Creature named „bobo” („bobok”, „bebok” „babok”, „babuk”) actually exists in the Polish folklore, and is thought to be the very one called „bogeyman” in English, „butzemann” in German, „babau” by Mediterraneans, „al-Bu’bu” in Egypt, „baboulas” by Greeks etc. „Bobołak” seems to be just another of its many spellings.
