The legend of Spring Heeled Jack first came into existence in Victorian times, when sightings of a terrifying man with the ability to jump incredibly high, and so avoid capture, were first reported in 1837. The character was said to have a ghastly appearance and was guilty of a whole host of sinister crimes. After his appearances in London he was reportedly sighted in Sheffield, London and Scotland and there are genuine police reports for many of the sightings.
