    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
