The Ten Bells

[j.r-ahde]

Hello Adam!

I did visit The Ten Bells about two years ago, but at daytime too!

Just couldn't resist this game, sorry;

Does anyone find any resemblence to the vics and the girls in the photo?!

All the best

(PS. I hope, that I didn't start another haunting story... )

Well - as Alan Moore says in the "From Hell" novel - "The ***** dance - the same ***** dance thats been going on for thousands of years".....or words to that effect - namely women are women and men are men - not much changes as we move through time towards divinity with technology - the same base human desires and blood lusts persist - no matter how far forward we go - we are all still human - and women will always be targets for sex murders.......as sad as that is.

The Market Trader (now The Bell) is a good one. A nice mixture of 'down to earth' folk, trendy or otherwise. The other pub you mention is the 'Duke of Wellington'. That seems to be a proper locals pub, that.

Thanks Jon, never been in the Wellie,will try that next time. Went in the Bell years ago,bit like the slaughtered lamb in American Werewolf.Didnt Francis Coles drink there?

Video: Haunted Ten Bells, "Ghost of Whitechapel"

Hi, guys

I found this video you might like; it has a segment about the hauntings at the Ten Bells in the beginning, then Don Rumbelow shows off his 'Ripper' knife in Buck's Row & Paul Begg discusses Liz Stride's murder. It's older (early 90's) but quite enjoyable.

That's a top find, Archaic, many thanks for posting the link. A nice bit of old(ish) Ripper media.

Even though the creepy dank cellars of the Ten Bells are now the toilets, they haven't changed a bit!

You're very welcome, John; glad you enjoyed it. I was actually surprised that it was so good, there are so many hokey videos on YouTube these days.

Thought it was pretty cool to get such a good view of Don's knife, too.

Regards, Archaic

Great find Archaic but what a load of codswallop.
Typical jazzed up rubbish..the ghost of Liz Stride haunts the Ten bells ?

Well, somebody has to do it...

Neat clip that--thanks for sharing.
I couldn't stand the constant cutting back & forth in the video, particularly the first half, but what a treat to see Paul Begg! And Mr. Rumbelow with his knife.

Did you notice that the announcer says "Eric" Kosminski rather than Aaron at the end? I swear he does. Well--typical!

Damn straight. There were several evenings in the late '70s when I had to do it virtually all by myself.

Hi, GM. Then maybe you should watch the short YouTube clip of the man drinking Absinthe at the Ten Bells... i wonder if he ever returned to his body & went home???

I like the name of the medium: Marion Dampier-Jeans.

If I was in the Ten Bells at night and heard paranormal activity, Dampier Jeans is probably what I would have.

[j.r-ahde]

Hello you all!

Well, John, I did notice the dampier jeans too!

But if the ghost really was Liz, then she had grown three inches smaller (if I heard right! )

Since at least to my ears the ghost was 5'2", while according to the victim info on our site Long Liz was 5'5" !

The same problem as always with these allegations; if Long Liz wants to give clues about the murder, why does she scare the customers?! Is that her spirit's past-mortem sense of humour?!

All the best

Hi all,
Just chipping in my two pennorth.
In the '80s I worked 1/2 mile away and usually popped in for one at lunchtime
or on the way home.
About midday, in I goes to find the tv set up in the middle of the floor and
with a crowd around it all paying avid attention.
Within a couple of minutes on comes a five minute documentary about the
pub, including video taken inside.
Quite surreal watching a programme and then glancing aside the tv to see
exactly the same thing (the wall mural) in real life.

Gary.
PS the manager at the time, a canadian, told me exactly what other posters
have said "it was a s_ _thole then and it's a s_ _thole now".
