Afghanistan – The Madar-i-Al is a nocturnal hag that slaughters infants in their cribs and is invoked to frighten children into obedience. Churnmilk Peg in West Yorkshire was a female goblin who guarded nut thickets until they could be harvested and would always be seen smoking a pipe. Upon spotting male prey that fits such criteria, they embrace their target tightly in their big, soft arms.
The personality traits of bogeymen most easily divide the species into three categories: the kind that punishes misbehaving children, the kind that is more prone to violence, and the kind that protects the innocent.The word black/ schwarz does not refer to the colour of his skin, but rather to his preference for hiding in dark places, such as in the closets or under the beds of children. Grindylow, Jenny Greenteeth and Nelly Longarms were grotesque hags who lived in ponds and rivers and dragged children beneath the water if they got too close. In the countries of central and Eastern Mediterranean, children who misbehave are threatened with a creature known as "babau" (or "baubau", "baobao", "bavbav", or بعبع "Bu'Bu'" or similar).
The tour de force ending is a real treat and readers will not sneeze at the profound silliness that abounds. Instead, it is those who can't get any love from their parents, such as orphans who never had anyone to love them in the first place, or adult men with nobody to even cling to that have a heart continuously filling with sadness that are the ones they would most likely visit.The details vary regionally and by household due to oral tradition, but it always manifests as a menacing hag who hunts irreverent children. In other places he hides or appears from under the bed or in the closet and tickles children when they go to sleep at night, while in others he is a tall figure in a black hooded cloak who puts children in a sack. In some regions (mainly in western Poland) a more common creature is Bebok/Bobok which is a small, annoying demon.
In Spain, parents will sing lullabies or tell rhymes to children, warning them that if they do not sleep, El Coco will come to get them. Russia and Ukraine – Children are warned of Babay/Babayka, [44] buka, and Baba Yaga, who are said to come for them at night if they misbehave. She is briefly mentioned in a tale of the 1001 Nights, and is known in some other Persian Gulf countries as well.Even after that, they continue to cuddle with their prey, consoling him with their body should he ever get sad again, and once it's healed, they resume giving him his endless reward.
Other examples include the Buhmann (who is mostly proverbial) and der schwarze Mann ("The Black Man"), [13] [ verification needed] an inhuman creature which hides in the dark corners under the bed or in the closet and carries children away. It is said that he kidnaps spoiled, misbehaving children and takes them away to the mountains, where they are never seen again. The word has equivalents in many European languages as bogle ( Scots), púca, pooka or pookha ( Irish), pwca, bwga or bwgan ( Welsh), bucca ( Cornish), buse or busemann ( Norwegian), puki ( Old Norse), bøhmand or bussemand ( Danish), bûzeman ( Western Frisian), boeman ( Dutch), boeboelaas ( Surinamese Dutch), Butzemann ( German), bòcan, * bogu ( Slavonic), buka, Babay/Babayka, búka ( Russian), bauk ( Serbian), bubulis ( Latvian), baubas ( Lithuanian), bobo ( Polish), buba/gogol ( Albanian), bubák ( Czech), bubák ( Slovak), bebok ( Silesian), [6] papão ( Portuguese), bampoúlas ( Greek), bua ( Georgian), [ citation needed] babau ( Italian), babáj ( Ukrainian), [ citation needed] baubau ( Romanian), papu ( Catalan), and mumus ( Hungarian).
