Ghost Story: Kahala Mall

In class today we shared ghost stories that either happened to us, we've heard or some we made up on the spot. It relates to the events that are happening with Maxine in The Woman Warrior, for example, the Sitting Ghost.

There were sights of a woman with long hair, no face and no lower half, accompanied with doors slamming shut, at the old Waialae Drive-In. The drive in was built over half a grave yard, which is where this no-faced woman was believed to be from. When the Waialae movie Drive-In was closed, the woman moved to the new Kahala Mall theatres, which was just across the street. And just like the sightings of the old drive-in, a woman with long dark hair is seen through the many mirrors leading to the bathrooms. When her reflection is seen, no face is seen.

One day a woman went into the bathroom and saw a reflection of an old woman in a black dress standing behind her with no feet coming out at the bottom. When the woman turned around to look behind her no one was there. She ran out terrified and was committed to the mental hospital. There are real police reports of this incident. Eventually the drive in closed down and the other half of the graveyard next to the drive-in along with the drive-in is now a neighborhood of luxury homes.
