The Untold Story Of The Terrifyingly Haunted Kaimuki Kasha House - Hawaii · Mystery Archives Episodes

0:00
The oldest of Native Hawaiian chants describe the Hawaiian
0:04
Islands, the spirits that inhabit them, the forces of
0:09
nature that shaped them, and all the living things upon them as
0:14
inextricably connected. And perhaps the wisdom of the
0:19
native peoples is true and not just folklore.
0:25
When authorities are called to a residence for an incident, what
0:29
they will see will shake them all to their core.
0:32
A supposed entity with an insatiable hunger for blood and
0:37
corpses makes its presence known.
0:41
Are the infamous tales true? This is what we will discover as
0:46
we dive into the untold story of the haunted Kasha House of
0:51
Kaimuki located in Hawaii. Beyond the waters of its beaches
1:11
and the lush green canopies of its forests, the tropical
1:16
paradise of the islands of Hawaii are an idyllic home or
1:21
getaway for many. However, within the mists,
1:26
shadows permeate, and where the veil is thin between our world
1:31
and the next, those shadows sometimes whisper.
1:37
In Japanese folklore, the creature known as the Kasha
1:41
ain't a terrifying picture. Its name translates to Fire
1:46
Cart. It is a creature that is known
1:49
to frequent populated areas and where its diet consists of
1:54
consuming the flesh of fresh human corpses.
1:59
According to the lore, these creatures are a type of baki
2:03
Neko or a type of hellcat that lives among human beings under
2:08
the guise of a common house cat or a stray.
2:13
They are bipedal and larger than most people.
2:17
When they make themselves known, they are accompanied by the
2:21
flames of hell and strong thunderstorms are left in their
2:27
wake. It is only during funerals that
2:30
their true forms are revealed, and as a result, they are known
2:35
to snatch the corpses of the freshly deceased and spirit them
2:40
away to hell for punishment. A type of Grim Reaper, if you
2:45
will. Akasha will animate a corpse as
2:49
a puppet to do its bidding, and then we'll consume it as the
2:54
ultimate punishment for one's misdeeds in life.
2:59
Our story begins around 1940 on Oahu in Hawaii, in a large house
3:06
that stands at 8th and Harding in Kaimuki, its foundation
3:12
resting atop 2 beds of lava rock.
3:16
The original story that began the infamy of the Kaimuki house
3:21
tells of a young couple who moved into the home hoping for a
3:25
good and beautiful life together.
3:29
But almost as soon as they moved in, this shared dream would
3:34
deteriorate. The neighbors began hearing loud
3:38
bangs and crashes almost every night, and as the episodes grew
3:44
in intensity and suspecting that perhaps domestic violence could
3:49
be taking place, one of the neighbors called the police.
3:55
When the police arrived and questioned the couple, instead
3:58
of seeing one or the other upset or abused, they told them
4:03
something else instead. They began to divulge to the
4:07
officers that they were being attacked by something that they
4:11
couldn't see. What happened to the young
4:14
couple following this particular night is unclear, but what is
4:18
known is that they moved out a short while after the incident
4:23
sometime later, on August 13th, 1942.
4:28
On this day, an article would appear in the Honolulu Star
4:32
Bulletin newspaper, one that described a bizarre happening
4:37
that had just taken place, and this incident was supposedly
4:42
caused by the evil doings of kahuna.
4:47
For further context, in ancient Hawaii, treatment of the sick
4:53
was based on the belief that poor health was caused by
4:56
malevolent spirits or disease producing demons.
5:01
Illness was considered the result of sorcery or, in some
5:05
cases, the ramifications of one's actions.
5:10
Among the Hawaiians, there existed a group, the kahunas, or
5:16
those who were keepers of the secret, whose wisdom had been
5:21
gained by divine guidance. Kahunas were grouped into
5:26
various categories, some good and others bad, and sorcery was
5:32
practiced by the group. It was known as the Kahuna
5:36
Anani. So essentially kahuna is a form
5:39
of witchcraft with both white and black magic.
5:44
On the 9th the article referred to, police officers were called
5:48
to a house by a woman during a strong thunderstorm.
5:53
During the call, the lady kept repeating she's trying to kill
5:58
my children over and over again. Her words kept being interrupted
6:04
by loud crashes of Thunder and what sounded like items being
6:09
destroyed in the background. Upon arriving and entering the
6:14
house, the officers couldn't believe what they were seeing.
6:19
Those present began to witness something that was truly
6:23
horrific. The woman who had initially
6:26
called was screaming in the corner of the main room as her
6:31
three children were levitating before her and everyone.
6:38
Upon approaching them, the officers as well as the children
6:43
would be slapped, pushed and hurled across the room by a
6:48
sinister, invisible force. The children were a brother and
6:54
two sisters, ages 1018 and 20. The main officer in charge was a
7:03
police Sergeant. Prior to the call, the family
7:07
began to smell a very strange odor like that of sulphur
7:11
permeating their home and then the physical attacks began.
7:17
As the force attacked that was involved, the mother of the
7:20
family ran into her room and returned with several items.
7:25
She frantically began fanning tea leaves and began throwing
7:30
salt towards the entity. After several minutes, her
7:34
efforts seemed to work as the children and the officer
7:40
released from the clutches of whatever this thing was.
7:46
The family and the officer would vacate the premise following
7:50
this night of horror. The woman who had called the
7:53
authorities believed that the happenings were a result of
7:57
black magic that had been placed on her by her ex-husband whom
8:03
she had recently left. This is no doubt probably the
8:07
most famous stories surrounding the Kaimuki house given the
8:11
press it received in the various media outlets.
8:15
But it certainly would not be the last. 30 years later,
8:20
another incident would too garner the attention of the
8:23
people. Another frantic late night call
8:27
had dispatched a patrol car in Kaimuki.
8:30
The girls who lived there had supposedly heard strange noises
8:35
of someone moving around and talking inside of their house.
8:40
At first, thinking someone had broken into their home, they
8:44
phoned the authorities. But following the call, the
8:49
noises began to escalate in intensity.
8:52
Then one of the women felt the ice cold grasp of a hand on her
8:58
arm. The girls, all three, ran out of
9:03
the home and sat in their car until the officer arrived.
9:08
Upon hearing their story, he would go inside and check the
9:12
home for an intruder, but would find no one.
9:17
Deciding to spend the rest of the night with one of the girl's
9:19
mothers, they asked the policeman to follow them to the
9:23
mother's home to ensure their safety.
9:28
As the girls drove in front of the officer, they began to
9:31
erratically swerve from side to side, ultimately pulling into a
9:36
vacant parking lot upon approaching the vehicle with
9:41
concern. The policeman later wrote this
9:44
in his report. As I approached the vehicle I
9:49
could see two of the girls screaming.
9:52
The girl sat in the middle in the back was fighting a person
9:57
that could not be seen. She was very clearly being
10:01
strangled. I opened one of the back doors
10:05
and reached into the vehicle and to my shock, a big, strong,
10:13
calloused hand that could not have possibly been that of a
10:17
teenage girl grabbed my arm and twisted it.
10:23
Upon freeing myself, I called for backup.
10:28
The answering officer was certainly prepared for a parking
10:31
lot fight, but not one with a ghost.
10:35
Within minutes, the other officer would arrive and with
10:39
all the color drained out of his face, the original responding
10:44
officer told him that there was a ghost in that car.
10:48
By this point, all women involved had exited the car and
10:52
were hysterical, crying and screaming.
10:57
Continuing to quote the officer's report, I told the
11:00
girl who had been choked to get in my patrol car and the other
11:04
two women to ride with my fellow officer.
11:08
But as soon as the young lady sat in my vehicle, which had
11:11
stayed running during the incident, a motor died.
11:16
It died and wouldn't start up again.
11:19
Placing the girls back into their original car, the officer
11:22
tried to start the vehicle again and it started as if nothing had
11:28
ever been wrong. Wanting to get these frightened
11:31
girls home safe, the original officer and the responding
11:35
officer agreed to continue to follow them.
11:38
But upon pulling out of the parking lot and almost as soon
11:42
as they had driven about 5 yards, suddenly one of the
11:46
girl's vehicle's doors flew open and the same girl who had
11:52
previously been attacked was thrown out of the vehicle.
11:57
Upon rushing to her position to check on her, she was again
12:01
tearing at her throat and making noises as if she was being
12:05
strangled. She had also incurred some Rd.
12:09
rash. Together, the two policemen were
12:13
not strong enough to pull her hands away.
12:17
Terrified, and believing the matter to be a spiritual one,
12:21
one of the officers ran into the nearby Oasis Cafe and came back
12:26
with a handful of salt and a glass of water which was
12:30
spritzed upon everyone there. And as the drops touched the
12:34
young woman, she finally was able to catch her breath again.
12:40
In later interviews, the officer would tell the press that his
12:44
grandmother had told him that this was a method to make ghosts
12:48
go away. And perhaps his grandmother was
12:52
right. Given the time frame in which
12:55
these stories occurred, most involved may no longer be with
12:59
us, so corroborating details is nearly impossible.
13:04
But these tales have certainly made the Kaimuki house infamous.
13:09
Now, there are several possible explanations as to why and how
13:13
the home became haunted by whatever paranormal entity or
13:18
entities. Again, details are scarce, but
13:22
I've done my best to research and put together the most
13:25
cohesive theories possible. The first theory refers to a
13:30
father who, after his wife told him that she was going to leave
13:35
him, decided to do the unthinkable and in the lives of
13:40
his two children and his wife that still resided in the home.
13:46
The wife and son's bodies were buried in the backyard, but the
13:50
corpse of the daughter was never found.
13:54
The second theory is that of a strange love triangle.
13:59
A man was dating a woman who was dating another woman in secret
14:04
without the man knowing, and upon his discovery of his
14:08
girlfriend's secret affair, he decided to take the lives of
14:12
her, her girlfriend, and ultimately himself within the
14:18
walls of the Kaimuki house. The original house, from what I
14:23
could gather, has since been demolished and another home
14:27
built atop where it once stood. And one of the many questions I
14:31
have is this home haunted, just as the original home was?
14:38
Was the haunting, if it existed at all, the result of vengeful
14:42
spirits of those who had met their demise there?
14:46
The result of a bloodthirsty entity known as the Kasha, who
14:52
would do anything to feed upon the flesh of the freshly
14:57
deceased? Or was it something else?
15:02
Was it perhaps the result of Native Hawaiian black magic
15:05
being practiced on the premises or nearby?
15:09
Or someone cursing another using this magic?
15:13
We may never truly have the answers to these probing
15:16
questions, but one thing is for certain.
15:21
There was once a place that harbored darkness, a black void
15:26
that existed in the heart of paradise, the supposed home of
15:31
the angry souls of the dead, and possibly a creature from a world
15:37
that is not our own. So if you see something that's
15:41
beautiful on the surface, just know that one must be cautious
15:47
because something evil could be lurking just beyond the shadows.
15:53
