I am new to this wonderful website and have found it enthralling.
I do have a question though:
Has anyone read the book "Jack the Ripper, A Psychic Investigation" wriiten by Pamela Ball?
I would be interested to know any of your thoughts on it please.
As i don't know as much as you lot do I would hate to take on board her version of events if you can prove they are incorrect.
Thank you.}

I have read it, and while I am not a believer in the whole psychic thing I have to say I found the book to be very well written. I personally did not spot any obvious inaccuracies in the book, but I would suggest you read Philip Sugden or Donald Rumbelow in conjunction to get a balanced view of the facts.

Hi Stacey,
I also have read it, and found it intriquing, especially, as she came to the conclusion that Barnett murdered kelly, those on the casebook, are more then aware, that two of their long timers, are writting a book, about him.

Hi Stacy,

I have also read Pam Ball’s book and, like Richard, found it intriguing, but not because of her conclusions. I don’t think there is any substitute for worldly evidence, or lack of it, but that is only a personal view.

Yes, Richard, we are indeed more than aware that you and Leanne are writing a book about Joe Barnett.

Any idea when it will be available? Have you approached any prospective publishers yet?

Love,

Caz

Quite well written on the whole but the psychic angle worries me a tad,and to be honest the astrological charts are slightly guilding the lilly I think..I got a bit lost there.but good photos on the whole!!sorry Pam,but naff map!!!.on the whole enjoyed it!!!

Hi Stacy

I found the book rather frustrating in that whenever something tangible or evidential was about to be produced by the medium, they would cut off the reading because the medium sensed an evil presence.

I too am anxious to know when the book mentioned above will be coming out. I believe we first started reading about it on the boards last summer.

All The Best
Gary
