Boezehappert

Living in deep lakes and ditches, the Child Terror Boezehappert (bûzehappert) is a child-eating water demon found in the Friesland area. Its name was probably derived from the Boeman. An old poem suggests the Boezehappert should be a 9ft tall monster with scales, sharp nails, a set of horns, big sharp teeth and green eyes that light up. It preys on children foolish enough to play at the waterside.
