Jack the Ripper.


Yer, Jack the Ripper.
So here's some information on this unidentified serial killer from the UK.

"Jack the Ripper" is the best-known name given to an unidentified serial killer who was active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name originated in a letter, written by "someone" claiming to be the murderer. (o_o)

Other nickies used for Jack were "The Whitechapel Murderer" and "Leather Apron". Attacks by him typically involved female prostitutes from the slums whose throats were cut prior to abdominal mutilations.
The removing of internal organs from at least 3 victims led to the truth that Jack had surgical knowledge or something. You don't just slash wherever you want, right? LOL. Rumors that the murders were connected intensified in September and October 1888, and some letters from writers claimin' to be the Jack were received by media outlets and Scotland Yard.


The "From Hell" letter, received by George Lusk of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, included half of a preserved human kidney from one of the victims. Because of the extraordinarily brutal character of the murders, the public came to believe in a single serial killer known as "Jack the Ripper", as mentioned earlier. :)


It reads: From Hell
Mr Lusk,
Sor
I send you half the Kidne I took from one women prasarved it for you tother piece I fried and ate it was very nise. I may send you the bloody knif that took it out if you only wate a whil longer Signed
Catch me when you can Mishter Lusk (Sounds creepy doesn't it :S)


Another letter, the "Dear Boss" letter. It reads: Dear Boss,
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits.

I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games.

I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight. My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance.
Good Luck.
Yours truly
Jack the Ripper
Dont mind me giving the trade name
PS Wasnt good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it No luck yet. They say I'm a doctor now. ha ha
(Sounds even creepier, Idk why his English was like crap in the first letter. LMAO.)

An investigation into a series of brutal killings in Whitechapel up to 1891 was unable to connect all the killings conclusively to the murders of 1888, but the legend of Jack solidified. As the murders were never solved, the legends surrounding them became a combination of genuine historical research, folklore, and pseudohistory. (Pseudo is equivalent to fake. :D)
