The invaders section contains three different psychic monsters that will behave very similarly, but have different ways to prey on the host.
They will lay dormant until the host goes to bed and tries to sleep, then they will be making noises to make them scared.
If more than one invader type tries to prey on the host, they will start arguing in a loud, incomprehensible manner. After a while, they will stop and leave. If the host notices this, they can sleep without a care about them.
The Rogue
Presence: Psychic
Danger level: Manageable
The Rogue is the most common monster observed. It is one of the least dangerous and weakest psychic ones as it can't hurt its host physically and can only drain a minor life force out of them.
They lay dormant in the mind of the host until they go to bed. After that, the rogue will be making noises all around the house. It never appears as a vision, only as an auditory phenomenon around the host.
These can include the floor creaking, doors being opened and closed, quiet knocking on the walls and doors (but not the windows!), the pipes cracking and they can also hear someone walk around the house at a very slow pace like they are trying to sneak around.
The host will feel like they are stalked and watched, and they will want to run out of the house or hide away.
Sometimes victims think the noises come from the house or someone living with them and will try to sleep it through with more or less success.
Plan in case the monster is hunting the host:
The monster wants the host to fear them. The best way to deal with this one is to get out of bed and walk around the house slowly, looking into every room, then turn on the lights after looking into them. After it is finished, all the lights should be turned off and the host should go back to bed. If the rogue was satisfied by the amount of fear the host felt it left, otherwise the host will have to repeat the same process.
In case the host does not follow these steps and falls asleep, the monster will suck out their life force. As it is a low amount it won't hurt the host, however, they will feel very tired and can even see nightmares due to this. Also, the creature might not leave after the first night, in this case, making the host constantly tired and feel like they never slept enough.
There have been a lot of encounters noted down and the plan was built around tests and previous experiences by the Foundation.
This creature can be a nuisance, but not hard to handle. Even then caution is always advised, and remember, any contact with these creatures can lead to d or serious injuries.

Thank you for listening and stay safe out there! As you are not alone in your room!
Record of the monster, copied in from a personal diary by Dr. Heidel.
2nd of April 1805.
It is the 3rd night I have been hearing someone sneaking around in the hallway, opening and closing doors, also making some knocking and other annoying noises. For the last two days I have ignored them thinking it was my son going to the restroom, but when I asked them about it they said they slept deep the whole night.
Strangely nothing was stolen and everything is at their usual place, but I can't shake off the feeling something is awry and I'm more and more tired as I can barely sleep. When I hear the noise again I will see what is causing it.
3rd of April 1805
I... I can not even tell what just happened.
When I heard footsteps I lit my lantern and looked around the room. It was empty, except for my wife, who for my surprise wasn't bothered by the light.
After listening for a moment, I heard the restroom door slowly close, so I headed to the hallway.
Looking through the doorway I saw nothing out of the ordinary so I walked up to the restroom door.
When I reached for the handle to open it I felt a chill running down my spine. Turned around to see what was behind me, but it was nothing but my late grandfather's portrait looking down on me, like it was questioning what I was doing.
I turned back to the door and opened it slowly to reveal nothing. Nothing at all. Well, except for the usual.
As I was looking around confused, I heard the storage room's door at the end of the hallway close up. Then I thought to myself: "It must be my son playing a joke on me!". After all his room was right next to the storage room.
Then I closed the restroom door and walked down the hallway to his room. Opened up the door slowly and saw him in the bed. I was smiling thinking he was pretending to be asleep, when I heard knocking on the storage room next to me.
All the blood left my face and I froze in place immediately. I stood in shock for I have no idea how long, maybe a minute? Or even five?
When I gathered my strength I turned around towards the other door. I rushed over and flung open the door ready for anything. Except for what I saw. Which was nothing. It was empty as always. No one, in there!
I frantically looked around, then walked along the hallway, opened all the doors, and looked into each room to find nothing out of the ordinary, while I felt like someone, or something was looking at me. Looking at me, smiling to itself as I was going crazy.
Then I felt a soft touch on my shoulder. I almost shrieked from the surprise, but then I heard my wife's voice asking me what was I doing.
I have explained to her what happened, to which she said, she didn't hear anything, except me walking around the house.
She woke up when I lit the lantern but was too tired to ask what I was doing, so she tried to go back to sleep, only to hear me opening doors all around the house. Then she got up to ask what I was doing.
After talking for a little more I felt a lot better, so we went back to sleep. I fell asleep really fast and didn't wake up until morning.
I'm thinking about visiting Dr. Heidel about this...
