Good seeing you all back!  I am Jared, the host of Ghostlore of Hawaii:  Paranormal Paradise!  Thank you for joining me at our bonfire!  Creating tonight’s episode was a tough one.  The very real tragedy that this story is based on happened to an acquaintance of my fathers.  I cannot begin to imagine the grief parents go through when losing a child but the pain must be amplified when a child disappears.  The lack of closure and not wanting to believe the loss is permanent must be torture. For a couple of years, that is exactly what this family went through.  However, strange events began to occur in the family home that forced the tragedy back into the lives of the grieving parents.   So sit back, get comfortable, and let’s dive into the haunting story of ’The disappearance of Travis’. *Names were altered for privacy sake.
