In Hawaiian religion, Lua-o-Milu is the land of the dead, ruled by Milu. Entrance to Lua-o-Milu is from the top of a valley wall or sea cliff where the soul departs via a tree. It is reported that each Hawaiian island has at least one leaping place.[1] According to natives of the land, the entrance located in Waipio Valley has since been covered in sand and is now hidden from the sight of upper areas.[2] Another documented area where souls enter the next world is Leina Kauhane.[3] The spirits of the dead can watch what the living do and turn them to stone by staring at them.
