First off, you should know that the term "white walkers" is a term used by the producers of the HBO series, Game Of Thrones. That term is used to describe a group of creatures found in the Game Of Thrones books written by George R. R. Martin. In the books they're referred to as "The Others."
So, what are they? They're a group of supernatural creatures that are extremely pale in color with very bright blue eyes. They carry swords that look like very thin, very sharp pieces of ice. They wear clothing that makes them almost invisible. They move almost silently through the ice and snow covered woods outside a great wall of ice. When white walkers are nearby, the weather will suddenly turn EXTREMELY cold. So cold that things in the area start freezing up.
After they kill their human prey they're able to reanimate the corpses. Therefore, people that were killed by white walkers frequently appear as if they were alive. However, as reanimated corpses they take on the skin and eye color of the white walkers.
It's believed that they're nearly impossible to kill since they're extremely strong and fast.
Check out the link below to read an article about them. The article contains 2 photos:

They are an ancient race thought to be extinct. They live beyond the wall in the far north and have been active recently when centuries had past since their last sighting. Most folks in the south don't believe the exist now (kind of like us and dinosaurs) and some even don't think they ever existed.
They are called White Walkers in the TV show and are mostly refered to as "The Others" in the books.
You'll see a little more of them in the last 3 episodes of the series.
