Boogieman
The bogeyman (; also spelled or known as bogyman, bogy, bogey, bogieman, boogie monster, boogieman, bugaboo, bug-a-boo, boogie woogie, bugabear, or bugbear and in North American English also boogeyman) is a type of mythic creature used by adults to frighten children into good behaviour. Bogeymen have no specific appearance and conceptions vary drastically by household and culture, but they are most commonly depicted as masculine or androgynous monsters that punish children for misbehaviour. The bogeyman or conceptually similar monsters can be found in many cultures around the world. Bogeymen may target a specific act or general misbehaviour, depending on what purpose needs serving, often on the basis of a warning from the child's authority figure. The term is sometimes used as a non-specific personification or metonym for terror, and in some cases, the Devil.
