Boyd ruined their fun

Fr Khatri said that before Boyd came, they were "surviving" by "hiding" in holes every night. This implies that they survived every night because the monsters didn't know where they hid and couldn't find them. But is that true?

We've been shown that everything going on in Fromville is being observed. Khatri buried something alone, but THEY saw and told Sara who came years later.

Tabitha was digging under the house and no one in the town knew, but THEY told Jim she shouldn't be doing that. Meaning they see everything.

This leads me to believe that THEY were also very aware of where the hiding spots are and were just playing a fun game of hide and seek on easy mode for them. That is until Boyd came and found the talismans, ruining the fun.

Now they still know where the people are hiding, but unlike before they can't get in unless one of them is a total buffoon (like glasses guy).

So Boyd basically ruined their fun game, as if that wasn't enough he killed one of them. I can imagine they're pretty pissed at him lol
