Is Kapihaʻā Village haunted?

No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.

The record — long form

Kapiha'a is the edged — the 'Four Seasons' that's the neighbor's manicure, the 'wild village' that's the contrast kept. The 'ko'a stands' is the prayed — the 'coral shrine' that's the fishermen's altar, the 'promontory' that's the ocean's watch. The '800 years' is the lasted — the 'settled coast' that's the generations' run, the 'fields upland' that's the food's spread.

The 'students mapped' is the learned — the 'GPS traced' that's the kids' work, the '60 features' that's the site's count. The 'heiau kept' is the sacred — the 'walled platform' that's the worship's form, the 'ahu altar' that's the offerings' spot. Kapiha'a is the beside — the 'resort mows' that's the modern's edge, the 'village stays' that's the ancient's hold.

The file keeps Kapiha'a: the edged village, the coral shrine, the mapped features, and the resort's neighbor.

Kapiha'a is the archive's Hawaii file — the ancient village beside the manicured resort.

Why this file matters

Kapiha'a is the archive's Hawaii file — where students mapped the ancestors' village beside a resort.

A village keeps its edge — the file's suggestion being that Kapiha'a's hold is the contrasted: the 'resort beside' that's the modern's frame, the 'ko'a stands' that's the prayer kept, and the 'students mapped' that's the memory's work.
