In this episode of Haunted Real Estate, Ashley and Lanie takes you to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, into the fiery domain of Pele — goddess of volcanoes, creator and destroyer of the Big Island. We trace the land’s deep Indigenous history, from ahupuaʻa stewardship and sacred offerings at Halemaʻumaʻu to the Great Māhele and the arrival of western concepts of “ownership.” Along the way, you’ll hear the legend of Pele, the lovers ʻŌhiʻa and Lehua, battlefield footprints frozen in ash, and modern stories of hitchhiking goddesses, a mysterious white dog, and tourists desperate to mail lava rocks back to the island. We’ll walk through what happens when homes are built in lava zones like Royal Gardens, Kalapana, and Leilani Estates — and what it really means to claim a deed on land that many believe still belongs to Pele.

In Part Two of our Bridgewater Triangle series, we leave the history books behind and step into the dark. From cult rumors and true crime in the Freetown–Fall River State Forest, to the watching figure on Profile Rock, phantom lights over Hockomock Swamp, Pukwudgies, cryptids, and UFOs, we tour some of the strangest stories tied to this 200‑square‑mile patch of Massachusetts. Is it cursed land, a paranormal “window,” or just a place with way too many legends for one map to hold?
