A peculiar report from "The Brighton Gazette", which appeared in the 14 April 1838 edition of "The Times", related how a gardener in Rosehill, Sussex, had been terrified by a creature of unknown nature. "The Times" wrote that "Spring-heeled Jack has, it seems, found his way to the Sussex coast", even though the report bore little resemblance to other accounts of Jack. The incident occurred on 13 April, when it appeared to a gardener "in the shape of a bear or some other four-footed animal". Having attracted the gardener's attention by a growl, it then climbed the garden wall and ran along it on all fours, before jumping down and chasing the gardener for some time. After terrifying the gardener, the apparition scaled the wall and made its exit.
