Um, hey, right...

More About Springheeled Jack

Jack was first spotted in London in 1837 and terrorized the city for 67 years. He would usually attack young women, ripping their clothes off with his clawed hands and spitting blue fire in their faces. He was about 6 feet tall, spindly, and wore a tight white bodysuit and a metal helmet, and sometimes a cape. He had pointy ears and glowing red eyes. The most poigniant thing that haunted more of his victims was his really crazy, ringing laugh.

He was called Springheeled Jack because he easily evaded police by leaping away. Germans tried mimicing this in WW2 by putting springs in the boots of their soldiers to see if they could get the same effect but all it did was break their shins ^-^;;;

In 2001, a similar creature terrorized India, but was called "Monkeyman". He too could leap around (which is why they called him monkeyman), had claws, and glowing red eyes.

In both London and India, he caused complete hysteria. In London people barracaded themselves into their houses and in India they kept their children home from school.

Gimme a break, my brain is dead at the moment. I need more freaking sleep!

Took Kim up to Gaeta today and on the way back almost fell asleep while driving 80 mph. Not a good thing. At least I woke up in time to miss rear ending the car in front of me. I'm so looking forward to bed time tonight. Both the boys and mine. Once John heads to his night class, that's it. You may as well stick a fork in me, I'm done for the day. Just goes to show you, NAPS ARE GOOD!
