There's a story of the Dakuwaqa, a shark - like god in Fijian mythology. Legend has it that if fishermen were disrespectful to the ocean or over - fished, Dakuwaqa would appear. It was huge and could create massive waves. Once, a group of greedy fishermen didn't follow the old ways of fishing. Dakuwaqa showed up, capsized their boats and took them into the deep sea. It was a warning to all to respect the ocean and its power.
Another Fijian scary story involves a cursed lagoon. The story goes that long ago, a powerful witch put a curse on it. Anyone who swims in the lagoon at night may be dragged underwater by unseen hands. Locals avoid the lagoon after sunset out of fear.
Sure. There is a story about a Fijian fisherman who went out to sea. He was so clumsy that when he threw his net, it got caught on his own hat instead of in the water. Everyone on the shore had a great laugh when they saw him trying to untangle it.
One common element is the presence of spirits. In Fijian culture, there are many types of spirits, and they often play a role in scary stories. For example, ancestral spirits can be either benevolent or malevolent depending on how people behave.
The legend of the Vueti is also quite famous. Vueti was a spirit that was said to guard certain treasures or sacred areas. If someone tried to steal from these places or desecrate them, Vueti would come after them. It was often depicted as a menacing figure with a large club, ready to punish those who wronged the sacred spaces.

These stories are important as they teach values like bravery and community spirit to Fijian children.

His red - faced embarrassment was quite amusing.
A scary story goes like this. There was a hotel room that was said to be cursed. Every guest who stayed in that room reported seeing a shadowy figure by the window at midnight.
