Drums and More

Kaneohe, HI
07/2005

My husband and I were having the same weird nightly experience. When we would try to go to bed we would hear drums outside of our above ground basement apartment, and see flickering firelight through the blinds. When we would open the blind the drums would keep going the the firelight would disappear. After a week or so of this my husband went outside to investigate - there was nothing. But as soon as he came back in it would start again. Now this apartment already had other weird stuff going on, cabinets doors would open and close in their own. Things would disappear and reappear in odd places. It was getting to a point that we were getting worried so I mentioned this to a coworker who was a local. She said the drums and firelight sounded like the night marchers, and to make the activity stop we had to put ti leaves under our bed and Hawaiian sea salt on our window sills. Sure enough, as soon as we did that the drumming and firelight stopped appear. But the weird activity inside the house continued. After consulting my coworker again she assured me the stuff going on in the house was just the work of the Menehune, and if we left them little offerings and gift they wouldn’t be so mischievous. So we did that and sure enough the more negative experiences stopped, and it was a relatively peaceful experience. The reason so many weird things happened here were because the house was built right near the base of the Old Pali road, built the indigenous Hawaiians before Hawaii was illegally seized the the U.S.. So we were literally living in the middle of one of the most active areas in the island for Hawaiian folklore.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
