Ghost of Murderer Haunts Tennis Courts

1911 Ghost of murderer haunted grounds that he left to commit fiendish crime

According to the newspaper article in the Hawaiian Gazette on February 7, 1911, an employee of the Tennis Association had to climb through the window into the bungalow to perform his morning duties. When he opened the curtains, light filtered into the room and, on the wall, he found a horrible sight: a handwritten suicide note in Japanese.

The author of the note said he would kill himself at the Baldwin house and, if he was not successful in haunting that place, he would return to the same bungalow and haunt that place.

The author of the suicide note was a man named Fukumoto. It turns out that, in a fit of infatuated rage, he killed the Baldwin’s laundry girl Masa Yoshida. If the accounts are true, the ghost of Fukumoto still haunts the Manoa Tennis Courts today. Many people have claimed to have seen him. Lawyers, doctors, city & county workers, state park employees. They say Fukumoto still filters around the clay courts.
