A particular hum precedes hallucination in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names hallucination in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
