An extensive investigation of the origins and numerous
sightings of the mysterious and terrifying figure known as
Spring-Heeled Jack
• Shares original 19th-century newspaper accounts of
Spring-Heeled Jack encounters as well as 20th and 21st-century
reports
• Explains his connections to Jack the Ripper and the
Slender Man
• Explores his origins in earlier mythical beings from
folklore, his Steampunk popularity, and the theory that he may
be an alien from a high-gravity planet
Spring-Heeled Jack—a tall, thin, bounding figure with
bat-like wings, clawed hands, wheels of fire for eyes, and
breath of blue flames—first leapt to public attention in
Victorian London in 1838, springing over hedges and walls, from
dark lanes and dank graveyards, to frighten and sometimes
physically attack women. News of this strange and terrifying
character quickly spread, but despite numerous sightings
through 1904 he was never captured or identified.
Exploring the vast urban legend surrounding this enigmatic
figure, John Matthews explains how the Victorian fascination
with strange phenomena and sinister figures paired with
hysterical reports enabled Spring-Heeled Jack to be conjured
into existence. Sharing original 19th-century newspaper
accounts of Spring-Heeled Jack sightings and encounters, he
also examines recent 20th and 21st-century reports, including a
1953 UFO-related sighting from Houston, Texas, and disturbing
accounts of the Slender Man, who displays notable similarities
with Jack. He traces Spring-Heeled Jack's origins to earlier
mythical beings from folklore, such as fairy creatures and land
spirits, and explores the theory that Jack is an alien marooned
on Earth whose leaping prowess is attributed to his home planet
having far stronger gravity than ours.
The author reveals how Jack the Ripper, although a different
and much more violent character, chose to identify himself with
the old, well-established figure of Spring-Heeled Jack.
Providing an extensive look at Spring-Heeled Jack from his
beginnings to the present, Matthews illustrates why the
worldwide Steampunk community has so thoroughly embraced Jack.
