Aloha Ghostlorians!

Thank you so much for your patience while I've been working on Season 3 as I've dealt with some pretty rough stuff in my personal life (womp womp lol) and I apologize for the delay! But now we're back in business! The theme for tonight's episode was one I've been wanting to cover ever since season 1, so I'm excited to finally be able to share it with you all! The topic: The Giants of Old Hawaii.

Legends of Giants have been part of Hawaiian folklore for centuries. In this Season 3 premiere, I'll be discussing several of the giant-themed stories I found that were based in Hawaii, along with a few tales from around the world that share eerily similar details. Later in the episode, I'll dive into a discovery found at a construction site on Hawaii Island that may change how we view Hawaiian mythology, while also bringing up the question; were Hawaii's giants actually part of Hawaiian history?

So crack open a green bottle, spark up some paranormal pakalolo.... and let's get into this!
