when i was little and my parents were driving id pretend there was a man/being/thing running alongside the car who had to follow certain rules like “he can only travel by jumping from streetlight to streetlight” or “he can only walk on fences”

i was so surprised to find out that other people did similar things

i wonder what the underlying psychology behind it is

like its a really specific thing to do but almost everyone did it without telling other kids about it because we all thought it was probably weird or unimportant

this would make a good creepypasta

It already is an urban legend, quite an old one too, from the 1800’s. OP pretty much described Spring-heeled Jack, I’d wager that they made up the story based on it. Drawing is more a contemporary scary than his original description though.

But that’s not really the underlying spookiness of the story. A guy that can jump a lot isn’t scary, the idea that so many kids imagined this sort of thing, some sort of creature running alongside a car with similar rules is the unnerving part.

i mean, it was never scary to imagine it as kids. usually i imagined some sort of cat weaving through the oncoming cars or running along the fences, but i don’t remember any other kid telling me about it i just started imagining it one day out of boredom. then it just stopped when i grew up, and i hear about so many other people saying the same things. why is it so similar for so many kids? that’s what i find spooky, not so much the idea of the “monster” itself.

OP didn’t make up the story based on spring heeled jack, they drew something that they legit imagined as a kid, and for some reason so did everyone else
