Chicken Skin Tales: 49 Favorite Ghost Stories from Hawaii
reviewed Hawaii Stories Mana Kahuna Obake Pele Spiritual Ghost Nightmarchers on + 175 more book reviews


Aloha! Mr. Grant has collected a series of stories from the original people and they are fun to read. This is a quick read and can fill up that time sitting in the doctor's office or at the car shop. The ghost stories envoke feelings of "chicken skin" a Hawaiian term that we here at the mainland call "goose pimples or goosebumps". It's one thing to read the story about the teenagers; it's yet another when it's a real family with a small child in distress. This book will make you want to seek out the Hawaiian kahunas (spiritual leaders) when you visit Hawaii just to ensure a safe experience. Mahola! Pau.
