Heres a few points to ponder:
Just noticed this little thing in the page
“Investigators discovered 2 footprints 3 inches deep. The depth of the prints seemed to suggest some type of ‘spring’ mechanism in the shoes. Note: A spring apparatus was tested by the Germans during the war and resulted in a 85%
failure rate (the men broke their ankles).”
Notice how A meaning 1 is in there? It’s like trying to put a man in space using only a watermelon and a harmonica.
Perhaps Springy Jack used a different design.
Duke? Nope, it was the butler!
“It was during this time that the great Duke of Wellington, who was now 70 years old, joined in the search. Some sources indicate that the Duke may have had several close encounters with Spring Heeled Jack. Unfortunately, Spring Heeled Jack was never found and in fact, intensified his attacks during the following months.”
Perhaps the Duke was Springy Jack? He’d know when and where the posse would be, and of course he had met Jack or he could just be crazy.
Albino Jack?
“He wore a large helmet and a sort of tight-fitting costume that felt like oilskin. But the cape was just like the ones worn by the policemen. His hands were as cold as ice and like powerful claws. But the most frightening thing about him was his eyes. They shone like balls of fire.”
The police statement points that his eyes must be a brighter colour, therefore being either Red/Yellow/Orange. In my experience the only colour that would have been around then would be Red, that would account for a loss of pigment in the eyes. Could Jack be an albino?
“Spring Heeled Jack had an embroidered letter ‘W’ on his shirt. Similar to a coat of arms, the Gold ‘W’ seemed to indicate someone of royalty.”
More evidence that would show Duke might be the culprit.
“The sentry fired at the intruder and claimed that bullets did not affect him”
Guns we’re at par in accuracy with todays rifles. If the sentry was blinded, how could he possibly shoot with any accuracy at that?
“they rushed to the point where he had landed (behind some houses) only to find a helmeted man, clothed in white, standing there waiting.”
Wasn’t Jack wearing a black cloak, or was that after labour day?
