Minor Project: Bogeymen Descriptions

Mr Plimsolls:

An old man with a bald head, and a hunched back. During Summer he would wear a peaked cap, a white vest top, white to the knee shorts, brown calf high socks and white plimsolls. Lived in a bungalow with an overgrown front garden, with a giant hedge that covered the entire house, hiding it away from view.
The young girl would see him, early in the morning, shuffle up and down the road, stick in one hand and bag in the other. He would pause, waving his stick and shouting out before continuing his pace down the road. One Summer the girl had such bad nightmare of Mr Plimsolls, of him staring and stalking her, that she spent an entire summer trapped indoors from the fear of him getting her.

Life Drawing Clown:

A life drawing model, who was modelling in front of a class of primary school aged students, dressed as a clown, wore a red puffy wig on his head and face mask that had a overtly smiley face with a red nose. Wore a purple suit coat, with yellow striped pants, a white shirt and a big comedic bow. Looked scary enough to implement a fear of clowns.

O' Barney:

An aggressive neighbour, he was an unshaven, bald, rough looking man who wore a blue duffel coat. Would stare at his neighbour's house from a nearby field. Was also involved in multiple cases of property damage to his neighbour including, slashing tires, smashing his neighbour's front door and almost doing violent act to his neighbour. The son, my cousin, was terrified of the run ins he had with O' Barney.

Mr Polo (The Two Brothers):

Two Polish brothers who, to the young boy, looked "impossibly old and undoubtedly weird". One brother was never seen, acting as though he was a shadow, while the other brother, referred to as "Polo"
Polo appearance was similar to a baby's, bald and neckless, bulky build with skin that appeared grey. He was wrapped up in layers and layers of woollen clothing, and was elusive and mysterious. Picking ingredients in his garden like a witch or warlock. Because he looked and acted so different, hidden in mystery, the boy next door felt as though he brought fear and the cold with him even in hot summer days

Werewolf Dad:

A dad who when asleep sounded so beastly it was like he turned into a werewolf in his sleep. It scared his daughter so much that she would lay in bed as straight as a mummy trying not to move just in case the werewolf came into her room to eat her.
