What does it take to be considered a master storyteller? On this episode, Lopaka Kapanui, THE Hawaiian Ghost Story Guy, shows us how it's done as we read from his beautiful, haunting book "Mysteries of Hawaii." From the Night Marchers to spirit trails to the Menehune, Lopaka walks us through his home state's rich tapestry of folklore as we laugh, and maybe even cry just a little. This is one of our best shows yet.

Episode 1 - Death Of Starr Faithfull

Lyrics and Spoken Words: Amber Sun
Music by Vicente Bueso.

Music of the Night

When twilight sets upon the trees, 
And stars come out one by one, 
All dressed in shadows, you come over. 
The night is whispering her song.

I hear the music of the trees – 
They murmur as we’re passing by – 
The sound is mellow and so pure 
The magic music of the night.

The darkness set upon the earth, 
Deep shadows all around us, 
Yet I, before I leave this place, 
Breathe in your music only once.

Your music swells within my soul 
With joy and sorrow, life and dreams. 
Don’t make a sound, simply listen: 
The time stands still, or so it seems.

When dawn has come upon the trees, 
And stars go out one by one,	
All dressed in light you go your way. 
The day has come, I’m on my own.

Music of the night (with Amber Sun)
