Summary
A shadowy figure with impossible leaps—25 feet or more—haunted Victorian England as Spring-Heeled Jack, terrorizing victims from London to Liverpool with clawed attacks and wall-clearing jumps. Known also as the Galosher Man or Leaping Terror, his identity remains lost to history, though theories abound—including hidden springs in his boots. From Mary Stevens’ brutal assault in 1837 to rooftop sightings in Everton, his legend grew louder than any explanation. Decades later, he’s still out there… or at least, in our nightmares.
