In this episode, Haunted Up North investigates the legend of Spring-heeled Jack, a monstrous figure who plagued Victorian England, breathing blue fire and leaping incredible distances. From the cobbled streets of London to the looming moors of Yorkshire, reports of this clawed fiend sent shivers down the spines of all he encountered. But who was Spring-heeled Jack? Was he a figment of mass hysteria, a cunning hoaxer, or something altogether more... unnatural?
