The Ghosts of Dead Miners Working in the Tunnels

There were also superstitions about the bata bad luck concerning, well, first of all, bringing women anywhere near the cave. There was a widespread superstition against anyone whistling down there. The idea that if you're whistling, you could draw in spirits and hand shares. By night, you bring the sprite. Whistle by day, you'll drive them away. And this is not a sprite you want to bring bright, right? Certainly, you don't want anything going on down there in the mine. You don't want any spirits balking about. You don’t want any vibrations going wild. You want everything to just be a safe and peaceful place.
