Aloha! Welcome back to the Ghostlore of Hawaii Podcast! I am your host as always, Jared!

Tonight's episode has been one of the most requested topics since I started the podcast; the Hauntings at the old Hilo Memorial Hospital. For decades locals in the Hilo area have talked of one tragic event that ignited the stories that surround the abandoned building. Sounds of crying babies, footsteps, disembodied laughter and more have all been witnessed onsite. But did the tragedy really happen, or was it all just a rumor? Along with discussing the history of the hospital, I'll cover the strange encounters that happened during a paranormal investigation conducted by the Kahuna Research Group back in 2013. Lastly, you'll hear several firsthand stories from locals as well as from staff who still worked in the building long after the hospital closed. Stay tuned...
