Hauntings of the Nightmarchers
(Inspired by true events)

In Hawaiian-mythology, Nightmarchersare the deadly ghosts of ancient Hawaiian warriors. The nightmarchers are the vanguard for a sacred King, Chief or Chiefess.

On the nights honoring the Hawaiian gods Kāne, Kū, Lono, or on the nights of Kanaloa they are said to come forth from their burial sites, or to rise up from the ocean, and to march in a large group to ancient Hawaiian battle sites or other sacred places. 

People of that place say that if you see the night marchers in the night at koa forest, then you can be in danger,
If you come across the Night Marchers in a procession, it's advised not to interrupt them. It is also believed that you should never look at them directly or you might meet your doom from a single deadly glance. If seen, remain quiet with your eyes averted.

The night marchers are known to be the spirits of the ancient Hawaiian warriors that moved with purpose to the sound of the drums, as they head out to battle. ... It has been said that if youwhistle at night, you are summoning the Hukai'po, aka the Night Marchers, and if you hear their drums—HIDE!

I was enjoying my vacation on Hawaii,
But Yesterday Hawaii May a strange event took place,two children of 9 year old age, named Ethan Aloha and Aaron Nikaku, who were residents of Hawaii, suddenly disappeared in a mysterious way,
There parents told the cop that they both went out of their homes to go for fishing in the koa's Forest.
But both of them didn't return from past yesterday.

Village people said that they both were picked up by nightmarchers, but the cops denied this,
The police felt that both were lost in the forest, as the police had not yet found their dead bodies,
But this riddle becomes solved when the bodies of Ethan & aaron are found on the banks of the river Koa,

Police becomes shocked after seeing their corpses....
An old fashioned dagger was found on ethan's chest.
Aaron's condition was much worse, an arrow was inserted in his back as if he was running and someone attacked him with an arrow,Aaron's left leg was cut off by someone.

Aaron died, but Ethan was still alive, he was in shock, he shouted out loud,
"They were night marchers who were dressed for battle carrying spears, clubs, and some are beating war drums and blowing tones from conch shells, to announce the advancing of their march,
They were Nightmarchers,
They were Nightmarchers!"
After saying this Ethan died,
After this incident, the government banned everyone to go on koa forest at night.

But even today some people go there at night only to see the Night Marchers, and then they never come back again....
