Who Was Jack The Ripper?
4. Charles Dodgson
You have likely never heard the name Charles Dodgson before, but there is a very good chance that you have heard the name Lewis Carroll. They are actually the same person, and Dodgson wrote one of the world’s most famous literary works: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It has been proposed that Dodgson was Jack the Ripper.
The writer did live in London at the time, but the reason he was suspected was because of certain anagrams from two of his books: The Nursery Alice, and Sylvie and Bruno. It has been proposed that these anagrams could be deciphered to reveal an admission from Dodgson that he was the Ripper. The theory is generally not taken at all seriously.
