My informant a twenty-two year old native of Massachusetts revealed that in her family, there is a known monster called the Cigar Man. He is quite similar to the Boogeyman and was created when the youngest grandchild of the family, who is now eight, refused to believe in the Boogeyman. This was much more believable because there are people who actual smoke cigars and the children were more willing to believe in the cigar man. He was concocted to in order to scare children into behaving.
