Historical Background
In Scottish folklore, the Bodach is a spirit. It was usually depicted as an old man wearing dark gray or an elderly dark gray figure. It has all the usual features of spirits in the British Isles: foretelling the death of members in a clan, stealing children or otherwise causing mischief. The most common depiction is of a spirit which comes down the chimney to terrorize and/or kidnap children. Bodach is the Scottish-Gaelic word for "old man". Historically it was used as a pejorative term to refer to peasants or farmers (bothach) by the warrior class amongst the Scots.
