Interesting Sighting Details:
In one of the 1837 sightings, a woman heard a
loud knocking on her door. She opened the door to
see a man she thought was a police officer standing
there. The officer shouted 'for gods sake, bring me
a light, we have caught springheel jack in the lane'.
The woman returned with a candle, but the man at
the door was gone, she ventured outside to find a
man standing by her gate. As the woman gave the
man the candle, he removed his cloak, and spew out
blue and white flames from his mouth. The man then
tore at the womans dress, and scratched her stomach
and face. While the attack was happening, the woman
noticed the mans eyes were glowing like red coals of
fire. The womans sister heard her screams for help,
and ran out into the street, as the creature fled away.
In 1877 numerous townspeople shot at the creature
as it was sighted in the street late one night. The
people wondered if they were hitting him, since none
of the bullets seemed to stop the creature, but were
later found wedged in buildings along the street. A
sentry who was an excellent marksman fired and
claimed that his bullet hit the creature but it seemed
to pass right though him, doing no damage whatsoever.
After the 1800's the creature was no longer sighted
in England, but in the 1930's he started appearing in
other places. He was sighted in Silver City, New mexico,
then in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Numerous reports said
he often spewed blue-white flames from his mouth, the
same as was described in the 1800's cases in England.
2005 has brought us new reports of Springheel Jack.
Police have had hundreds of reports of a creature, who
is described as the same being that attacked England
residents back in 1837. Witnesses say the being is
entirely clad in black and wears a balaclava; he also
wears a cape and his eyes shine red.
The creature is able to cross the streets by leaping from
one rooftop to the next, taking acrobatic leaps that can
be of up to five meters high and ten meters long.
"He looks like the cat man," say some locals. "His outline
is barely visible, his figure. He never showed his face, but
they say they've seen his eyes and that they have a bright
reddish glow." One resident shot at the creature at close
range, and said the bullets did nothing to even slow him.
Webmasters Comments About This Case:
There were many occult masters and practitioners
during the time that Springheel Jack started appearing
in England. It could be he was a creature that was
summoned by a spell, during one of the many occult
ceremonies of this time. The creature certanily had
powers and abilities different than a human. And again
as in numerous creature sightings, he even had the
red glowing eyes. Bullets would pass through him
without causing harm.
I wonder if maybe Springheel Jack and Jack The Ripper
could of been the same creature ? Time seems to have no
effect on Springheels demise, espicaly with new reportings
again now in 2005. Of course as I have said before
these spirtual beings never die, you cannot kill a spirtual
creature. Only the lord and his angels can imprison, or control
them, and until that is done they will continue terrorizing
mankind.
