I assume this is not what “bogling to Aswad” means in Spaced.

18. The Bogle – Samantha Lee

In the Scottish Highlands, one should not go out at the “dark o’the moon.” If you do, the Bogle is bound to get you and eke out your death slowly and painfully and it has a year to do so. Peter and his dad the absent oil rig engineer don’t believe in the Bogle and poor Morag, the girl who knows her folklore of the area very well, can’t resist the dare that gets them all in super trouble. There’s also a curse at work on the house Peter’s dad moved his family into and the one person who can help with both of these things is an accused witch whose ancestor was burned in the time when being an accused witch led to death rather quickly. This was a pretty fun story and involved an impressive library with a grisly secret too, we know I like a good library.

This is what Thorfy’s always doing during the “dark o’the moon.” Always. No Bogle for him.

If Thorfy were to go out at night, it might be because a cursed spoon told him to. At least he wore his raincoat.
