How it's used

It is frequently used in warning signs or news reports to indicate the presence of animals or suspicious individuals, but it can also be used playfully to describe where a person likes to spend their time.
Examples
Rats often appear here at night, it is terrifying.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a person simply arriving at a place for a meeting or appointment. It implies a recurring, habitual, or stealthy presence rather than a single, planned visit.
