The Boggart
My thanks go to Rex Goode for inspiring this first attempt at fanfiction.  On an email list, he once wondered what would happen if there was some spirit inhabiting Collinwood.  It wasn't too far from St. Patrick's Day so I let my imagination run wild.  I thought of a leprechaun but quickly decided that wouldn't work.  They live out in the open and live to hide their gold.

I did a little digging and found the boggart in Irish lore.  The boggart is a sort of a brownie with a nasty temper.  They live in the walls of houses and woe unto you if you offend one!  They won't leave you be until you either (a) move or (b) figure out how to get them to move!

I also thought that perhaps Joshua Collins wasn't the only ancestor that doctored up the family history book. ;-)
