Morghur is another entity you can turn your back toward. Just make sure to offer snack to him here and there to keep him pacified. I've witnessed the monster impale someone with a wooden tendril.
Close your closet doors. Keep mirrors out of your room. Have the nightlight near. Lay the mattress on the floor. Ditch the bed frame. Cover all windows. Or just sleep in a room without them. Lock the doors. Keep a gun within arms reach.
