So it was a curious thing that i had a dream in which a small person who somehow i knew was a bogart was stalking me in my dream trying to give me a rose lol I managed to avoid it ,it seemed to me to be attracted to power. i realise it was just a dream . Anyway i went online and googled but online found vague reference.

Btw. I'd answer your question, except I don't know anything about fairies, let alone bogarts! Sorry. :o

In Yorkshire England folklore, a boggart (or bogart) is a household spirit which causes things to disappear, milk to sour, and dogs to go lame. Always malevolent, known to be extremely hostile and mischievous, the boggart will follow its family wherever they flee. In Northern England, there is the belief that the boggart should never be named, for when the boggart was given a name, it would not be reasoned with or persuaded and become uncontrollable and destructive.

It is said that the boggart crawls into people's beds at night and puts a clammy hand on their faces. Sometimes he strips the bedsheets off them. Sometimes a boggart will also pull on a person's ears. Hanging a horseshoe on the door of a house is said to keep a boggart away.

The Scottish variant is the bogle (or boggle).

Horseshoes are considered a luck charm in many cultures. The shape, fabrication, placement, and manner of sourcing can all important, depending on traditions. A common tradition is that if a horseshoe is hung on a door with the two ends pointing up then good luck will occur. However, if the two ends point downwards then bad luck will occur. Traditions do differ however on this point. In some cultures, the horseshoe is hung points down (so the luck pours onto you); in others, it is hung points up (so the luck doesn't fall out); still in others it doesn't matter so long as the horseshoe has been used (not new), was found (not purchased), and can be touched. In all traditions, luck is contained in the shoe and can pour out through the ends.

Horseshoes are placed above doorways is to ward off Faeries; the theory being that Faeries are repelled by iron and as horseshoes were an easily available source of iron, they could be nailed above a door to prevent any unwanted guests.
