Aloha!  Welcome back to the Ghostlore of Hawaii Podcast!  I am your host as always, Jared!

Tonight's episode has been one of the most requested topics since I started the podcast; the Hauntings at the old Hilo Memorial Hospital.  For decades locals in the Hilo area have talked of one tragic event that ignited the stories that surround the abandoned building.  Sounds of crying babies, footsteps, disembodied laughter and more have all been witnessed onsite.  But did the tragedy really happen, or was it all just a rumor?  Along with discussing the history of the hospital, I'll cover the strange encounters that happened during a paranormal investigation conducted by the Kahuna Research Group back in 2013.  Lastly, you'll hear several firsthand stories from locals as well as from staff who still worked in the building long after the hospital closed.  Stay tuned...

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
