I have heard of them, but don't know who or what they believe in. I am curious.

You mean Hare Krishna. These are Hinduists. Krishna is, according to Hinduism, a warrior or a merry youth. As a warrior and the hero of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna taught the warrior Arjuna that devotion is the highest form of religious life and should always be directed to Vishnu. As a youth, Krishna was attractive to young ladies and was at times impish. He portrayed the ideal of love. As the young ladies sought him and clung to him, so should all seek and cling to Vishnu in love
It is extremely difficult to form a comprehensive definition of Hinduism. Each person has his or her own individual way to follow, and one way may be very different than some other way. It is precisely this diversity that makes Hinduism so difficult to define. There is no one body of belief common to all practitioners of the faith, with the exception that most persons on the Indian subcontinent believe in the concepts of reincarnation, karma, and the possibility of ultimate release from the round of rebirths. As one observer has stated the situation, "Starting from the Veda, Hinduism has ended in embracing something from all religions, and in presenting phases suited to all minds. It is all-tolerant, all-compliant, all-comprehensive, all-absorbing." (Monier Monier-Williams, Hinduism, Non-Christian Religious Systems, vol. 1 (New York: Macmillan, 1919),12.

They are a Hindu sect. One of their songs goes "Hare Krishna Hare Rama". Hindus believe Krishna and Rama were human incarnations of the same god (Vishnu).
Like all religions there are good Hindus and bad Hindus. The Hare Krishnas aren't very well thought of, and many consider them to be a cult. I haven't researched them so I can't comment on that.
Hare Krishnas are often found wearing orange and dancing along city streets with percussive instruments. If you ever saw a bunch of people doing that, that was them.

The Trimurti of Hinduism consists of Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer. Krishna is the main incanation of Vishnu, and he is singled out by the Hare Krishna sect. I forget the name of the man who founded it, but it was Pradib, Pradubada or something similar. Hare just means Hail or Praise. Devotees chant "Hare Krishna, Hare Rama, Hare, Hare" in attempts to achieve higher levels of consciousness.

Their teachings are based on the Bhagavad Gita.
