One thing i love about 'Jack' characters in myth and fairy tales is the fact that some cultures have decided they are all the same Jack. So Jack from jack and the beanstalk is also the jack who jumped over the candlestick, springheeled jack, the jack from jack and jill, jack frost and so on, all at different stages of his life, transforming from merely a rather dim child into an eldritch force of nature

It's a long-standing informal way to refer to "just any random male," usually intended for strangers and social outcasts, dating back to the 14th century (jakke). We use "john" somewhat similarly, as when police use it to refer to unidentified males. In other words, "Jack the Ripper" = "Unidentified socially deviant male, the Ripper"

This story makes me think of all the macabre things the Victorians got up to. Their fascination with the dead and supernatural beings is legendary. Disabled people being used in side shows the ouija board, propping dead relatives up for photo shots and of course remember the tales of vampires and monsters which were popular reading matter widely circulated even at a relatively low cost. But even today we have the same syndrome happening with the U.F.O's. As for the superhero story: I have heard that these incredible characters are a deliberately planned attempt to make citizens who are living through a very difficult situation in their country not to lose hope and to feel that someone or something out there has their back. As for the multiple sightings of Jack I am sure a lot of pranksters were involved and a lot of the reports could have been used by the media to promote the sales of their newspapers. Humans love the strange and dreadful to peak their curiosity.
Since I was a very young lad, this tale has always fascinated me. I could barely read properly at the time, but the stories of Spring-Heeled Jack were so intriguing.

I think spring heeled Jack was a combination of stories, and several individuals over a period of approximately 50 years. Especially the incidents of the 1870s, I believe that certain individuals took up the identity to terrorize the neighborhoods, but are completely unrelated to the incidents of the 1830s.

This video was fascinating! I'd heard about Spring-Heeled Jack through a few sparse items found online. Since the story was ried to the place where my gggGrandparents lived after their marriage in 1835, I was fascinated to learn more about the times in which they lived. You included more about this time in history than any other source I have found. Great research and terrific presentation - as usual!
Another great video. Thank you. love your humor, "I guess even "demons need a hobby."
I had a period of time in my life where I was haunted by the Night Hag. Here's what happened: (One thing you should know about me, I'm not scared of anything. I could sleep naked on the street without so much as a hint of anxiety.) Anyways, it started with me waking-up, with sleep paralysis, and I'd be PETRIFIED that something "unnatural" was right-outside the door to my bedroom. VERY ODD for me. This happened a few times over the course of a week. Then, next, I'd start waking-up (without sleep paralysis) and for the BRIEFEST of moments I'd see a dark shadow or figure moving across my bedroom. This happened a few times over the course of about a week as well. Next, I fell asleep one night, only to be IMMEDIATELY WOKEN UP by something tapping my foot. This happened only once. Lastly, I woke-up with sleep paralysis one morning, at 7-8AM, and I was sleeping on my back (which is odd for me.) Anyways, as I open my eyes, there she was. This old "distorted" witch, her facial features were INSANELY out of proportion, and she was standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME and my bed. Leaning over, deadly quiet, peering into my eyes, unmoving. Oddly, THIS TIME I wasn't fearful, not in the slightest. The emotions which came to surface were annoyance, disgust, and contempt (for her.) She was entirely "black and white," and she didn't seem to be reflecting the morning light. Rather, it was like she was made of tiny black-holes and was ABSORBING all the light except blackness. I closed my eyes to go back to sleep, and to end the paralysis, and NEVER experienced anything like that again. Other things of note: During this time of my life, I was experiencing "bad luck" the likes of which I'd thought was impossible. And, on the day that I saw her, when I went to pee, it was bright pink. I pee'd blood. That never happened again either, and it was years ago now. If she is real, it's like you can only see / experience it when you're in that state RIGHT between awake/sleep, that is her window to communicate and interact with you. And, only natural day-light seems to give her shape.

Jack the Ripper has five confirmed kills before the invention of surveillance cameras, LED street lights, smart phones, finger print analysis, and other modern forensics techniques , and he is immortalized for all time. Spring Heeled Jack has supernatural abilities, terrorized England for the span of 62 years and he's a foot note in history that most people ignore. What a world.
Its funny how the invention of street lamps have magically stopped things like spring heeled jack from being a thing in modern day.
THANK YOU! This is one of my favorite characters from Victorian England. Absolutely love the stories. Thank you so much for putting this one out there.

First discovered Spring Heeled Jack when I was about Sixteen. He is quite fascinating to find out about. Thank you for this..I haven't seen him covered before.
Good video. The last named sighting wasn't in Liverpool though. The final one recorded, to my knowledge, was again in Sheffield in an area called Attercliffe, during 1977. At the time he was referred to as 'the prowler', a large figure with glowing red eyes was reported to the police. Law enforcement then gave chase while he leapt along roof tops with 30ft bounds. Following the chase, it was concluded to be SHJ. There were several eye witnesses to this event as well.
I've wondered if our heartfelt feelings - our emotions - are capable of manifesting temporary, but very real, physical things. This thought first hit me contemplating Sumerian gods. Later, I reconsidered these thoughts after viewing duende videos on YT. Of course they could all be fake, and I could be crazy.

Spring-Heeled Jack also got a brief mention in the 1999 video game Shadow Man, although the game's American writers seemed to think that he and Jack the Ripper were the same person.
Spring Healed Jack, hmm sounds like a good future servant inspiration for Fate/

Jack-O-Lantern. You’re welcome. Happy Halloween.
You forgot Jack o’ lantern when you named other well known “jack’s” from fairy tales. The (in)famous Jack who supposedly walks around with a lantern and who doesn’t have a head, if I remember correctly

@@bigballerbenji7217 theres the "Rattenfänger von Hameln" which basically means rat catcher of Hameln( a city in Germany). He was some dude who got pissed at the people in Hameln who didn't pay him for catching their rats. So he took the children of Hameln an brought them to a cave where he just closed them in.

Kinderfresser = child eater Cannibalism is a common theme in German folklore and jokes for some reason.
Great research mate. Whether true or false it's fascinating stuff
There was a documentary about several unexplained phenomena some years ago and I seem to remember that sightings of Jack in several British cities coincided with a Circus being nearby on several occasions. That and the Victorians had a particular penchant for such stories, in Penny Dreadfuls and Gothic horror.
The marquis... Isn't it pronounced Marquee? Or is it two different things?

Mar-kee is the only way I've ever heard it pronounced, however that is because I'm American (and that is the American pronunciation); the proper British pronunciation is as in the video. It is different than the Maquis (mah-kee) as from Star Trek DS9/Voyager (as well as WWII France).

In the various peerages of the UK, it's spelled "marquess" and pronounced just as Thoughty2 pronounces it.

Ta, for reminding me of this, had forgotten. I read it in a book way back in the day. 😁
at 10:26 the Kindlifresser, is a fountain made by Hans Gieng it up between 1542 and 1546 in Bern Switzerland
I remember fighting Spring Heeled Jack in AC Syndicate. I was pissed I wasn't allowed assassinate Karl Marx and had to help him spread Socialism instead in that game. I also enjoyed driving the carriages around and crashing them.
Rumor has it that "Elf on the shelf" is really "Spring-Heeled Jack's" creepier 4th cousin twice removed...
Just watched the Jack the Ripper video...Now Spring Heeled Jack...This channel is great!
@Thoughty2 Today I learned in the line of r pop e at 8:50, “Jack’s alter-ego, the Marquis”, “marquis” in some places is correctly pronounced *maar-kwiss* instead of *maar•kee* as my ears originally thought it was incorrect, however that it’s the British pronunciation vs. the correct American English pronunciation
