Bogles Views
The Larne Weekly Reporter of March 31, 1866, in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, carried a front page article entitled Bogles in Ballygowan, detailing strange goings on in a rural area where a particular house became the target for missiles being thrown through windows and on one occasion through the roof. Local people were terrified. The occurrences appeared to have ceased after several months and were being blamed on the fact that the house in question had been refurbished using materials from an older house which was apparently the preserve of the 'little people'. This is one of the few references in Northern Ireland to 'bogles' although the phrase 'bogey man' is widely used.
