Most of us are at least somewhat familiar with the story of Jack the Ripper. You know, the brutal serial killer who walked the poorest areas of London in 1888.
While Jack was completely ruthless when killing and dismembering his victims, that most people do not know about him is that he also enjoyed taunting the police with cooling letters.
According to historical accounts, the police officers in London has received several letters from Jack the Ripper detailing his brutal antics.

Surprisingly, however, each letter appears to be written by a different person, based on writing. This has caused modern historians to declare most of the fake letters - all but one, that is. Let me introduce the "From Hell" infamous letter.

This letter was sent to George Lusk, Whitechapel Vigilance Committee leader, October 16, 1888. Lusk received the letter in a small box which also contained half of a left kidney that belonged to his latest victim

he says :. "In hell Mr. Lusk, Sor, I send. You half the Kidne I took a woman and prasarved for you. Tother piece I fried and ate. It was very nise. I can send the bloody knif who came out, if you do a Wate whil more. Signed, Catch me when you can, Mishter Lusk. "

well, it's disturbing. When the letter was received, a doctor examined the kidney and found it to be human, but could provide no further details. It is strange enough to get such a strange look into the psyche of such a notorious killer.
