Who or what is the Boogeyman? In this episode of the *Wondering Monsters Podcast*, we dig into the shadowy figure that has haunted bedtime stories for centuries. From medieval “bugbears” and Krampus’s sack to El Coco, the headless Pugot, and the gruesome Bloody Bones, the Boogeyman has taken countless forms across the world.

Join us as we explore:
The origins of the word “boogeyman” and how it evolved from ancient folklore
Global versions like Krampus, El Coco, and the Filipino Pugot
The role of the Boogeyman in enforcing social rules and controlling behavior
How pop culture reimagines the Boogeyman in movies, TV, and urban legends
Why this faceless, formless monster continues to terrify—and teach—us today

Whether you picture him hiding under the bed, in the closet, or just beyond the campfire light, the Boogeyman remains one of humanity’s oldest and most adaptable fears.

Listen now to the full conversation and discover how folklore, psychology, and storytelling collide in this chilling, fascinating creature of the dark.
