The Return of Jack skipjack
February 1837 nothing special stands out in the British capital, but for one event, which literally shook the whole of London. As the evening sedately strolling citizens were frightened to death strange creature that moves on the huge leaps through the city streets, jumping over the heads of stunned bystanders. If this were a regular joker, then everything would be much easier, but the fact of the matter is that the appearance of this jumper completely ruled out any rally.

Sparkling, literally burning in the dark, round red eye monster is induced such terror that young and old Englishwoman, as heaps, and fainted, and men have lost the power of speech and only frantically clutching his cane. True, Jack hoppers - so this is a terrible creature called the citizens - no one touched and swept a huge leaps through the streets, spreading panic and terror. First, the police did not take seriously reports of hoppers, but soon saw the monster police officer. He was so shocked monster jump through a gate height of about four meters, which only spread his hands and kept repeating, "It's incredible ..."

Three nights in 1837, Jack skipjack terrorized residents of London, taking the highest of walls and easily evade pursuit. Then he disappeared for a while, and after a year in Bow attacked Jane Ellsop. The woman then described the formless, with glowing red eyes, it suddenly appeared in front of her, and a huge leap leaping over her head, killed off.

In this case, it is difficult to talk about the attack - Jack skipjack or robbed Jane Ellsop not bitten ... just one occurrence of this terrible creature was enough for this overly impressionable ladies, yelling to the whole world about the terrible attack monster.

Skipjack not rest. From 1850 to 1860 he occasionally appeared in many towns of southern England and brought before the authorities by their antics, that the Mayor of London is officially a reward for Jack skipjack, dead or alive. Journalists vied printed in newspapers and more new eyewitness, meet Frankenstein's monster, and the monster called "enemy number one."

Thousands of people, armed with anything, took to the streets and hunted the elusive jumper. Jack skipjack was described as a man with glowing red eyes and icy hands, able to run with no place to jump over an obstacle height of four to five meters.

So much so, that in places where most met the monster began to set traps and snares, whose victims are harmless cat. Double monster still managed to corner. The first time it fired several bullets, but a monster with evil laughter leaped at an incredible height and moved away from his pursuers, and, despite the obvious hit of bullets, blood traces found it was not possible.

After a few months in Newport skipjack fired again, and again to no avail. It seemed like it there is a conspiracy of conventional bullets, some seriously argued that Jack skipjack is the devil incarnate, and offered to atone for sins and shed for a monster silver bullets.

In 1877, there was a monster like the last time, and seemed gone out of life, along with the British XIX century. But in 1904 Jack skipjack back! September 10, 1904 police were summoned to a district of Liverpool, where a crowd of open-mouthed watching this circus, which was held on the roofs of surrounding houses.

This time Jack hoppers broke all the old records, he quietly jumped from roof to roof spaced houses on ten - twelve meters ... Stunned citizens, many of whom were unaware of the existence in the past of the jumping monster, watched with bated breath as being something like a human with animal grace swept high above their heads. Women were screaming with fear, someone demanded skipjack down immediately and stop the terrible jumping.

However, the monster is not to react to what is happening at the bottom: it seemed that he was just enjoying his exuberant energy and frolicked on the roofs, as tomcat ... The last comparison is quite competent, because before his final disappearance hoppers got Cat's on all four limbs (legs? ) and a giant leap disappeared into obscurity. Since Jack hoppers never seen again.

Over time, some researchers have even questioned its real existence in those early years, suggesting that a mass hysteria generated in the minds of the British elusive monster ... However, a great number of witnesses, among whom were not only susceptible women, but also the police and the military, not treats the phenomenon of Jack hoppers with such disarming simplicity. Where are all the same did this monster?

Put forward a lot of all versions. One of them - the skipjack was still a man with a unique physical ability to jump, a kind of joker who enjoyed scaring women.

This version breaks down when you remember that the monster scare the British for nearly seventy years - no man could not keep such a perfect fit in an already advanced age. True, the hoppers are working with street robbers, they wore long white robes, fastened to the legs and springs, high bouncing frighten impressionable young girls, robbing them to the skin, but their activities are unrelated to the English was obviously not a monster.

The most popular version of recent years: Jack skipjack was an alien from another planet ... However, if you think well, such a crazy stranger might just escape from the galactic kakogonibud nsihdoma ... fly to the Earth, with bulging eyes to jump on the roofs of houses, it is, sorry, too difficult to understand. But if you imagine that the aliens escaped some pet like our cat, then everything will fall into place.

If hoppers appeared in our time, certainly would push the assumption that this monster is the result of clandestine experiments of modern genetics.

Since the famous Jack skipjack in time come into contact with people, and they feel it as a real physical object, then all sorts of theories about its origin from the spirit world clearly are without any foundation, as most probable hypothesis is that Jack got hoppers to our world from another dimension. Our planet is not a single case of a variety of monsters, which then suddenly disappeared without a trace, although he had left the very real evidence of their presence.

It seems that in old England of "holes" in another dimension far more than in any other place on Earth, and that's climbs are evil spirits, scaring decent English ...
