Mac/PC external drives problem - Ghost Underscore

I have two external firewire drives and both have similar problems, which leads me to believe this is more of a OS X problem.

When I put files from my Mac laptop onto my external hard drives, they appear in the folder listed as they would normally. However when I take my external drive and plug it into a PC, the PC reads the folder with extra information. The files listed are the same files that I just added, but now there are additional files that are a replica of the listed files but now have an underscore (_) listed in front. the files are all well under a meg in size and always show up on a PC but never on a Mac.

What are these mysterious ghost underscore files?
