	Phantoms are "slightly-confused"; they do not necessarily move in
the direction most conducive to following you around and bashing you.  The
best way to explain this is to note that Bats are somehwat-more-confused,
and really have a hard time following you around.

	A number of monsters will move around you if you are standing on
"Scare Monster"; they'll try to get you to step off of it by feinting around
it...Trolls seem to be especially nasty at this.

	What seems to have happened to you is due to one of the two of these
phenomena...either the Phantom moved 'cause it was reeling around at random,
or it tried to draw you off the scroll...
