The bogeyman, boogyman, bogyman, or boogeyman, is a legendary ghostlike monster often believed in by children. The bogeyman has no specific appearance though it is very common that he resembles a zombie or frankenstein's monster[citation needed], and bogeyman can be used metaphorically to denote a person or thing of which someone has an irrational fear. The bogeyman legend may originate from old Dutch & other sailor's tales in reference to the particularly fierce inhabitants of a particular part of the Indonesian Islands - fierce enough to repel the Europeans and thus stand out markedly from other area inhabitants. Scotland, where such creatures are sometimes called bogles, boggarts, or bogies.[1]
