There's really only one tried and true hiding location, isn't there? You make your way home and crawl under your bed. You consider that it really is the perfect spot; close to home, yet far from eyes. Even the Boogeyman uses it to great effect.
"I sure do," the Boogeyman says from directly beside you, as if he'd been reading your thoughts. You gasp, but manage to restrain most of the sound for the sake of staying hidden. You didn't realize the the Boogeyman was real, but it turns out that he's both real and a ravenous slobbering beast who's likely about to kill and eat you.
