Knockers

The Knocker, Knacker, or Tommyknocker is a mythical, subterranean, gnome-like creature in Cornish and Devon folklore. Its Welsh counterpart is the coblynau. The name “knockers,” pronounced “knackers,” comes from the knocking on the mine walls that often happens just before cave-ins. Known for stealing miner's tools they can also be benevolent helping to warn miners of impending collapse.

The miners wouldn't go into the mine until the mining company assured them the Tommy Knockers were on duty.
