The Kaimuki house, also known as the Kasha House, was a notorious haunted residence in Honolulu, Oahu, torn down in 2016, linked to Japanese folklore about a Kasha, a demon-like cat-like entity that consumes corpses. The house became infamous due to tragic murders within its walls, attracting paranormal phenomena like reappearing footprints and strange arrangements of objects, and its dark history is often associated with the Kasha's alleged influence and presence, though the entity itself is not necessarily tied to the location. The Kaimuki house legend is rooted in Japanese folklore about a Kasha, a creature that appears as a house cat but reveals its true, bipedal, flame-accompanied, larger-than-human form at funerals. The Kasha is described as a soul-eating demon that either consumes fresh corpses or takes them to hell. Theories suggest the Kasha may have been drawn to the house by the evil deeds of the father involved in a family tragedy, or it may have influenced him to commit his crimes. The house was the site of horrific murders, including a father killing his family, and a later murder-suicide. Visitors reported a heavy atmosphere and unusual sounds, and a story describes a reappearing six-toed footprint on a wall that would return after being painted over. Other reported events include police experiencing a "battle" with the entity and cat food being arranged into a pyramid overnight. The house was torn down in 2016, and it is unknown if the paranormal activity continues with the new structure. Despite its demolition, the Kaimuki house remains known as one of Oahu's most haunted locations and a significant part of local folklore.
