[2] John Francis Campbell in his Popular Tales of the West Highlands tells the story of Callum Mor MacIntosh whose farm in Lochaber was haunted by a bauchan.
The relationship between Callum and the bauchan was noted as being contradictory in nature.
While the bauchan was belligerent and combative, he often provided assistance in various farm-related tasks.
When Callum emigrated to New York City the bauchan went with him and helped him clear his new plot of land.
[2][3] The character "Buckeye" is a bauchan in the fantasy novel The Haunted Wizard (1999) by Christopher Stasheff.
