I never understood what Jack the Ripper meant by "that joke about leather apron gave me real fits" until I learned that there was a guy who lived in the area, a bootmaker named John Pizer and nicknamed "Leather Apron" who was reported to have threatened several prostitutes and was being considered as a suspect for the murders. He was arrested, but had alibis for all the murders up till then. So basically in his letter Jack the Ripper was saying "you thought it was *that* guy?! Lol"
There's no proof the killer wrote a single letter. The police at the time believed it was a journalist. Most people who are passionate about the case today believe it was a hoax.
Fun fact: During the Jack the Ripper incidents, there was a play about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde going on. Apparently the lead actor, Richard Mansfield, was so convincing that many people believed he was Jack the Ripper.

"Buzfeed unsolved solved a murder" or something around that context. Everybody please bring this to the top let the boys see this!
Another fact to take into account was at 11:51 he states Jack the Ripper sent a letter to the post office before it got in papers and became public and the police were the only people who knew that it occurred which can also be a clue that he was a police officer
Historians apparently believed the letter read very American, which is interesting. Another thought I had was that it could be a medical student who is using people he perceives won't be missed as practice subjects. It's hard to say, though, because the last victim was killed in her home where the most damage was done, but before it was hastily done within half an hour. The wombs apparently aren't easy to find, but they were removed. The lighting was bad at night because they didn't have electrical street lamps, so how could they so accurately cut the body to remove certain organs and why? Were they selling the organs? Eating them? What? I have so many questions.
@@elisatinsley5181 I agree about the killer being American... because I truly believe Jack the ripper was HH Holmes... he was believed to be in England at the time of the killings. plus he went to medical school and dissected most of his victims , so he would know how to remove organs.. this should have been a theory
Also!!! As a woman of a certain age in West Yorkshire- We had the same problem with newspapers & a misogynist police force ‘assuming’ that the majority of women were prostitutes! No!!! They were not! To begin with the bastard just picked on women that were easy to attack & then when he got confident, he took more risks & attacked any lonely, vulnerable woman!
@@Elly3981 which she probably was, men owned their wives back then so the women had no reason to really be out unless she was doing some shady stuff, i doubt women wanted to walk around the streets of Whitechapel at night it would’ve been a very dangerous place. I’m not trying to take a dig at the women either I’m just saying that she probably was a prostitute, there’s nothing wrong with that they had to do what they did to survive.
He couldn’t be a doctor. He said he was going to use the blood to write the next letter, but was frustrated that it coagulated and was useless, but a doctor would know the blood would clot.
Right. And the theory of him being a police officer or a police mortician, those would give him anatomical knowledge so he still should've known the blood would coagulate.
I mean he could be a shrewd individual who was purposefully including information in the letter to throw authorities off; aka he was lying. He also said he would clip one of the ears of the victims, but that didn't go down either
@@josiahteng6906 he didn’t get the ear because he ran out of time. It would never occur to a doctor to say “I’m gonna use the blood as ink” because they would know that it wouldn’t work. It’d be some 5d chess move to double bluff like that.
Well before the letters he was called red handkerchief becouse according to the police he used to strangle his victims wit that item (that explains why the victims crye's for help wern't heard).
What's interesting for me is how he always managed to get away right before the police came. He was certainly very familiar with the streets, maybe scouted them beforehand to know which dark alley would be a safe passage after the murder. I also think he could have been a "nobody" - a regular person whose name, as with most of us, went down into the darkness of passing time never to be discovered.
Theory: what if, Jack the Ripper was actually a cop and that’s how he was able to walk around doing things without getting caught because everyone around him just thought he was a normal cop. This would explain a lot of things besides the “Doctor” thing, But it is possible he was studying medicine and quit because he knew he wouldn’t go anywhere therefore he chose to become a cop instead.
It was bad. The photos were of her after she was cleaned up. However the crime scene photos were pretty bad. It's why the inspectors believed she was the target of his rage.
@@ToxicFireWolf00 I've seen what an M16 A3 does to a human skull at point blank range. I rate Eddows crime scene photos as worse. So either you're lying to try to sound smarter or more experience than anyone else. Or you've seen stuff that should have destroyed your mind and somehow didn't. I'm leaning towards the former as you didn't reference anything that might even come close.
They could’ve also looked at the color of the blood, as it gets darker when it clots. But there are a lot of factors to consider including the surface (blood clots quicker on a rough surface and oily surfaces make the blood clot slower than it would on a smooth or clean surface) Also when someone dies, their blood pressure tanks to zero and they stop bleeding which can help determine if they were stabbed to death and died quickly or if they were laying there bleeding for a while before they died.
After this episode I've seen some murmurs that maybe he was a police officer, which is how he was able to evade capture during the search, I personally love this theory as in the letters he keeps referring to the chief of police as "boss". Obviously there's no way to confirm this but I think its a neat idea to think about.
but it's slang.....like fam or blud or dude....ppl read way too much into the letters when they're likely not even from the Ripper. I mean the most iconic Ripper letter is a confirmed fake 😂
@Gamer_Wolf. Dude imagine if there was a movie like clue that had multiple endings. Screen 1 is Lusk, Screen 2 is Openshaw, Screen 3 is PC Neil, Screen 4 is Lechman. Just imagine!
True, but the thing with Marie Kellys room is that the door can be opened from the outside, by reaching through a window and unlocking the latch. This means any potential men that she had brought back whilst “working” would be able to regain access to her room at any given time. Which does throw doubt onto the theory
Also he would of known the other women because working girls at that time were like family they had to look out for each other plenty of motive for him to get rid of them to scare her out of that life
@@DevonHHunter if the motive is that he wanted to scare her, it’s weird to me that he would be so elaborate with the murders? why mutilate, remove organs etc? seems like overkill
@@someweirdstuff1256no the police commissioner, I believe, stated in his writings he definitely believed kosminski to be the one. However some of the facts he wrote about kosminski were wrong so its still tossed up
theory: he worked for the police which would explain why he knew all the police routes. he could’ve been a police mortician which would explain how he knew how to use the knife on a body
That is my own theory as well! Also, because a police morticians' word would have been valued by the authorities, he could have diverted the suspicions onto doctors and other people who had anatomical knowledge while at the same time using his position to make him 'one of the good guys'.
Especially because it was still crudely done bc morticians focus more on how a body looks sewn up so they would still need pretty good knowledge but didn't have great practice
@@Blitz-dm3kv I found out recently that it's not actually just bad or lazy handwriting, but it's difficult to read because it's a form of medical shorthand! I think it's pretty cool that as a collective we all just decided that doctors write badly but in reality they have like a secret writing system
The guy with murderous tendencies was said to have fantasies of murder as well, which im guessing is why it was tendencies rather than straight up he was a murderer
You can see Shane's eyes glimmer distantly at the idea of the puppet true crime/history shows and I like to imagine this is where The Professor was born.
Interestingly, a professor I once had told us that the police always knew it was Aaron Kosminski. He (my professor) claimed to have visited the Crime Museum of Scotland Yard, which is not open to the public and is only accessible by invitation. There he learned that Scotland Yard actually had solved the case: Aaron Kosminski had contracted syphilis from one of the local prostitutes, problem is, he couldn't remember which one. Worse, late stage syphilis can cause insanity, especially if not treated. They stipulate that he basically went on a rampage and killed any prostitute he thought could have been the one that passed him the syphilis. The reason they covered it up is interesting: Kosminski was a Polish Jewish immigrant and the police feared that if this was made to be public, there would be war on the streets with people harassing the Polish/Jewish neighbourhoods. So they covered it up, and the reason they continued to just let it play out as an unsolved case is simple enough: tourism revenue from people who are interested in the "Jack the Ripper" tales.
This is actually a really good theory. The Jack the Ripper killings stopped suddenly and most serial killers don't stopped unless they are stopped. If he was ill and passed away due to it that would explain why he just disappeared.
A not so fun fact: With Jack The Ripper, many believe that all women he killed were prostitutes, the real truth is that only one was but people are more bothered about the ripper himself rather than who the women were. This was caused by the Police's Death Certificates, which stated the women were all prostitutes. It's kinda sad that they just blow over their lives honestly but I'm sure that there's existing books on them! Enjoy this info! I love this kind of stuff so it's sort of like a memory check :D
I agree. It isn't a fun fact because it's not true. Literally all but one had records of prostitution. And I mean hard, verifiable records of prostitution. To deny Kelly and Stride especially being prostitutes is nonsense. It'd be like arguing 1+1 doesn't equal 2. Both have EXTENSIVE records of prostitution. The only one that's in question I Catherine Eddows but the rest definitely did have a history with prostitution
Dude there’s historical records verifying that most of these women were indeed prostitutes. They don’t just make these claims without bases of evidence.
@@sarahali1074 it's from a pretty well known vine were a guy sits on some stairs outside of a house and a girl walks by, talking with someone on the phone and proclaiming: "And they were roommates!", then the guy goes in an satirical stoic tone "oh my god they were roommates"
Interns at the asylum Kosminski stayed in have stated they believed him to be completely harmless and weren't even sure he could speak English, considering he only seemed to speak Yiddish.
visited London when I was 15 w my aunt and we took Jack the Ripper tour at night, walked to all these locations they did as well... definitely gave me the chills
The way that some people in these comments discuss the victims is horrible, particularly about post mortem pictures of these women, stating that these pictures "weren't that bad". Those women were victims and brutally murdered in horrific ways. Stop minimizing what happened to them in an attempt to make yourself sound 'edgier'.
It’s because these people don’t understand that what makes these pictures so horrible is that these were innocent people who were taken unfairly. You can look at a body all you want, but you won’t be hit by that weight until you see the person it once was. They just see a corpse, they don’t see the victim.
@@sam-ht6qv oh boo motherfucking hoo. No one is free of sin according to Christianity, and Christians acting all high and mighty doesn’t make it any easier for the people with real problems who have to make hard calls like turning to prostitution to survive. On top of that, sin does not make murder okay. The deaths of these women were still tragedies! Not to mention, several of them weren’t even actual prostitutes and were instead labeled as that incorrectly. It is people like you who make the idea of Christianity so unappealing to so many people. Next time you think you’re so high and mighty and above sin, think about how often you break the same rules you have decided all people must live by. You are not free of sin, because no one is, and being sinful does not make someone any less human, it does not make them any less deserving of respect, it does not make them any less deserving of a full and happy life. Your god frowns upon horrible wretches such as yourself.
I love the theory that Jack the Ripper was actually a woman and a midwife. It would explain the anatomical knowledge that the killer had of the female body, and it would also explain how she could move around freely and undetected. Because of the way society treated women in those days, with the whole "women can't do anything," it could be safe to assume that there were no female suspects because they believed that a woman could not carry out these murders. I think that this is a really interesting idea and hope that one day, they can prove it right. Edit: It would also be easier for her to kill these women. If she walked towards a woman at night, then the victim might not think much of it and it would be easier to get closer to them to kill fast and undetected.
@@s.s7337 yes, all witness sightings were male, and a number of other pieces of evidence points to a male. There is no evidence that points to a female, only speculation
Pizza it’s really weird that i’ve once fell in love with Jack the Ripper and i used to think that whoever he was living with was the luckiest person on earth. I might’ve been sick back then

@@magicalcrow6649 yes. Psychos are so obsessed and one-sighted that it almost becomes an unfortunate advantage. But he was absolutely in control; obviously. Masochism at its finest. The women's pain was giving him pleasure: CHRIST HELP US
There was a jew who recounted seeing the man with a victim, as well as a man, i cannot for the life of me remember his name- who spotted Marie Kelly with a man “she was familiar with” dressed like a man from middle/ upper class walking back to her domicile on the night she was murdered roughly ~4 hours before time of death. It was a man who pretended to enjoy prostitution to lure them out for financial gain before killing them
@@evanflowforever6615 You have no idea how those mental illnesses work 🤦♀️ most physocpaths and sociopaths live "normal" lives and aren't evil/killers/obsessed, and if anything it would be the SOCIOPATHS who are obsessed and one sighted. Psychopaths are generally more intelligent and easier to keep rage hidden.
To add to the cop theory, the ripper references “boss” in his letter, he knows these letters are going to the police almost like he is putting it in the open that he is a cop and is writing to his superior
I am definitely a believer of the cop theory, but "boss" was also a term of familiarity between friends at the time. He may have been attempting to express a cordialness as if he was on their level.
@@kazmierahammond2148 Yes. People who serial kill like this seem like they'd be proud of it and want to show off, and they consider themselves to be better than everyone else. A sociopath kinda thing. Could be either that he was just using "boss" in the way/s you described, I think. Maybe possible that he was being ironic and he actually was a cop himself, but idk how likely that is
Boss is a common nickname that people call their mates in the UK, esp London, so it was probably “jack” trying to be buddy buddy with the cops - loads of SKs see themselves as “friends” with the police, especially those who target sex workers (misogyny am I right)
I always had a weird feeling about the gingerbeer bottle sentence… wouldn’t MOST people know that blood congeals and wouldn’t be functional as an ink substitute? Let alone a doctor, butcher, midwife…
While that is definitely weird, it's not confirmed if the letters were actually from the killer, in which case the writer of the letters not knowing about the blood thickening makes sense.
@@krishashah3661it does make sense, however the intimate knowledge of the murders the MORNING AFTER points to it either being a deranged police officer OR the killer, or both. Theres no way anyone who hadnt seen or committed the crime would have such precise knowledge of the act
@@krishashah3661 however, it could just be a journalist who is paying a police officer for information to make their newspaper more prominent ya know there’s just no knowing
So... shane so far has: Laid on a pentagram. Threatened demons. Got a nosebleed in church. Says let murder be a "mystery" at the end of this episode lol
@Mykee queen he didn't have a nosebleed on camera but he told a story about the first time he went into a church, as soon as he entered the church, his nose started bleeding profusely
It’s sad that one of the reasons this case was left unsolved was because sex workers were not well respected and i imagine the police didnt really care about women living in the slums
Weird fact- it turns out most of the victims weren't sex workers, they were just women in a very misogynistic time period. It makes it sad that they still are called sex workers today :(
@@ellso1922 I discovered this recently as well. It’s sad how we forget that these were real women whose lives were taken from them prematurely and unjustly. I believe it was understood that it was somehow their fault that they were killed because they were sex workers.
Well yeah a lot of serial killers killed sex workers and the police didn’t do anything since the victim were sex workers look at the pickton farm Robert pickton mainly killed Native American prostitutes and the Canadian police did nothing since the victims were prostitutes
The one thing that definitely makes me think it wasn't actually a doctor is the way they commented in the letter about the blood getting too thick to write with. A doctor or a butcher would know that blood would thicken after being out of the body for a while. That is if the letters were actually written by the actual killer
The most terrifying monster that you could imagine. He was the head fry cook at The Krusty Krab when, one day, he accidentally chopped his hand off with a knife. To this day, he still has a spatula instead of his hand. There are a few signs to see when he is coming. The lights will flicker on and off. The phone will ring, and there will be nobody there. If you ever see the Hash slinging slasher, good luck.
I have one theory: Maybe there were multiple Jacks, which is why there were 8 suspects. And why this case might be so hard to find out, because no one knew in reality that there were multiple Jacks
This is the moment in this episode when Shane got the idea for puppet history he said you could use puppets to do true crime stories and then he sat there says I get on with that and a look of creative thought hit him and puppet history was born
I actually wonder if Jack the Ripper was a guy from Hamilton, Canada, my hometown. I read about this potential suspect a while ago. There was a fellow who was English-born and tended to visit his home in London during the summer. Other times he lived in Hamilton. This chap was wealthier, obviously, since he had two houses, and this was because he was in fact a doctor. In Spring 1888, a prostitute was found in a back alley in a sketchy part of town with her throat slashed in much the same fashion. I’ve actually been to the spot where it supposedly happened, and it’s definitely from the Victorian era. Shortly after, the police investigated, and this guy dipped and went to London, where the rest of the murders occurred. Once the police started getting really involved there, he used his evasion skills to head back to Canada. And in autumn 1888, another murdered prostitute was found in Hamilton, in a similar fashion to Mary Kelly. It’s also worth noting this guy did have a moustache. It’s not the most damning evidence, but I really wonder if that’s who it was. Wish I could remember the guy’s name. Edit: I got some information wrong, but I found the man. His name was Dr. Francis Tumblety. He was American, not English, but practiced in several countries after getting in trouble with the law numerous times, so he was very good at evading the police. He did in fact live in Whitechapel during the time of the Ripper killings. And he also lived and practiced in Hamilton at the time the two prostitutes here were killed. Another interesting tidbit is that he was once married to a prostitute, but the marriage failed. He was a known misogynist, especially towards prostitutes (likely because of his failed marriage), and even kept preserved uteruses on display in his home. I wonder where he got these uteruses…. Some ripperologists say he was too tall to match the description of the man the hookers were with.
@@katiemarie5491 I actually heard it from a ghost tour in downtown Hamilton and researched it myself later on. He’s already on the list of suspects iirc, he’s just not super high up there because the murders in Hamilton were never proven to be him, and him being in the right places at the right times could purely be some weird coincidence. But still, it makes me wonder… Edit: I posted an edit on the original comment. I did some extra research to find the name of the guy I’m looking for.

He couldn’t be a doctor. He said he was going to use the blood to write the next letter, but was frustrated that it coagulated and was useless, but a doctor would know the blood would clot.
Right. And the theory of him being a police officer or a police mortician, those would give him anatomical knowledge so he still should've known the blood would coagulate.
I mean he could be a shrewd individual who was purposefully including information in the letter to throw authorities off; aka he was lying. He also said he would clip one of the ears of the victims, but that didn't go down either
@@josiahteng6906 he didn’t get the ear because he ran out of time.
It would never occur to a doctor to say “I’m gonna use the blood as ink” because they would know that it wouldn’t work. It’d be some 5d chess move to double bluff like that.
But is the 1800's after all

What's interesting for me is how he always managed to get away right before the police came. He was certainly very familiar with the streets, maybe scouted them beforehand to know which dark alley would be a safe passage after the murder. I also think he could have been a "nobody" - a regular person whose name, as with most of us, went down into the darkness of passing time never to be discovered.

Theory: what if, Jack the Ripper was actually a cop and that’s how he was able to walk around doing things without getting caught because everyone around him just thought he was a normal cop. This would explain a lot of things besides the “Doctor” thing, But it is possible he was studying medicine and quit because he knew he wouldn’t go anywhere therefore he chose to become a cop instead.
What if he was a ghost that’s probably how he got around
What if he ate baked beans
What if she’s a girl and her theory is invalid

@@ToxicFireWolf00 right!
It was bad. The photos were of her after she was cleaned up.

@@TheKnowledgeMan101 I agree
In case anyone was wondering they determined time of death by the temperature of the body. It decreases 1.5 c every hour.
oh ok ty
They could’ve also looked at the color of the blood, as it gets darker when it clots. But there are a lot of factors to consider including the surface (blood clots quicker on a rough surface and oily surfaces make the blood clot slower than it would on a smooth or clean surface) Also when someone dies, their blood pressure tanks to zero and they stop bleeding which can help determine if they were stabbed to death and died quickly or if they were laying there bleeding for a while before they died.
Yeah she probably would still have been warm when they found her. It's a shame

For the barnett dude, I think the fact that Mary Kelly was killed in her sleep and that he was her ROOMATE/FORMER ROOMATE says a LOT!!!
True, but the thing with Marie Kellys room is that the door can be opened from the outside, by reaching through a window and unlocking the latch. This means any potential men that she had brought back whilst “working” would be able to regain access to her room at any given time. Which does throw doubt onto the theory

Based on my limited knowledge of the Victorians... sadomasochism probably
Being a necrophiliac might help
Sexually insane meant homosexual tendencies,at least for that time period
theory: he worked for the police which would explain why he knew all the police routes. he could’ve been a police mortician which would explain how he knew how to use the knife on a body
That is my own theory as well! Also, because a police morticians' word would have been valued by the authorities, he could have diverted the suspicions onto doctors and other people who had anatomical knowledge while at the same time using his position to make him 'one of the good guys'.
Interesting thought, but I’m not sure why a police mortician would know the patrol routes of beat cops
@@spartannrage Well I'd assume there weren't a whole lot of police morticians so it'd make sense if he would be close friends with beat cops

You can see Shane's eyes glimmer distantly at the idea of the puppet true crime/history shows and I like to imagine this is where The Professor was born.
Interestingly, a professor I once had told us that the police always knew it was Aaron Kosminski.
He (my professor) claimed to have visited the Crime Museum of Scotland Yard, which is not open to the public and is only accessible by invitation. There he learned that Scotland Yard actually had solved the case: Aaron Kosminski had contracted syphilis from one of the local prostitutes, problem is, he couldn't remember which one. Worse, late stage syphilis can cause insanity, especially if not treated.
They stipulate that he basically went on a rampage and killed any prostitute he thought could have been the one that passed him the syphilis. The reason they covered it up is interesting: Kosminski was a Polish Jewish immigrant and the police feared that if this was made to be public, there would be war on the streets with people harassing the Polish/Jewish neighbourhoods.
So they covered it up, and the reason they continued to just let it play out as an unsolved case is simple enough: tourism revenue from people who are interested in the "Jack the Ripper" tales.
Wow this sounds real good idea for the actual thing
This is actually a really good theory. The Jack the Ripper killings stopped suddenly and most serial killers don't stopped unless they are stopped. If he was ill and passed away due to it that would explain why he just disappeared.
Hannah Bennett maybe Jack the ripper was rather elderly, 50 years old maybe, and as he got older he slowly stopped the murders, then stopped entirely
It just makes sense for it to be Aaron anyway.

thank you for saying it, that's all i was thinking
A not so fun fact: With Jack The Ripper, many believe that all women he killed were prostitutes, the real truth is that only one was but people are more bothered about the ripper himself rather than who the women were.
This was caused by the Police's Death Certificates, which stated the women were all prostitutes.
It's kinda sad that they just blow over their lives honestly but I'm sure that there's existing books on them!
Enjoy this info! I love this kind of stuff so it's sort of like a memory check :D
Yes so true. Debunk File has a great video on Jack the Ripper and the Canonical Five and I love the focus on the victims. 👍🤠
I agree. It isn't a fun fact because it's not true. Literally all but one had records of prostitution. And I mean hard, verifiable records of prostitution. To deny Kelly and Stride especially being prostitutes is nonsense. It'd be like arguing 1+1 doesn't equal 2. Both have EXTENSIVE records of prostitution. The only one that's in question I Catherine Eddows but the rest definitely did have a history with prostitution
There's a book called the five which is basically based off this thought, it gives a description on each woman and talks about their lives ect

I don't if I'm too sensitive or a "snowflake" but most of the comments i see in these videos are disgusting
It’s because these people don’t understand that what makes these pictures so horrible is that these were innocent people who were taken unfairly.

Not to mention, several of them weren’t even actual prostitutes and were instead labeled as that incorrectly. It is people like you who make the idea of Christianity so unappealing to so many people. Next time you think you’re so high and mighty and above sin, think about how often you break the same rules you have decided all people must live by. You are not free of sin, because no one is, and being sinful does not make someone any less human, it does not make them any less deserving of respect, it does not make them any less deserving of a full and happy life.

The look on Shane’s face at 2:39 is extra precious when you imagine that THIS is the moment where he conceived the idea for Puppet History.
I love the theory that Jack the Ripper was actually a woman and a midwife. It would explain the anatomical knowledge that the killer had of the female body, and it would also explain how she could move around freely and undetected. Because of the way society treated women in those days, with the whole "women can't do anything," it could be safe to assume that there were no female suspects because they believed that a woman could not carry out these murders. I think that this is a really interesting idea and hope that one day, they can prove it right.
Edit: It would also be easier for her to kill these women. If she walked towards a woman at night, then the victim might not think much of it and it would be easier to get closer to them to kill fast and undetected.
It would hard to explain the witnesses seeing a male, unless you say all the witnesses made up the sightings potentially?

You have no idea how those mental illnesses work 🤦♀️ most physocpaths and sociopaths live "normal" lives and aren't evil/killers/obsessed, and if anything it would be the SOCIOPATHS who are obsessed and one sighted. Psychopaths are generally more intelligent and easier to keep rage hidden.

@@stingray7535 Was it "Devil in The White City"? -- I read that too. Very good book.
@@Wolftess yup

To add to the cop theory, the ripper references “boss” in his letter, he knows these letters are going to the police almost like he is putting it in the open that he is a cop and is writing to his superior
I am definitely a believer of the cop theory, but "boss" was also a term of familiarity between friends at the time. He may have been attempting to express a cordialness as if he was on their level.
@@kazmierahammond2148 Yes. People who serial kill like this seem like they'd be proud of it and want to show off, and they consider themselves to be better than everyone else. A sociopath kinda thing. Could be either that he was just using "boss" in the way/s you described, I think. Maybe possible that he was being ironic and he actually was a cop himself, but idk how likely that is
Boss is a common nickname that people call their mates in the UK, esp London, so it was probably “jack” trying to be buddy buddy with the cops - loads of SKs see themselves as “friends” with the police, especially those who target sex workers (misogyny am I right)

The one thing that definitely makes me think it wasn't actually a doctor is the way they commented in the letter about the blood getting too thick to write with.

Ryan: how weird is it that a grown man dressed as a serial killer?
Shane: it’s like furries. why they so muscular?
That question may never be answered...
CHIPPED TØØTH truly one of humanities greatest unanswered questions
Jessie o what is a furry?
Cama, you're gonna wanna delete that right now
Drendex what’s a furry?

“Little puppets I’m on board with that”
And thus, Puppet History was born
Rumor has it Jack the Ripper was inspired by the Hashslinging Slasher
how do you like a comment more than once
The most terrifying monster that you could imagine. He was the head fry cook at The Krusty Krab when, one day, he accidentally chopped his hand off with a knife. To this day, he still has a spatula instead of his hand. There are a few signs to see when he is coming. The lights will flicker on and off. The phone will ring, and there will be nobody there. If you ever see the Hash slinging slasher, good luck.
Lol
This is a stolen comment. But still gold
SFA stick fighting association stolen from google you mean
I have one theory: Maybe there were multiple Jacks, which is why there were 8 suspects. And why this case might be so hard to find out, because no one knew in reality that there were multiple Jacks
My thoughts exactly...just like yhe zodiac killer..there is no way is only one
what if instead of "ha ha" dude wrote "sksksksksks" .... not sure if that would be less or more terrifying
both are scary but if I heard either while walking through a dark alley my scream would be heard across the city
sksksksks is infinity times worse.
More. WAY more.
Sksksksksksksks is much worse to me lmao
Omg Jack the Ripper: The world’s first organ harvester and vsco girl

Was looking for this comment lol
And Puppet History was born!
This is the moment in this episode when Shane got the idea for puppet history he said you could use puppets to do true crime stories and then he sat there says I get on with that and a look of creative thought hit him and puppet history was born
Someone: So I met a prostitute the other day-
Jack the Ripper, turning his head 130 degrees: Did you say........ pRoSTiTutE????

Possible suspects include under couches, under beds, washing machines, corners and cats.
Nameless and my hair bands and clips and pins and my favourite tops too
Nameless lmao
Nameless nah it’s obv the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home. She likes to collect things
And earrings. Where in the world...?
I actually wonder if Jack the Ripper was a guy from Hamilton, Canada, my hometown. I read about this potential suspect a while ago.
There was a fellow who was English-born and tended to visit his home in London during the summer. Other times he lived in Hamilton. This chap was wealthier, obviously, since he had two houses, and this was because he was in fact a doctor.
In Spring 1888, a prostitute was found in a back alley in a sketchy part of town with her throat slashed in much the same fashion. I’ve actually been to the spot where it supposedly happened, and it’s definitely from the Victorian era. Shortly after, the police investigated, and this guy dipped and went to London, where the rest of the murders occurred. Once the police started getting really involved there, he used his evasion skills to head back to Canada.
And in autumn 1888, another murdered prostitute was found in Hamilton, in a similar fashion to Mary Kelly. It’s also worth noting this guy did have a moustache.
It’s not the most damning evidence, but I really wonder if that’s who it was. Wish I could remember the guy’s name.
Edit: I got some information wrong, but I found the man. His name was Dr. Francis Tumblety.
He was American, not English, but practiced in several countries after getting in trouble with the law numerous times, so he was very good at evading the police. He did in fact live in Whitechapel during the time of the Ripper killings. And he also lived and practiced in Hamilton at the time the two prostitutes here were killed.
Another interesting tidbit is that he was once married to a prostitute, but the marriage failed. He was a known misogynist, especially towards prostitutes (likely because of his failed marriage), and even kept preserved uteruses on display in his home. I wonder where he got these uteruses….
Some ripperologists say he was too tall to match the description of the man the hookers were with.
this is actually good evidence and quite interesting 💀 you should honestly talk to someone about this
@@katiemarie5491 I actually heard it from a ghost tour in downtown Hamilton and researched it myself later on. He’s already on the list of suspects iirc, he’s just not super high up there because the murders in Hamilton were never proven to be him, and him being in the right places at the right times could purely be some weird coincidence. But still, it makes me wonder…
Edit: I posted an edit on the original comment. I did some extra research to find the name of the guy I’m looking for.
Lol his Wikipedia article cites him as a medical quack 😂😂 so not a doctor
yo, not really related but i’m from Hamilton, Scotland. just thought it was cool we both live in a place called hamilton lol
I hate Hamilton bro ong
At 2:30
Ryan: maybe they used sock puppets to report crimes in the 1800s
Shane: Puppets...yeah, I can see that...
And thus “Puppet History” was born...
Saw an episode of primeval that featured a Victorian man doing a puppet show of spring-heeled Jack
Viridiana Cortes didn’t you copy this
@@osiruq No.
Me: I don't get scared easily
Also me at 3 am after binging Buzzfeed Unsolved: Yes, but what if Jack the Ripper was still alive and traveled halfway across the world to kill me in my sleep
Edit: Guys this was a crackpost at 3am stop liking it
I personally don’t believe in ghosts but I’m very scared of ghosts and other supernatural things that I don’t believe in
@@randompotato6474 Same my dude
I think that's a different killer you are saying.
@@mynaevisweloveyou86 ?
I reccomend watching some art videos after binge watching buzzfeed unsolved, that's what I do lmao. Or read a book.
