Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An urban legend, urban myth, urban tale, or a contemporary legend, is a form of modern folklore consisting of apocryphal stories believed by their tellers to be true. As with all folklore and mythology, the designation suggests nothing about the story's factuality or falsehood, but merely that it is in non-institutional circulation, exhibits variation over time, and carries some significance that motivates the community in preserving and propagating it. The book takes a look at the legend around the Spring Heeled Jack and the evolution of the story throughout the years in England.
