Supernatural!

From scouring the internet and various written works I have stumbled across an idea that is of the utmost bizzare. The serial killer is held aloft on a pedestal in the center of modern popular culture and, by sifting through various internet blogs I have found that he is even held in reverance by some of the people who write on there. Added to this there are even some who believe him to be of supernatural origin, hence his constant evasiveness ultimately making him able to elude the authorities altogether.
Some say he had powers, some say that he was a vampire, some even say that he was an alien, and some, some say that he is still alive and well today. But, for me at least, the best rumour ever was posted on some blog or another I found whilst researching The Stand, it stated that the Man In Black, Randall Flagg was Jack the Ripper. It is unbelieveable how one serial killer from so long ago has managed to create such a fan following, such a status in modern civilisation. However, it is supposed that because of the nature of his crimes that he gave birth to the 'modern' serial killer, so I suppose in that respect it's no wonder, he's like a prophet that all those alike him can follow. (How nice for them).
