Case 2 - Torboog, Kansas
Known Information
– From a newspaper article dated August 10, 2006 from a small town
called Torboog, Kansas (population 36,000). Residents of a new housing
development in the town are baffled becuase an unusually large number of children have
developed insomnia and anxiety disorders all claiming the boogeyman is
responsible and has been haunting/terrorizing them. They claim he usually
appears as a squat, hairy ape-like creature but that he can change his
appearance.
Information Hunters can find in Torboog
- In 1880 in the Red Hills area of Kansas, about 40 miles southwest of
Dodge City a huge parcel of land was once owned by Scottish farmer Torboog
Elias Mann who everyone called Boog. Despite suffering from hypertrichosis,
Boog was respected in the small community known as Huntsville at the time
due to his generosity and kindness. As Boog, who had no spouse or children,
grew older and could no longer farm his land himself he made a deal with
his neighbour, a young newcomer, that if his neighbour famed his land for
him for free for the rest of Boog’s life then Boog would leave a quarter
of his land to his neighbour. The neighbour quickly agreed, but a very
short time later killed Boog and got the land. The rest of the land was
taken over by the town and the town renamed after Torboog.
Afterwards no crops would grow on the land taken by the neighbour and bad
things happened to people who stayed on that land. Now in 2006 there is
new housing development and a new elementary school on the land that has
helped increase the population of the town. Strange things have been
happening though.
Note: None of the Hunters know this additional information before going to Torboog.
