I thought I was the only one who ever heard of Spring Heeled Jack. Last night on the History Channel show "Monster Quest" on floating humanoids they described an incident in America in the 50s where a Spring Heeled Jack like figure terrified a home. I was like - whoa - Spring Heeled Jack in modern times?

Even if it is BS - and by that I mean it is a figment of people's imagination it is fascinating to me because people imagine the same thing seperated by thousands of miles and decades of time.

He was featured in an episode of the old "Jackie Chan Adventures" cartoon. That's the first time I heard of him.

You’re not the only one to hear of Spring Heeled Jack, I read about him in the book Strange Stories Amazing Facts, put out by Readers Digest, and I think there is a little illustration of him there.
