Jack the Ripper: The Killer from Hell 

Found a clue, Jack the Ripper and Winnie the Pooh share the same middle name. Coincidence? I think not!

Only one thing is certain: the culprit is not alive as of 2019.

"...jack may have suffered from homicidal impulses..." Um, yeah. That checks out.

The real Ripper was the friends we made along the way.

me: time to go to bed,i have school tomorrow Biographics: allow me to introduce myself

I can’t blame Londoners for accusing a dude named “Leather Apron” as a potential serial killer

"Charles Cross" - not his real name - is by far the most likely candidate. The guy was found at the scene, having "discovered" the body, just moments after a murder occured, gave a false name to police, and tried to give them the slip. He also lived in and around the area where the murders took place; his route to work took him right through some of those very places. He also used to live right in the epicentre of the suspected area where the murderer was thought to have lived, by modern methods of figuring out a catchment area based upon where each murder took place. Wasn't he also a butcher by trade? So he wouldn't have attracted much attention wearing blood stained clothing.

I mean, Jack had it bad from the start. What kind of parents would give their son Jack a middle name like "The" when they know their last name is already "Ripper".

Mary Pearceys' face scared the hell out of me!

All I'm saying is, I've never seen Ed Sheeran and Jack the Ripper in the same room together... Funny coincidence that...

As an American, it absolutely blew my mind when I read that not only was Winston Churchill alive during this time, he was a teenager. It really shouldn't have surprised me that much, but they seem so much like completely different eras, like how Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr. were born in the same year, or that Nintendo existed during the Ottoman Empire.

I love how he says "Ripper" at the end of sentences

I will forever picture Jack the Ripper wearing a Vincero watch.

"Yours truly, Jack the Ripper" - Jack the Ripper probably

I feel like someone has suspected the right person at one point in time.

"Jack you're a classic megalomaniac, you haven't mentioned me once in your entire battle rap" - Hannibal Lecter

This guy’s voice, perfect narrator/storyteller🔥🔥

"It wasn't me" - Shaggy, who probably wasn't Jack the Ripper

“Hey I’m making a video about a serial killer who wants to sponsor me” *watch company* “Hey :)”

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here"- - William Shakespeare Never a more true phrase said.

Wouldn't it just be so karma if Jack the Ripper was Arthur Conan Doyle? "The police can't find me? Let me mock them by making up a detective who can solve everything that they can't."

I'm less interested in the identity of Jack, what I want to know is the mind behind it all. What was he like? What drove him to kill and mutilate in the way that he did? What did he think of it all? To me, those details are infinitely more fascinating than being able to put a name to the killings. It's a shame we'll never know.

Jack the Ripper: Best. Serial killer name. Ever.

Jack the Ripper killed many. Buy a wrist watch lol

Oi mate, pass the liquor, it's Jack the Ripper

Jack the ripper vs Hercules was my favorite part

In the streets of London, a tale unfolds, Of a criminal enigma, whose story still holds, Jack the Ripper, infamous and grim, His reign of terror, a nightmare within. Mary Ann Nichols, the first to fall, Her life stolen away on Buck's Row's gall, Strangled and slashed, a brutal sight, The curtain was raised on this haunting night. Annie Chapman, a week had passed, In Hanbury Street, her breath did last, Abdominal mutilations, surgical precision, The Ripper's knowledge fueled suspicion. Elizabeth Stride, the same night's toll, In Dutfield's Yard, her fate took its hold, Her throat slit, but a different scene, Interrupted plans, an unsolved scheme. Catherine Eddowes, an hour's span, Mitre Square witnessed horror's brand, Throat slashed, abdomen torn wide, Her kidney stolen, panic multiplied. Mary Jane Kelly, the final victim's name, In Miller's Court, darkness claimed, Mutilation unmatched, a scene of dread, The Ripper's masterpiece, souls left for dead. Inspector Frederick Abberline, relentless in his quest, To unmask the killer, put the city at rest, With H Division, he pursued the trace, But Jack's true identity, still a secret encased. Through harrowing details, victims and their plight, London's streets haunted, engulfed in fright, Each murder etched in memory's strain, Forever linked to Jack the Ripper's reign. And so, we ponder with a shudder and a sigh, The motivations and secrets that lie, Behind these heinous acts, their dark allure, Jack the Ripper, an enigma to endure.

I hope jack the ripper would be caught if he acted these crimes in modern times. Its crazy how hard investigative work was back then

Honestly, I'm even more interested in that torso murderer that was mentioned. I wonder why Jack the Ripper rose to such to prominence, but nobody ever mentions the torso killings that were going on at the same time. I guess there's just not much to go on there, since almost none of the torso victims were identified. That's really sad.

The fact that we will probably never know who Jack the Ripper was makes him an even more fascinating figure. The only person who knows who Jack is is the killer himself, and he’s long dead.

Thanks Simon. Yep I've read a lot about Jack over the years. My Scottish Grand Mother talked about how his notoriety still scared people when she was a girl. (and She was born when he started his spree . ) I think that is why I find it interesting. I'd like you to look at Stonewall Jackson..could he be the best American General ? Lee and he seemed to be an unbeatable team.

Loved the video. And the fact that they never could find Jack, adds to it's thrill. And by the way it is not so uncommon for the serial killers to never be captured or identified. Normally a psychopath is really good at hiding his true nature. They live, study, and work among us without us having any clue about their reality. Great video, thank you for all the efforts.

22:17 OMG! Chills down my spine...

He was an unusual killer. Most had more of a cooling off period. Clearly, it was about mutilation, not torture. He seemed to have a rage for women as well. The genitalia, the breasts, the face were all targeted, as if he wanted to erase their womanhood. The scariest part? You would not have felt threatened by him, he would not have stood out. He had a good reason for being out at night, he was someone nobody would look twice at. He was not an outsider in the east end. Even when women knew there was a killer, they still went with him into dark alleys. In my opinion, jack the ripper was almost certainly male. Psychologically, female serial killers tend to be based on some kind of material gain, and they also use less personal and bloody ways of killing. A woman could certainly have had the knowledge required, but it is unlikely.

Well researched-again by the team Simon. Great channel, just one of many of yours.

10:23 if you wanna skip the second promo.

The music is incredibly unsettling although fitting for this particular video

Rest in peace to those that passed away.

I came here to find out more about Vincero watches and it was mostly about some serial killer

My favorite BS theory is that HH Holmes was Jack the Ripper, and the killings stopped because he moved to the US

John Douglas(fbi profiler and author of mindhunter) actually covered this case in depth in his book cases that haunt us. Originally he thought jack was kosmimski or someone similar to him. He fit the profile perfectly. But after finding out he was still alive after the murders stopped (living out his days in mental asylums). He ruled him out as his prime suspect. Who then became David Cohen(or someone like him). A near identical profile that just fit the mold better than Kosminsky.

I love this guys videos so interesting. Although some are kinda hard to keep ya lunch down.

Your videos are excellent, well researched and well presented by yourself.

Good Christ the last murder was gruesome. Goodness. Overkill much Jack? Makes me shiver a bit when watching this.

Was listening on my bike to work and got chills from the vid. Great job with it!

New to your channel ! Loving the content !!

He is easily one of the most mysterious and interesting characters in history. So much room for theories and so much questions. Who was he? Legend, infamous, but still.

Dr Thomas Bond was my great great uncle, so glad he's included here.

I Love this channel I admire how this man breaks it down sophisticated and Badass is this man a professor Any more mystery episodes???

I really like your series. Very well done.

He was one of Dio's minions if I remember correctly.

A big thumbs up! That was thoroughly terrifying, and you did a great job painting a gruesome word picture!

You brought up a good point, in reference to those possible Ripper victims who fall outside of “The Canonical Five”; that because Martha Tabram’s throat wasn’t cut like the other victims afterwards, that she’s been excluded by many as being a victim of JTR... But I agree that it’s entirely possible that Tabram was The Ripper’s first victim, and that he didn’t cut her throat because at that point, just killing her was enough to excite him. He may not have been sure early on about how he would play out his deranged murder fantasies. But as he continued to kill, the murderer evolved in the ferocity of the damage he did, and he found that what once excited him in the beginning, no longer did as time went on... and that he had to grow more savage with each subsequent victim, in order to feel any excitement from doing them. Basically, what got him off at first eventually didn’t anymore, so he had to keep taking it further each time. This would ultimately lead to the most savage of his killings, with his complete ravaging and tearing apart of Mary Kelly, who was the most torn up and disfigured. Kelly is also considered to be the only victim who’s murder occurred in a private residence, so the murderer had plenty of time to relax, be methodical, and take his time, acting out his ultimate violent fantasy and prolonging the event, without the risk of being caught by a passerby, or by the police.

I wish there had been a disclaimer at the beginning of the video about the pictures, and how the story is not for the faint of heart or stomach.

"May the Schwartz be with you." - Israel Schwartz.

I remember watching a documentary on this on Discovery channel when I was in 5th grade. I couldn't sleep that night.

I'm watching all of your biographic video(s), how did I miss these, was I mad at you or something?🤭 Excellent video it was quite descriptive and terrifying. 🥺

What a nice video to watch at this current time. Happy Spooktober 2020, everyone.

A years after Jack the Ripper murders. A few eerily similar murders happened in New York. I had that someone I don't remember who, said the killer might have been sailor who's ship had stopped in London just long enough for the killer to do his thing. Then when it was time to set sail again, he simply got back on the ship and moved on. Possibly to New York. Where he killed again. The killer could have a hundred victims all over the world if that's the case. I mean think about, if you were murdering psychopath with weird fetish for cutting people up. And it's pretty obvious that you like it too much to want to stop. What would be the best profession for you, that would allow you to keep killing while staying on the move? At the same time imagine being on top of other sailors on that ship. Having to travel long distances with this maniac. I'd imagine someone like Jack the Ripper wouldn't be the most friendly person on the planet. He was probably a total asshole, especially when after not having his fix of blood and guts starts getting to him.

I just want you to know that the way you talk with expressions makes my curiosity more intriguing !

I'm doing an English paper on this case, thank you for making this video as it is literally the backbone of my research

13:18 I was having a snack when i saw this and boy did i regret eating.

Have you done a video about Harriet Tubman? Or Queen Liliuokalani?

Interesting fact: Even today the graves of Polly Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly all have flowers left at them, 130 years on they aren't forgotten

Along with the DNA Lab - and accordingly, the validity of the tests on the alleged DNA on the shawl coming under serious doubt, Sotheby’s of London had their antique clothing/fashion experts examine the fabric, and their conclusion was that not only was the fabric and pattern of the shawl NOT designed until well into the 20th Century, it was also said that even if the shawl had existed in the 1880’s, it would have been a very expensive shawl, and no one in the East End would have ever had the money to buy it. It was an item that only those who were wealthy could have afforded when it was eventually made available ... nearly 20 years later.

I love your voice great narration I wish your videos were longer

The most interesting theory of Jacks identity I have heard is H.H Holmes. The theory states that he was capable of the violence and had the intelligence for anatomical knowledge and apparently his documented travels to England and back to the U.S line up with the murders.

It’s still more certain things that we still don’t know about Jack the ripper until this day thanks biographics

We truly need the help of the "Scoobt-Doo Gang" on this one. I just don't believe we are going to solve it without their help. I've got a feeling that it's Old Man Jenkins..

Did a walk through the Jack The Ripper display in Madame Tousault’s wax museum in London in 1983. Chilling, extremely realistic experience. Glad I had the insight to do so. Inspiring, not to follow suit, but to appreciate the crimes of the horror that haunted White Chapel in 1888. The Johnny Depp movie, From Hell, presents a thought provoking, alternative view of the Ripper saga.

Vincero, the ripper's watch XD

Yesss just when I need some new content. Simon and co drop this beauty ♥️

"London Bridge is falling down falling down, my fair lady"

His fight against Heracles was the best so far imo

I'd like to see a video about Constantine The Great.

My great uncle was the head of Scotland Yard for 40 years. My family is from Whitechapel, where he started out as a beat cop just before these killings started. Sherlock Holmes is partially based off of him; he used to get into disguise and hang out at the Whitechapel pubs. Frederick Wensley. Attributed with inventing modern policing.

True story: at the time, the stage play of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was going on, and the lead actor Richard Mansfield was so convincing in the role that he was considered a prime suspect -- and his career was wrecked.

Have you done the Alice Killings? I think there very interesting. All the bodies were killed in different way but a playing card was left next to them with the word "Alice" written on the card. It was never solved and i left out a lot of details.

Thank you for making a video about this infamous killer! 😊 Since you included Inspector Abberline in this video, do you think you could make a video about him? Thanks!

I wanted to thank you for these video's,I am A chef and stumbled upon your channel,after listening to one while doing prep I was hooked and have been enjoying your backlog.I have learned so much about historical figures,the way you explain to us is engaging and enjoyable please keep up the good work and I hope more people find your channel.

He was an Irishman called Francis Tumblety but listed as Tumbleton after his family moved to New York in 1851 when he was 17.

The standard of guilt isn't beyond a showdown of a doubt. It's beyond a REASONABLE doubt.

everybody: jack the ripper is a terrible person japan: LOLI BEAM!

Please do Cecil John Rhodes. Thanks for your fantastic presentation always

Always interesting, informative and entertaining 👍 team

We're almost november the 9th, in the Eastern. RIP ms Kelly

For a cliff notes version on Jack I recommend Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's "From Hell". References to all theories in the graphic novel are explained in the detailed and thorough appendices. And the book is also the best and most fun way of learning about London's history and city design.

The Cleveland Torso Murders would be a good subject.

Why am I watching this at midnight?

Simon I feel that advert was very genuine, I don't like or wear watches but I felt intrigued ⌚

There's a Ripper Walk guided tour about 20 minute walk from my home. Plus the 10 Bells pub, where the ladies would go is a short walk away.

really want you to also cover Zodiac as well since your covering Jack who was also never caught

I'm so in love with this man's voice!!! True Crime and Simon.....oh yeah ... perfect combination!

Out of all the videos I’ve watched, this one scared me the most.

"You're a naughty one....Saucy Jack!"

It was Spring Healed Jack.

'This watch does not look like every other watch out there.' The watch: *Literally looks like every other watch out there*

Simon Whistler is someone I can listen narrating about anything and I still would enjoy it

Now this is the kind of lunchtime information I crave.
