Faga Ma'ama'a (Aunu'u Island)
Faga Ma'ama'a on Aunu'u Island, American Samoa, is known for its haunting legends, particularly linked to the story of Sina and Tigilau, lovers turned to stone in the cliffs, and tales of headless spirits (aitu) performing dances (siva) and terrifying people, often associated with mysterious movements and apparitions in the area, especially around the cove.
Key Haunted Descriptions:
Sina & Tigilau Legend: The cove is central to the legend of Sina and Tigilau, lovers whose canoe was crushed by cliffs, with the gods turning their faces and canoe into stone formations visible today.
Headless Figures (Aitu): A notable story describes a pharmacist's mate encountering a headless man, followed by his wife being terrorized by unseen forces moving furniture.
Spooky Siva: The same story recounts a terrifying vision of headless figures, including headless nurses, dancing on the beach at moonlit To'aga, near Ma'ama'a.
Haunted Hole & Cliffs: The area features volcanic cliffs, rough surf, and a "haunted hole," with descriptions of spectral figures and phenomena linked to the legendary tale.
