4.0 out of 5 stars A chilling look into Hawaii's supernatural traditions., January 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Obake Files: Ghostly Encounters in Supernatural Hawaii (Chicken Skin Series) (Paperback)

As a college student on the mainland I, like most students, have been required to read thousands of pages of text that at times puts me to sleep. This book on the other hand will do just the opposite. It will make you wonder and question what we call reality. Grant takes Hawaii's rich history of oral communication and legendary tales , and combines them with recent unexplained experiences of ordinary people to give the reader that unique feeling that comes with ghost stories. I recomend this book to anyone who loves to hear tales of odd occurances and to those readers who love to hear a a good story told by a master storyteller. The editing in this book isn't perfect and to understand all the "local" terms will take some time but it's well worth it for the supernatural enthusiast. If you're anything like me, you have a hard time looking in your rear view mirror at night or even going to sleep after reading a few of his stories.

This is a well-researched, eminently readable book. I deeply regret that I didn't know about Glen Grant's Haunted Hawaii tours when I went to the Islands several years ago. I found out about them later, and dreamed of going back to go on one -- but now that Glen has passed over, I don't know if anyone else will pick up on this.
