Hi Icy,

I am looking for a solid reference for the statement allegedly made by Jane Alsop to police:
"He wore a large helmet and a sort of tight-fitting costume that felt
like oilskin. But the cape was just like the ones worn by the
policemen. His hands were as cold as ice and like powerful claws. But
the most frightening thing about him was his eyes. They shone like
balls of fire."

Would you happen to have anything on hand?

Thank you! ^___^
Dan

Not exactly those words, but I have a few press cuttings from the Times in 1838 where Alsop describes SHJ to the police.

E-mail me at icy (underscore) north (at) hotmail (dot) com

and I'll send them on...

This is still in the Flea Market...

My favourite theory is that episode of 'Primeval' where Spring-Heeled Jack was revealed to be a velociraptor in Victorian England...
