A bluecap is a mythical fairy or ghost in English folklore that inhabits mines and appears as a small blue flame. If miners treat them with respect, the bluecaps lead them to rich deposits of minerals. Like knockers or kobolds, bluecaps can also forewarn miners of cave-ins. They are mostly associated with the Anglo-Scottish borders. They were hard workers and expected to be paid a working man's wages, equal to those of an average putter (a mine worker who pushes the wagons). Their payment was left in a solitary corner of the mine, and they would not accept any more or less than they were owed. The miners would sometimes see the flickering bluecap settle on a full tub of coal, transporting it as though "impelled by the sturdiest sinews".

  • 藍帽子（英語：Bluecap）是一種中虛構的小仙子或幽靈。他們居住在礦山內，並以微小的藍色火焰形象出現。如果礦工尊重地對待他們，藍帽子會引導礦工到沈積著豐富礦物的地方。就像或，藍帽子也能在礦山坍塌前，事先警告礦工。他們大部分與邊界有關連。他們是努力工作的工人，並期望能獲得勞工的報酬。能勝任一般的推動者（一種負責推動四輪運貨馬車的勞工）。藍帽子的酬勞被人放在礦山中的偏僻角落，他們不能接受任何超過或不及自己應得的報酬。礦工有時會看見閃爍的藍帽子選擇一個奘滿煤炭的礦車，以最健壯的精力去推動礦車。另一個相同種類的生物（雖然本質上較少幫助）被稱為Cutty Soames 或Old Cutty Soames，因為會切斷用來連接礦車的長繩或鏈條而聞名。 (zh)

Another being of the same type (though less helpful in nature) was called Cutty Soames or Old Cutty Soames who was known to cut the rope-traces or soams by which the assistant putter was yoked to the tub.
