We went to this site after a Vikings game. I wanted to see this place before we flew back home. As we walked around this mine, we heard the sound of rushing water and faint screams. I sat down on a nearby rock to relax and observe the scenery. I then lit up a Cuban cigar and began to smoke it when I heard a voice say,” I give you tree fiddy for a puff of dat cigar.” I said,”Hell no!” The voice then said,” I give you fo fiddy and tickle yo’ ass wif a feather for a puff of dat cigar.” I then agreed. I put the cigar right next to me, and I saw the cherry glow by itself several times. I then took my cigar and began to walk away when I suddenly felt my ass being tickled by a feather. It was the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. I laughed out loud and walked away. It is believed to be the spirit of a black miner who was known for playing pranks on his fellow miners. He drowned with his buddies.
