Some Hawaiian's believe that when you die, your spirit remains and watches from another realm and according to Hawaiian legend, the Night Marchers, Huakai Po in native tongue, are said to be the ghosts of long dead warriors who were tasked with protecting a sacred King, Chief or Chiefest.  In life, they would proceed the Chief in the procession, and those lower in status, would have to remove their clothes, lie face down on the earth and place their hands behind their heads as they were deemed unworthy to look upon the sacred cavalcade as it passed. Ancient Hawaiian law, also forbade any commoner to look upon the body parts of certain Kings or Chiefs, if caught doing so, they would ultimately lose their life, being destroyed instantly by one of the deadly warriors.
