Paranormal Investigations Hawaii
A horror/comedy fiction audio drama podcast set in the Hawaiian Islands which reimagines some of the urban legends and ghost stories that local Hawaii residents have grown up with and asks the question, “What if a well-intentioned but out of his element paranormal investigator tackled these cases?” Harry Wong runs Paranormal Investigations Hawaii based in Downtown Honolulu. A former police officer, Harry left the force under mysterious circumstances to devote himself full time to investigating claims of the paranormal. Each episode features a different urban legend where Harry will attempt to unravel the underlying mysteries of the case while searching for something important which he thinks can only be found amongst the ghosts and demons he encounters. That is if he can survive them first.

Harry investigates mysterious occurrences at an office thought to be haunted and tackles his scariest case yet as he battles black magicians, native guardian spirits, government bureaucracy, and worst of all...his mother! Tune in as Harry tries to solve the mystery of The Cursed Cubicle!
The historic Iao Theater on the island of Maui has been haunted by a mischievous but harmless ghost for decades. But when the pranks start to turn deadly, Harry is brought in to uncover the true entity behind The Phantom of the Iao Theater.
In this special Halloween episode, Harry confronts the failures of his past to discover the truth behind a ghost girl and a monster which preys on the souls of the innocent. Can Harry stop history from repeating itself again this Halloween? And more importantly, is Bride of Chucky a romcom or horror movie?

When we last left Harry in Part 1, he had been stalked and attacked by the mysterious Bow Tie Man, a minion of the insect god Mahino. The evil Mahino was about to emerge from his 1000-year hibernation and had nefarious plans that involved Harry's bloodline, and possibly Harry's very soul. Now, along with his trusty new companion Dr.Lindsay Gouveia, Harry was about to breach the hidden sanctuary of the cult of Mahino. Will H...

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll pee your pants as Harry recounts the heartwarming story of how Makahiki, the littlest menehune, defeated Krampus and started the Hawaiian Christmas tradition of putting a pineapple in Hawaii children's Christmas stockings. Stay to the end for an all new all original Hawaiian Christmas carol!
When we left off last week, we were in the middle of a case which presented many questions to be answered.
Why was there a ghost dog living at The Contessa? How do you find someone who was supposed have been dead for the last 50 years? And most importantly, why do middle aged women like boy bands?
By the end of this episode, 2 of these mysteries will be resolved while one will forever haunt our nightmares. Here is Part 2, the conclus...
The Contessa is reportedly the most haunted building in Honolulu but if you ever visit, don't be surprised if among the many ghosts you might encounter there, some may walk (or float) on four legs. Such is the case in this week's episode where we meet The Ghost Dog of the Contessa.
By popular demand, for those of you with short attention spans, we feature the first Short Scare!
Short Scares are short episodes that cover one small supernatural encounter from the case files of Harry Wong. This week's Short Scare recalls Harry's mother and aunt's unfortunately meeting with The Faceless Woman of Waialae Drive-In.
