Ripperology

Ghastly Headlines

  

The term “ripperology” was coined to describe the study and analysis of the Ripper cases.   

Because the murders were never solved, the legends surrounding them became a combination of genuine historical research, folklore, and pseudohistory.  There are over one hundred theories about the Ripper’s identity, and the murders have inspired multiple works of fiction.
