There are varients and spellings of this Folkloric character. The Bogy man appears to have begun in the early nineteenth century. However, there is also the Boogie/Bogie man that came up through the patios of American slaves from Africa in the 17th century--Boogie meaning Devil.

The bogeyman legend may originate from Scotland, where such creatures are sometimes called bogles, boggarts, or bogies.[1].

The most common childhood conception of the bogeyman is that of someone (usually a monster) lurking in bedrooms (e.g., behind the door, in the closet, or under the bed), where he lies in wait before attacking the sleeper.


sure hope he is NOT in your fridge!!

Had to be my older brother - I spend most of my childhood in terror because of the boogyman, and I still have moments of weak knees when I have to cross a railroad track because of the Masher. Let's see, don't forget the many times I have taken a shower while holding a gun just outside the curtain because of that stupid movie "Psycho" my thoughtful brother took me to see when I was about 3 years old. And no, honey, the Boogyman isn't in your fridge because I am certain he is under my bed...
