Hawaiian Tales: Part One
Manage episode 502486576 series 3646444
The boundary between our world and the supernatural realm has always been thinner in Hawaii. The islands pulse with ancient energy, spiritual power, and stories that send shivers down your spine—even on warm tropical nights.
Kevin Chang joins us from Oahu to explore one of Hawaii's most enduring supernatural phenomena: the Night Marchers (Huaka'i Po). These ghostly apparitions of ancient Hawaiian warriors announce their presence with pounding war drums and conch shells as they march between sacred sites. The protocol for encountering them is clear: lie face down, avoid eye contact, and show absolute respect—your life may depend on it.
As a musician, attorney, and community builder, Kevin brings multiple perspectives to this conversation. His work with Kua'a'i Na'ulu A'uamo helps Native Hawaiian communities connect and strengthen their stewardship of natural resources, preserving cultural knowledge that spans generations. Through his band Hoopa Aina, Kevin has captured the mystique of Night Marchers in haunting melodies that both entertain and educate.
The episode takes an especially chilling turn when we share a firsthand account from a visitor who claims to have encountered Night Marchers at Kapina Falls. Their detailed description—the rhythmic drumming, ethereal torches, and the metallic tang in the air—mirrors centuries of similar reports across the islands.
Whether skeptic or believer, this exploration of Hawaiian spiritual traditions reminds us that some knowledge exists beyond scientific explanation. The stories we share connect us to our ancestors and teach respect for forces we may never fully understand.
