Ensure your fence has no iron (or even steel) in it; consider nails, screws, hinges. If you don't have a fence around your house, build one---but do it right. Use wood repurposed from some other structure(s) or even furniture and begin on a Thursday. If you don't finish before midnight, leave it for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; resume on Monday. To finish Monday is best. Take a splinter off each piece of wood in the fence, and set the splinters aside. Take four dolls. These dolls have to be plastic, porcelain, rubber, or wood; you can't use cloth. Make sure each doll is dressed---they can't even be barefoot. Tuck a shiny coin into the clothing of each, wherever it will fit, and cut off their hands. (Note: the coins have to be the same denomination; it doesn't do to show favouritism.) Set the hands aside. Place the dolls under the floorboards of the lowest level of your home, one at each corner of the building. If your home is strangely-shaped, you might need more dolls. Put the doll hands and the splinters into a container with some teeth. Keep this container in a windowless room in your home. So long as the container is where it should be, anyone who tries to force entry into your home---or successfully forces entry into your home---will get hurt somehow. Nobody's been hurt so badly they couldn't limp away, but sprains and scrapes and blood left behind is still something.

(Collect any devices you've got photos on, too, and clear the pictures of relatives off them. Pictures of yourself, co-workers, strangers, etc, are unimportant.) Dissolve the pictures in an organic acid and use the resulting solution to paint the front and back door of an unoccupied house, being sure to coat the door-frames. Return to the house at dusk, alone, and enter through the front door. Something should approach you from elsewhere in the house. It will approach slowly, and it can converse; if you ask it questions about scenes in which you were present, it can tell you the details you can't remember, didn't notice, or weren't in a position to observe. (The plate of the car which clipped you in that hit-and-run; what the cop actually wrote down in their little notebook; what's watched you sleep) As you talk with this thing, it'll gradually come closer; if it catches you, that's bad. When you decide you're done, you're going to have to book it out of the house as quickly as you can, and without using either of the marked doors---if there's no third door to get out of, you're going to go out a window (or, if the house you're using is old enough and in sorry shape, a hole in the wall). Don't look back until you're on the street. Note: A slurry of acid and paper fragments is ‘dissolved enough.’

OP: Axiomatic

Inspirobot results fit for Unknown Armies.

In the second edition of Unknown Armies, unnatural phenomenon would sometimes occur in the proximity of adepts using magic. In the recently-arrived third edition which is pretty plainly here to party unnatural phenomenon will sometimes occur in the proximity of adepts (provided they are carrying even a single minor charge) just because. @zeldabard
