Scottish Mythology - Kelpies / Knockers
Kelpies
Much like Each Uisge, the Kelpie preferred running water while the Each Uisge preferred the ocean or a loch.
Knockers
Cornish mine spirits made a great deal of noise in their working but it was generally very unlucky to watch them and it was particularly unlucky to make a deal with them and then cheat on it.
