This week we decided to cover an entire time period, because THE VICTORIANS. This seemingly bleak and dismal era is what inspired many of the stories we tell today. Fascinated by death, these people took the word "macabre" to a whole new level. Speaking of death, this period produced Jack the Ripper who terrorized the streets of London in 1888, becoming one of the world's most notorious serial killers. The mystery of his killing spree remains unsolved, but we look to break down the most likely suspects.
