The island palace under the baseball field—Kamehameha III’s court.

Mokuʻula is a site in Lahaina, Hawaii. The island palace under the baseball field—Kamehameha III’s court. The presence its accounts keep returning to is the one they call the moʻo. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

Mokuula is the buried — the 'ballpark' that's the covered, the 'royal island' that's the beneath. The 'Kamehameha III' is the '40 — the 'Constitution' that's the signed, the 'capital' that's the Hawaii. The 'Kihawahine' is the mo'o — the 'lizard goddess' that's the guarded, the 'Mokuhinia Pond' that's the filled.
The '1914' is the filled — the 'mosquitoes' that's the reason, the '2-3 feet' that's the buried. The '2023' is the fire — the 'burned remnants' that's the revealed, the 'restoration' that's the planned. Mokuula is the piko — the 'recovery' that's the center, the '16 royals' that's the buried.
The file keeps Mokuula: the royal island, the Kihawahine goddess, the 1914 fill, and the 2023 fire restoration.
Mokuula is the archive's Lahaina file — the buried capital.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Mokuula is the archive's Lahaina file — the sacred's return.
A pond keeps its island — the file's suggestion being that Mokuula's hold is the buried: the 'ballpark' that's the covered, the 'Kihawahine' that's the goddess, and the '2023 fire' that's the unearthing.

FILED CLAIMS — 2 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] legend: The moʻo guardian is documented folklore. Mokuʻula's file is thin on proof and long on persistence — the standard profile of American place-lore. 'Mokuʻula' preserves the telling; the record keeps it filed where it belongs, as lore. As folklore it's unkillable: the story is too good, and the place too fitting, to let go.

· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported a presence at the site. Mokuʻula in Lahaina, Hawaii carries the report the way old places do — as part of its identity. The reports are anecdotal — consistent enough to record, thin enough to stay unproven. Whatever walks there, it walks often enough to keep the reports coming. The reports keep the address on the map.
