The Haunting of King Intermediate School: Spirits on the Windward Side of O'ahu

Who is the one haunting the King Intermediate School on Oahu and wandering the halls of the school as a ghost?

On the windward side of Oʻahu, King Intermediate School is more than just a place of education—it’s a notorious hotspot for the supernatural. The S.W. King Intermediate School, named after Samuel Wilder King the 11th governor of the State of Hawaiʻi, is a public intermediate School in Kāneʻohe with around 530 students. From King, the students will continue to Castle High School to complete their education. But according to stories, some never left.

Since it opened its doors in 1964, this school has been whispered about in hushed tones among locals, who claim it is one of the most haunted places on the island. With eerie apparitions, invisible assailants, and stories of mysterious forces lurking in the shadows, King Intermediate School has earned its chilling reputation.

Ghostly Encounters and Unseen Forces

The Honolulu Police Department occasionally receives distress calls from the school, especially after hours, reporting the sounds of breaking glass or suspected vandals roaming the grounds. Officers responding to these calls often experience something far more unnerving. As they walk the empty halls and darkened corners, rocks are inexplicably thrown at them, rattling against walls and windows. Despite their thorough searches, they never find anyone responsible.

A former principal of King Intermediate School shares a particularly disturbing encounter that took place in one of the older classrooms. According to his account, teachers and students alike reported seeing a dark, shadowy figure standing at the back of the room. The figure would appear and disappear without warning, looming ominously in the corner. When it manifested, a low, menacing voice could be heard saying, “Get out” in Hawaiian. Those who have witnessed the figure say it feels like a command, not a suggestion, and leaves an icy chill in its wake.

The Dark Energy Lurking in the Shadows

One of the most chilling stories from King Intermediate involves a substitute teacher who was on duty for what seemed like an ordinary school day. As she was preparing a lesson, an unseen force violently shoved her from behind, pushing her into a storage closet. The door slammed shut behind her, locking her in the dark. The students, who witnessed the entire event, were paralyzed with fear, screaming and scrambling out of their seats.

Students and faculty at King Intermediate School have grown accustomed to the strange happenings on campus, but that doesn’t mean they’ve come to accept them. Many stories have been passed around the school as well, and one of them is about a student who supposedly attended the school. According to the story, he hanged himself from a Banyan tree in front of the school’s library. If you flashed light at the tree in the night it was said that you could see his ghost hanging from the tree.

A Place of Unrest at King Intermediate School

While many schools have their fair share of ghost stories and strange occurrences, the tales from King Intermediate School are too numerous and too eerie to ignore. The accounts of rocks being thrown, shadowy figures issuing chilling commands, and unseen forces attacking staff make it a place where the past and the present seem to collide in unsettling ways.

For now, the school continues to operate, with its students and staff going about their daily routines, all while knowing they may be sharing the space with entities from another realm and that the students running around the building might as well be ghosts of former students.
