Welcome to Episode 127: The Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack! Victorian England was an exciting time of progress and growth, but you can’t have growth without a few growing pains. By 1825, London was declared the largest city in the world, and its infrastructure struggled to keep up with the boom in industry and immigration. As London scrambled to find solutions to pressing issues such as housing, plumbing, and transportation, the newly formed London Metropolitan Police Force grappled with the issue of rising crime. We all know the story of Jack The Ripper, the notorious serial killer who preyed on Victorian sex workers, but before he could rear his ugly head in 1888, a different Jack was busy terrorizing the streets of London. Beginning his reign of terror in 1837 and, according to some, lurking on Britain’s darkened streets and rooftops still today, this Jack would come to be known as: Spring-Heeled Jack. Come with us on a journey as we explore the story that would eventually be dubbed “The Victorian Era’s First Urban Legend”.
