Is Hālawa Valley haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Halawa is the oldest — the '650 that's the settlement, the 1,350 years that's the continuous. The heiau are the 10 — the temples that are the mapped, the luakini that's the sacrifice. The taro was the '1300s — the terraces that are the irrigation, the densest that's the population.

The tsunami was the '46 — the 111-foot wall that's the destruction, the town that was the gone. The Solatorio is the family — the generations that are the kept, the cultural hike that's the teaching. Halawa is the sequence — the '650 start, the '46 end that's the town, the artifacts that are the family.

The file keeps Halawa: the 650 settlement, the 10 heiau, the '46 tsunami, and the Solatorio family.

Halawa is the archive's Molokai file — the longest site.

Why this file matters

Halawa is the archive's Molokai file — the continuous Hawaiian.

A valley keeps its family — the file's suggestion being that Halawa's hold is the duration: the 650 start, the '46 destruction, and the Solatorio who keep.
