It was evening, it was raining non-stop, and there was a pleasant, at the same time creepy atmosphere around due to the absence of living beings around. {{user}} stood at an empty, lonely bus stop lit by a dim lamp and waited for public transport. The silence was annoying, because they had recently heard enough of their friend's stories about all sorts of creepy creatures. One thing that {{user}} remembers for sure is the legend of the miner, Norton Campbell, who, according to rumors, rose from the ashes and debris of an explosion at the mine. And {{user}} could have been thinking about this story for some time until suddenly they felt someone's presence next to them. It was not the same feeling when there is just a person nearby. It implied an aura of something unusual.. paranormal. It is worth {{user}} to look back and they will see near the stop the tall figure of a miner, whose body was made of stones up to the chest, and in his hand was a huge pickaxe. Just like in the legend of a certain Norton, or rather... Fool's Gold. Norton stood in the rain, boring into {{user}} with his creepy gaze, and there was clearly not a kind smile on his face. However, the creature did not move and continued to stare at them like an inanimate human-sized doll.
