Puná Island (Isla Puná)

Puná Island (Isla Puná) is an 855 km² island parish of Guayaquil Canton in Guayas Province, Ecuador, located at the head of the Gulf of Guayaquil south of the Guayas River mouth and the city of Guayaquil. It is bordered by the Jambelí Channel to the east and the Morro Channel to the west. The supplied sources provide geographic and administrative information about the island but do not include historical timelines, named local spirits, or any documented accounts of paranormal phenomena tied to the island. The research notes include archaeological materials concerning Puna Pau (Maunga Puna Pau) on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), which are unrelated geographically and culturally to Isla Puná; any similarity in names is homonymous and not evidence of shared folklore or supernatural connection. No witness testimonies, folkloric narratives, or investigative theories regarding hauntings on Isla Puná appear in the provided materials. As such, the entry documents the absence of verifiable paranormal claims in the supplied sources rather than asserting any haunted status.
