The Boogeyman, a common story told by most parents to get their children to do the right things such as go to sleep on time, do their chores, things of that nature. The name "boogeyman" has originated from Scotland grown on from other names such as bogles, boggarts, bugaboos or bugbears. Having no appearance in the minds of any eye the unknown roams from closet to closet enhancing fear within children’s minds. With this unknown creature lurking about in the household or the closets of where the children’s rest their heads, this creature has no set gender. In some regions of the country it is a man, in others a woman, else where maybe even both.
The illusion of the boogeyman was that as a kid you think that whatever your parents tell you is real no matter what it is, and that so called character will do something terrible if u don’t follow the rules to keep it out of your household. The boogeyman who had no real structure or features to begin with, just a made up fictional tall tale used for parental advantage to get what they wanted. In some countries the Boogeyman is known as different names such as Sack Man, El Cuco, and Talasam.
