An interesting response to an otherworldy encounter
Check out the 10th story from this post on the Phantoms and Monsters blog, related by a fellow in Valley View, South Australia.
The young man and his girlfriend returned to the scene of a previous encounter with a 'shadow man' armed with...get this...iron bars, bags of salt and holy water.
According to folklore, the Good Neighbors cannot abide iron. Holy water and salt are known protections against their interference as well, salt being a symbol of preservation and eternity. So, whether this guy was aware of it or not, he was prepared to protect himself using age-old, anti-boggart tactics.
Apparently, it worked, because they failed to encounter the 'shadow-men' upon their return to the scene.
