I think it's a bit more than "a tradition." It's based pretty solidly on this
bit of Scripture (from 1 Peter 3; it bridges from vv18b through 20a):

     He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 
     through whom[d] also he went and preached to the spirits in 
     prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently 
     in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.
