Today’s Ghostober word is tommyknocker. Looking them up, they were originally small, elf-like men who could cause problems for and protect miners. Later, they became a bit more ghostly, with the creaking sounds in mines thought to have been dead miners warning others of disasters. Since children historically worked in mines in the US, I made my tommyknocker the ghost of a boy trapped in a mine. I found many photos of miners wearing caps with little oil wick headlamps.⁣

Maybe fiendish, maybe friendly, knockers are mine-dwelling earth spirits of Cornish folklore. Belief in the fellows followed Cornish immigrants out of Cornwall, lasting up into the mid-20th century.

Knocturne 1: "Look at the size of this gold nugget! Imma smelt it."

Gholdengo: "No PLEASE! Don't melt me down!"

Knocturne 2: "It's awfully noisy for a gold nugget...they usually don't talk this much."

Knockturnes are commonly called "tommyknockers" in Splithia. They like to mine for riches in all the various realms of Splithia, but mainly hail from the Vaporrealm. The deepflake, vaporite, and nostalgems they dig up are used for important weapons and tools used by eletzytynns and palmkind.

Tommyknocker

Mining is an ancient profession and along with the back breaking work and dangers of working in the dark underground, comes century-old superstitions, the most notable being that of the Tommyknockers.

About two feet tall, and often described as greenish in color, they look like men and are most often spied wearing a traditional miner’s outfit. Living beneath the ground, they have been “known” to have committed both good and bad deeds through the centuries, often playing practical jokes and committing random acts of mischief, such as stealing unattended tools and food.

anyway, here’s the touhou oc i was talking about

Tamsin Knocker

"Rockhound of the Underground"

Ability: Capable of sensing vibration

A vengeful ghost who haunts abandoned mines, wreaking havoc on all who dare to enter. Or at least that's what she wants you to think. In actuality, she's a mischevious pixie geologist who delights in scaring humans away and making them think the mine is haunted. She lives in complete darkness and sees only through vibrations, and can even detect various metals/minerals within the rock by tapping on the walls with her hammer and seeing how the vibrations travel through. Because of this, she prefers to live in solitude. Too much activity would create too much vibration, and make it difficult for her to tell what's going on.

Hearing her knocking seems to precede certain incidents and accidents down in the mines, so some miners take it as a warning, and consider her benevolent. Of course, they don't realize who's causing the accidents in the first place.
