The Boogie man is an interesting tale, from urban myth and history people have often reported shadow figures, often at night or between times of sleep/rest, this could be attributed to sleep paralisys... however I also feel the Djinn or other interdimensional beings could be part and parcel of the sightings.
"Here comes Peter Cotton tail hopping down the bunny trail..." A song and story I found very amusing when I was young[er]. The human imagination is a quality of mind that has virtually limitless potential - clearly some people shouldn't go in there alone.

And I am unsure why you are even in this forum if you feel that summoning is Bulls#it...
I wouldn't say it's Bulls#it... Now Bullsh*t would be a better descriptor. These demons and angels are merely mental manifestations of good and bad thoughts respectively. They are the result of early ontological excursions into the nature of reality, the nature of mind [quantum physics suggests the two are mutually dependent] which lacked the technical, conceptual wording, to properly explain the differentiated appearance of the phenomena -add to it the likelihood that most ancient people were slathering idiots and *poof* we have folklore and nonsensical imagery 9000...

After all one of the greatest occultist of all time, or most well noted, Aleister Crowley done various summonings.
I find the following correlation interesting..
Savant - A learned person or scholar.
Idiot Savant - A person with a mental disability
Where Mr. Crowley, oooohhhh Mr. Allow me... falls into the gap is anyones guess.
One popular opinion:
Mr. Crowley, what went wrong in your head?
Oh, Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead?

Typical ego-driven, morally condescending, baddledash. Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O...

The Occult is a broad subject...
I do enjoy the symbolic side:
I enjoy the occult as well - I just prefer to forgo the Bullsh*t Salad its always served with.
Interesting Video in terms of providing a "thinking framework" for wading through the Bullshit - which, seemingly, you are still mired in.

For me though, the ritualistic side, astral projection, lucid sleep and summoning I enjoy the most.
Cultures world over envoke and summon energies and entities even today, to say that summoning is bullsh#t
Read earlier response.

I enjoyed the Flintstones early in my life. Now, I rarely watch TV.. just to much mind-warping Bullsh*t

What I have expereinced is real, I have experienced it...
Oh I'm sure you've experienced something I just don't think it qualifies as supernatural. You've had what people have Daily. It's called a subjective experience - originating entirely within your mind. Can others say they've had similar experiences? Sure look at the founder of Mormonism or perhaps Judaism or even Christianity for example. We could say that similar experiences are had while on drugs, see Native or Shamanic religions. What is your point? What your saying isn't anything new it's just so much verbal rehash, ideological vomitus.

Thank God! I mean all hail Science!

UI suppose you would prefer to wipe your *ss with tea leaves or perhaps sleep in a grass shack? Or maybe ride a horse into town to get your groceries like in the romantic age? Or perhaps agriculture, plumbing, and media technology is just to much for you to handle?

Not delusional just dumb. I'm not judging you...

I experience sh*t everyday fortunately I have a vocabulary which allows me to identify it as sh*t ergo *flush*
