HAWAII'S NIGHT MARCHERS: A History of the Huaka'i Pō

This is a very unusual book in the paranormal field. It is about people marching information after they are dead and the results of someone not getting out of their way. Most of the book is about Hawaii but part of the book deals with similar things going on in other countries which is important to note.

The night marchers include sounds of drums, a foul musky odor and a line of torch bearers. There's also the use of a conch shell, nose flutes and the stamping of feet.

They also can move through buildings.

The book goes in to specific marching groups. One of the rather upsetting things is that people who get in the way could be killed. The book goes into the importance of prayer in Hawaiian history and the main point of advice about observing one of the night marches.

Stay out of their way. Stay hidden.

One question is why does this happen, decades or longer after the marcher's deaths? Also, why have there been no photos or videos made of one of the marches? They can occur unexpectedly but there are also some that are fairly regular.

The book also discusses the Wagon Train marchers, the demon marchers in Japan, the Procession of the Dead in Switzerland and The Holy Company in southwest Europe.

The book includes a glossary of Hawaiian words (which I think should have been put at the start of the book) and references.

One thing that particularly interested me is that although I've read a lot of books about paranormal things this is the first time I've read anything about this topic. Fascinating book.
