Nightmarchers

In Polynesian mythology, specifically Hawai'i, Nightmarchers are the ghosts of ancient Hawaiian warriors. On certain nights, they are said to march out to past battles from the he'iau where they were buried (Note: Hawaiians did not usually bury people at a he'iau). Anyone living near their path may hear chanting and marching, and must go inside to avoid notice. Anyone looking upon the marchers or being seen by them dies. Planting ti leaves surrounding one's house is said to keep away all evil spirits, and will cause Nightmarchers to avoid the area.
