Although Jack the Ripper was not the world's first serial killer, he was certainly its first media murderer. His crimes took place in an era when literacy amongst the general populace was increasing and the press at large was very much a catalyst for social change. Articles about the murders appeared in the newspapers on a daily basis and fostered a general fascination that, at times, bordered on hysteria. Indeed, the very name "Jack the Ripper" was probably the invention of a journalist and it was press coverage that helped turn the murders into a phenomenon and transformed a sordid back street killer into an international legend.

NIGHT 1 begins with an investigation of Tower Bridge. On the Walkway Derek senses 3 spirits, the 2nd of which he felt had drowned himself. During a seance there was definante movement of a door, while Stuart hears unexplained noises on the walkway. In the Bridge Masters Quarters Derek picks up the spirit of a man he called Tom who was a perfectioist of time. From entering the quarters the dog acommpanying them, Max, appears hesistant and unsure. Sounds of 'Rappings' are heard seemingly in response to questions. In the Man's Hole Derek picks up on active energies crying for help. Derek seems 'unnerved' stating this is a new energy to him and it is best described as a swarm of bees. On entering the mortuary Derek suggests the spirits seem angered and are trying to cause disturbances. As the coverage for the night ends we are aware of a 'suspended barrel' apparently moving by itself.
NIGHT 2 sees the team visit Commercial Tavern, said to have been host to may local rogues for the last 150 years, and a local venue for prostitutes of the area. Derek links with the spirit of a Nigerian who he sensed had bad intentions. In the cellar Karl felt a tap on the back as Derek senses feelings of dread from the Nigerian. The team then conduct a seance where Derek feels he is kicked when asking for the Nigerian to show himself. Max the dog starts barking madly at this point. Meanwhile Karl has to be removed from the cellar gasping for air. Yvette, Karl and Derek then attempt automatic writing with a planchette and the name JOSEPH comes through. Suggestions are that this is a possible link to Joseph Merrick, otherwise known as the Elephant Man. During a break Jon is then taken from the building suffering from the same complaint as Karl earlier. The seance continues with Derek sensing the Nigerian's name as JACOB HILL. After some provocation from Yvette the glass begins to move quickly around the after which Derek suggests that he has becomes possessed by Jacob. Yvette challenges Derek to speak in Nigerian after which he collapses.
NIGHT 3 begins in the main room of Clink Prison Museum. Derek links with a clergyman who wants "to get even". He also connects with a young boy who he felt had died in the prison because he was diseases. He sensed the building was engulfed in flames and burnt to the ground in 1700's, which was later validated as occuring in 1780. The team then begin a seance where the table appears to rock and some of the team report blasts of cold air. The team then apparently recieve taps on the table in response to questions, and suggestions are made that these might be children.
NIGHT 4 The Blind Beggar Pub and a deserted warehouse in Whitechapel
