A bite sized look into the monsters of global folklore and mythology with Erin, a self-confessed, mythology nerd. On streaming platforms every Thursday! (she/her)
Captioned 'The Bogey-Owl', a shadowy thing with claws, wings, a beak and a huge eye, follows a small child in a night-dress, who is running down a corridor, hiding his or her eyes.
I'm intrigued by the similar prefix attached to words for 'goblin' throughout the UK: eg bogle, bogey, boggart, bugaboo and in Wales bwgan. Either of the last two may have given us 'Boo!' Bug - a small, creepy thing - is perhaps from the same root word, one which may be 1000s of years old.

The title page of 'Daemonologie, in Forme Of A Dialogue, Divided into three books: Written by the high and mightie Prince, James...' etc etc
'Daemonologie', written in 1603 by King James I of England (VI of Scotland), convinced that a storm that nearly wrecked his ship off the coast of Scotland had been summoned by witches. The canny Shakespeare wrote 'Macbeth' to gain the favour of the newly crowned and paranoid king.
