Jack the Ripper 1 to 10



There's another new post from me at EHow too, this one on the many and varied theories for who Jack the Ripper might have been.

You can find the article here, and it begins like this:

"In 1888, he roamed the shadowy and foggy back-streets of Whitechapel, London by night, violently slaughtering prostitutes, and provoking terror throughout the capital. He was the world's most infamous serial-killer. He was, in case you haven't by now guessed, Jack the Ripper. But, what makes the Ripper so infamous more than a century after his terrible crimes were committed is that his identity still remains a mystery. And everyone loves a mystery. So, who might Jack have been? The theories are almost endless and include a surgeon, a doctor, a poet, and even a member of the British Royal Family!"

  1. Here's a theory I'll bet you've never heard before, Nick: Could Jack the Ripper have been under demonic possession? What do you think?

  2. Well, some people have made links suggesting a paranormal connection - such as a Springheel Jack connection. I doubt we'll ever really know the truth though!

  3. Demonic posession!!!! Judging by the bare bones of the case and not the inconsistencies, it would seem that there was not just one person at work. The trouble is, over the years due to so many silly theories and hundreds of books and suspects the case has become redundant and completely clouded. I think Kyle's 'possession' theory is just another that clouds the waters even further.
