Do you think this character was real or simply made up?
Springheeled Jack is the most intriguing character I’ve studied to date. I’m looking to further my work/study on him so any comments/information is greatly appreciated. Thanks! I look forward to your comments.

every myth has come from some kind of true story passed down generations for hundreds of years sometimes. the steps are truth, history, and eventually myth. there might be something out there. good luck.

I so love him! He's a myth, I do believe.And if he is real, people have exaggerated his abilities. But the story about him was in a big book my mom had. I read that thing over and over.

"he was wearing a kind of helmet, and a tight fitting white costume like an oilskin. His face was hideous; his eyes were like balls of fire. His hands had claws of some metallic substance, and he vomited blue and white flames."

Sounds cool as hell to me, lol.

This site has a lot of info on him: http://anomalyinfo.com/articles/ga00002.shtml

I always thought the legend was rather strange. I think that I was probably just some freak who went around attacking women. However, one never knows.

Hes appeared in too many places and too many cultures not to be real

I think he's real, because he appears in so many cultures, but as someone said maybe his abilities were exagerated...

I don't know if he was real or not, but I know you could wear his boots in either Morrowind or Oblivion. Awesome!
