BL3295645: Spring-heeled Jack, the terror of London. "Sir Roland," said Spring-heeled Jack, this is a merry night for us to meet." Spring-heeled Jack is an entity in English folklore of the Victorian era who was known for his startling hops. He was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy, clawed hands, and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". / Bridgeman Images
