The camera captured a creepy "night spirit" watching a runner in Hawaii (4 photos + 1 video)
Whether you're a die-hard skeptic or a believer in the paranormal, there's always something surprisingly intriguing and compelling about claims of otherworldly beings. Recently, a “live photo” of a woman taking part in a race in Hawaii went viral on the Internet. A certain sinister character appeared in the frame, which, in theory, could not be there... 
In 2019, runner Kay Borlace competed in the Hawaiian Ultra Running Team's Trail 100-Mile Endurance Run in the Oahu area, which consists of running a 20-mile loop of the Honolulu-Mauka trails five times.
She was accompanied by a friend who filmed the race. According to Kay, the course was difficult due to numerous obstacles such as tree roots and water crossings in the rainforest. She stumbled and injured her foot and was forced to leave the race and return home. She later asked her friend Cassie to send her the footage.

While viewing the footage, Kay was stunned when she noticed a strange cloaked figure appearing in the background of one of the photos. “To this day we don’t know what it was,” she says. The footage shows a figure emerging from behind a tree and walking past her, although the woman claims she doesn't remember anyone else being on that section of the trail.
“The reason there was no one on this part of the trail is because all the runners had to run clockwise,” she explains in her blog. — But the tourists didn’t leave so early. We didn't see anyone for several hours while we ran together. So we were—and still are—sure that there was no one there.”
After some digging, Kay discovered a legend about a group of ghosts living in Hawaii called the Night Marchers. These are the Night Warriors, sacred spirits who travel at night, protecting people, and the common man is not allowed to look at them. According to popular belief, breaking this rule means death. If a person encounters one of these mysterious creatures, he must strip naked and lie face down so as not to look at the spirit. Peeing on yourself can help preserve your life, as can being related by blood to one of the tropical ghosts participating in the night procession.
So Kay Borlace got off easy unknowingly.
Unfortunately, the people of Hawaii accused Borlace of telling tall tales.
After she posted the photos on social networks, a barrage of hatred fell on the athlete. She and her friend Cassie were called "haols" (a local derogatory term for white people) and wished that she would meet the Night Marchers for real and die a "violent death." Some accused Borlace of doctoring the photo, while others claimed it was just a "junkie" wandering down the path.
However, the running enthusiast continues to claim that she saw something unusual.
"We have photos and a 'live photo' as proof... of something," said Borlace, who plans to return and complete the 100-mile HURT and perhaps meet up with her "old friend."
