What Is The Creepiest Thing About You?

[Hostile]

This question is spurred by a conversation I overheard my daughter having with a friend of hers. She told her friend this, and the reply was, "that's creepy." I don't think so, but it prompted this thread. So maybe it is.

I have always been fascinated with Serial Killers or Sociopaths. I cannot explain why, I just am. It started for me in elementary school when I read a book about unsolved mysteries. One of the stories was Lizzie Borden and another was Jack the Ripper.

That led me into studying stuff like Ed Gein, Charles Manson, Al Capone, the Zodiac killer, the Night Stalker, the Black Dahlia murder, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Green River killer, BTK, Ted Bundy and countless others.

I'm especially fascinated when the killers leave clues as if they want you to try and catch them. The Zodiac, BTK, and Jack the Ripper in particular. I read one time where the Ripper left a poem inside the heart cavity of one of his victims. It said.

I'm not a ghoul
I'm not a stripper
Just your friendly neighborhood
Jack the Ripper

I can't say I'm obsessed with them, but they do fascinate me and I often can't wait to read about them. My wife and kids shudder when they see a book on my desk sometimes.

No one fascinates me more than Manson. I would never write to any of these monsters the way some idiots do, but if someone told me I could talk to Charlie, I probably would. I think because I've seen so many interviews with the guy where he talks in circles and refuses to be pinned down. Part of me thinks I could make him very nervous and I would like to see that in his eyes for some reason.

Manson thinks hes mind humping people when all he does is answer questions w/ a question.

Something like

"Do you feel bad about killing innocent people?"

- "Does the Government feel bad for corrupting our souls w/ greed and envy?"

...something like that


And idiots here his charismatic ramblings and buy into that

I once spent a day walking through a graveyard, looking for people who were born on the same day as me or who died on that day.

I did that with the names on the Vietnam War Memorial.

Apparently, I sometimes sleep with my eyes partially open.

I dated a girl who did that, that IS creepy.

You could never sneak out.

You could never sneak out.

Thankfully, one of my redeeming qualities is that I'm not much of a sneaker. I'm just too tall to be fumbling around dark rooms, I'd be bound to knock something over.

The psychology of serial killers interests me as well.

Hos, do you watch Criminal Minds? It's a pretty good show (Wednesday nights on CBS).

I actually enjoy cemeteries.

I grew up in the country (middle of nowhere) and there was a cemetery about a mile from our house. Every once in a while, my cousin and I would ride our bikes down there and hang around when we were bored.

I enjoy history and cemeteries are historical sites in the most-personal and truest form.

Your Ripper poem is an urban legend.

it is believed that the letters sent to Scotland yard, one which was signed "Jack the Ripper", were hoaxes conceived by yellow journalists looking to incite sensation.

IF the Whitechapel Murderer that became publicly known as the "Ripper' did write a letter it was the "From Hell" heading he sent to a neighborhood watch leader, unsigned and with a piece of human liver that had bright's disease, whether or not it was from a victim is open to speculation as this too could've been a cruel hoax although it is known that one of his prostitute victims had bright's disease and was missing her liver; but the fact that this was public knowledge lends to the idea of a hoax.

Ultimately the "Ripper" is a romanticized figure, largely fictional, he was just a butcher that got away with it because there were no forensics and he was killing in a destitute part of town where the public and police were more inclined to contain crime as opposed to stopping it.

Murder was not unusual in Whitechapel, and frankly its speculative to know who he killed, it is beleived that 4 to 5 murders have enough similarities to be contributed to a single killer but after that it is conjecture and theory; the press glorified "Jack the Ripper' and probably created most of his mythology.

But the imagery of a Victorian stalker prowling the gothic city of London at night is an enduring one in popular imagination and the who dunnit game makes people want it to be something conspiratorial as opposed to just a crazed butcher.

If anyone is interested in Jack the Ripper.

http://www.amazon.com/Portrait-Killer-Jack-Ripper-Closed/dp/0399149325

That book is pretty good and basically lays out it's evidence or theories of who jack the ripper was.

Oh...add me to the list of people interested in serial killers.

Like Ed Gein being the inspiration for the movie physco character norman bates and also partially used in developing leatherface.

I also believe that Ed Gein was one of the very few, if only, of the popular killers that was deemed medically insane.
