Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols Murdered on 31st August
Child of Edward and Caroline Walker, married to William Nicholls who she had 5 children with, theirs was a shaky marriage with numerous separations,

When Mary left William the final time she ended up living with her father between 24th March and 21st May 1883 and they argued often over the amount she drank. It did seem Mary cleaned herself up when she entered a relationship with Thomas Drew, a blacksmith. When her brother died in 1886 she attended his funeral, Mary was described as being sober and looking respectfully dressed. However when this relationship ended, Polly seemed to struggle.
On the 30th August Mary Ann was out working and was seen around 11pm with a man, she was then found by a carter at 3.40am on the 31st August, dead.
Mary Ann's throat was slashed so deeply the head was nearly severed, 5 teeth were missing and her abdomen was brutally ripped open from the breast bone leaving her intestines exposed. He legs were open and her skirts round her waist and her arms by her side. The carter straightened her legs and put her skirt back down to protect her modesty.
It was confirmed that she was killed where she was found, but none of the occupants of houses near by heard anything at all.
At Mary Ann's inquest her father said "She had no enemies, she was too good for that" and other seem to back that up with even her room-mate saying she was a quiet girl who kept herself to herself.
There are a few stories relating the Whitechapel murder victims haunting the locations where they died, why not take the Jack the ripper tour and walk the streets that Jack the Ripper Walked, see if you can reveal who Jack the Ripper was or why he killed his victims, maybe you will see the ghost of Jack the Ripper while walking with Jack the ripper walks!
