Ask several people who work in Downtown Honolulu and a number of them will tell you that their buildings are haunted. From moving shadows, to objects being shifted around an office, to that familiar chicken skin feeling, to the legendary Night Marchers, the spooky tales abound.
Hawaii’s Night Marchers, also known as the Huaka‘i Pō are the ghosts of warriors past who are carrying out in death their duties once performed in life. They are the priests, warriors, and entourage of high-ranking ali‘i, and as it was in those ancient days, to look upon them, even in passing, meant death. Today, the buildings and landscape of Downtown Honolulu hide numerous Night Marcher paths, most of them ending where Pakaka once stood, the ancient sacrificial temple.
