(It was never possible to find a person making the sounds, so I guess a Menehune was as good a culprit as any?) Family members who had experienced these sounds had been creeped out by them, and supposedly the sounds were unmistakable and strange. It's a weird feeling discussing these things, a chicken skin kind feeling. If I recall correctly, Menehune are very shy. You were probably experiencing the Night Walkers.
