Issue Title: Sanity monsters can be heard/seen by other sane players

Issue Description: From time to time you could hear when a sanity monster spawns or despawns from an insane player's perspective even though you are sane.

Also, I'm not 100% sure on this one but I think I once saw the tall tentacle-headed figure appear during one night when a group of people were gathered. I was sane at that time.

Dxdiag included just in case.

Steps to Reproduce: -Get a group of people together.

-Make sure one of them is pretty insane, enough to make thingies appear.

-Wait...

-Try observing what happens in the same scenario at a campfire, at night.

I kinda wish this wasn't, apparently, a bug.

 

 You mean that 2 insane players can see the same monsters? I didn't have the chance to try it, but I'm  pretty sure it will happen, what I experienced was something else.

Thanks for the report :o)

 

......this likely needs a design change.

 

As it stands, in the base game, when your sanity drops even a little bit below 100 you can see the shadow creatures. They will only spawn when you are truly insane, but you can see them if you're just a tiny bit unsane(?). It was extended this way to MP but likely needs revisiting.

 

The current design is that every insane player can see other player's shadow monsters (and thus attack them/be attacked by them). The visibility when just a tiny bit unsane seems undesirable but is a knock-on effect of this.

 

Assuming that is what happened, but I`ll double check the code to see if there`s no other shadow monsters leaking into other players' realities.
