The Haunting
The best-known version of the legend says a young girl was killed by a hit-and-run driver near the 16th Avenue bridge in Kaimuki. Later witnesses are said to see her on or near the bridge, sometimes asking for help finding her way home. In retellings, she cannot pass beyond the bridge and vanishes when someone tries to help.
The haunting sits inside a wider Oahu ghost-story tradition, where everyday roads, bridges, theaters, and houses become markers for local memory. HONOLULU Magazine lists the 16th Avenue bridge among Oahu haunt spots, but frames the island list as a mixture of urban legends, personal experiences, and stories rooted in history. That matters here: no primary accident record surfaced in this pass, so the entry should preserve the folklore while avoiding claims that the fatal hit-and-run is verified.

Summary of visitor and community commentary
Most online discussion repeats the same central image: a child apparition on or near the bridge who seems lost and asks for help. HauntedPlaces includes a 2022 comment from a reader claiming a similar encounter nearby, at Kealaolu Avenue and Kahala Avenue, where a child allegedly disappeared before police arrived. Other paranormal databases summarize the story as an "urban legend" connected to a hit-and-run said to have happened roughly years earlier. The common thread is not a verified case file, but a persistent neighborhood story about a child who cannot get home.
