Über diesen Titel

 Distant drums and conch shells on the Hawaiian breeze... could it be the Huaka'i Pō, the Night Marchers? The chilling legend of spectral processions of ancient Hawaiian warriors said to march across the islands by moonlight is explored. These ghostly aliʻi (chiefs) and soldiers eternally guard sacred sites, enforce ancient kapu (laws), and tread paths once reserved for royalty. Specific locations known for Night Marcher activity, like Oahu's Pali Highway, hold tales, alongside traditional warnings: avoid eye contact, lie face down, and never interrupt their path. The cultural significance of the Huaka'i Pō legend, its roots in pre-contact Hawaiian society, and how belief in these spectral guardians persists today are considered. Are they protectors of sacred ground, echoes of historical battles, or something more? The eerie phenomenon of Hawaii's Eternal March awaits.
