best ghost tours ever (10/10/07)! You're right about this being the REAL DEAL! The presence of the Night Marchers really freaked me out...I felt the heat and cold and sudden thickness of air, the aroma of fragrant flowers suddenly replaced by the stench of purification, the sound of wailing and chanting as well as the sound of conch shells being carried through the vicious rising wind and witnessed your supple dark green ti leaf suddenly turn brown, withered and frayed after 2 encounters with malicious spirits. That was really inexplicable! Thanks for bringing the extra protection against the evil entities as well as the EMF detector. But I still think a ghost followed me back to the hotel because at 5:13 am I heard slow deliberate pacing and wrustling of leaves at the foot of our bed. I tried to awaken my husband (a non-believer white man) about the sound and he turned over still asleep and said,"mana" I asked him what he said and he awakened and denied he said anything . I told him that he did say something like "mana" and he rolled his eyes & shook his head.( he definitely wasn't saying "Mama" ha,ha!)
We stayed in Oahu until the 17th...all the while I was hoping to run into someone who still spoke Hawaiian but didn't . Then at the duty free store at the airport I saw an Hawaiian/English dictionary and looked up "mana" which means "supernatural power." Whoa!!! That was a wild coincidence! Mahalo for the ghost tour! -

Dear Chris and Oahu Ghost Tours team,
Just wanted to pass on our appreciation for a great Sacred Sights tour yesterday. Uncle Joe and Jope made it a wonderful day.
Uncle Joe exceeded expectations with his local knowledge and genuine enthusiasm and Jope made sure we were safe and happy.
Joe made every effort to ensure we were not inconvenienced by the Seattle film crew. As someone who has worked in the travel industry for over 20 years and also previously as a guide, I am aware how hard it can be juggling a tour when film crew are present and it was handled with utmost professionalism.
My company is involved in small group adventures and responsible travel, so I very much hope that our destinations will include Hawaii one day and then I will have the pleasure of writing internationally about your great company.
I have attached a couple of small photos and please pass on our sincere thanks to Joe and Jope for making the day so enjoyable and educational.
Mahalo,

I've lived in Hawaii for 20 years, and have heard many of the "stories" regarding Morgan's Corner, the Pali, etc. When my younger brother and his wife came to visit, I thought it would be fun to do something different. I signed us up for one of your tours. The night of Oct 22, 2007 was phenomenal. We went to the Pali, Morgan's Corner, the Heiau, the Chinese Cemetery and up by Tree Tops in Manoa. Here are some pictures I got of orbs at the Pali site and at the Heiau. I did not see these until I downloaded the pictures into my computer and adjusted the brightness.
At first, I thought it was all a bunch of hui, until the experience I had at the Cemetery site.
I stepped into the portal area at the Banyan tree. Within seconds, I felt a very small hand grab my hand and squeeze it tightly. I could sense that it was a little girl, and she was very scared. She had been stuck there in the portal for a long time and wasn't sure how to cross over. I knew I had to help her. By some fortunate accident, we happened to have a young girl in our tour who was Chinese, and spoke it fluently. I asked her to tell the little girl that I was going to help her. She stepped into the portal and while she was talking to the little girl, I was able to reach a spirit on the other side, who would help her cross over. I had her tell the little girl to wait, as she had an ancestor who would be coming for her soon. This ancestor had been looking for her, but for some reason, had been blocked and had been unable to connect. I guess through me, she was able find the path to the girl and she thanked me for assisting in her search. I left there that night knowing that the little girl would soon be re-united with her family and be able to cross over to the other side. I know this may sound like a crazy story to a lot of people, but I have always been able to sense spirits and talk to them since I was young. I do not consider myself physic or anything, I just think I'm sensitive to the spirit world, and they know when I'm around. I actually believe that my late husband's spirit was there with me last night, and it was he who found the little girl's ancestor and brought her to us. After this endeavor was over and I was back on the cemetery road, I immediately felt the spirits of 5-6 children running around our group trying to play tag with us. They were happy children who were laughing, and tugging on our clothes.
I want to thank Uncle Joe and Robert for a very unique experience. I am actually thinking of going on one of the other tours that are offered here in Oahu.
Sign me "Sensitive in Ewa Beach"
Aloha Uncle Joe and Jope
Hi Uncle Joe
I would like to thank you for a wonderful Orb tour that you conducted on the night of Oct. 29th.
Now that I am back home in New Hampshire I keep wondering about something.
The last place that we were at [I can't remember what the area was called] my sister started to cry and panic and you talked to her and sent her home with some tea leaves.
Could you please explain to me what exactly happened there? We did capture mist in a picture we took but from what my sister told me it was as though she had something pass through her. I would really like to know what took place there.
I have always been very sensitive to energy and area's where there is residual energy. I have had many supernatural experiences in my life from a very young age and I have been told by many reputable people in the paranormal field that I am clairaudient and claresentient but I have never developed those gifts.
So if you could please just tell me what your honest opinion is as to what took place there I would appreciate it, because I did not sense any energy that would be dangerous or evil and I have had those energies around me before.
I was also wondering if the young lady in our group who said she saw construction workers; and held the EMF reader was working with your group.
Any clarification you could send to me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for a great tour!
Judy
JudMy teenager was the one who requested we take the Orb tour. She loves to watch shows about hauntings and such. I don't - didn't - really believe in that stuff. Uncle Joe drove us to a number of sites, and shared the history of each. Along with the other folks, I had brought my digital camera and was taking photos, but never expecting to capture any "orbs." Was I surprised! This tour was amazing, scary, and convincing. Having returned home, I've been sharing some fascinating photos of orbs with friends and co-workers. Most cannot believe that what is on my camera is real. All I can say, is, "You would have to have been there." I strongly recommend this tour to anybody - especially those who have never experienced the paranormal. Uncle Joe is an excellent guide, who shares a deep respect for the history & culture of the islands. Thank you for an enlightening experience.
Karen P., Washington State
Thank you for the fun and all the information last night. We had a great time and was able to learn so much more about the island. Robert was our guide and we had such a good time. My son Nickolas (8) was the one that really wanted to go on this tour and pushed us all to book it, so glad we did. I am sure Robert remembers him as my son loved to talk story with him and would not leave his side. We are leaving soon (Wednesday) to move back to the mainland. My son wanted me to ask and I forgot at the end of night- but do you have any t-shirts that we could buy for him. He asked if you had them, I didn't think so but still wanted to ask just in case. Thank you and we enjoyed all the stories and travels.

Aloha,
Thanks for the great tour last night (May 23rd). I just
wanted to send you folks a photo my Wife and I took at the
Ulupo Heiau. You can see on the upper left hand side of the
photo what appears to be the backside of a naked person,
minus a head. There are also many orbs in the area as well.
I zoomed in and included that shot on the same photo, on the
lower right.
Anyways, if you would like to post the photo on your site
please feel free. Once again thanks for the great tour, we
live up on the North Shore but will return to these sites in
the future.

Hi Joe and Robert,
Hi there,
I just wanted to thank you for an awesome tour even in the
pouring rain and allowing me to place the candies as gifts
to the children in the Japanese cemetery. There is a photo
where I took a photo looking over my shoulder and there are
very faint large white orbs.
Thank you again,

Hello,
My family took both your Honolulu City Haunts and your Orbs
of Oahu Tours. We had Cousin Joe for the first tour and
Uncle Joe for the second tour. We enjoyed both tours and
had a great time. My son was really taken with Uncle Joe
after being possessed by a spirit at the Morgan's Corner
stop. The spirit had grabbed me, then rode in the van with
us before leaping into my child. Uncle Joe helped him with
this, got the spirit out of him, and even contacted us the
next day to see if we were alright.
Both tours are well worth the money, lots of fun and you
will learn lots about Hawaiian culture, history and
warriors. We have taken vampire and ghost tours in New
Orleans, but this one was much better. The stories are very
educational, the spots we stopped at were dark, spooky, and
sometimes down right scary.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting
Oahu. It is well worth your time and money.
Thank you Uncle Joe and Cousin Joe for the great time we
had.
Sincerely,
The Ilene, Wendell and Andrew H.
Aloha, Me and my husband thought your tour
was great. We went on the orbs by night tour
the 30th June 2008. I'm sure you remember us, We were
the ones with the video camera. We were so amazed with what
we had seen and I have attached some still shots of my video
camera for you to have a look at. We captured this on out first stop
about 2 minutes into the walk. I have a video of it that
goes for around three minutes. Don't worry uncle Bob I still have
your address and will send you a copy soon, as we are in the
process of moving house. Thanks Renee
To Uncle Joe,
My wife and I enjoyed
your tour last Wednesday evening. It was as intense as
you described and we felt the spirits were with us
during the tour. Following the tour and on the way
back to the hotel we made sure to spread salt around the
outside door of our hotel room and at the foot of the
bed to wart off any spirits still hanging around. We
did not sleep well that night and thought nothing of it
other than the intensity of the tour. The next morning
my wife talked about some strange feelings she had of a
visitor the in the other room during the night. The
next morning a video tape of our trip was missing. This
was not of the tour but rather the whole taping of our
stay in Hawaii. It was missing and yet the door was
still bolted from the inside as I made sure of it before
going to bed. We are still missing it and feel that the
spirit world might have claimed it. Have you heard of
this happening before? My wife brought the video
camera on the tour along with her digital camera but
felt uneasy about taking photos or videos of the spirits
during the tour so she just carried them with her on the
walks. She thinks the tape might have been taken out
of spite. That maybe this was the way of the
supernatural to get back at her for her thoughts of not
trying to disturb them. I really don’t know but it is
the only explanation that makes sense. I would not be
surprised to one day on one of your tours to have a
small DVD disc show up.
Anyway we enjoyed the
tour immensely and would take the tour again.
Thank you!

Chicago, IL Hi Uncle Joe and Brother Robert, My family and I went to the Orbs of
Oahu Tour on July 29, 2008. We had a very good time. Very
scared in some of the places. We took lots of pictures and
got lots of activity! I would highly recommend this tour
when anyone visits Oahu. We were the group that went to all
of the Orbs Tour except for last part where the Warrior
Assassin was at. We left the Chinese Cemetery at peace and
happy, and as we got to the van it got windy/drizzling. It
was about less then a 5 minute drive. It started pouring
rain as soon as we got where the Assassin Warrior was at,
and couldn't go far as we entered the gate. As we got into
the van (the rain let up a little), and about a few feet
after we left the area it just stopped raining. We all
agreed in the van that it was a sign from whom ever was
watching all of us that we shouldn't have gone there. We
took lots of pictures and had lots of orbs and energy
lights. This tour was very professional and
when things got a little too much for people Brother Robert
would come and take people back to the van. Also, when people didn't feel safe
at a certain location Brother Robert would stay behind in
the van with them. I don't know what else to say about the
tour, but it was worth the money! I don't want to spoil to
much for people who will take the tour in the future, but we
would definitely do it again! Venice, Lindsey, and Stephen Aloha, Hey I went on the Orbs of Oahu and
the experience was crazy! As a local I went on many "ghost
hunts" with my friends in high school even trying to freak
ourselves out at Morgan's Corner. We never got to see
anything because we would be too scared to even look around.
But after this tour I will never go on another ghost hunt
with my friends again! Uncle Joe was an amazing tour guide
and made us feel completely safe the entire tour. Sent from my iPhone Aloha!!
I just want to thank
Braddah Robert and Braddah Joe for a great time last night!!
It was a birthday that my son will never forget! I
plan on taking the tour again with some friends from work!
Here are some pictures. any questions...don't hesitate to
contact me! Hope to see you folks
again really soon!
My
party of 5 went on the walking tour of down town
Honolulu with Joe on September 11th. We
learned so much from Joe on the tour and had a really
great time. We immediately went back to the hotel to
check out our pictures. Attached picture 312 is a
picture I accidentally took. There appears to be a man
sitting toward the top of the stairs. I took two more
pictures, not knowing I had already gotten a picture and
there is nothing in the other two.
While
at the hotel reviewing the pictures, we found two other
pictures that we believed had apparitions in them, but
I’m having a hard time finding them now! If I come
across them I will be sure to forward them to you.
Thank
you and thank Joe for such a great experience. I
definitely learned more about the culture and history of
Hawaii than I did at any of the other activities we did,
even the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Thank
you,
Amber
Hi there,
My name is
Christine & I took your Oahu Ghost Tour with Uncle
Joe & Cousin Robert on 9/16/08. I took this picture
at the Hala site. I was not able to see anything
clearly at the time but when I got home, there it
was. I hope you find it as cool as I do. The tour
was great and I am recommending it to anyone who
visits Oahu.

Thanks so much
for a memorable night. My boyfriend and I went
on the orbs tour Friday October 10.
We had a very
interesting time, and I cant wait till I come
back to do it again. (I was the lady with the
cane)
Here is a very
eerie picture of the couple that embraced the
hugging tree. I know that there was another
couple on the tour I believe from Australia who
had taken the evening walking tour then did the
orb tour; they took a picture at this time as
well and got a very impressive orange/red orb
directly over this couple. The three other
pictures I took when this couple was embracing
the tree had nothing on it!
Ghost
Tour of Oahu Aloha, Oahu Ghost Tours Thank you for letting
me go Oahu Ghost daytime tour. (5hours) It was last week
Wednesday the van came to Ala Moana Hotel to
pick me up ON TIME!!! ( that was amazing and I
like it) I met uncle Joe who tour guide, he is
very friendly, professional and good to take
care of people. He is very much Hawaiian and
also proud of himself as a Hawaiian. This tour, we can learn
about Hawaiian history, Heiau, customs, and
people etc...also very rich Windward side. He gave and let us
taste wild sugar cane, coconuts and taught us
how to make Kukui Nut oil and let us feel that
was very special. That kind experience, if we
were lucky we could do it. In PCC or any other
Luau have place to have such activities but only
for a few people, not for everybody. This
tour all people can do because it's a small
group. (yay) Unfortunately we
had rain so we couldn't go hiking to see
waterfall. He told me he take
people to the place very secret so I think we
don't have tour anything like this. If somebody wants to do
something very much Hawaiian activities, I'd
recommend!! Thank you again letting
me have this wonderful experience with my
parents. Thank you, uncle Joe! Mahalo Chiho Hashimoto Ko Olina Activities &

Hi, These are some of my
photos taken on Nov. 21, 2008 at the Battle of
Nu'uanu, Pali lookout. Our driver was Robert.
We really enjoyed the tour learning about the
history and such. Robert was very informative.
Notice the movement of
the orbs on image 2558, they appear to be moving
in different directions. I had a lot of problems
with my camera that night. The batteries would
die before several of the pictures were saved.
I went through many batteries that night. This
was a spur of the moment activity that we booked
that morning at our welcome breakfast. If I had
known we were going to do this tour, I would
have brought many more batteries with me. I will send more
pictures from that night later this week. Thanks, Lorna Arizona
Dear Oahu
Ghost Tours,
Thank you so
much for a unique experience during the Orbs
of Oahu Tour. Not only did my Mom and I
capture several orbs on camera, we learned a
great deal about the culture and history of
Oahu and the Hawaiian people. Uncle Joe and
Melissa were phenomenal. We cannot thank
them enough for sharing their knowledge and
wisdom with us on the tour.
My Mom and I
were so enthralled with the experience that
we forgot to write down the names of the
places that we visited. I know that you are
all very busy, but if you would mind sending
me a list of the places we visited during
our tour on Monday, December 29, 2008, I
would appreciate the assistance. We are
currently working on our scrapbooks for our
visit to Oahu and wanted to write down the
places we visited next to the pictures.
Attached is a
picture that Melissa took of me while I was
standing inside the tree at the Chinese
Cemetery. Uncle Joe and Melissa thought that
there was possibly an orb in the tree at the
time. Thank you again for your time,
experience, and dedication to honoring those
who came before.

Here are the pictures that I promised I
would send. I took the walking tour in
October. My husband and I were visiting
Oahu for our honeymoon. We had a great
time! We took the tour with Brother Joe
and Melissa. It was Melissa's first tour
and we were so honored to take it with
her. All of my life, I have had an
interest and great respect in the
afterlife, and even though I was excited
about taking the tour, as we began, a
strong feeling of calm came over me. I
felt that the tour was so well done, the
history was amazing, and I was so happy
not to just learn about ghosts, but to
learn about the history in Oahu.
Uncle Joe,
We had the most amazing time on our tour
with you. We just wanted to say Mahalo!
Aloha!
Good morning, My daughter and I went on the 5 hour
nighttime tour. The brochure said
it would be intense...let me tell
you, that was an understatement !!!
Uncle Joe did a marvelous job of
informing us about the history of
the Island and it's "inhabitants".
We were skeptical at first. But,
are no longer! I could hardly
believe what I saw, felt, heard and
even smelled.... I have a whole new
respect for the spirits. I have to
admit, at times I was scared beyond
comprehension. Kathi from
Sacramento, CA We
went on your tour on 2/12/09, Thurs. night.
My husband Gary and my son, Kyle (9, the boy
with long hair), went as well. Kyle will
always remember this tour, and especially
you Uncle Joe. He can't stop talking about
how much you comforted him when he felt the
spirit was in him. He felt very safe with
you and says you were like an angel to
him.... I thank you for that. Hi there My husband David
and I took one of your city haunts ghost
tours on Saturday 14th February with
Melissa. We had a great time and thought you
might like to see a couple of the photos we
took in the palace grounds and graveyard. Best wishes We did the Sacred
Sites Tour back in October and have not
stopped talking about it since! It was
a FANTASTIC day and worth every minute of
it! THANKS Uncle Joe and TwoBoy!
We will never forget you!

Sacred
Spirits Day Driving Tour" - Feb. 27,
2009
I had such
a great time and found the tour both
educational and entertaining. Painless
education I always say. Uncle Joe
really took his time to make sure we
understood the importance of these
scared locations and he ALWAYS showed
his respects to the spirits residing
there. Not only his words but actions
were communicated on how we should
always respect the Hawaiian entities.
We felt privileged but welcomed at ever
stop we visited. We also learned
natural healing which was very
interesting to each of us whom all had
some type of ailment we could use some
help with. These spots visited were
certainly NOT on the maps so to discover
these areas was such an honor. I have
already promoted this tour not only
because of its entertainment value but
because I feel (as Uncle Joe) it is sooo
important to learn the history of our
islands.
Mahalo once
again for such a great opportunity to
“discover” true Hawaii and give our
aloha to Uncle Joe!
Always,
Bernie
Aloha Chris,
Aloha,
My name is
Karen and I’ve been on the tour a
few times, I’m a RN from California
and I’m also the case manager /
investigator with a group called
Diablo Valley Paranormal. I wanted
to share with you all something very
cool! I caught an EVP that was
recorded back in January on Chinese
New Year’s. We were at the cemetery
and one woman that had been on the
tour before who lives there had a
EMF detector and was getting some
very strong responses for about 10
minutes.
To listen to
this EVP it would be best to have
head phones on and to listen to it a
few times. The EVP is a voice of a
male, its very whispery and breathy,
as most EVP are.
Uncle Joe and
cousin Joe were there as well as a
young boy that was on the tour and
myself and the woman with the EMF
detector.
You will here
she is asking questions and the EMF
detector is responding as well as a
male voice…
Woman: “Do
you like we are all here?”
“Would you like us to go away?”
Then you hear
the young boy ask if it beeps for
yes etc…
There might be
a quiet response “yes” in there but
it was spoken over, then I talk and
Joe talks…
Woman: “Do
you like me?”
Male voice: “yes,
yes very much”
Woman: “Are
you a girl?”
Male voice:
“No”
Woman: “Are
you under 10?”
Male voice:
“No”
I will back to
visit 5/6 – 5/11 so I will be
calling to book a tour for next
Friday

Hello,
I am Alvin
L. Douglass, I went on the tour
with Joe as our guide, I would
like to post a few of the
pictures from experience. I
took about 377 pictures and over
70 have orbs or other strange
occurrences. Let me know what
you think. By the way, I have
taken over 5000 pictures with my
camera and have never had
anything like this happen.
The tour
was outstanding, I loved the
stories and had something tug my
shirt on the Pali. Joe was
great, his knowledge and
professionalism were
unsurpassed!!! I plan on doing
more tours in the future and
look forward to the experience.

Hi, Dear Oahu Ghost
Tours, We had such a
good Halloween night on this Graveyard
Shift tour. (Despite being
very creeped out at times!) Uncle Joe &
Joe were great and we're already looking
forward to our next tour! I've attached
some pictures that I hope you'll find
useful. =) Sincerely, Ms. N. Triolo

Took this shot on low
shutter speed. This lady
in the tree is the one
that was taking crazy
shots all night with her
camera. Ignore all the
weird lights because
that is the low speed of
the camera taking in all
the lights and I could
not keep my camera
still. The clouds up top
too are simply clouds
amongst the mountain
behind the tree and
light bringing in
through them.
BUT…this lady kept
stating that her
shoulders felt heavy .At
first I thought it was a
dbl image because the
shirt is the same. But
look at the face. If you
zoom in…it is not her at
all. She never opened
her eyes.
The second shot is a
normal shot taken 2
seconds prior.
Thank you again.
We had a great time.

My family and I took the tour Orbs of Oahu hoping for a good
scare.
When we went to the dreaded Morgan's Corner, my sister found
it harder to breathe as did I. We smelled the food that the
woman was cooking before she was murdered.
When we went to see the Night Marchers, the spirit that
roamed knew we were coming and he let us know he was there.
Well, we recovered and are living our happy ghost-free
lives... for now.
Thank you so much, Uncle Joe and Brother Joe.

We took the Orbs of Oahu Ghost Tour on Monday January 12,
2009. It was well worth the price. Our guide was Uncle Joe;
he was wonderful, knowledgeable, funny, kind, smart - a
fantastic storyteller, and the perfect guide for the 5 hour
trip. We felt safe and cared for the entire time. We loved
him! He expertly handled our group – we had an obnoxious
mother-daughter team; he was very good with them.
I know that we will take the tour again, and the other two
next time we are in Oahu.
Thank you for the experience.

While I was on vacation in Hawai'i, my mom and I
booked a driving ghost tour. I love going on
ghost tours of any city, they are usually full
of history and interesting locations, and
definitely leave you with "chicken skin"! I did
the
San Francisco Walking Ghost Hunt
with Sam
earlier this spring,
and in January 2007 Marcy and I took the
Haunted French Quarter tour in New Orleans
(so very cool, I recommend to everyone!!)
However, as cool as those both were, the Oahu
tour was the scariest, and the most ... well,
downright creepy!
It
was my mom (Wendy), my younger sibs (Dove and
Fred), and I ... Nannie and Papa stayed behind,
because they think ghosts are silly. We met our
tour "bus" at the Hawaiian Hilton village and
drove to meet the other tour members, and guides
Uncle Joe and Cousin Robert. Uncle Joe reminded
everyone that you have to have a strong heart
and a strong mind to protect yourself- nothing
can harm you that way. We were all given sea
salt (to neutralize negativity) and we were off
to the first stop, the
Nu'uanu Pali Lookout!
Now, we had already seen the Pali Lookout
during
the day and it was beautiful, not creepy at all
(see right). Well, except for the fact that it
was the site of a terrible battle between
Kamehameha and the defenders of Oahu, most of
whom were driven over the side of the cliff. As
we made our way up the now dark highway I could
not shake the feeling that someone was watching
me- you know, that prickly
eyes-at-the-back-of-your-neck feeling. We were
taking pictures into the darkness trying to
catch orbs; in fact, my camera died after this
stop, I only have a few good ones!
The second stop was one of the creepiest. It was
a place called
Morgan's Corner, named
after Dr. Morgan, who had a house there. His
neighbor, and older Mrs. Wilder was savagely
beat to death by two escaped prison inmates,
possibly looking for Dr. Morgan's money. While
we were walking up to the site one woman said
she felt a presence on her shoulder, and Uncle
Joe told people to take pictures of her. In
every
picture
there was a large orange orb hovering on her
shoulder. As we got closer our electro-meter-mathingee
started going crazy. Everyone was waiting,
slowly shining flashlights around the area as
Uncle Joe repeated Hawaiian prayers ... and then
... we saw something! I try to keep myself as
skeptical as possible, since 90% of paranormal
activity can be explained away by the
environment-
but I'm telling you, we saw something! It
was like ... a smoky, thin cloud... it was
suddenly there, moving to the right, and then
faded away. My mom was shining her flashlight
right in that area, and we both saw it at the
same time. I was more surprised than scared; and
then it was time to go. When ghost hunting, you
can always feel when you need to leave, and
soon!
We also visited the
Manoa Chinese Cemetery,
built on the single hill in a valley, where the
qi of the valley collected. At the top of the
hill is an old banyan tree, and is supposed to
be a vortex, a portal to the other side. It was
very peaceful there.
Our last stop was by far the most creepy.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the name, but it
was the head of a hiking trail near the
cemetery. It was a spot where the much feared
Hawaiian Night Marchers
travel- these apparitions are often accompanied
by the sounds of drums, chanting, footsteps. We
didn't see
much, just shadows of people (where shadows
should not have been!!) but we had a sensory
experience! Imagine- it's night, in the
"jungle". It's hot, oppressive, with the
slightest of breezes, just barely moving the
leaves on trees. Suddenly, the smell of flowers
surrounds us, strongly, where there are
no flowers!
Then a cold
breeze starts, and turns into a wind-
and does not
disturb any of the surrounding foliage!!
We all had chicken skin at that point! People
were hearing things, my mom heard someone
whisper in her ear- I think I still have marks
from where she grabbed my arm so tightly! The
feeling at that spot was so disturbing ... we
all got out in a hurry!
I have to say that it was by far my most
interesting, productive ghost hunt ever.
Amazing tour! This was definitely the highlight
of our trip to Oahu! Attached are some photos
to use as you wish. I had a ton of amazing
photos, these are definitely the best. Thanks
again!

As for the pictures, I sent all of the
ones that might have something on it. I
want to let you know that it was raining
that evening and I did get a lot of
raindrops on my camera, but I constantly
cleaned that lens. There were one or two
photos that had what looked like
raindrops but they looked like they
floating up. I also enclosed the photos
of the bird that Melissa told us was
always in the tree.
I hope you all have a blessed and
prosperous new year. I want you to know
that my husband and I will never forget
the tour and I personally feel like a
different person by taking it. God
Bless!

My name is TJ and I host a podcast called
"The 13 Skulls" about the paranormal. My
family and I were in Oahu last week and took
the Tour with Uncle Joe. He was terrific! I
will be recommending this tour to everyone I
know. Uncle Joe was very knowledgeable,
energetic and friendly.
I have been on a few tours and by far Uncle
Joe was the most genuine and the fact that
he is Hawaiian made the tour and what he was
telling us that much more exciting and
interesting to hear.
I appreciate what you guys are doing and
will be sending you the audio and photos
from our tour as soon as I can get them
uploaded.
Thanks again for a great tour Uncle Joe!
Have a great day and take care....

Sorry not to write sooner but I've been
off island. I wanted to let you know
what excellent guides Uncle Joe and
Wayne were in Pihana Na Mamo's recent
"Sacred Spirits" field trip. They were
informative, entertaining and interacted
well with the students, always having
their well-being in mind. The pacing of
the tour was perfect , even with a delay
on our part. Everyone had a great time.
Thank you Oahu Ghost Tours for being so
accommodating and please convey my mahalo to both Uncle Joe and Wayne.

Attached is a photo I took when I
went on Orbs of Oahu Tour on the
14th July 2009.
It was taken at the place where the
man ate the children, I can't
remember his name.
We had just gotten out of the van
and were standing around waiting for
the last few people
to join us. So I decided to take a
photo while we waited. I was very
shocked and a little scared
when I saw the photo cause I was
expecting to just have a photo of
the pitch black darkness
that was in front of me. I waited
until I got back in the van before I
showed the rest of the people
as I to scared to look at it while
we where out there especially when
Joe made us stand in a line
and said if something touches you
know that it's not anyone standing
behind you.
Also I want to say thank you
cause when we were at the Chinese
Cemetery I went and stood in the
middle of the tree and I asked for
my brother who had died when he was
15 to join me. I have never felt his
presence so strongly before. I will
never forget that feeling and will
always remember that he will always
with me standing on
my left side. When I got back to the
hotel I rang my mum back in
Australia to tell her. She was glad
to here that my brother was there
with me while I was on holidays
without her and dad.
Thank you again for the wonderful
experience.
