In 1904, Peleliilii said he went up Mokuaweoweo (summit crater of Mauna Loa) and saw over 1,000 ghosts of “all nationalities” and all ages:
“The babies came and sat in my lap, the old ones walked around me and some were lying down. They were playing all kinds of instruments except a drum. … there were many animals.”
