Australia
The Boogie ManAlmost every boy and girl knows the story of the boogie man. He is a some what devilish creature that comes to get you. Of course we know this story is not real, but I wasn't aware that the boogie man was famous in other countries. It is also famous in Australia. One man tells a story of when he saw the boogie man. Here is his story. "This story is told on any given night in Australia, 'The boogie man maybe watching'. Our family had a house in my hometown Toowoomba, that was raised about three foot off the ground. My strict instructions were never to go under the house, for that was where the boogie man lived. "... "I specifically remember one time as I was going to the toilet (we had an outside toilet), I would run down the back stairs into the toilet and lock the door. The journey back however was my first encounter with the boogie man..." If you would like to read the full story you can go to the page listed in the citations.
