#FairyTaleTuesday #FairyTaleFlash: In the #Scottish Highlands the #bodach could appear either as relatively harmless trickster or, as the Bodach Glas or Dark Gray Man, as a male banshee who was seen just before a death.

Bodach roughly translated as Old Man is a folkloric creature found in the #Scottish #Highlands & is like the Bogeyman. His favourite hobbies include crawling down chimneys and poking young children with his long bony fingers. #FolkloreThursday #folklore https://t.co/zUL71KeFF1

In Scottish folklore the Bodach (Scots Gaelic - old man) is a trickster or bogeyman who comes down the chimney to kidnap naughty children. He is also sometimes an omen of death. This remarkable sculpture of one such creature is found of the shores of Loch Long. #FairyTaleTuesday

What to do with all those empty bank buildings no one needs anymore? In this case, move in a game shop and let people play in the old vault. Bodach's Games, St Louis. And yes they have access to the old pneumatic-tube terminals, and are thinking of using them for drive-in sales of CCG cards. #stlouis #gameshop #Bodach
