Hawaii – Night Marchers, Oahu
The Night Marchers announce their presence with the beating of drums, sometimes torches appearing before they do. Coming out at night, the spirits of ancient Hawaiian warriors are bound to protect Hawaii in life and in death. In some Hawaiian families, even saying “Night Marchers” is taboo. There are several places on Oahu that they frequently are seen. Supposedly, you’re more likely to encounter them if the moon is full. If you see them, run. If you look them in the eye, you will be killed and forced to join their ranks.
You missed the boat on New Jersey! THE JERSEY DEVIL is most definitely the official haunting creature of the Garden State. Long before NJ was even a state, the legend of the Jersey Devil began. It was the 13th child of Mrs Leeds, who had no desire for another baby. According to legend, she cursed the baby even before it was born. At its birth, the creature assumed otherworldly dimension and flew up the chimney of the home. Since then, the Devil regularly haunts the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, frightening all it encounters. On the eve of a National tragedy, the Devil is said to appear at many varied places in the state to warn of evils to come (most notably in December 1941, just before Pearl Harbor.)
