ut an evasive apparition akin to the later Spring-Heeled Jack (whose attacks began in 1837), who seemed to bound away at great speed and height after slashing, exposing and mocking his hapless female victims. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Heeled_Jack

Spring Heeled Jack was responsible for personal terror in my youth:
When I was around 10 years old, I went to stay the weekend with my uncle and aunt.
As is always my habit, I was the last to go to bed as I enjoyed staying up to the wee hours of the morning.
I decided to read a book on urban-legends/myths, and lo and behold, came across the story of “Spring Heeled Jack”.
Needless to say, it was a sleepless night, especially considering the room I was staying in had no curtains and I was CERTAIN that Mr. Jack was peering in on me everytime I closed my eyes...

Bill Bryson lived in England for many years, and in one of his books, wondered about the English and why they were so amused by the word “bottom”.
