In this episode we look at Boggarts, those pesky and sometimes very dangerous poltergeist-like creatures that are known to haunt places in nature, and more-so homes and farms. We look at places that have Boggart connections and names to this day, what is a Boggart? And we take a look at probably the most famous Boggart story of all, the true tale of a farming family tormented by one of these pesky creatures
