Although a great deal of the original contemporary documents & files have now been lost, those that remain are here examined to see what they tell us about the thoughts of those investigating the crimes at the time. It follows the murders chronologically with a great deal of cross-referencing to provide an objective look at the killings. This is not a seamless narrative of the crime that reads like a novel.

#Characters2017 #day16 #EvilPersonified Jack the Ripper was certainly evil personified in the Eat End of London in the late 1880s. Butchering five women and leaving their disfigured bodies in the street or in the case of Mary Kelly, in her boarding room. What was more terrifying is the fact he was never identified & never caught. Many theories have sprung up over the years but nothing has ever been proven. If what he did is not evil, what is?

#octphotochallenge #day24 #classicmoviemonster I was planning on doing Dracula or Frankenstein for this one but my new copies,to replace my stolen ones, haven't come yet so I'm going with Jack The Ripper. He's very much a classic monster, even though he was human his actions were monstrous. The fact that it's 128yrs later & we still don't know who he was just makes him scarier. There's been some great movie versions of him.#giveascarybook
