"On Oahu, along a hidden stretch of road in Nuuanu Valley, canopied by thick trees, there's a sharp U-shaped curve that locals know as Morgan's Corner. It's considered one of Hawaii 's most haunted spots, and the location carries a dark past. Over the past 100 years, it's been the scene of death, murder and misfortune, from deadly accidents to violent crime."
"By day, the road draws visitors to the popular Judd Trail, which leads hikers through bamboo forests to a pond and waterfall. By night, locals dare each other to go, retelling the urban legend of a teen couple parked there when their car wouldn't start. The boy went for help, and by morning, the girl awoke to police surrounding the car and her boyfriend hanging upside down from the tree above."
"The road was dark as we walked to where we thought the story might have occurred. The ghost hunters used devices to detect paranormal activity. It was eerie and quiet, and at one point, I experienced a feeling of breathlessness. Then members of our group noticed that a fully charged cellphone and some flashlights drained quickly of power. That phenomenon, one ghost hunter explained, could be an entity manifesting."
Morgan's Corner is a hidden U-shaped curve on Oahu's old Nuuanu Pali Road, shaded by thick trees. The location has a dark past with deaths, murders, accidents and violent crime. By day the area leads to the popular Judd Trail, a hike through bamboo to a pond and waterfall; by night the curve attracts dares and an urban legend about a teen couple and a hanging. Ghost hunters visiting at night reported eerie sensations, sudden device power drains and claims that such phenomena could indicate an entity. The bend was named after Dr. James Morgan, who built a home above it in 1926. The old Pali Road was once Oahu's most dangerous route, with brake failures, pileups and flipped vehicles.
