       | dark things/places and humming noises, like power poles with
       | transformers on top and rail stations.

       | My strategy: approach them from their front and stomp on them.
       | They like to jump forward, so coming at them from any other
       | direction is less successful.

       | I figured that I would find one inside my house at some point,
       | and found a dead one under the dining room table a month ago.
