Many of the hotels in Waikiki were built on Hawaiian burial sites...BUT the bones were first transferred elsewhere designated by the kahunapule followed w/a Hawaiian ceremony. Some of the hotels like Hale Koa Hotel (where I worked for a # of yrs) and next door, the Hilton Hawaiian, are among some that are haunted...so claims many employees over the years.
Bones were discovered during the H3 construction. Same procedure after ensuring it wasn't a homicide. Our neighbors across the street (2nd owners) in Kailua, Oahu decided to put a pool in and while digging came across some bones. Police were called. Around the time of the disturbance, haunting's began in their home. They closed the ground back up, had a Kahuna come out and bless the property...no pool.
Edited to add the rest of the story...no pool but they can walk to a white sand beach in 2-3 min. Who knows if their decision would've been different if not for that...
