It's dark, cold, and musty. There is old machinery lying around, rusting, and discarded tools lie on the ground. Cobwebs are everywhere. The rock walls are damp, and a trickle of water can be heard coming from somewhere off in the dark.

I do not exist physically. I float around after death. I go to heaven after 40 days.
How strange. The last I remember was coming to this mine to begin my day's labour. Now I find myself here alone, but for a mind I seem to be able to sense here somewhere... You are dead. Probably why you are able to speak to me..a spider. Dead! How can that be? Yet, I do not feel the damp and cold as I should...You say you are a spider?  I'm a blind spider. I usually live in the farmhouse near here, but they are fumigating and thought it would be safer for me to come here. Did you trip and fall and die?? I do not remember. The mine was a dangerous place to work..perhaps you witnessed an accident while seeking refuge here? But I can't see. Do you not posess Spidey-Sense? Obviously you are a creature of great perception, to notice me..a sad and confused spirit. I did think I sensed two live humans then one. Were you murdered? It could be...I did not completely trust the man I worked with, my wife's distant cousin. He had an unpleasant, leering attitude towards my Goodwife... Well, maybe you can haunt him and see if he killed you. Perhaps I can... I know little about being a spirit.  Say, you don't happen to be a poisonous spider, do you? Sorry, I'm not poisonous. I do have a black widow spider friend.
