真实历史：1888年9月30日凌晨一点四十五分左右，46岁的妓女凯萨琳·艾道斯（catherine eddowes）被发现横尸在主教广场（mitre square）上。除了同样被割喉剖腹，肠子甩到右胸外，她还被夺去部分子宫和肾脏。由于巡罗的员警声称一点半时这里并无异状，因而研判死者是在一点半至一点四十五分之间被杀害，并被剖开腹部。凶手行凶手法之利落，让多数人认为他可能是专业的外科医生。
mitre square is now surrounded on three sides by modern office blocks and bordered on its south side by the sir john cass foundation school. nothing remains of the victorian square, except a few cobblestones across which people hurry on their way to and from work, not giving a thought that they are walking over the spot where one of london's most infamous crimes occurred.

catherine eddowes was the second victim of the night of sunday 30 september 1888, a night which already had seen the killing of elizabeth stride less than an hour earlier. these two murders are commonly referred to as the "double event" and have been attributed to the serial killer jack the ripper.

it was in the south-west corner of mitre square that the horribly mutilated body of catherine eddowes was found, the fourth victim of "jack the ripper". the body was discovered at 1.45am on the 30th september 1888.local tradition maintains that on the anniversary of the killing, people have occasionally glimpsed catherine's ghostly figure lying upon the spot where her life came to such a tragic and gruesome end. the photograph of mitre square to the right was taken last year during a jack the ripper ghost walk it shows a ghostly white mist.
