One of the last hallmarks of culture and civilisation is the evolution of moral behaviour and a collective ethic, which mystically combine towards a generalised appreciation of Right and Wrong. This inevitably creates semi-mythical iconic figures specific to a population, society or frat-house, which embody the very essence of these basic ideals. As cultural history diversifies, moving from an oral to a written tradition, every cultural group eventually creates their own version of The Bogeyman. Sometimes mythical, sometimes literal; sometimes even a duck, the Bogeyman, has dark and mysterious powers, that can be blamed for the ills and misfortunes of the community at large. And occasionally scares small children, apparently.
