Death Watchers are a type of beetle that make a clicking sound. In the olden days when somebody had to watch the coffin all night long just to make sure that the dead person didn't wake-up or something, the faint tapping of the death watch beetle was often mistaken for the corpse trying to get out of the coffing. Reference to it was made to in 'The Tell-Tale Heart'.
