Your paranormal experiences at the murder sites?

I wonder if Jack himself (and not just his victims) haunt the sites.

Podcast Episode?

Have any of you had any paranormal experiences at any of the murder sites, C5 and non C5? As a paranormal investigator I find it fascinating that some of the sites are haunted, especially Durward Street, where I caught an E.V.P.

The best!

Hi, I believe a couple weeks ago I saw on this site a request for ideas for Ripper Podcast episodes. I meant to suggest the subject of murder site hauntings but never got around to it. You might want to suggest that to menges. Thanks!

Doubt it. If they did, you would hear a lot of arguing.

Fakery is too easy an explanation for paranormal phenomona. As soon as a sceptic is backed into the corner, the old "its fakery" comes out.

Fakery comes out because it is the explanation. It's easy because it's the truth. Any one of these EVPs can be recreated. Why is it that the ones on Ghost Hunters and other shows are clearer than what the average Joe can conjure up on an amateur ghost hunt? Better equipment? Nah. Selling advertisement and TV ratings? Oh Yeah. I don't care if people believe in faeries, pookahs, chupacabra, or ghosts. Just put superstition in Pub Talk and I'm okay with it.

Cheers,

Mike

Point taken.

I would've thought he'd haunt the murder sites more so than the victims in a sick sense to relive his crimes. Unless the victims are somehow trapped at the place of their deaths, I can't see logically why they'd want to hang around there for all eternity when they could go and haunt a pub or shuffle off to the other side or something.

And those work out ads on the side of this window are wrongly amusing in advertising how to get 'ripped' in so many weeks. o_O

EVP and so forth is a load of old crap, but aren't there tales of odd happenings in the offices of the brewery which is/was on the site of 29 Hanbury Street?

Maybe George Hutchinson has some further word on this.

The very first time I toured the East End JtR sites (early 1970's) I was stood in Durward Street contemplating the gateway, when some rough-looking old geezer sidled up to me and gave me his take on how the Ripper did for his victims, blood pouring down the gutter, etc., and that was a damn siight more scary for little me than any possibility of paranormal phenomena...

There are reports many years ago, when the original 29 Hanbury Street remained, that a man would walk upto the doorway of 29 with a woman and then simply vanish. This was assumed to be a "replay" apparition of Jack and Chapman.

Also Chapman is believed to haunt the brewery and Durward Street is scene to a female spirit believed to be Nichols.

Over in Mitre Square a crumpled body has been spotted in "Ripper's Corner" and is believed to be Eddowes.

I have no idea if there are reports of hauntings at the Stride and Kelly murder sites.

The following photograph was taken at the site of Catherine Eddowes murder. Notice the red area obscuring part of the man's face. I have blown this photograph up and the man's features are obliterated where the red mask covers his face. The area covered by the red mask on the man's face seem to mirror Catherine Eddowes injuries. Trick of the light? I think so.

Real or not that is creepy!

[Observer]

Hi Uncle Jack

If the red area was a shadow I'd expect the man's features to be visible though the shadow, this is not the case, as I said his nose and part of the upper lip is gone. I forgot to mention that his hands are covered in what appear to be large boils.

Below is the full sized original photograph, and I do realise that he's pointing to the wrong spot regarding where Catherine Eddowes actually lay.

Definitely a trick of the light, given that the nearest light is above and slightly to the rear.

But still, spooky stuff!

if ghosts, evps, psychics, and seances are real, then why has no one solve this case yet?

I have seen "ghost hunters" a couple times and it is one of the dumbest things I've ever watched.


on the other hand, I watching one of those crime tv shows one night and they were talking about someone who had gone missing from their apartment. they had exhausted all leads. so on a whim, the sheriff calls this psychic lady. she tells them how the person disappeared, where their body would be found, and who killed them. they got an arrest and conviction as all her info was correct. the sheriff himself was on the show and said he would not have solved the case without her. now THAT lady, I'd like to have look at the Ripper case.

[The Good Michael]

Ponti,

The woman you mentioned probably used common sense after studying the case. Detectives would most certainly want to chalk it up to psychic power rather than thinking about being bested by an amateur sleuth.

Cheers,
