Jack the Ripper hauntings

[Abby Normal]

didnt patricia cornwell write in her last ripper book that she was being haunted by the ghost of the ripper? lol

Randi wasn't out to disprove all paranormal activity as such, more the shameless charlatans profiting from deception.

Even if we get in contact with the spirits of the dead involved in the case, we'd still argue about their statements.

Not me of course Al

I haven’t seen that one Eten. I’m not a believer but one of my heroes, Conan Doyle was utterly convinced. Wasted far too much time when he could have been writing more Holmes stories imo.

I'm not a believer either, but science is finding new answers all the time.

Have you seen the film 'Red Lights' starring Sigourney Weaver, Robert DeNiro and Cillian Murphy (Sigourney Weaver playing a James Randi type role). I think you might enjoy it.

It is true there is no known evidence that supports psychic phenomena and ghosts as the spirits of the dead, although images of people that are deceased are commonplace. Whether or not there is a natural way of 'videos' of the dead occurring that can be seen in certain circumstances is unknown, but it may be just be we do not understand how that works at present. Of course, tricks of the brain is the more common explanation.



I have read this book. I found it completely unconvincing.

Apart from the Pamela Ball book I’m sure that there was another ‘psychic’ Ripper book unless I’m mis-remembering?

There was a poster on here a few months ago trying to convince us that the spirit of Prince Eddie had confessed to him. He’s now banned but I can’t recall his name.

JohnWest, have you read "The Search For Jack the Ripper - A Psychic Investigation" by Pamela Ball? If so, what are your thoughts?

I got this book in a small bundle of Ripper books from eBay a few months ago. I haven't read it yet as I assumed it would be dire... which is, I know, bad of me. So I would also like to know more, because I could well be wrong and it will be a great read (I have been wrong plenty of times before, hehe).

Psychic News is a good read if your psychic, but nothing comes as a surprise!

I write regularly for Psychic News magazine and had a book published in December of last year called Britain's Haunted Heritage. The final chapter concerns the ghost stories connected with the Ripper murder sites. Stewart P. Evans kindly provided me with some illustrations for the chapter. The book is on Amazon. The publisher is JMD Media - https://www.jmdmedia.co.uk/collectio...unted-heritage.
