buglist: desacrated temples and blindness.

> When I enter a desacrated temple, sometimes an enormous ghost
> appears next to me:
> You have an eerie feeling... An enormous ghost appears next to
>     you!
> You are frightened to death, and unable to move.
> You regain your composure. When I don't have telepathy, and don a
>     blindfold first, I get the same messages:
> You are now wearing a blindfold. You can't see any more.
> You have an eerie feeling... An enormous ghost appears next to
>     you!
> You are frightened to death, and unable to move.
> You regain your composure. Why does the ghost scare me if I
>     cannot even see it? How do I notice it appear?
>  [<Someone>]
