hmm, did the polynesians ever set foot in what is now california? could have been night marchers. basically, its tribal spirit soldiers that go marching in the dark, off to war. traditionally, before electric lights were a thing, when you heard the night marchers coming, you stopped and hid. you did NOT want them to find you.

The owners seemed to think my experience was possibly associated with the Tongva — Topanga was theirs first, and maybe theirs still. They were very unsurprised with my story — they’d had many things happen before, they told me.

So Night Marchers? Who knows. REGARDLESS I DID NOT WANT TO BE FOUND
