"No" might actually be a safe option. Hear me out. We played a game at summer camp, consisting of passing glasses around in a circle. When you handed it to someone, you'd ask "can you play the game with glasses?" And they'd have to respond. Yes or no. And then they'd have to hand the glasses to the next person accordingly. If you said you can play, you have to hand them "face up" of no, "face down". You don't lose if you say "no", you lose if you mess up.
So maybe, here you just have to follow up with your answer. Which, "no" would be safer, but also harder mentally, because it'd try to actively get you to hide. That would be why you keep hearing the creaking and seeing the face.
