I thought this was settled by Star Trek - Jack the Riopper was a semi-immortal psychic vampire that fed on fear.<<<

MMario, the author of that Episode, Robert Bloch, was a dear, dear friend of mine. Before his death in 1994 (from cancer), we whiled away many hours before a fire at his house disucssing Ripperania. He did write a fictional book on the subject and fingered that Polish fella as his suspect. Even so, he really didn't buy that explanation. Bob was a fascinating man and that episode of Star Trek (Wolf in the Fold) is consitantly on fans' top ten lists whenever such lists are compiled.

I miss him terribly, Bob that is, not Jack The Ripper!
