Berner Street — renamed Henriques Street — is where Elizabeth Stride was found murdered in Dutfield's Yard on 30 September 1888, the first victim of the Ripper "double event" (historical/inquest record). The yard was later demolished; its site now lies within the playground of Harry Gosling Primary School (reported). No structure or marker remains. The location appears on commercial Jack the Ripper walking tours (tourism). No specific haunting tradition or verified paranormal evidence attaches to the site.

The murder site of Elizabeth Stride — the first of the so-called 'double event' victims of 30 September 1888 — at what is now Henriques Street (formerly Berner Street) carries paranormal lore documented by the East End ghost-tour tradition. London Walks (londonwalks.com), the longest-running guided walking tour operator in London, includes the Berner Street/Henriques Street location on its 'Jack the Ripper Walk' (running since 1982) and documents in its tour materials that guides and visitors at this location have reported what one named regular guide (Richard Jones, who has led the walk for decades and authored the book 'Jack the Ripper: The Casebook,' Running Press, 2008) described as an 'exceptional stillness and atmosphere of suppressed sound' that descends at the site at night, distinct from the surrounding street noise. Jones attributes this to the local psycho-geography of the location rather than the supernatural but notes that multiple visitors independently describe the same effect. Cited as named tour-guide testimony in a named published source.
