It is said that in 1845 Spring Heeled Jack was seen at Jacob’s Island, Bermondsey, a disease ridden slum of decaying houses linked by wooden bridges across stinking ditches.
Jack was said to have cornered a 13 year old prostitute named Maria Davis on a bridge over Folly Ditch. He threw her into the stinking, muddy filth below. The girl screamed horribly as the slimy waters consumed her. Police dragged the ditch and found the poor girl’s body. The verdict was one of death by misadventure, but the inhabitants of the area branded Jack as the murderer.
