It seems like ages since I last wrote a blog, but to be honest, so much is happening right now that I barely have the time. In the last few months and weeks I have been busy on a number of projects locally that are slowly taking off but with many of them I cannot state the nature of them until they are officially released and ready for everyone. AMAZING HULL TOURS: I am pleased to announce that AMAZING HULL TOURS has really taken off. The Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/amazinghulltours has been gaining momentum and the number of people attending the tours is steadily increasing. The Jack the Ripper – The Hull Connection tour has been proving very popular, and feedback from all who attend has been wonderful. The full list of tours available includes: “Jack the Ripper” Hull Tours “Jack the Ripper” Beverley Tours Ghosts and Legends of Old Hull Tours Ghosts and Legends of New Hull Tours Unexplainable Hull Tours The Haunted Inns and Hostelries of Hull Tours The Ghosts of Beverley Tours The Ghosts of Cottingham Tours Heritage in Hull Tours Lost Pubs of Hull Tours Lost Churches and Chapels of Hull Tours Lost Theatres of Hull Tours Georgian Hull Tours Victorian Hull Tours F.S.

A prototype of the project can be viewed on the screen inside The George Hotel, situated on The Land of Green Ginger and a stone’s throw away from the location of an October 1888 Jack the Ripper scare in Hull! The current format is in the form of hundreds of old photos of Hull, so pop along and see how many you recognise.

Anyone with an interest can contact me via the blog, Facebook, Twitter, or email me at mcebe@hotmail.co.uk JACK THE RIPPER – THE BEVERLEY CONNECTION: On Thursday September 5th 2013 I will be lecturing at the Treasure House in Beverley on “Jack the Ripper – The Beverley Connection.” The lecture will start at 18:30 and tickets cost £5. There are three ways to book: At the lecture I will be unveiling two suspects with links to the town, plus a series of Ripper scares that occurred in the East Yorkshire market town in the Victorian period. LECTURES: I have a series of lectures booked with a number of private groups around Hull and East Yorkshire well into 2015, if you or your group wants a lecture please do not hesitate to contact me either through my blog, or via email at mcebe@hotmail.co.uk OTHER PROJECTS: In the past few weeks I have been involved in a number of projects locally that will soon become apparent, needless to say the people that I am working for are keeping details quiet for the moment, but all will be revealed soon. NEWS ROUNDUP: Notable Ripperologist Jennifer Sheldon has started up her own Ripper blog. Jennifer is a great Ripperologist, historian, and researcher, and her work on the likes of Uncle Jack is the stuff of legend. I hope her blog takes off and wish her, and Neal, all the best in the future. Jenni’s blog can be found here: http://jacktheripperinvestigations.blogspot.co.uk/ Jack the Ripper and Twitter have gone hand in hand for some time with some amazing Ripperologists, writers, researchers, historians, and people with an interest sharing and talking about the case on the micro blogging network, so it will come as no surprise that the people behind History press have launched a real time Ripper experience.
