Victoria in England, an age of great industry, enlightenment, of learning and of advancement.

Equally it was the age of spiritualism, parasycology and restrictive social practices. In the chaotic streets of the suburbs of London, the first

Victorian urban legend was waiting to be born, beating out Sweeney Todd by a full nine years. Spring Hill Jack brewed in the fears of an uncertain

populace and burst onto the scene, Metal Claw and All. He stirred a sensation

that was far too right for anyone to ignore.

His was a legend that was overshadowed by only one other when in 1888 Jack Ripper scribbled

his name in blood on the back of a postcard. This is dark histories,

but the facts are worse than fiction.

Hello. Hello and welcome season two of Dark History's episode I don't even know I think
