== The 'From Hell' letter (also known as the 'Lusk Letter') ==

On 16th October, 1888, George Lusk, the chairman of the '''Whitechapel Vigilance Committee''', received a small cardboard parcel containing what appeared to be half of a human kidney, along with a letter.

It read:

<blockquote>From hell.
Mr Lusk,
Sor

The kidney was taken to Dr Openshaw, a pathological curator at London Hospital, for inspection. Dr Openshaw confirmed that is was a human kidney.
