Aloha!  Thank you for joining me in the last episode of Season 2 of the Ghostlore of Hawaii:  Paranormal Paradise podcast!  I cannot believe we're already wrapping up Season 2!  I appreciate your patience over these last couple of weeks.  My computer decided to "kick-the-bucket" (RIP old friend) before I could complete the intended episode finale.  After much debate (and understanding by the awesome Patreon Members), I decided to release this story, which was an exclusive episode for Patrons (www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii), to wrap up the season so you listeners wouldn't be left hanging.  The podcast will now go on a short break until Season 3, but don't worry, it won't be long before we're all huddled around the bonfire once again!

If you fear the thought of Ghostlore of Hawaii withdrawals (lol) you want more content, I will continue to release bonus and mini-episodes all throughout the break.  To find out more or to become a member, head over to:  www.patreon.com/ghostloreofhawaii
