Open research question
Trace the earliest surviving documentary sources for major Spring-Heeled Jack reports, including the late-1837 London scare, the January and February 1838 incidents, later provincial sightings, and the reported 1904 Everton outbreak.
A source, research note, or further-reading link closes this question when staff accept it. Evidence and corrections stay attached for staff and do not close it by themselves.
Staff review every contribution before it is added to the file. A correction is a proposal: accepting it does not replace the official record. Rejected items are handled like rejected case submissions.
