Jack the Ripper Walk

In recent weeks it has come to my attention that certain parties are using my ghost stories and those of my contributors as references for their own commercial enterprises.  If you or someone you know is writing a book on ghosts in the Pacific Northwest, PLEASE DO NOT!!! copy or use the following stories or any other materials within this website as references.

In the last few years, many people have become interested in the paranormal.  Their interests range from taking on the role of dedicated ghost hunters, to recreational ghost hunting.  The latter usually takes the form or planning vacations around haunted locales, such as hotels and restaurants, and going on ghost walks.  Because I have written on ghostly tourism, I receive emails from many people about where the ghost tours are,  and  how good are they?  It is sometimes difficult for me to keep track of this growing industry, so I am asking for reader's help.  

Below I have links to different ghost walks.  Click on the link and it will take you to pages with more information on each walk.  These descriptions are from the organizations who put the walks on.  I do not necessarily endorse the walk, or what the description says.  This information and the graphics used as icons are the property of the tour owners.  

I hope that readers will contact me and add comments after they take the various walks.  When you comment, try and be precise and to the point.  Please do not use profanity, or I cannot post your emails.  Please suggest other walks that I can add to this section.

Jack the Ripper walk 

on Golden Tours

 Ironically, Jack the Ripper committed only five murders, and there are at least five different tour groups conducting Jack the Ripper walks every night.  This is one tour that I have taken and do recommend for people. It costs a bit more than other tours, but that is because they are walking tours.  This tour has a bus taking people to the edge of Jack's territory.  Philip Hutchinson is also a consummate tour guide and fellow ghost hunter.  His tour is given through Golden Tours bus company.

Tour 18 – Jack The Ripper & London’s Murky Past

Jack the Ripper – In 1888 London was being subjected to a reign of terror as a mysterious lunatic played his fiendish game of cat and mouse with the police, leaving women so badly mutilated that people feared to walk the streets. The ‘Ripper Murders’ took place in the insalubrious Whitechapel area of East London. The world’s first serial killer was never caught. To this day, criminologists, ‘Ripperologists’, historians and amateur sleuths are no closer to discovering who the murderer was. An actor or one of our professional guides takes you around the very same streets, recapturing the horror and mystery of those dark nights.
