London and Edinburgh had their spring-heeled jacks long before they appeared in Lasswade in Johnny's time. As long ago as 1837 a real, flesh-and-blood ghost in the shape of a spring-heeled jack was caught by a London policeman […]

inh+

Ihm verwandt ist der Schrat, (ahd. Scrat) ein wilder, zottiger, rauher Waldgeist dem römischen Faun und Silvanus, dem griechischen Satyr vergleichbar. Er kommt nur männlich vor und einzeln lebend, wodurch er sich von den besonders im Südosten Deutschlands bekannten Waldleuten, Holzleutchen oder Moosleutchen unterscheidet, die wohl auch mitunter einzeln erscheinen, jedoch meist als ein zusammen hausendes zwergartiges Völkchen.

1852, Johann Wilhelm Wolf, “Einzelne elbische Wesen”, in Die deutsche Götterlehre […] , page 59:

Related to him is the bugbear (OHG. Scrat), a wild, shaggy, rough forest spirit comparable to the Roman faun and Silvanus or the Greek satyr. He only appears as a male living alone, which differentiates him from the forest folk especially well-known in southeastern Germany, the Wood People or Moss People, who also occasionally appear singly, however mostly as a dwarfish people dwelling together.

From older Sicilian *gunnella (now gunnedda) and/or Italian gonnella, from a diminutive of Latin gonna, whence also English gown. The replacement of /ɡ/ with /ɣ/ is unusual even in early borrowings. At any rate it requires that the borrowing occurred before the beginning of the merger of /ɣ/ with /ʕ/, thus earlier than 1700.

1969, Günther Weisenborn, The Man Without a Face, page 10:

He is angry and equips himself accordingly—with a penknife to give the offender a comprachico countenance, a mirror to show him the effect, and a pair of nailed boots to give him his dismissal.

Various etymologies are proposed for this name.
Per Vasmer, related to a word that meant "an elevated place open on all sides, a market square, a barn". According to Vladimir Dal, the name was possibly from Proto-Turkic *buydan, meaning "elevated space, market square", making it somewhat related to майда́н (majdán).
According to Potebna and Preobr., related to an obsolete term, буй (buj), which meant "a hill, an open place, a crowded place", making it derived from Proto-Slavic *bujati (“to grow rapidly, to rage”). Another theory suggests that the name was from Proto-Slavic *bujanъ or Proto-Slavic *bujьnъ (“stormy, violent”).
