Where does the Boogeyman come from?

In case you didn’t know Boogeyman, also known as Bogeyman, does not have a characteristic shape since it is part of the popular legend of different countries. The idea is that he is a person who wears a robe and never shows his face. The legend of this evil creature originated in Scotland, where it is also known as boggart, bogles or bogies.

The stories related to Boogeyman were evolving, to the point that in some regions it is male and in others a woman. But the most common characterization is that it is a creature that is dedicated to scaring children and that it lies in wait in bedrooms, especially behind the door, inside a closet or under the bed, to wait for the little ones fall asleep and take them away.

On the other hand, in the United States, it does not access the bedrooms, but scratches the windows from the outside while adopting the form that scares its victim the most.. In Spain, this creature is known as the “bogeyman”, although luckily in our popular culture at least we don’t put him as a terrifying creature…
