Spring-Heeled Jack

Spring-Heeled Jack

Jack the Ripper was not the only murderous 'Jack' in England. Starting in 1896, people all over the country of England there was a series of murders and mauling all describing the attacker to be a man with long, metallic claws and jumping at great heights in just one jump. In 1898 a woman was walking down a road near the woods when a english gentleman with long,cold claws as he mauled her. As she was screaming the neighbors went out to investigate and found a nearly dead woman lying on the ground. She says the attacker ran off when she screamed. In 1904 a neighborhood was terrorized when a unknown figure was hopping on the rooftops. Then after the sightings grew the press dubbed the figure 'Spring-Heeled Jack' because of his ability to jump and run and Jack after the recent Jack the Ripper murders. Jack is described in over 6 different ways. Some people report he looks like a ski suit guy wearing weird boots. Others say he looks like an english gentleman. One guy described him as Satan himself. Many people do not see Jack any more but in February of 2012 a couple was driving home after vacation when a silhouetted figure with no features ran fast across the road and climbed up a tree in 5 seconds. So what is he? There is no known evidence of the figures existence but many theories have emerged over the years. Some believe he is an alien that has the ability to jump and run. Others say he is a humanoid from another dimension while others believe he is the Devil. Whatever the cause is Spring-Heeled Jack will always be surrounded with mystery. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013! ! ! ! :{}
