Haunted Village

There’s a place in Moloka’i that in the past was the hideout of thieves and other outlaws. Some say the place is haunted and that the ghosts of those outlaws never left… Some others say you can still hear voices of children from better times…Others simply feel it’s an unfortunate place, cornered in an island that otherwise is a dreamlandMore recent events (it would take a while to narrate here) led to the owners of the land beheading hundreds of palm trees – something that according to ancient Polynesian traditions is a declaration of war – abandoning the area and then fleeing the island… The place then became abandoned to its own luck.The image I show you here is one of the many photos I took when I visited this area one night under the moonlight. It’s actually a fairly comfortable view of three of those poor decapitated trees and the lights from Oahu (Honolulu) in the horizon. Now…if you think this view it’s kind of sad, what you’d see if you turned around is something that left me speechless.
