Jack The Ripper

Do you know when Jack the Ripper wreaked havoc in London? The serial killer was the man responsible for the murders of prostitutes in the East End back in the 19th century. What made the story even more morbid would be that he would rip out their throats and stomachs. Sadly, no one has ever been convicted of crimes. People would confess to it, but journalists would later find out that these were simply hoaxes. The police had not figured out his true identity even to this day! It remains a mystery.

Odysseus

Also called Ulysses, Odysseus is the hero of “The Odyssey.” He spent years on the sea in his attempt to go home after the end of the Trojan war. People have called into question the legitimacy of his stories, but archaeological proof might actually support that they happened. An archaeologist found the remains of a three-story building and a well that both date back to the 8th century BC. It aligns with what we know of those adventures, so it is possible that they really did happen.
