Boggart

 Hello Friends!!! Today, I will tell you story about boggart. So... read carefully!!!^^

The Boggart is most commonly found in the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire, its name appears in places such as Boggart's Clough and Boggart's Hole in Lancashire. Boggarts were mischievous spirits responsible for mishaps and poltergeist activity within the home and in the countryside. They would rearrange furniture, break pots and generally be blamed for 'things that go bump in the night'.
They were often found attached to families and could be helpful within the household until they were insulted in some way. Boggarts had the ability to shape-shift, and sometimes appeared in the form of animals. If offerings were left out for them they would not cause trouble. The supposed ghosts of people were also called Boggarts, and the word may be have been used to explain any strange phenomena in the past. An outbreak of poltergeist activity on a farm above Oldham in Lancashire was attributed to a Boggart and there are several such stories, some of which we will outline in the future.

Jinxed Royal Wedding Ceremony


The story begins in May of 1867 as Princess Maria del Pozzo della
Cisterna prepares for her wedding to the King's son, the Duke of
D'Aosta. The first disaster strikes when the Princess's wardrobe
mistress hangs herself. The princess immediately hires another
seamstress to make her a new gown.

On the day of the wedding, the ceremony is delayed when the
officer leading the royal procession collapses from a heat stroke.
When the party arrives at the palace, the gatekeeper won't open the
gates. He's discovered dead at his post.


After the wedding ceremony, the best man accidentally shoots
himself while toying with a ceremonial gun. Anxious to get away, the
couple flees for the train station to begin their royal honeymoon and
escape tragedy. As soon as they leave the palace, the official who
composed the marriage contract dies from a sudden heart attack.
Before the couple can arrive at the train station, the stationmaster
somehow stumbles into the path of an oncoming train, the one sent to
collect the couple.


The King rushes to the station to prevent the couple from boarding
the train because by now he's convinced that there's a curse or jinx
on the couple. He attempts to herd everyone back to the palace, but
on the way, the Count of Castiglione, who's riding beside the royal
carriage, tumbles from his horse and is run over by the carriage.
He's killed by one of his uniform medals crushed into his chest
