==========The Boogyman=====
The Bogeyman (also spelled boogyman, bogyman, boogieman, boogey monster, or boogeyman) is a creature that appears in folklore in almost every corner of the world different names but pretty much the same cryptid ... (See previous post)
The bogeyman has no specific appearance, and the conceptions of this cryptid can vary drastically from one country to the other, even from household to household within the same community; in many cases he simply has no set appearance in the mind of a child, but is just an amorphous embodiment of terror.
Bogeyman can be used as a derogatory term to denote a person or thing of which someone has an irrational fear of.
Parents often say that if their child is naughty or misbehaved , the bogeyman will get them, in an effort to make them behave.
The modern bogeyman legend may have originated in Scotland, where they are sometimes called bogles, boggarts, or bogies.
Bogeyman stories vary by region.
In some places the bogeyman is male; in others, female.
In the Midwestern states of the United States, the bogeyman scratches at the window.
In the Pacific Northwest he may manifest in "green fog." or hide under the bed or in the closet and tickles children when they go to sleep at night. It is said that a wart can be transmitted to someone by the bogeyman.
Bogeymen may target a specific kinds mischief – for instance, a bogeyman that punishes children who suck their thumbs – others may target children that play prank's or just general misbehavior.
The word bogey is most likely derived from the Middle English bogge/bugge (also the origin of the word bug), and is generally thought to be a cognate of the German bögge, böggel-mann (English "Bogeyman").
The word could also be linked to many similar words in other European languages; Buse (Nynorsk), bòcan, púca, pooka or pookha (Irish Gaelic), pwca, bwga or bwgan (Welsh), puki (Old Norse), pixie or piskie (Cornish), puck (English), bogu (Slavonic).
