Hi guys, I'm not sure if this or a similar suggestion has been made before, but I got an idea for a new mob.
Just imagine; you are all alone in a poorly lit abandoned mineshaft minding your own business when your torch suddenly blows out. You don't hear anything and just put up a new torch and continue mining. The torch pops off again and when you turn around there is someone standing right behind you staring into your eyes.
The ghost miners are neutral mobs (like pigmen), reside in abandoned mineshafts and are invisible most of the time. You will know they are close by when your light turn dim and/or your torches start popping off the walls. They turn hostile and show themselves if you start mining ores close to them or empty their chests. They appear behind you and won't attack until you have looked them in their eyes. When you have already angered them by mining "their" ores they will follow you until you look them in their eyes, so that you can't escape them. They can only deal and take damage when they are visible.
Their appearance could be that of Steve, only more ghost-like and translucent. Maybe also without legs. They have white glowing eyes (like that of Herobrine). They are of course armed with a pick axe.
So what do you guys think? Does anyone else think such an entity would be creepy?
Ok, maybe they would be too difficult to deal with the way I described their behavior. But as LeSieg said; they could be simplified. They don't need to be very strong or anything, but what if they could just show up once in a while, but rarely, and just set a creepy mood? And they would only attack if you attack? And when you leave they just fade out while they follow you with their eyes?
Anyway, I would like to see more creepy mobs in the game. The type that would just freak you out. I would love to hear more of your opinions and inputs

That's basically what I had in mind
