Does the ghost of Jack the Ripper walk through the Whitechapel district of London?
According to an article written by freelance writer journalist Andy Ellis published in the 2005 Bounty Books "True Ghost Stories of the British Isles" Jack the Ripper might have been seen haunting the Miller's Court area.
Ellis reports that Joseph Ogrowski saw a male figure disappear through the hoardings of number 13 shortly before its' demolition. This happened on two separate occasions. Mr Ogrowski described the figure as wearing "some type of felt cap and a long brown coat" The collar was turned up and the figure was carrying a parcel. This description is very similar to that of a man seen with 5th Ripper victim Mary Kelley at around 11-45pm on the eve of her death.
The figure has not be seen since the demolition took place.
