Jack the Ripper's Reign of Terror: The Gruesome True Crime That Shocked Victorian London.

Key Facts About Jack The Ripper...

In the gaslit labyrinth of 1888 Whitechapel, a chilling dread descended upon London's East End. Fog-shrouded alleys became hunting grounds, and whispers of a phantom killer turned into screams. This was the reign of Jack the Ripper, a name forever synonymous with unsolved horror and brutal, misogynistic violence.

Between August and November, five women—Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—met gruesome, terrifying ends. They were the canonical five victims of history's most infamous serial killer. This video delves into the shocking details of the Whitechapel murders, a case that remains unsolved over a century later.

The Ripper's methods were not just violent; they were shockingly precise and sadistic, suggesting a disturbing knowledge of human anatomy—possibly a surgeon or butcher.

Mary Ann Nichols was found with her throat slit so deeply she was nearly decapitated, with deep, jagged abdominal mutilations.

Annie Chapman's body was arranged with her possessions at her feet; she was disemboweled, and her uterus was skillfully removed by the killer.

Catherine Eddowes suffered extensive facial mutilations and was also disemboweled, with her kidney removed and taken as a trophy.

Mary Jane Kelly's murder was the most horrific: in a private room, the Ripper had time to virtually obliterate her body, removing her heart and arranging her organs around the scene in a display of ultimate brutality.

The sheer savagery of the attacks sent shockwaves through Victorian society, from the poverty-stricken streets of Whitechapel all the way to the throne of Queen Victoria, who demanded action from her officials. The police were inundated with letters, including the infamous "From Hell" letter, and countless suspects, but the killer's identity remains one of history's greatest mysteries.
