This is the moment an urban explorer retraces the steps of the Yorkshire Ripper, in the exact flat where the killer brutally murdered his fourth victim. Watch below:

Louis Davison - better known as Dee - visited the abandoned block of flats in Bradford, UK, last weekend (24 July) and discovered that the flat belonging to Patricia Atkinson was the only one left intact.

The flat is the exact place where Peter Sutcliffe - otherwise known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper' - killed Patricia with a claw-hammer after hitting her on the back of the head with four blows.

He continued to hit her as well as stabbing her six times in the stomach, with further attempts on her back and the left side of her body.

In his harrowing confession, Sutcliffe - who died in November last year after contracting coronavirus - said: "She told me she lived alone. I parked up outside her flat and she got out and went in. I picked up a hammer as I got out of the car."

He went on to add: "I followed her into the flat, she closed the curtains, and I hung my coat on the hook on the back of the door.

"She took her coat off and sat on the bed, her back was slightly towards me. I went up to her and hit her on the back of the head with the hammer."

After visiting the flat - which is due to be demolished soon - Dee told LADbible: "I decided to visit with hopes to find the room Patricia was killed in, I love connecting with history and picturing the rooms as they would have been back in the day.

"The flats themselves are pretty bare, but the only flat inside there with the original walls is number 3 - the flat we were looking for."

Creepy, right? To make things even worse, on the day Dee went to the flats, the weather in the UK was scorching but he claimed that the flat was 'cold'.

He added: "The flat itself was creepy - just standing there and knowing what had happened and reading the news articles about what happened made me take it more seriously.

"It made me a little dizzy at times and definitely put me on edge,' just knowing this is where the Yorkshire ripper committed one of his crimes."

Dee went on to explain that he heard some 'voices' in the building, saying: "We couldn't see anyone - I'm not saying they're haunted but there's a good chance.

"To visit one of the UK's most notorious crime location is mind blowing to me."
