The Brothers Grimm described a familiar spirit as looking "not quite like a spider, not quite like a scorpion, but it moves incessantly" - a great line that would not look out of place in a H.P. Lovecraft story.

Considering two additions to the safe house:
1. The sticky-feather-fan thingy from Home Alone, for spotting invisible horrors.
2. Have the mysterious symbols drawn on the inside of the house, then cover them up with kraft paper, attaching strings to the paper. Once we have whatever hostile creature(s) encroaching on the premises, we'll pull the kraft paper aside to reveal the symbols.
Will our contrivance trap our foes? Idk.
Will this anger them? Probably. Yes.
