Marchers of the Night, also known as Huaka'i Po and the Night Marchers, are ghost warriors of high rank. They march on certain nights to welcome new warriors or to march to old battle grounds. They permit no disturbances from mortals and if you look into their eyes or stand in their way they take your soul from you and you are dead. It is easy to recognize them for they pound drums, carry torches, chant and their feet don't touch the ground.

Many people say they either saw the Night Marchers' torches or heard their drums. A famous place where the Night Marchers march is along the Pali Highway, a steep highway which runs along the Koolau Mountain range where the famous Kamehameha battle was fought. The old saying is to never go across the Pali Highway at night or else you will experience some weird things such as hearing drums or Hawaiian chanting in your car.

I also have heard of Night Marchers near Black Rock in Ka'anapali, Maui (Sheraton adjacent).

I was actually planning on hanging out along the shore to find out. I understand if they are near, the proper (and life saving?) etiquette is to strip naked and lie face down.

Can this be true?
