In Hawaiian legend, Nightmarchers ("huaka'i pō" or "Spirit Ranks," " 'oi'o") are the ghosts of ancient Hawaiian warriors.  On the nights of Kane, Ku, Lono, or on the nights of Kanaloa they are said to come forth from their burial sites to march out to past battles or to other sacred places.  They march at sunset and just before the sun rises.  Anyone living near their path may hear chanting and marching, and must go inside to avoid notice.  They might appear during the day if coming to escort a dying relative to the spirit world.  Anyone looking upon or seen by the marchers will die unless a relative is within the marchers' ranks- some people maintain that if you lie face down on the ground they will not see you.  This is to show respect.  However, if exiting the area is the fastest option, it is recommended.  Placing leaves of the ti ("Cordyline" sp.)  around one's home is said to keep away all evil spirits, and will cause the huaka'i pō to avoid the area.  Another thing is to always highly respect the night marchers which can result in great things. Shisa (シーサー , Shīsā , Okinawan: "shiisaa") is a traditional Ryukyuan cultural artifact and decoration, often seen in similar pairs, resembling a cross between a lion and a dog, from Okinawan mythology.  In magic typology, they are sometimes also be classified as gargoyle beasts.  Shisa are wards, believed to protect from some evils.  People place pairs of shisa on their rooftops or flanking the gates to their houses, with the left shisa traditionally has a closed mouth, the right one an open mouth.  The open mouth traditionally wards off evil spirits, and the closed mouth keeps good spirits in. Ba Jia Jiang (八家將) originated from the Chinese folk beliefs and myths, and usually generally refers to eight members of the godly realm.  The general understanding of the origin of Ba Jia Jiang is that it is derived from the existence of eight generals who performed exorcism of evil spirits for the Wufu Emperor (五福大帝).  These eight generals became revered as the gods of the underworld, and are represented as the bodyguards or attendants for the temples of the nether Gods such as the Dongyue Emperor (東獄大帝), Yama (King of Hell, 閻羅王) and Cheng Huang (the City Gods, 城隍).  Gradually Ba Jia Jiang evolved to appear also as bodyguards to Wang Ye (Royal Lord, 王爺) and Matsu (媽祖), and at many other temples.  Later on, believers at those temples dressed up as Ba Jia Jiang in order to defend the Gods.  These actions evolved into Taiwanese folk activities, which are part of the Wu Array (Military Array, 武陣) in Din Tao (Taiwanese troupes, 陣頭).  Ba Jia Jiang is responsible for the capture of ghosts and evil spirits, bringing safety and good luck, and providing protection.  They contain a strong religious nature, and Din Tao (Taiwanese troupes, 陣頭) often seem as mysterious, threatening and serious.  Some Ba Jia Jiang members have relations with Taiwanese gangsters. Kukeri (Bulgarian: кукери ; singular: kuker, кукер) are elaborately costumed Bulgarian men who perform traditional rituals intended to scare away evil spirits.  Closely related traditions are found throughout the Balkans and Greece (including Romania and the Pontus).  The costumes cover most of the body and include decorated wooden masks of animals (sometimes double-faced) and large bells attached to the belt.  Around New Year and before Lent, the kukeri walk and dance through villages to scare away evil spirits with their costumes and the sound of their bells.  They are also believed to provide a good harvest, health, and happiness to the village during the year. The Sapsali (삽살이) is a shaggy Korean breed of dog.  The word is followed in Korean by either "gae" (meaning "dog") or the suffix "ee"/"i", but is most commonly romanized as "Sapsaree".  Traditionally, these dogs were believed to dispel ghosts and evil spirits. The Segugio Italiano ] is an Italian breed of dog of the scenthound family.  It comes in both short-haired and wire-haired varieties.  It is thought to be an ancient breed, descended in pre-Roman eras from progenitor scenthounds in ancient Egypt.  In 2009 ENCI (the Italian Kennel Club) registered 4,500 specimens of the short-haired variety and 1,740 wire-haired specimens, making this one of the top ten breeds in Italy. Ugly Way (also known as Ghost Way) is a healing rite used by Native Americans to cure sickness caused by ghosts, demons, and other evil spirits.  It is part of the way between Hózhó and Hocho, Order and Chaos.  Early Christian missionaries linked it to the War in Heaven or the forces of good and evil, but it has more similarities to eastern concepts, for example yin and yang. Ghosts are an important part of the folklore, and form an integral part of the socio-cultural beliefs of the people living in the geographical and ethno-linguistic region of Bengal, which today consists of the independent nation of Bangladesh, and the Indian states of West Bengal.  Fairy tales, both old and new, often use the concept of ghosts.  In modern-day Bengali literature, cinema and also in radio & television media, the references to ghosts are often found.  There are also many alleged haunted sites in this region.  It is believed that the spirits of those who cannot find peace in the afterlife or die unnatural deaths remain on Earth.  The common word for ghosts in Bengali is "bhoot" or "bhut" (Bengali: ভূত ).  This word has an alternative meaning: 'past' in Bengali.  Also, the word "Pret" (derived from Sanskrit 'Preta') is used in Bengali to mean ghost.  In Bengal, ghosts are believed to be the spirit after death of an unsatisfied human being or a soul of a person who dies in unnatural or abnormal circumstances (like murder, suicide or accident).  Even it is believed that other animals and creatures can also be turned into ghost after their death. A witch ball is a hollow sphere of colored glass traditionally used as a fishing float.  Modern witches balls are decorative replicas.  Some are made to look like Christmas tree baubles that contain a few thin fibers strung inside.  Floating glass buoys became connected with witches during the witch hunts in England.  In the late 17th century, suspected witches were tried by being tied up and thrown into water.  If the water rejected them from a second baptism and they floated, then the suspects were confirmed as witches, under the rule of trial by water, and they were then hung by the neck until dead.  In a like manner these heavy glass fishing floats, all tied up in a net, could not be made to sink.  The water rejected them and they bobbed merrily upon its surface.  Historically, witch's balls were hung in cottage windows in 17th and 18th century England to ward off evil spirits, witches, evil spells, ill fortune and bad spirits.  Just as hanging a witch was believed to remove evil influences from a village, hanging a tried and tested witch's ball that had been floating in water, around a home, was believed to protect the home from similar ills.  Usage has continued to a smaller extent in America up to the present day. An Ọgbanje (strictly "Ọgbanje" and cannot be substituted with "Ọbanje", the "gb" forms a single consonant in Igbo language) is a term in Ọdịnanị for what was believed to be an evil spirit that would deliberately plague a family with misfortune.  Its literal translation in the Igbo language is "children who come and go".  It was believed that within a certain amount of time from birth (usually not past puberty), the Ọgbanje would deliberately die and then come back and repeat the cycle causing the family grief.  Female circumcision was sometimes thought to get rid of the evil spirit, whereas finding the evil spirits "Iyi-ụwa", which they had dug somewhere secret, would ensure the Ọgbanje would never plague the family with misfortune again.  The "Iyi-ụwa" was the Ọgbanje's way of coming back to the world and also a way of finding its targeted family.
