Mary Stevens: In October 1837, Mary Stevens, while on her way to Lavender Hill through Clapham Common, was attacked by a cloaked figure who first leapt at her, then while gripping her firmly to bar movement, sexually assaulted her and tore off her clothes. As the girl screamed in horror, the assailant fled from the scene and despite a thorough search no trace of him was ever found.
The very next day Spring-heeled Jack was seen in Mary's neighborhood, where he jumped before a coach, causing the coachman to lose control and meet with an accident. He then gave out a horrific shriek of laughter and made his getaway by jumping over a 9 foot high wall.
Cowan's Announcement: As the victims of Jack grew in number, Sir John Cowan, the Lord Mayor of London, made a public announcement in which he read out a lengthy complaint from a concerned citizen which included various accounts of Jack's assaults
in February of 1838, Jack assaulted two more young women.
Jane Alsop: The first was Jane Alsop, who was in her father's house on the night of 19th February when there was a knock at the door and a voice called claiming to be a policeman, asking her to bring a light as he had caught Spring-heeled Jack in the lane. As she opened the door, she saw a cloaked figure waiting there. On handing over the candle to him, the man suddenly threw off his cloak, revealing "a most hideous and frightful appearance". With fiery eyes, he vomited blue and white flames on to Jane's face, and then tore off her gown and inflicted bloody scratches on her neck and arms with his ice-cold metallic claws. But Jane's sister appeared and Jack fled.
Lucy Scales: Again on 28th February, Lucy Scales, 18, was returning with her sister from their brother's house in Limehouse. As they were passing the Green Dragon Alley, Lucy came across a man in a large cloak, who unexpectedly spurted out some blue flame onto her face, disabling her sight and triggering violent fits which continued for hours.
these incidents were reported by the Times, and helped to spread Jack's fearful reputation.
a new wave of sightings and attacks took place in the 1870s and beyond.
Aldershot Barracks: In August 1877, at the Aldershot Barracks in North Camp, Central Road, a sentry came across a strange figure who advanced towards him and slapped him several times on the face. A guard shot at him, but with no avail. The figure then disappeared mysteriously with astounding leaps.
Liverpool: In 1888, in Everton, North Liverpool, Jack was spotted on the roof of St. Francis Xavier's Church on Salisbury Street.
Sometime after this last incident, Jack discovered there was a way to ascend to full demonkind, and began a decades long quest to obtain that goal through the collection of souls; 1,313 pure innocent souls to be exact. During the tail end of the 1940s, after the conclusion of WW2, Jack established a supernatural mercenary group composed of unique individuals, known as the Oktobermen. For three years, through manipulation and coercion, Jack lead his band of misfits, before he was betrayed in 1951, where he was finally apprehended after a citywide manhunt through London, ending at the foot of Big Ben.

About me: Spring-heeled Jack is an entity in English folklore of the Victorian era. Beginning in 1837, citizens began reporting sightings of a figure who could seem to leap across entire streets in one bound and over ten foot hedges with scary speed and precision. Dressed in black and often taking on demonic features, Spring Heeled Jackโs eyes glowed like red fire and was often seen breathing blue flames through his mouth.
Spring Heeled Jack is the demonic halfblood offspring of Asmodeus, who sought to become a full blooded demon, and take his father's place as a crown prince in Hell. In 1948 he established a mercenary group called The Oktobermen, specializing in occult and supernatural dealings. He was on a quest to consume souls before he was captured in 1951, after being betrayed by two members of The Oktobermen. After being taken into custody by MI:5, Jack was forced to serve as part of their supernatural investigations. After a good three decades, Jack gave into his fate, and began willing service for Queen and Country, becoming a top, and most secret, agent for the supernatural devisions of MI18
