Little Mad Jack

The harrowing ghost of a child who was mown down by a mining cart in The Brass Bowl of Tentotta.

Jack Peltsy (a.k.a. Little Mad Jack)

Little Mad Jack is a ghost child that haunts the mohrrim mines in The Brass Bowl of Tentotta. The section of the mine that he resides in is now called Mad Jack's Mine and is closed off to the public due to many fatal accidents that deemed this area unsafe.   It is closed off with sturdy wooden barricades and a sign warning people not to proceed. Some trinkets and notes lay at the foot of the sign. Most were left by families who lost their sons in the mine, but others have left children's toys as a peace offering in the hopes that Little Mad Jack will be at peace. Some say he never will be.  

The Disappearance of Little Mad Jack

Little Mad Jack goes down the mines,
He bumbles along and nobody minds
The songs that he sings are all in a rhyme
And Little Mad Jack gets covered in grime.
  Little Mad Jack only has half a mind,
And got in the way of a cart down the mine,
It dragged him right down and buggered his spine
And Little Mad Jack was late for tea time.
  Now Little Jack's mum, just can't stop cryin',
She's completely convinced that the Miners are lyin'.
"That Sapper named Jasper, he drinks loads of wine,
He's had it in for my Jack since the day he turned nine!"

  Well witnesses heard but a thump and a whine
On the day of the tragic events in the mine,
So Jasper walked free of this terrible crime
(But not without paying a big drinking fine).
  Little Mad Jack, now a ghost in the mines,
Has worked this descent to his deadly design,
He rigged up a tripwire made out of old twine
And has killed enough folk to last a lifetime.
 

Personality & Characteristics

Jack seeks revenge on those who caused his death. Anyone who enters the mine is a target and must be removed from the mines. He appears as a ghostly figure - a smoky floating apparition that passes eerily through the mines. He has no voice and is as silent as the grave he should have been buried in. He enjoys frightening people and sometimes communicates crudely with the placement of objects or signs.   Jack greatly appreciates toys left for him, as it reminds him of his mother's love, but he dislikes anyone trespassing in the mines (which he believes belong to him, now - after all, his name is on it).
