Final Thought… "If there’s something strange, in your school classroom… who you gonna call? Lopaka Kapanui!"

What if there’s something strange, in the station's boardroom? Who you gonna call?

Local master ghost storyteller Lopaka Kapanui recently visited PBS Hawaiʻi, to reveal Oʻahu’s top five most haunted schools for the upcoming "What School You Went?" audio podcast. During the recording, something very strange happened that both of us felt. Over the years, Lopaka and I have honed our spiritual gift to feel and see what others may not. While science has no evidence that ghosts are real, one in five Americans say they’ve encountered a ghost or spirit.

If you believe, I urge you to listen in. If you don’t believe, give us 20 minutes of your day… this episode may change your mind.
