Seance Session 3

Geofferey Llewys “Jack the Ripper”. Free

It is the latter part of 1888 on the Eastside of London in the district of Whitechapel. A horrid series of brutal murders is taking place by the notorious Jack the Ripper. His victims are the unfortunate women of Whitechapel; they are vulnerable and easy prey for Jack.  The Metropolitan Police start inquiries and numerous suspects surface and are investigated. Even with the help of Scotland Yard no real progress is made. Even to this day, Jack the Ripper has not been identified and the crimes still remain unsolved.

Today, with your assistance, we will assume the role of psychic detectives and examine the case. Maybe questions such as, “Were there more than just the five canonical victims?” “Of the suspects that were questioned, was Jack the Ripper one of them?” and “What happened to Jack?” Maybe we can determine answers to some of these questions that even Scotland Yard could not answer.

John has appeared on over 50 television shows on HBO, VH1, SHOWTIME, A&E and THE COMEDY CHANNEL, and was a regular guest on FOX’S COMIC STRIP LIVE for 5 years.
