Golly Buster Posted July 16, 2012 #26 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The family likened it to Spring Heeled Jack, according to the story, so that's the link. But I think we should give this fella a new name of his own, since there's no real connection. The Ewell Sprinter? Boing-man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostHunterChickx Posted October 10, 2012 #28 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Isn't Jeepers Creepers supposed to be loosely based around the Spring Heeled Jack legend? If you haven't seen the movie, you haven't missed much. I like Jeepers Creepers before you see what it is....then it just looks silly x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunterChickx Posted October 10, 2012 #29 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I thought I saw something run across the road near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire late one night on way home from work....I hadn't been drinking and it seemed so real that I screamed (which is very unlike me, as not a really girly girl or a screamer for that matter!) my Husband slammed on the brakes as he thought he was going to hit something, he just saw a black shape, but I saw something tall and black bounding across the road. No idea what it was...other than it frightened the pap out of me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyverna Posted October 11, 2012 #30 Share Posted October 11, 2012 No offense intended, but there seems to be a lot of dark figures running about in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erowin Posted October 14, 2012 #31 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I love Spring Heeled Jack! Hes such an interesting cryptid, being so human. He also seems to project lots of rape/sexual assault fears- young women getting attacked by a man at night, only add in some super powers so he isn't "human". I almost wonder if this was started after a woman was sexually assaulted one night and the panic spread and exaggerated- fear of rape was probably a very big thing back in old London. It still is today! Hes a fascinating cultural icon, though I don't think hes an actual super human/alien jumping man by any means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what I saw, just a huge black shape darted in front of the car....was very scary, no features or anything :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
