There is supposed be another kind of beings, called Na ne hi, living, some under the water, some under the ground, and others in rocks on the mountains. They cannot be seen in the day time, yet in the night they can be just perceived. They are in the shape of people, but they have eyes projected, as if on the the ends of horns. Another class of beings resembling the Nanehi, except they are larger, and their eyes are long, extending up & down. These live in the inside of mountains. + There is yet another kind of resembling the Nanehi, only they are more mischievous. These are called U Ko se. They try to frighten people, especially in the night, by throwing rocks, clubs &c. at them, though they never hit them. Another class of spiritual beings about in the world, they call Utse lo nu hi (or Pl. Unu tse lo ne hi) These I believe are most generally supposed to be the spirits of dead persons, hovering round the places where their bodies had lived, before they take their final departure. + Br. Bennes tells the following anecdote. He & another Indian were on a high mountain hunting. Night came on, & they lay down to sleep by a high rock. Just as the day broke they heard chickens crow in the rock? & various other noises. At length they heard a door turning on its hinges in the rock?, and being now too much frightened to remain any longer they fled.
