Customer Reviews

Great book!

This is a well-researched, eminently readable book. I deeply regret that I didn't know about Glen Grant's Haunted Hawaii tours when I went to the Islands several years ago. I found out about them later, and dreamed of going back to go on one -- but now that Glen has passed over, I don't know if anyone else will pick up on this.

" The Best and Excellent Scary Book Ever Published".

* Aloha "The Obake Files" Is The Most Intriging Book Of All Time, I Even Mention This Book On My Xanga Site (www.xanga.com/da_kronics_69). I Went As Far As Encourageing Book Readers To Go Out and Purchese It!!. "Glen.Grant" Is My Most Favoroble Author Of All Time His Work Is Excellent For Readers Young and Old His Work Unlocks Many Doors In The Human Mind Of Imagineition If His Work Doesn't Move You In The Belifs Of Supernatural Phenomenom I Don't Know What Book Will. " Glen.Grants" Passion For Bone-Thrilling Tales Have Made Him, Excellirate In Many Area's That Other Authors Olny Could Dream Of ( Well That Is My Opinion On The Author!!). The Story Which He Had Written That Made Me Most Scared Was That Of " The Face-Less Woman" Every-Time I Read That Entriy I Get "Chicken Skin" I Mean isn't That The Purpose Of His Work, To Make The Reader Feel Some Type Of Emotion?!?.While I Just Had To Jott Down My Thoughts Toward This Book Which I Have Done His Death Was A Shock To Me!!, But His Stories and Tales Will Live On Forever!!

Read at night, and look at the skin on the back of your hand

That's what Hawaiian's call "chicken skin"! You can't read a short page like "A Strange Encounter in Lahaina, 1927" (pg.48) without feeling that these are wonderfully unvarnished, collected archeologigal gems. Photos in back are quite interesting, as well.

Glen Grant has done it again!

Obake Files is a book based soley upon the supernatural legends of ancien Hawaii such as choking ghosts, nightmarchers, and 8 ghost photographs. A book highly reccomended for those late nights alone!

Very much explains spirits in Hawaii!

Growing up in Hawai'i, I have learned of the ghostly spirits. Glen Grant writes of the legends of Hawai'i and how people who have encountered the supernatural, saw and felt. Glen also gives storytelling sessions in Waikiki and around the island. He is an excellent storyteller and I would highly recommend you buy this book! His other books are great also! Keep it up, Glen!
