They are described as wearing traditional Hawaiian battle attire, carrying torches, and accompanied by the sounds of drums and chants.
Witnesses say that a faint echo of conch shells blowing in the night air is heard just before their arrival.
The Night Marchers are not evil by nature, but coming in contact with them is considered very dangerous.
