5.22 | Spring-Heeled Jack - Terror of London

In the fog-filled alleys of Victorian London, amidst the suit-stained brick, the light of gas lamps flicker, haunting the night with shadows, creating phantoms dark as pitch. By 1838, rumors of ghosts and devils reported in villages beyond the bustling city have now breached London, and the alleys team with whispers of “Spring Heeled Jack”. With red eyes and breath of blue flame, he tears at his victims with claws of iron, before vanishing into the night. And nearly two centuries later, the mystery remains unsolved! Join us as we comb through the history, and attempt to separate the fake from folklore, to uncover the reality behind London’s first real Urban Legend, Spring-Heeled Jack. 🔥 Get Expansion Episodes: 5.22 EXP | Past Life Regression & Prebirth Memory https://expansion.beliefhole.com/5-22-exp-past-life-regression-prebirth-memory/ 📚Full Show Notes: https://beliefhole.com/5-22-spring-heeled-jack-suburban-phantom-of-victorian-london 👻 Sponsor | Hello Fresh 🥗 Go to HelloFresh.com/beliefholefree and use code beliefholefree for FREE breakfast for life!

Attempting to parse out the facts within folklore, the brothers of the Hole banter about everything from bizarre historical mysteries to emerging clandestine conspiracy theories, often challenging their own beliefs and sometimes each other's sanity. Good humor, good drinks, and good discussion! Have you ever overheard a co-worker shakily tell his story of a real encounter with a Dogman?
