Pilots in China during WWII had to deal with this behaviour all the time. The
lower class Chinese believed that if they ran close enough ahead of the props of
a rapidly moving aircraft, the props would chop up their personal demons, who

It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
