01. There’s something hiding in the walls, and it's going to wait until you're almost asleep before it starts scratching to get out.

02. When you turn out the lights, they come out from under the bed and wait for you to put your feet on the floor, so they can take your soul away from you. So leave the lights on.

03. There’s something in the basement.

04. When the power goes out, it's probably not in the basement anymore. When the candles go out, it's probably behind you.

05. When you play with the ouija board, you're letting them in.

06. Sometimes they're in between the cushions of the couch. They reach into your pockets when you're distracted and pull things out of them, because they are trying to steal your life away, bit by bit.

07. They watch you sleep.

08. Cats, dogs, and babies can see them walking around the room with you. Especially cats.

09. They gather in the sky, in the clouds above you, and they wait. They congregate in the corners, where it's dark, where the night-light doesn't quite reach, in the shadows of the bedposts, and they wait.

10. The noises you hear aren't the house settling, or the pipes, or the temperature difference making the glass pop - they're coming through the walls, and sometimes they are leaving. To gather more of they’re kind for the return trip.

... Infensus Phasmatis.
