As one of the state's leading researchers on all things paranormal, Kapanui has made it his life's work to breathe life into the islands' most mysterious legends.
A native of Oahu, Kapanui first became fascinated by ghosts as a child listening to his grandfather's haunting stories around the bonfire late into the night. This early passion sparked a lifelong obsession with cataloging and sharing supernatural Hawaiian history.

Now in his late 50s, Kapanui shows no signs of slowing in his paranormal pursuits. For this dedicated ghost hunter, each new discovery fuels his insatiable quest for more haunted history.
