In 1837 a person (or creature) was sighted in suburban London. Details were sketchy, but all accounts had one thing in common, this entity was able to leap great distances.
His descriptions varied from having glowing red eyes, metallic claws, and the ability to breath fire. Some say he was a spectre, while others say he was a demon, a muscular man of devilish features, or at the very least a man wearing a demonic helmet. He also wore a dark swirling cape and a skintight white costume resembling oilskin.
The first recorded description of this particular character was formulated as “devil-like” by Polly Adams, who was attacked while walking across Blackheath in south London. (October, 1837)
