Extra History
📚 Extra History Fans, please enjoy our latest Episode 24 hours early!
In this episode, we step into something stranger. A devil-faced figure leaping across rooftops with clawed hands and fire-breathing attacks. He was a shadowy prowler who may have helped inspire later masked vigilantes, Spring-heeled Jack, the so-called Terror of London!
Was he a real attacker, a mass hallucination, a media fabrication, or the perfect storm of rumor and print sensationalism? Find out today!
Did we get something wrong in our "Victorian Horrors" series? Is there a particular character you want to hear more about? Feel free to ask our Extra History writer, Rob, HERE: forms.gle/mZJXLizs3VXczxyM7 and get a shout-out in our Extra Context Episode!
