The scariest time of the year is here, when darkness reigns and the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Tonight, as the moon casts an eerie glow on the world below, and the wind whispers ancient secrets, we venture into a realm where the extraordinary becomes ordinary, and the mundane fades away. But beware, dear listener, as the subject of this year’s Halloween special is most definitely not the faint of heart.

For tonight we embark on a spine-chilling journey through the haunting streets of Whitechapel, as we unravel the mysteries surrounding one of the most notorious figures in history: Jack the Ripper.

In our quest for truth and understanding, we will walk in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper himself, peering into the shadowy corners where his victims met their untimely demise. And we’ll get to know Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—the five canonical victims of Jack the Ripper, each murdered in the most horrific manner imaginable.

And we’ll seek out the ghosts of Whitechapel. Reports of ghostly apparitions, eerie footsteps, and mysterious sounds have plagued this area of England’s capital for the last 135 years. Are these spectral echoes the tormented souls of those who met their end at the hands of the Ripper?

Tonight, on the scariest night of the year turn the lights down low, and join me as I guide you through the East End of London as we ask just how haunted is Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel?
