It is very easy to sensationalize well-known cases, but Emma never does that. She tells the facts but is also compassionate when necessary. That's why she does brilliant commentary on true crime.
I kid you not... Listening to Ed's childhood gave me chills because it is extremely similar to mine. Grew up on a 600 acre farm, completely alone, my mother was extremely religious and would emotionally and physically abuse me and say "God told her to do it". I was homeschooled K-12, no other children in my day to day life, in fact I was around more dogs in my childhood than people. By college I could count the amount of people I knew on my fingers. Today, I'm a graphic designer with a bachelor's in Graphic Design and Media Arts, happily with the man of my dreams, and learning day by day how to assimilate into society, and despite my debilitating social anxiety...I like people! This I think proves while child abuse can break a child, it is never an excuse for someone to murder someone else. It's not an excuse, it's not something that should be used to give sympathy towards the killer. A killer is a killer. ....full stop. 🤭
He didn't leave the house for uni. He was there into his 30's with his mum. He aso was probably predisposed and so it's not an excuse, it is one of the reasons he became the man he was.
@@Yes_587 yeah there are so many different types of psychopaths. For example. Chris Watts would happily kill his family. But he wouldn't go and make furniture out of their body parts 🥴
When I tell y’all besides Albert Fish (which I hope Emma also covers), Ed Gein is one of the most interesting/fascinating serial killers to me. He inspired a lot of popular movie characters.
@@mj3026 Depraved beyond belief... You must listen about him ,,I guarantee You will want to shower after listening about what type of disgusting animal Fish was...
As always, you are the best creator out there. In terms of everything; well-researched, great storytelling skill set, armed with your knowledge of psychology. It's a perfect combination for Kenny's Crime Cult! And I do adore the "regulars" on your channel; our little family. I just wanted to say that I saw you in an episode of Money, Marry, Murder yesterday afternoon as well. You were wearing a cool looking shirt..maybe it had giraffes on it? I saw you...and all I could do was point at the screen..(whilst thinking in my head..that's "our" cult leader). I know they edit your input to bits and you don't have any control over that, but, your contributions to the topic were the most valid/on point. Let me tell you this, Emma Kenny, she doesn't disappoint. Great cameo, looking forward to more! xxxx from Oregon, USA
The reason why we ask you to cover the ones that been done to death because you always provide some info we didn’t know. I learn something knew about every case you cover even if I’ve heard about it a million times. I know you’re going to provide fresh insight and not regurgitate the same old same and we love that about you!
I really enjoyed your telling of Ed Gein's story. I've seen many videos of Gein, and I think your video brought a unique prospective to his tale. I like your European Academic style telling of his tale. What's shocking about this whole story was how nice Plainfield was. It is a really small town, with good hard-working Christian, law abiding people. I live about 2 hours away from there and have been there twice (I've been to his farm, Bernice Warden murder site, Mary Hogan murder site, his gravesite) and it's amazing to see what a normal small town it was. It is really surreal seeing a town the whole world views a bunch of ghouls, being such a nice place. The people don't bother you at all when you take photos of the places, even though I'm sure they all wish none of that stuff occurred there.
I actually had never heard of this one, I've also never seen the films mentioned that are based on him so I found this super interesting (and incredibly disturbing). So please keep covering cases that you think everyone knows about because not all of us will have and in any event it's always interesting to hear your perspective!
I would love if you did both newer and older, more well known cases. Because you go so deep, I always learn something new, even cases like this one which I have watched the other 1000 true crime videos covering it. Keep up the great work, Emma.
Ed Gein is from my state and a bit of Wisconsin folklore. He's not really a serial killer. He's just Ed. He asked for apple pie with a slice of cheese and then he confessed. He inspired Psycho, Silence of the Lamb and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He was shy and quiet and never knew he inspired all these films.
I think we love you covering more well known cases because you go into so much more detail about the background of the victim and killer and the deep dives you do are such top quality we often hear things we haven't heard by others who cover these cases. And you also provide a professional psychologist and psychotherapist opinion and opinion
This story was so interesting! I've only started watching Emma's videos about 2 weeks ago and have gone through quite a lot of them. This is a story that's really made me emotionally conflicted . . . The things he did were absolutely horrendous. But I also feel sorry for this guy just a bit. I think because he had such a poor upbringing, was so brainwashed by his mother, abused by both his father and mother, not allowed friends, girlfriends, told everyone was evil and sinners. Just makes me feel sorry for him a bit.
I had a very good friend whose family lived in Plainfield during Gein's time. Her great aunt and uncle had buried their baby daughter and the dress the baby was buried in was found in Gein's house. I cannot imagine how they felt.
I know this story well, avid true crime fan for most of my life. I absolutely appreciate your take and in depth insight into this one. Amazing as always.
First time listening about this man, I thought I knew of all most famous serial killers but NO! thank you Emma you’re the best at this kind of content.
Maybe you otta watch the original "Texas Chainsaw". Based on good old ED. This should of been one of the first killers you heard about. You must be a fledgling. Enjoy your journey deeper into the Macabre. It's gonna be one hell of a ride. Just gonna toss this out there for ya as well. The movie Silence of the Lambs also had a Ted Bundy "reference" in it; where Buffalo Bill was trying to load a couch into a van with a cast on his arm. That was a Bundy thing. He used that often, once he was pretending to load a boat onto his car with a fake cast on his arm to lure a woman. Hollywood horror movies have tons of small references to actual real life nasty killers M.O.'s , have fun finding them all. 🤔
No matter how many times we have heard of these cases, i love it when you bring it because we always learn something new and you also bring the psychology aspect into it to us understand their behavior a bit more, thank you for always bringing us suchin depth cases and for your awesome consistency ❤️
When you talked about the full moon it really resonates with me , one of my adult daughters is austisic and does have some behaviour problems and also very smart and can be very anxious, but any time there's a full moon she will behave very strange, not in a harmful way to anyone but becomes extremely anxious and can't sleep walks around the house crying, sometimes I can calm her down by just cuddly her in my bed until she falls asleep, other times I can't, this lasts a couple of days at most ,but I know when there's a full moon coming to just be prepared and her sisters are so good with her too ,I definitely believe in the full moon theory. Love your videos Emma. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
I truly believe the moon has an effect on some people. If the moon can control the tides, and humans are made up of over 60% water, there's scope to believe the moon can effect people too. In my opinion, anyway.
I worked in one of the oldest, most iconic restaurants in my city for eleven years, and I can tell you, most restaurant workers definitely know that the nights of the full Moon can be crazy. Even in so called "posh" restaurants. My younger daughter who is a Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon reacts to the stages of the Moon too. Especially full moon. She wakes up many times during the night and turns around in circles (as kids do,lol! She's nine)even more than usual!
i love your videos. i tend to watch them at night until i fall asleep, not because they are boring, but because your voice is pleasant. I have insomnia due to trauma and cannot sleep in "my own company", so I watch until I fall asleep and start where I fell asleep the next day. I don't know if you've changed the heavy metal scream at the start, but that scream triggers me, my nervous system is damaged so it's a very physical thing for me. i noticed some of your videos don't have it. just felt like saying it. It would help a lot just to have lower sound on that part. Won't stop watching anyway. I "love" graphic details also, you are the best crime story teller. If I die, I hope you tell my story.❤
I absolutely appreciate and respect the amount of research and detail given in every single case that Emma talks about. I love that Emma sits and talks about the backgrounds and every small detail without any ad breaks or pauses! It’s honestly incredible! Emma is straight up and honest with her personal options and gives scenarios to help and connect with us viewers. Your doing a fantastic job and give much needed justice to every case and person affected. I pray those poor officers who saw the horrific sights got some kind of therapy and assistance to cope with what they witnessed. I hope all deceased individuals and victims able to rest in peace not aware of the desecration of their bodies and that the family and friends of them were able to find justice!
Don't worry Emma. Wasn't arson. Poor maintenance burnt it down. Accident. I can 100% swear full moons affect me, studies or no studies. Keep up the fantastic work, best channel I've found yet.
Thank you 🙏🏻 for delivering this in such a light hearted way (your humour was on point girl 🤣👌🏼) coz my brain would have been 🤯 otherwise. Another job well done 👍🏼
Emma, you have a great irony in your speach. It really drives home the extreme & bizarre nature of these perpetrators. Thx V. ps You have a huge catalogue of work here , gosh. It's so well done on your channel. You have dug into so many cases in great detail. Many thanks.
It is a great distraction. Mine is bad ATM because here in Oz it's winter and a lot of my conditions are muscular-skeletal so cold or damp affect them . I find I write massively long comments if my brain can get 'grabbed' by a subject or question, and that's even better than just watching things. It completely absorbs me, time goes faster, and I feel less isolated. Here's hoping all of us watching Emma and not feeling the best have a good day or night. I hope you start feeling more comfortable soon! Hugs from Australia. PS for a change of pace, check out That Chapter. Mike over there is a funny, compassionate Irish guy who often covers less publicised cases.🤗
@@bilindalaw-morley161 yes humidity makes those problems worse. all the best for you too. Mike of course I also watch Mike! He’s funny and vids are very well done. xxxxx
Emma you always give added value to any crime that's why I never tire of your videos even if it's a well known case, I am guaranteed to be surprised 💯👍🏾💜
The amount of films and TV shows he inspired goes to show how effed up he was. I blame his mum, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree 😱 Reality sure is scarier than fiction in this family's case. Looking forward to this one 🍿🤪
It sounds as if his physical impediments (the lesion on the tongue, the growth on the eyelid) could have been easily fixed by medical intervention. Which adds to the tragedy of his childhood. His mother probably felt it was all inflicted by God as a punishment for sin.
Yes! I totally agree. Old Augusta set him up for failure, and that’s no excuse for his behaviour but he really didn’t stand a chance of living a healthy life.
@@BelindatcareyDefinitely. I actually can't imagine a time when she would have been nurturing. My imagination just won't go there. It was almost a cult, albeit a tiny one. Older bro got killed because not only was he trying to leave the cult, he spoke out against the idol.
God I don't know if I'll be able to watch this, just his name has always gave me nightmares. But I will definitely give it a go because I can't think of anyone else better than Emma to narrate it. I wonder if you've considered covering the absolute sheer heartbreaking story if Ellie Butler? I have never cried so hard at a child abuse case as hers as it was utterly preventable, I'm tearing up now thinking about her 😢 💔
@Saffa In London I know, she's as culpable as he is. How she could watch her daughter suffer like she did is beyond my comprehension. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 😢
This guy was clearly cooked. His mother brutalised and manipulated him into her own dutiful, demented soldier. The most distressing part of this case for me, was the Smith guy beating the dog to death. Emma, you didn’t mention anything about his father being unfaithful to his mother, but would say it was likely due to her ‘extreme’ world view. Thank you again for another intriguing video. Your fictitious conversations within your presentation are brilliant.
@@WQ59BInv watched and read a few other books and documentaries on Ed, there is enough information to infer that one of the reasons Mrs. Gein was so against sexual activity and so hard on Ed and his brother, was because she suspected/perceived/believed that Mr. Gein Snr. had been unfaithful. Basically the old ‘penis is evil’ philosophy.
@@TheStoneageRomeo Every account that 'Augusta hated George/sex' is a fabrication out of thin air. And being a 10-12 yr veteran of deep Gein case study, the 'unfaithful' theory is brand, spanking new, let me assure you.
I grew up in a fanatical branch of Christianity. I finally escaped and wow, I feel so bad for the children who grow up with those threats being hurled at them! It’s sick and is a form of child abuse.
Define fanatical . I grew in assembly of God church and though a very strict upbringing we let loose every now and then . I left the church at around mid teens but I am returning for the end times have begun . please look at your options and return . God bless you .
I'm intrigued by you covering Ed Gein 🙂😬🤗. Don't condone his actions but ..... It's so sad how his own mom treated him, if only he could of got the help with his mental health back then , and to be learnt better , all this could of been prevented 🥺😣
I don't know, Augusta being the way she was to prevent the kids from turning out like their dad is sort of like burning down your house to keep the refrigerator from freezing the lettuce.
Hi Emma could you please cover the Jonestown Massacre case at some point? I watched your heavens gate episode it was really good. I'd love your take on Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre. There is loads of info online. Jones's son (who survived all the brainwashing and murder suicide) actually did a documentary on it aswell which gives an even greater insight into it all. U will have heard of it
Emma, I agree that it would be nice to see more unknown cases. I know you’re catering to crime cult requests:) I just want to chime in and say it’s always great to hear the added info you bring to the table but yes, I like to hear newer stories too. Love ya Emma from Jodie in Texas
Just the NAME Ed Gein creeps me RIGHT out. I think the first true crime documentary I ever watched was about Ed Gein. They didn't give nearly as much information about his mom though (from what I remember). While you were talking, it made me wonder if the character of mom in the movie Carrie might have been loosely based on Ed Gein's mom. Ed's mom punished him for masturbating and Carrie's mom punished her and called her sinful when she started her period. Both natural things to happen, both kids were abused as a result of it. Ed's mom was a woman hater and didn't want her boys to lust over women or get involved in any kind of relationship with them, Carrie's mom was a man hater and basically told Carrie the exact same thing about men. I just never saw the parallel before even though I have seen several videos about him.
Love all your videos Emma they are always full of detail, can't wait for your killer next door tour in Blackpool, I know I've asked for a few cases for you to cover but would love it if you could cover the Gianni Versace murderer Andrew Cunanan x
Wow I thought I knew the Ed Gein story all these years but I learned a lot of things from you that I didn't know before and your so good at telling the stories. Thanks Emma 😊
Every coverage of these "classic" cases has new details or different interpretation of the crimes. I find it very interesting to hear different perspectives :)
The reason that lie detector tests don't work on the whole is because they function based on the assumption that people show certain signs of nervousness when lying - e.g., an increased heart rate -, but someone who is a skilled liar/manipulator won't be nervous at all when lying. On the other hand, someone who is afraid that they may be sentenced for a crime they didn't commit might display exactly those signs (panic, fear) and then be considered a liar.
I really did not expect to learn something new here. As a child, this was the first serial killer case I had ever heard of. I soaked in all the known facts, available at that time (mid 80's). This information never mentioned any suspected case, such as the missing babysitter or the jacket found close to his property. Very interesting, Emma. Thank you. Also, I am glad that you mentioned that you read the obituaries as a youth. I did too, and I thought there was something wrong with me, for having done so. Edited to add that, I completely lost my s#it, when you went over the whole, 'Let's hire Ed Gein as a babysitter' proposition. I laughed so much. You made my day!
I wonder if he was less picky about the ages of the bodies depending on what type of "project" he had in mind. Like women resembling his mother for his mom-suit and other age groups for upholstery. What a disgusting thought, I'm so sorry to anyone reading this 😅
Absolutely LOVE your content Emma, and yes that includes the older serial killers like Ed Gein. Have you done one on Maddie? Also hope you feel better soon.
Emma I think your great! Can you please do some less known ones next time cause all the crime UA-camrs seem to be doing the same ones now. I love how in depth you go into the story and I can always trust you to tell us the truth about what happened
You are brilliant at what you do, been watching you since you was on documentaries. I love the left right (convo) thing and I generally agree with what your saying. Your videos bring a human element.
While undoubtedly not his intention, Gein’s case has had as much an impact on modern horror writing and cinema as Bram Stoker or Mary Shelley. As you point out, Psycho, Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs - plus all the stuff that they’ve influenced - are inconceivable without Gein’s “inspiration “. It’s also a case that proved Freud’s ideas that much of life is guided by personal, idiosyncratic, impractical and highly illogical ideas within each person’s mind. Gein’s behavior would be beyond any understanding without looking at it through the lens of psychology.
From what I’ve read about Gein and seen other documentaries about him, he attempted to dig up his mother’s grave but it was too difficult for him so he abandoned it.
Emma I have been travelling and I come back and find this. Wow! And speaking of Chase, can;t wait for your take on him. I am from Sacramento. Chilling.
I can't wait to hear your take on this man Miss Emma Dear. I'd never really seen any videos about him. Never watched any. He was really scary. I felt sorry for the officers that had to go into the house and investigate. Emma I would like to see ur indepth view on baby Brianne Lopez, New Mexico. Please
I think his mother had issues and denial around her own sexuality The lack of education, acceptance and understanding along with societies strong religious leanings of the times must have caused great confusion and internal strife for her She turned even more to religion and a set of strict rules to keep herself in check all the while she still couldn’t contain her despising and distaste of men and ended up married to a weak man Ed’s childhood seems so traumatic and must have had a major effect His mother’s own confusion about her sexuality was certainly imprinted on the boys Ed older brother was presumably not as ill effected by their mother as he still wanted relationships but surely it must have sent them both around the bend to some degree Ed looks going from childhood photos as though he was prone to quite severe acne which may have some bearing on his obsession with skin And Imagine how lonely he must have been to get away with his crimes for over a decade and nobody took the blindest bit of notice of him or what he was about While what he did was despicable it’s also kinda sad that nobody cared enough about him to notice At the end of the day he was an unwell person very unwell person
That pic (almost surely NOT Ed) shows freckles, not acne. That kid looks to be about 8 yrs old. Why would you state Ed's mother had 'sexual identity issues'??? Where did you get that from?
@@WQ59BInv so far you havent provided any type of source for your correct info also how did you get the correct info ? havent you said that every info or accunt is poorly made???????? hhhm your a big stinking liar thats all
Hey Emma! Thrilled to have Recently found you on here! Been binging on your videos and I’m obsessed! May I make a request to hear more about armin meiwes (the German cannibal) please 🙏🏻 😁
Hey Emma, I would love if you covered the case of Jamie Rose Bolin, what happened to her was truly horrific and incredibly scary. I would love to hear your empathetic yet factual explanation of it. It’s a case that haunts me and many other true crime viewers forever.
Will you do the Sylvia likens case it has been done before there are even films but I love your deep dive and your opinions I really think you will do it justice x
Love love love your channel 👍 I’m half way through an audio book by Natalie Queiroz and would love for you to consider the case of Babur Raja of Sutton Coldfield. Keep up with the good work 😊
Personally, I love it when Emma covers well-known cases. She does them justice and includes details that are often overlooked.
It is very easy to sensationalize well-known cases, but Emma never does that. She tells the facts but is also compassionate when necessary. That's why she does brilliant commentary on true crime.
I agree with you both. I love her and she makes me proud to be from Bury too. Kx
No one does it like Emma tbh
@@agapeeternal agreed!! Kx
Yes I agree! Typically when a true crime UA-camr covers a well known case I don’t watch but when Emma does I know I’m going to learn new details.
I kid you not...

I know he did awful AWFUL things, but he is one of the only killers I actually feel some empathy for. His childhood makes me sad for the young him
I agree with you. He may have done awful things, but he was clearly seriously ill. I don't think he understood what he was doing.
I feel somewhat similar for Aileen Wuornos she was just screwed over at every turn by her so called loved ones.

You are the absolute best Emma!! I love your complete attention to detail..psychological as well as physical.
I worked at a prison for a while and during full moons it was always crazy -inmates acted up way more, truthfully; noticeably.

My younger daughter who is a Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon reacts to the stages of the Moon too. Especially full moon. She wakes up many times during the night and turns around in circles (as kids do,lol! She's nine)even more than usual!
i love your videos. i tend to watch them at night until i fall asleep, not because they are boring, but because your voice is pleasant. I have insomnia due to trauma and cannot sleep in "my own company", so I watch until I fall asleep and start where I fell asleep the next day. I don't know if you've changed the heavy metal scream at the start, but that scream triggers me, my nervous system is damaged so it's a very physical thing for me. i noticed some of your videos don't have it. just felt like saying it. It would help a lot just to have lower sound on that part. Won't stop watching anyway. I "love" graphic details also, you are the best crime story teller. If I die, I hope you tell my story.❤
I absolutely appreciate and respect the amount of research and detail given in every single case that Emma talks about. I love that Emma sits and talks about the backgrounds and every small detail without any ad breaks or pauses! It’s honestly incredible!
Emma is straight up and honest with her personal options and gives scenarios to help and connect with us viewers.
Your doing a fantastic job and give much needed justice to every case and person affected.
I pray those poor officers who saw the horrific sights got some kind of therapy and assistance to cope with what they witnessed. I hope all deceased individuals and victims able to rest in peace not aware of the desecration of their bodies and that the family and friends of them were able to find justice!
I know this case inside and out like many do but there were still some tidbits I hadn't heard of. Another great one, Emma.
Don't worry Emma. Wasn't arson. Poor maintenance burnt it down. Accident. I can 100% swear full moons affect me, studies or no studies. Keep up the fantastic work, best channel I've found yet.
Aaah yes!!!! There is so much stuff out there around this monster but I can’t wait to hear your deep dive Emma!! He’s the stuff of nightmares!
Thank you 🙏🏻 for delivering this in such a light hearted way (your humour was on point girl 🤣👌🏼) coz my brain would have been 🤯 otherwise. Another job well done 👍🏼
Emma, you have a great irony in your speach. It really drives home the extreme & bizarre nature of these perpetrators.
Thx
V.
ps
You have a huge catalogue of work here , gosh. It's so well done on your channel.
You have dug into so many cases in great detail. Many thanks.
I thought I knew about this case but I definitely didn't know as much as I thought. Definitely learned a lot more from Emma ❤
having such a bad pain day my chronic pain is playing up today. i am stuck in bed. now i have something to watch to help take my mind of it
)
Same here; Emma’s videos help distract me from the pain a little
It is a great distraction. Mine is bad ATM because here in Oz it's winter and a lot of my conditions are muscular-skeletal so cold or damp affect them . I find I write massively long comments if my brain can get 'grabbed' by a subject or question, and that's even better than just watching things. It completely absorbs me, time goes faster, and I feel less isolated.
Here's hoping all of us watching Emma and not feeling the best have a good day or night. I hope you start feeling more comfortable soon! Hugs from Australia.
PS for a change of pace, check out That Chapter. Mike over there is a funny, compassionate Irish guy who often covers less publicised cases.🤗
@@bilindalaw-morley161 yes humidity makes those problems worse. all the best for you too.
Mike of course I also watch Mike! He’s funny and vids are very well done.
xxxxx
Well done yet again emma 🥰 I could listen to you all day x
Emma you always give added value to any crime that's why I never tire of your videos even if it's a well known case, I am guaranteed to be surprised 💯👍🏾💜
The amount of films and TV shows he inspired goes to show how effed up he was. I blame his mum, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree 😱 Reality sure is scarier than fiction in this family's case. Looking forward to this one 🍿🤪
My supper has just been served so I’m going to have to put this one on hold for a while!
It sounds as if his physical impediments (the lesion on the tongue, the growth on the eyelid) could have been easily fixed by medical intervention. Which adds to the tragedy of his childhood. His mother probably felt it was all inflicted by God as a punishment for sin.
Yes! I totally agree. Old Augusta set him up for failure, and that’s no excuse for his behaviour but he really didn’t stand a chance of living a healthy life.
@@BelindatcareyDefinitely. I actually can't imagine a time when she would have been nurturing. My imagination just won't go there. It was almost a cult, albeit a tiny one. Older bro got killed because not only was he trying to leave the cult, he spoke out against the idol.
God I don't know if I'll be able to watch this, just his name has always gave me nightmares. But I will definitely give it a go because I can't think of anyone else better than Emma to narrate it. I wonder if you've considered covering the absolute sheer heartbreaking story if Ellie Butler? I have never cried so hard at a child abuse case as hers as it was utterly preventable, I'm tearing up now thinking about her 😢 💔
I can watch the serial killers ones no problem, it's the child abuse ones i cannot watch 😢
@Saffa In London I know, she's as culpable as he is. How she could watch her daughter suffer like she did is beyond my comprehension. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 😢
@@sheffieldamanda I completely get you, I literally can’t watch anything that’s about the Turpin family 😓
This guy was clearly cooked. His mother brutalised and manipulated him into her own dutiful, demented soldier. The most distressing part of this case for me, was the Smith guy beating the dog to death. Emma, you didn’t mention anything about his father being unfaithful to his mother, but would say it was likely due to her ‘extreme’ world view. Thank you again for another intriguing video. Your fictitious conversations within your presentation are brilliant.
I totally agree, about Emma's conversations.... Brilliant!! Kx
Where are you getting the 'unfaithful' bit from??
@@WQ59BInv watched and read a few other books and documentaries on Ed, there is enough information to infer that one of the reasons Mrs. Gein was so against sexual activity and so hard on Ed and his brother, was because she suspected/perceived/believed that Mr. Gein Snr. had been unfaithful. Basically the old ‘penis is evil’ philosophy.
@@TheStoneageRomeo Every account that 'Augusta hated George/sex' is a fabrication out of thin air. And being a 10-12 yr veteran of deep Gein case study, the 'unfaithful' theory is brand, spanking new, let me assure you.
I grew up in a fanatical branch of Christianity. I finally escaped and wow, I feel so bad for the children who grow up with those threats being hurled at them! It’s sick and is a form of child abuse.
Define fanatical . I grew in assembly of God church and though a very strict upbringing we let loose every now and then . I left the church at around mid teens but I am returning for the end times have begun . please look at your options and return . God bless you .
WOW Emma! The way you tell these true cases gives me such an insight into the lives of these monsters! Thank you for your amazing delivery 👍👏🙏♥️♥️
I'm intrigued by you covering Ed Gein 🙂😬🤗. Don't condone his actions but ..... It's so sad how his own mom treated him, if only he could of got the help with his mental health back then , and to be learnt better , all this could of been prevented 🥺😣
I don't know, Augusta being the way she was to prevent the kids from turning out like their dad is sort of like burning down your house to keep the refrigerator from freezing the lettuce.
Hi Emma could you please cover the Jonestown Massacre case at some point? I watched your heavens gate episode it was really good. I'd love your take on Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre. There is loads of info online. Jones's son (who survived all the brainwashing and murder suicide) actually did a documentary on it aswell which gives an even greater insight into it all. U will have heard of it
Thank you Emma. I really, really, enjoyed this one. Xx
I'm so looking forward to this. Its going to be another great one from the best in the business!!!
Love your sarcasm Emma!! Truly makes this stuff real, to me!! Your directional questions are brilliant!! Kx
Emma, I agree that it would be nice to see more unknown cases. I know you’re catering to crime cult requests:) I just want to chime in and say it’s always great to hear the added info you bring to the table but yes, I like to hear newer stories too. Love ya Emma from Jodie in Texas
Already heard about this case but I really wanted to hear your input about it. Thanks Emma!
Just the NAME Ed Gein creeps me RIGHT out. I think the first true crime documentary I ever watched was about Ed Gein. They didn't give nearly as much information about his mom though (from what I remember). While you were talking, it made me wonder if the character of mom in the movie Carrie might have been loosely based on Ed Gein's mom. Ed's mom punished him for masturbating and Carrie's mom punished her and called her sinful when she started her period. Both natural things to happen, both kids were abused as a result of it. Ed's mom was a woman hater and didn't want her boys to lust over women or get involved in any kind of relationship with them, Carrie's mom was a man hater and basically told Carrie the exact same thing about men. I just never saw the parallel before even though I have seen several videos about him.
Love all your videos Emma they are always full of detail, can't wait for your killer next door tour in Blackpool, I know I've asked for a few cases for you to cover but would love it if you could cover the Gianni Versace murderer Andrew Cunanan x
Doing a great job on this one. As many times I've heard about Ed I've never heard about his youth.
"A revelation that lasts a lifetime" by far your best line ever. I'm still laughing 5 minutes later.
Brilliantly covered as always Emma. Could you cover the Chicken Coop killer?
Great video as always. Have you considered covering the April Jones case?
Thank you Emma for the consistency 👏🏻 I’m looking forward to listening to this tonight while I grocery shop. 😊
Best crime channel on ytube, l love it how you see describe the mind of the killer, his background starts usual with abuse at home at young age.
Wow I thought I knew the Ed Gein story all these years but I learned a lot of things from you that I didn't know before and your so good at telling the stories.
Thanks Emma 😊
Every coverage of these "classic" cases has new details or different interpretation of the crimes. I find it very interesting to hear different perspectives :)
As usual a new perspective, didn't realise just how much his mother influenced him..and selling his stuff to sideshows, freaky, thank you
Brilliant and interesting as always Emma , thank you .
Please please please cover Albert Fish!!!! He’s horrific 🤯
Don't worry she's done him and it's really in depth ❤❤❤
Thanks em. Take care everyone.
The reason that lie detector tests don't work on the whole is because they function based on the assumption that people show certain signs of nervousness when lying - e.g., an increased heart rate -, but someone who is a skilled liar/manipulator won't be nervous at all when lying. On the other hand, someone who is afraid that they may be sentenced for a crime they didn't commit might display exactly those signs (panic, fear) and then be considered a liar.
You do the BEST deep dives Em. You are the queen!! Thank you my darlin. Much luv ♥️🥇✨💐😍
I really did not expect to learn something new here. As a child, this was the first serial killer case I had ever heard of.
I soaked in all the known facts, available at that time (mid 80's). This information never mentioned any suspected case, such as the missing babysitter or the jacket found close to his property. Very interesting, Emma. Thank you.
Also, I am glad that you mentioned that you read the obituaries as a youth. I did too, and I thought there was something wrong with me, for having done so.
Edited to add that, I completely lost my s#it, when you went over the whole, 'Let's hire Ed Gein as a babysitter' proposition. I laughed so much. You made my day!
I wonder if he was less picky about the ages of the bodies depending on what type of "project" he had in mind. Like women resembling his mother for his mom-suit and other age groups for upholstery. What a disgusting thought, I'm so sorry to anyone reading this 😅
you!! you made me start wondering the same thing lol
Absolutely LOVE your content Emma, and yes that includes the older serial killers like Ed Gein.
Have you done one on Maddie?
Also hope you feel better soon.
OMFG 🤣…the music at the start always makes me jump !
I was hoping you’d do this one! Can’t wait!
Love this channel. It’s like really warped Jackanory. Omg just thought of a great name for a true crime channel - Jackangory!
Emma I think your great! Can you please do some less known ones next time cause all the crime UA-camrs seem to be doing the same ones now. I love how in depth you go into the story and I can always trust you to tell us the truth about what happened
Can’t wait for this one!! Not sure what that says about me 🤷♀️
You are brilliant at what you do, been watching you since you was on documentaries. I love the left right (convo) thing and I generally agree with what your saying. Your videos bring a human element.
While undoubtedly not his intention, Gein’s case has had as much an impact on modern horror writing and cinema as Bram Stoker or Mary Shelley. As you point out, Psycho, Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs - plus all the stuff that they’ve influenced -
are inconceivable without Gein’s “inspiration “.
It’s also a case that proved Freud’s ideas that much of life is guided by personal, idiosyncratic, impractical and highly illogical ideas within each person’s mind.
Gein’s behavior would be beyond any understanding without looking at it through the lens of psychology.
This was the best summary of this psycho thank you really enjoyed it
From what I’ve read about Gein and seen other documentaries about him, he attempted to dig up his mother’s grave but it was too difficult for him so he abandoned it.
He never attempted that.
Emma I have been travelling and I come back and find this. Wow! And speaking of Chase, can;t wait for your take on him. I am from Sacramento. Chilling.
I can't wait to hear your take on this man Miss Emma Dear.
I'd never really seen any videos about him. Never watched any. He was really scary. I felt sorry for the officers that had to go into the house and investigate.
Emma I would like to see ur indepth view on baby Brianne Lopez, New Mexico. Please
I had never heard of this guy but wow that’s a crazy story. Love your documentaries Emma
Imagine the police who stumbled across the crime scene. Jeez.. looking forward Emma x
A monster raised by a monster. Great to hear your take on it all Emma, 🙏
Can you please do Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka…. That would be a great one x
I think his mother had issues and denial around her own sexuality
The lack of education, acceptance and understanding along with societies strong religious leanings of the times must have caused great confusion and internal strife for her
She turned even more to religion and a set of strict rules to keep herself in check all the while she still couldn’t contain her despising and distaste of men and ended up married to a weak man
Ed’s childhood seems so traumatic and must have had a major effect
His mother’s own confusion about her sexuality was certainly imprinted on the boys Ed older brother was presumably not as ill effected by their mother as he still wanted relationships but surely it must have sent them both around the bend to some degree
Ed looks going from childhood photos as though he was prone to quite severe acne which may have some bearing on his obsession with skin
And
Imagine how lonely he must have been to get away with his crimes for over a decade and nobody took the blindest bit of notice of him or what he was about
While what he did was despicable it’s also kinda sad that nobody cared enough about him to notice
At the end of the day he was an unwell person very unwell person
That pic (almost surely NOT Ed) shows freckles, not acne. That kid looks to be about 8 yrs old.
Why would you state Ed's mother had 'sexual identity issues'??? Where did you get that from?
@@WQ59BInv so far you havent provided any type of source for your correct info also how did you get the correct info ? havent you said that every info or accunt is poorly made???????? hhhm your a big stinking liar thats all
The most Complete Horror (true life) criminal case I’ve ever heard of Emma.
Love your content gets me through a monotonous shift quite enjoyably tx
Hey Emma! Thrilled to have Recently found you on here! Been binging on your videos and I’m obsessed!
May I make a request to hear more about armin meiwes (the German cannibal) please 🙏🏻 😁
Please do your own series! You’re different to anyone else who does crime ❤️
I’ve actually appeared in over 170 crime series but never really had my own. Watch this space though my lovely xxx
Here we go. Wine chilled, everything done. Let's go.
Hey Emma, I would love if you covered the case of Jamie Rose Bolin, what happened to her was truly horrific and incredibly scary. I would love to hear your empathetic yet factual explanation of it. It’s a case that haunts me and many other true crime viewers forever.
Will you do the Sylvia likens case it has been done before there are even films but I love your deep dive and your opinions I really think you will do it justice x
Really looking forward to this one!!!!
Im 100% addicted to Emma Kenny!
Love love love your channel 👍 I’m half way through an audio book by Natalie Queiroz and would love for you to consider the case of Babur Raja of Sutton Coldfield. Keep up with the good work 😊
He was such a cute little boy and actually not a bad looking young man. It is so sad his life turned out the way it did.
