NOTES FROM THE FIELD:
The Clatterwink is a recently rediscovered faerie of the Auditory Mischief variety, once believed extinct, banished, or politely ignored. It is a nocturnal, invisible nuisance that delights in making sounds just plausible enough to blame on plumbing.
Typical manifestations include:
- Random tapping in the walls (never rhythmic)
- Faint whisper-laughter behind curtain rods
- Creaks in the floorboards when absolutely no one is there
- The sound of keys being dropped in rooms with no keys
Though rarely seen, the Clatterwink is often heard and even more often blamed.
