The Myth of the Knockers

The knockers are supposed to be these weird little monsters who live in the mines. Some of the older generation used to believe in them like the gospel, but it can't be anything more than a myth. The legend says that the knockers were mostly just mischievous, stealing miners gear if they put stuff down and turn their back. But the legend also says that they would help lost or trap miners by guiding them to the surface. They do this by knocking on the walls of the mineshaft so all you'd hear in the dark was knock knock knock. If you had the balls to follow the sound, you'd be saved.
