Looking for obscure and “missing” ghost stories where you live?
Listen to this podcast to hear how Hollow Hill founder, Fiona Broome, found more than a dozen hauntings in Austin, Texas. They’re victims of Jack the Ripper, before he went to London.
In Austin, he was named the “Servant Girl Annihilator” by writer O. Henry, who was also interested in ghosts.
In this podcast, Fiona refers to:
- Her book, The Ghosts of Austin, Texas
- A Twist at the End, a fictional story related to Jack the Ripper in Austin, Texas

I’m very much confused on this “jack the ripper” story. I can’t get the podcasts. If he was killing here in Texas and then went to London why was he mentioned in connection with Masonry and/or the Royal family. Everybody seems to have their own opinion. I would like to hear something close to the truth. Hopefully you can give us an answer. Other authors are out for the sensational” buck.” I know you aren’t.
jack the ripper was truly infact sir william gull who was a royal physician and was hired by royal queen victoria to kill five prostitutes who had witnessed the questionable mariage of her son duke of clarence with a jewish girl who was the sister of mary jane kell because had the secret of their marriage revealed it would have torn the whole british empire. sir william gull used masonic ways of ripping the bodies of five prostitutes.
Prince,
This is one of the more popular versions of the story, and it may well be true. It was the foundation for several books and at least one movie.
That doesn’t lessen the curious similarities between the Austin ripper and Jack the Ripper.
Thanks for posting this information.
can this be possible that during the ripper killings one of the police member was helping the ripper in leaking the information about investigations ?
I need to know how to gain access so I can perform an investigation. Just me and no complicated equipment.
Additionally, I need to perform private investigations in the Austin area via buildings, grave yards, any abandoned property, etc…
I’m not a member of a paranormal group. If available, I choose the time frame 0100 to 0400.
Thank you.
