This week, Ang is taking us deep into the legends of ancient Hawaii with a spine-chilling dive into the Night Marchers, the ghostly procession of warriors said to roam the islands after dark. Known in Hawaiian folklore as huakaʻi pō, these spirits of fallen chiefs and warriors march in formation, carrying torches and beating drums as they retrace sacred paths. Cross them… and you may not live to tell the tale. Unless, of course, you know the rules. Ang unpacks the origins of the legend, the cultural significance behind these terrifying apparitions, and the modern-day encounters that still leave locals and visitors shaken. From sacred kapu to the proper way to survive an encounter (hint: get low and don’t look), this one is equal parts haunting and fascinating. So, grab your leis, stay off the beaten path, and whatever you do… if you hear drums in the distance after sunset, don’t make eye contact.
