In Notes on the Folklore of the Northern Counties of England and the Borders (1866) by W. Henderson, bogles are described in one tale as possessing a rather better nature than most goblins, only bedeviling wrong-doers in a retributive manner; however, in another account a bogle haunts a household and can only be got rid of with the aid of a Bible, whereupon he hastily departs in the form of a gray cat. After many years he reappears as a death omen just before the man of the house is killed in the mines.

Another haunting tale is of Berry Well, in a village in Yorkshire, where a bogle takes on the shape of a white goose.
