Distant drums and conch shells on the Hawaiian breeze... could it be the Huaka'i Pō, the Night Marchers? The chilling legend of spectral processions of ancient Hawaiian warriors said to march across the islands by moonlight is explored. These ghostly aliʻi (chiefs) and soldiers eternally guard sacred sites, enforce ancient kapu (laws), and tread paths once reserved for royalty.   Specific locations known for Night Marcher activity, like Oahu's Pali Highway, hold tales, alongside traditional warnings: avoid eye contact, lie face down, and never interrupt their path. The cultural significance of the Huaka'i Pō legend, its roots in pre-contact Hawaiian society, and how belief in these spectral guardians persists today are considered. Are they protectors of sacred ground, echoes of historical battles, or something more? The eerie phenomenon of Hawaii's Eternal March awaits.00:00 Introduction to the Night Marchers01:04 Historical Accounts and Cultural Significance03:24 Eyewitness Descriptions and Rituals05:16 The Battle of Nuʻuanu Pali07:38 Modern Encounters and Protective Measures09:50 Royal Processions and Spiritual Hierarchies14:07 Supernatural Pathways and Modern Impacts21:05 Cross-Cultural Encounters and Scientific Theories24:06 Cultural Preservation and Modern Adaptation26:06 Conclusion and Final Thoughts---Visit https://midnightsignals.net for more.Subscribe to the podcast on any of your favorite apps at https://midnightsignals.net/subscribe.

One of America's oldest and most haunting mysteries unfolds. The fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, the 117 English men, women, and children who settled on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, in 1587, only to vanish without a definitive trace, is investigated.   When Governor John White returned from England three years later, he found the settlement deserted, with only the cryptic word "CROATOAN" carved into a palisade and "CRO" on a tree. What are the leading theories: Did the colonists relocate to Croatoan Island (modern Hatteras) and assimilate with the friendly Croatan tribe? Did they attempt to move inland and meet a different fate? Were they victims of disease, conflict, or a supernatural curse? The archaeological clues, the controversial Dare Stones, the historical context, and the enduring enigma of America's Lost Colony are examined.

Can the past bleed into the present? In August 1901, two respected Oxford academics, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, experienced something extraordinary while visiting the Petit Trianon at the Palace of Versailles. This episode explores the famous Moberly-Jourdain incident, often cited as compelling evidence for a time slip.Their walk through the gardens allegedly grew heavy and melancholic, encountering figures in 18th-century dress, seeing long-vanished structures, and hearing archaic music. Their detailed account, published anonymously in their book "An Adventure," included the potential sighting of Marie Antoinette herself sketching near the Temple de l'Amour. Was it a shared hallucination (folie à deux ), a haunting, a misinterpretation of a themed event, or a genuine glimpse into Versailles as it was in 1789? Examine the evidence, the skepticism, and the enduring allure of the Echoes of Versailles.   00:00 Introduction to Midnight Signals00:07 The Gardens of Versailles: A Journey Begins01:46 A Shift in Reality02:36 Encounters with the Past06:33 The Return to Normalcy08:00 Unraveling the Mystery09:34 Historical Research and Revelations18:50 Theories and Speculations20:52 Conclusion: The Thin Places of the World---Visit https://midnightsignals.net for more.Subscribe to the podcast on any of your favorite apps at https://midnightsignals.net/subscribe.
