Hello all this is my attempt on rescuing the following Entry from the Flea Market.

Entry: Spring-Heeled Jack - 19th Century Enigma - A17439924
Author: Serephina..wedding all booked yay - U191719

As the previous author did not site any websites on which to base her proof on I've started a complete fresh. So am unsure whether to add their Unumber still or not.

I'd thoroughly recommend discarding any websites for information regarding Spring Heeled Jack, and actually reading some BOOKS.

The information presented here is very much conjecture, and I suggest actually looking into the events surrounding the Jack sightings around Victorian London, especially those of the women he 'assaulted' (and the police).

And also explaining why he was called 'Spring-Heeled Jack'.

Perhaps you may also like to look into the Indian, American and Mexican 'Jacks'.

At present I'm afraid this lacks adequate description, inventiveness, the human touch, and passion. The information you've supplied can be found elsewhere, and more imaginatively. Sorry.

Oh, bloody hell Opti, you've practically copied all this from here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/legacies/myths_legends/england/black_country/index.shtml , which you've linked to in your Entry.

Why should we bother reading this when we can get more, and better constructed, information there?

I've a mind to yikes this due to copyright infringement, unless you can fix it, and quickly.
