[@artemiswallace8716]

springheeled jack is my favourite strange story/cryptid. it's just so god damn bizzare. the most likely story is this is a rich dude who dressed up like a devil and parkoured across london pulling what he most likely saw as "pranks" and honestly, if thats the most realistic story, its still one hell of a story. I really hope this story catches more people's imagination. Springheeled jack deserves to be widely known along with big foot and moth man.

[@samhirst2830]

I have no idea who or what it was. Alot of the eyewitness accounts stated that it was 7 feet tall, towering over people and many stated that it could leap on to the roofs of 3 story townhouses. The only two things that I can think of is that opium was really popular back then and that newspapers would pay people for interviews in a time where alot of people suffered from living in abject poverty so some of them may have intentionally made up stories to gain money in times of desperation.

[@astrowolvez]

Considering women were raped I don’t know if prank is the right wording. But could be a rich person who wanted to do crime and praying on poor women no one would really care. Or so he thought.

[@artemiswallace8716]

@@astrowolvez it was never explicit when it comes to jack, thats only a theory added on later. and if that theory holds true, jack was never involved witht hose actions, he was used as a way to explain the trauma.

Spring Heeled Jack.. Jack the Ripper.. why all the “Jack” nicknames in London?

[@taehyungkim4267]

London doesn't like jack

[@knightowl3577]

Jack represented the common man in 17th and 18th century England and gave rise to expressions like "Jack Tar" for sailors and "Jack the Lad" for someone who was a bit of a rogue or petty criminal.

2:25 Business owners were not considered upper class in Victorian England, not unless they had an upper class background. A rich businessman would be seen as middle class (or even working class) no matter how rich he was. The true upper class was the landed gentry and the aristocracy. This only began to change in the 1980s.

Spring-Heeled Jack: The Demon of Lemon

[@DarthArachnious]

One of the Spring-Heeled Jack Penny Dreadfuls from 1899. Is called The Human Bat. There's a lot of things similar to Batman. But no real proof that Bob Kane ever read it. But the list of things he stole & plagiarized over the years is staggering. Apparently there's a Spring-heeled Jack story that takes place in the old west. I'll have to track that one down.

I started to become fascinated with this London urban legend due to its inclusion in Terrordrome Reign of the Legends. The reimagining it as a man with prostethetic legs, tractable wrist blades and a mask that allows him breath fire. And how this thing actually mightve been the original inspiration for BATMAN
