am i too late for this investigation? i found some information about it,
So.....who was Jack the Ripper?
Over the years since that ill-fated November in 1888 the media has periodically resurrected interest in this most infamous of characters.............Jack The Ripper.
Films have been made, books have been published, newspapers have been sold.............people have talked about and debated who really perpetrated these vicious and heinous crimes over 100 years ago.
In recent years......the press in the UK and indeed the world over waited with baited breath for the release of "official UK government" archives which were originally marked "Secret..not to be opened until 1988"...............only to find that no further clues were forthcoming, and some information had mysteriously gone missing!
The truth is that we are nowhere near finding out who the culprit was than we were in 1888, perhaps we shall never know the truth.
One thing is for certain though............the Jack the Ripper tale has lived for over 100 years and many newspapers/filmakers/writers etc have made a lot of money out of the ghost of Jack The Ripper.
You too can now pick up the trail of where the murders were committed when you are next in London, England...............and *feel* the presence of Jack by visiting the sites where the murders were committed..........try a guided walk with The Original London Walks company who run daily "Jack the Ripper Haunts" from Tower Hill Tube Station at 7:30 pm each day.
The resident guide will take you on a 2 hours walk and evoke that autumn of gaslight and fog, of menacing shadows and stealthy footsteps as you inspect the murder sites, sift through the evidence.....and get to grips with the subject. En route you will also be able to steady your nerves with a drink at the "Ten Bells" or "Jack the Ripper" Public Houses as you try and forget the evil of Jack The Ripper!
