Random information on the term ” Ogre”:
In Manx folklore, a buggane (or boagane) was a huge ogre-like creature native to the Isle of Man. Some have considered them akin to the Scandinavian troll.
A shapeshifter, the buggane is generally described as a malevolent being that can appear as a large black calf or human with ears or hooves of a horse. It was large enough to tear the roof off a church. Its natural form is described as “covered with a mane of coarse, black hair; it had eyes like torches, and glittering sharp tusks”. Another tales describes it as a huge man with bull’s horns, glowing eyes and large teeth.
As magical creatures, bugganes were unable to cross water or stand on hallowed ground.
The most famous story recounts a buggane who found himself an inadvertent stowaway on a ship bound for Ireland. Determined to return to the Isle of Man, he caused a storm and guided the ship towards the rocky coast of Contrary Head. His plan was interdicted through the intervention of St. Trinian. Invoked by the captain with a promise to build a chapel in his honour, the saint guided the ship safely into Peel Harbour. Incensed, the buggane screamed, “St. Trinian should never have a whole church in Ellan Vannin.” When the chapel came to be built, three times the local people put a roof on, and three times the buggane tore it off.
