====Lincolnshire==== In the autumn of 1877, Spring-heeled Jack was reportedly seen at [[Newport Arch]], in [[Lincoln, England|Lincoln]], [[Lincolnshire]], wearing a sheep skin. An angry mob supposedly chased him and cornered him, and just as in Aldershot a while before, residents fired at him to no effect. As usual, he was said to have made use of his leaping abilities to lose the crowd and disappear once again.<ref>Illustrated Police News, 3 November 1877, cited in "Fortean Studies volume 3" (1996), pp. 96, ed.
