Some background information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-heeled_Jack
Through conversations with a certain family member, I found that my grandfather (died before I was born) actually witnessed this creature (?). From the information I was given, he saw Springheeled Jack in Birmingham, UK in the 1960s. It leapt over a wall, and its clothes were sparking, or flicking all over. There has been many encounters of this elusive entity. One report from Unknown Creatures website stated the following:
"2005 has brought us new reports of Springheel Jack. Police have had hundreds of reports of a creature, who is described as the same being that attacked England residents back in 1837. Witnesses say the being is entirely clad in black and wears a balaclava; he also wears a cape and his eyes shine red. The creature is able to cross the streets by leaping from one rooftop to the next, taking acrobatic leaps that can be of up to five meters high and ten meters long."

Is this an ET or a earth spirit? Is it related to the Mothman encounters, which have also appeared all over the world?
