#3 I remember the tale of a mining engineer who disregarded the warnings of his immigrant "Cousins" (Cornishmen miners), that a particular part of an old mineshaft being considered for reactivation was off-limits, because some variety of trolls had taken up residence there.

After he went inside and poked around for a while, they assured him that the little buggers would get their revenge on him in some unpleasant way.

Well, a few days later was Halloween, and he heard some kids making mischief in his front yard. He went out to investigate, slipped on his porch and broke his nose. "Just an accident".

The next Halloween, his wife opened a door unexpectedly and broke his nose again.

And for three more years, on Halloween, he managed to get his nose broken again.

That was enough. He bought a few bottles of whiskey which he deposited in the old mine shaft to make amends.

There was no mention as to whether it worked.
