Spring-heeled Jack is an entity in English folklore of the Victorian era. The first claimed sighting of Spring-heeled Jack was in 1837. Reported all over the United Kingdom, Spring-heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical look, clawed hands, and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". Beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an oilskin. Many stories also mention a "Devil-like" aspect. Others said he was tall and thin, with the appearance of a gentleman.
