The "Curse of Mitre Square" was an early attempt to explain the murders in an occult frame...

Or was the tree (disguised in a top hat etc etc) moving in front of Jack???

ODD things trees- see the East End pics thread for evidence!!!!

Hi Suzi,
there are more odd things to come. The man Welté, aka Puff of Smoke, annouces on his website that he will soon complete a 3 volumes saga about vampires, and will also travel Europe on the trail of E Bathory.
Of whom we can expect an interview and some photos.

Amitiés,
David

I would have thought he would have found E. Bathory in.....Bath!
Gedit? Gedit? Sigh!

Mike,
you're too kind to give him such a clue.

Amitiés,
David
