So is Spring Heeled Jack also considered to b Jack The Ripper

He's like the Victorian version of Batman and Spawn.

Funnily enough, there were penny dreadfuls where he actually was some masked avenger... Roamed the city like Batman, marked people with an X like Zorro (well, Zorro did it with a Z, obviously).

Or, more like, they're like Spring-heeled Jack.

Was looking for a story to listen to and he comes Mythology Unleashed with Spring-Heeled Jack

It's really hard not to make a Batman comparison with him. Including the part of him allegedly being a wealthy man with a public image of constant debauchery.

It's amazing how everyone is kinda already picturing a cinematic version or at least graphic novel huh !? Lol ......But he attacked young Ladies though!?

I'm actually ✍ a series of novels about this guy, saying that he was a French nobleman named Pierre who at age 20 was cheated out of his birthright by his unscrupulous younger brother Jaques, and went to a steampunk-style London with his Scottish friend James (who plays sort of a Q in James Bond or Dr Nefario in Despicable Me to Pierre), and after seeing the crime-ridden streets, he dresses as a devil, with mini flamethrowers (activated by blowing on the back of them) near the mouth of his vacuum-sealed devil mask/helmet and spring mechanisms in the heels of his boots, and began acting like a kind of Victorian-era Batman, working with the Po-Po fighting crime (all those women and other victims he attacked are shown to have had mob connections that the historical records left out, and he attacked them for interrogation purposes) and a wide variety of colorful villains like the psychopathic serial killer Jack the Ripper (in book 1), the artist anarchist Dorian Grey and his master thief ally Katrielle Landon (in book 2) the split personality 2-in-one duo of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (in book 3), the master thief Arsene Lupin (in Book 4), not to mention the demon barber of fleet street Sweeney Todd (in book 5), and more, the first book is titled, Springheeled Jack: Terror of The Underworld, Book 2 is titled Springheeled Jack: Return of The Terror Book 3 is titled Springheeled Jack: The Terror Walks Among Us, Book 4 is titled Springheeled Jack: Fall of The Terror, Book 5 is titled Springheeled Jack: The Unchained Terror, and Book 6 is titled Springheeled Jack: Triumph of The Terror. Now for some trivia, Pierre was, as a child, a nerd who was bullied by the aforementioned Jaques and his cousin Andre, who is described as "a brown-haired boy, tall for his age, like me and Jaques, and he had a scar across his left eye, from a fight he always bragged about when around Jaques or his friends, and on that same eye, he had longer eyelashes than his right eye" and when they were little, they would Bully Pierre, they even nicknamed him peewee as a sick joke, and somehow this bullying was ignored by Pierre's parents, wait, did I say ignored, I mean encouraged, because Jaques was the favorite child, due to being the man of action they wanted Pierre to be, as opposed to his brother, who was more of a student and thinker

Never EVER, give up on your writing!

I have actually read two accounts of people who claim to have seen him in modern times. One was about a family who were out driving (don't remember where but I guess London) who report seeing a dark figure leap across the road infront of their car and then leaping up to the top of a building. Another account was about two people, I think a girl and her mother, who said they saw a dark figure sitting ontop of the roof of the building infront of theirs. He saw them and laughed before leaping onto the next building and dissapearing into the night. I think the first account was from early 2000s while the second was from the 2010s

I love spring heeled jack. I remember reading a book of mythological creatures my grandfather had, i was super young. And this character was the one i remember most. Honestly wanting a spring heeled jack tattoo.

This is, I believe, the third version of Spring Heeled Jack I've heard. But I seem to almost always learn more from watching your videos. Not to say the others haven't been informative, they have in their own way. But for example: I did not know that Jack was a common name used in the same way of the name John Doe. While learning in general about Spring Heeled Jack and Jack the Ripper, usually I prefer listening about SHJ. Mostly because, from what I personally can recall, there has been better accounts as to what SHJ looks like where as Ripper there wasn't much. I like being able to envision the various versions of SHJ in my mind, aside from the images that are shown. Once again a marvelously done video! Thank you for your time and effort! Your voice is always perfect to listen to, especially for the myth's like SHJ.

No matter where you go each lore is a bit terrifying and very interesting to know you are not crazy in believing 😜 in mysterious things of the world.

I heard of Spring Heeled Jack from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Nice to know the fascinating lore of the legend.

I do enjoy listening to videos about spring heel Jack when I found out that 1837 is the same year for the first Dishonored game and the first appearance of Spring Heel Jack. The connections are there.

The way you move around in Dishonored, it would make sense if they did get some inspiration from spring heeled jack.

Spring Heeled Jack even made it as far as being somewhat immortalized in a cartoon, as the subject of an episode of the well liked children's cartoon Jackie Chan Adventures.

That's weird I looked this Lad/It up the other day after starting the show Luther again and there was some psycho who was proper into this character !! But Mythology Unleashed Stories before bed!!

I had the monster in my pocket version of spring healed jack. That brings back some memories.

Hypothetically in a fantasy world could Jack the ripper and Spring heeled Jack be the same person? They both target similar victims.

Spring-Heeled Jack actually went after men as well but preferred women. However his attacks were rarely leathal and he seems to have been more out to harass and scare people rather than killing them. He did injure a few people but only ever supposedly killed one person from what I have read. Jack the Ripper also went after sex workers while Spring-Heeled Jack seemed to target random women and men. The Ripper also was more methodical in how he killed people, removing specific organs with surgical skill. Springy, meanwhile, simply just punched, slashed and burned people

Hah! Thanks so much, my friend, for "springing" this fabulously cool video onto my evening! I've heard of this character before, but not as detailed as now, after watching this! Quite an intriguing figure, for sure, from his appearance, abilities, right down to his imperviousness to harm! The various theories regarding who, exactly, was Spring-Heeled Jack, all seem plausible to me! Very thought-provoking, indeed! Well done!💜🌍

Two years ago I was in the back of a car with two females both of them in the front, we were driving in rock ferry wirral. We noticed a dark figure under a tree then it changed shape almost resembling an elongated panther, it jumped over the car bonnet and disappeared down an entry. We actually thought we'd hit it. 100% true.

I first heard of spring heeled jack, through an episode of Jackie Chan adventures

Great video!

❤ all your video's mate 👍.

I think he worked in a circus which would explain his feats of acrobatics and flame throwing ! Just a thought.

Great work

Nice.Spring-Heeled Jack is not a well known legend

This is one of my favourite English legends. I'm English and I love our folk tales and legends.

There is at least 4 different distinct versions of spring heeled Jack.

Love this intro my dude

You know, believe it or not, my first introduction to this guy was actually the cartoon Jackie Chan Adventures!

Probably not, given the time frame. It's not 100% certain, though.

I'm surprised they haven't made a movie out of this

swear i remember reading in a book that there were supposedly sightings of him in new england after he disappeared from london

Funny how they still want people to believe he is a evil man or monsta , he is a hero, plain and simple!!!

I'm surprised this video didn't mention one fact. Springheeled Jack was at one point a possible suspect in being Jack the Ripper.

1834 ,76 years hall's comet return , Jeepers Creepers Spring-Heeled Jack: The Demon of London

Huh so there another Folktale story of someone name Jack. Never heard an this One I'm only Familiar with Jack the rapper

7:09 where did you get the laugh at the end?

is it Price at the end¿

Thought he was connected to jack the ripper

What is it with evil guys named Jack in London?

I think it was Jack the Ripper practicing before he became a serial killer

I don't believe it was a monster that attacked those people back then. I think it was a criminal if the Era and these criminals were later tied into spiritual creatures and became the devil like figure many Europeans know.

Where's the Spring Heeled Jack loitering around these days ?

Liverpool as well as London

Are we so sure this creature wasn't Jack the Ripper sightings????

He was a alien!

make for asian myths too

My Aunt saw him in the 80s

Can you talk about Jack The Ripper?

Great vid, but didn't Jackie Chan defeat this guy?
