Those who have visited Hawaii have experienced its natural
beauty, soothing lifestyle, and the charm and friendliness of the
inhabitants. However, only a select few may have encountered what
the locals know and revere – the supernatural entities and
legends that are still active and enduring. Some, like seeing
"Madame Pele," can invigorate awe and wonder, while others can be
terrifying. One of the latter and seemingly more prevalent is
encountering the Night Marchers. They usually appear as a column
of warriors floating above the ground along a predetermined path,
weapons or torches in hand. Many report only hearing their
presence in the form of unexplainable beating drums or the
ghostly blowing of a conch shell. And just seeing them, it's
said, ensures a disappearance or violent death to the witness if
the proper respect isn't paid in their presence. But what is
their origin story, and what do they want? Are they soldiers
defeated by King Kamehameha I advancing towards a counterattack
or seeking revenge? Or are they keepers and enforcers of ancient
Hawaiian cultural laws and mores? To help us explore these
questions and relay some of his personal experiences, tonight's
guest is Kamuela "Kamu" Kaneshiro. As a native Hawaiian, content
creator, and podcaster for 20 years, Kamu has extensive knowledge
of the lore and heritage of his homeland. His royal lineage might
even protect him from these fearsome spectral guardians. Join us
for a fascinating discussion as we warily watch for the Night
Marchers of Hawaii.
