It was just Caleb's luck that ghouls tended to have a pretty short attention span. Even when one caught a noise, it quickly lost interest when nothing else happened. With each noise, they would pause and look around, eyes glowing dimly. One even looked right at Caleb, but he had stopped moving and crouched, so he didn't look like a person. Ghouls preferred moving targets anyway, meaning if one hid and stayed still long enough, they would wander off again.
When Caleb opened the old doors, a few ghouls stood and looked around. One even wandered past the door after it had been closed, running his mangled fingers over it in confusion. The concept of door handles had escaped him. But in hearing noises on the other side, he growled and pushed at the door (clearly labeled 'pull'), only to get knocked over when Caleb came rushing out.
Ghouls were also slow to react, so the quick movement of the man darting past them took a moment to process before they were growling and stumbling after him. Their vision in the dark wasn't much better than the man's, so they stumbled and tripped over things. One nearly caught him, but ended up being vaulted over and smashing his face into the floor instead.
While Caleb escaped through the hole, the ghouls squabbled over who was going first...then lost interest again. But now that they knew about the hole, they would likely wander outside and become a nuisance very quickly.
