Fear Stalks Whitechapel - Pictures



RipperCon attendees examining materials of relevance to the Ripper case, 
which have been newly-released by Scotland Yard


A meeting of the minds? Rhea "Seeker" Jones, a New Age spiritualist from Berkeley speaks with Philip Graves, a psychic of London.


Ian Wrexham (a bookie's assistant), Sir Michael Bray (a wealthy philanthropist) and Bray's assistant, Brenda Greane, take a moment to assess the crowd.


Mark Ramsey of the University of London converses with Jim Lewis, of Scotland Yard.


Brainstorming I: up-and-coming horror author Howard James discusses 
the Ripper legend with screenwriter Kim Weinstein.


Authentication can be tricky. The antiquarian Chris Edminster takes a look at some mysterious documents found by Claire Bratovitch, a law clerk from Boston.


Graves, Wrexham, Bray and Greane talk about the 'business' of being psychic.


Brainstorming II: James and Weinstein hash out an exciting storyline based upon the Ripper murders - one that later turns out to be uncannily close to the truth. Meanwhile, Mark Ramsey looks on, apparently a bit bemused.



Things start to go wrong. Shortly after Graves' séance to contact the spirit of Jack the Ripper, the power fails, and the convention attendees find themselves locked in.
(Please note: the GMs distributed flashlights to the players
 - but they weren't very good flashlights...)
