Every single psycho video: “things like this just never happen in small towns.”
Haha right😂
Riiiiiight 🙄🥴🤦🏽♀️
YEAH LOL! This happens only in small towns lol
Shit seems to exclusively happen in small towns, stay the fuck out of small towns folks. 😂
@@JKaiserable LoL lmao 🤣
Ok yeah he killed a bunch of people and used them as decorations... but who the heck puts cheese on a piece of apple pie.... completely psycho
don't knock it til you try it.
Sharp cheddar.
Once upon a time.It was the law in WI. That Apple pie was to be served with cheese...uh huh
He didn't kill a bunch of people, he did kill AT LEAST 2 women, but then participated in he act of constant grave-robbing, as to "stop himself" from killing.
@@tracymiller4336 it is likely, but unfortunately there's no way to be sure.
From the countless times I've heard defenses for insanity, this is the first time I really believe it. His mind was his real sentence.
So sad and alone. I think he was really hurting. You're right his mind was his sentence.
sociopath vs psychopath
a sociopath doesn't have any emotional stop sign and does anything that makes them feel good regardless of others.
a psychopath believes he's doing good thing when their actions are the opposite.
ed gein is a sociopath, so they let a perverted man get away with his sociopathic actions.
all that he did was self-fulfilling a sexual desire called procreation his mind's only fault is he couldnt consummate marriage or small talk so he took what he wanted, instead.
I think Jeffrey dahmer was insane too they just put him In prison on purpose to let him suffer for what he did
My question is how do you plead insanity. No sane person does something like this, so obviously he's insane. Look at Ted Bundy. Again, sane people don't do that
You guys would believe about anything a dvmbass with a tie would say lmfao
Imagine being an actor and your “breakout” role is as an Ed Gein lookalike reenactment actor…
LOL
Typecast forever.
Hahahaha!
Classic
there 2 actors that played him both were good at playing him
Just imagine the absolute horror of walking by a farmhouse at night and seeing the owner walking around dressed in human skin😱,i would probably piss myself.
I would probably vomit and faint upon the realization of what I was looking at. That's just a peak level of human madness that mere mortals can't fathom.
I don't get scared easily but that's some terrifying shit.
What’s wrong with wearing a skin suit?
@@RazPerignon it's call stealing someone identity literally 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 on God, everybody swear they would do this and that.... The average person would freeze probably, especially once they noticed what it was 😂😂😂
She talks about how fascination with cases like this is "wound culture" which is that we are drawn to the suffering of other people. I could not disagree more. The suffering of other people is what I don't like about serial killer documentaries. I am interested because I am fascinated by the killers themselves. Not in a positive way, but out of wanting to understand how someone could be able to do such things. And I don't think I am alone with that kind of thought process.
I believe that it's both. Some of us want to understand the dark motivations of killers, others are just drawn to human suffering. They want to focus on the pain, suffering and brutal fate of another human being. Perhaps living that dark part of the human nature through the killers actions, without engaging in the act themselves.
Yeah I agree with you. I'll ask myself, "how can anyone do these things to another person"?
Its a mix. No doubt people are fascinated and interested in suffering of others. Its why gore sells and people spend thousands for souvenirs from murderers. Its also a way for us to cope with our own struggles, because seeing horrific scenes and horror documentaries makes our lives seem relatively blissful. People are attracted alot of really horrific things. That isnt in question. The reasons people are attracted to those things change from person to person. Its called morbid curiosity.
I've been exposed to more examples of narcissism than I care to talk about; I'm more interested in seeing just how far people with personality disorders can go to satisfy their egos. I see these as cautionary tales.
@@YemYum I'll never spend a single penny on any sort of memorabilia like that. I don't want any souvenirs like that. I don't know why anyone else would either. It's a suck fascination that anyone would want something like that.
My grandfather lived next door to him at one point and remembers his mother never letting him play and always yelling at him. Very strange when u know this was that close to your life. That one of my family members actually knew him.
Yeah well my ex-girlfriend knew a guy who’s little brother’s girlfriend’s friend blew this guy back in the day..
@@virginiamonroe38 it wasn’t my Grandfather. It was my ex-girlfriend who knew a guy and it was his little brother’s girlfriend’s friend
This is amazing. What is your grandfather's name? Im doing extensive research on Ed Gein. Im always excited to come across information like this.
Well, I'm thinking, since the psychoanalyst thinks he was born evil, that his mother yelled at him controlled him in order to do damage control, telling him how bad the world was in order to limit contact with other people as she knew what he was capable of, and strict religious rules was the only way she knew how to handle her deranged boy.
My grandma was actually once dating Ed Gein and later died to Ted Bundy and got eaten by Jeffrey Dahmer!
I feel terrible for the sheriff who arrested him. I mean can you imagine one day, you are doing your job like any day, you enter a house and you are traumatised forever. Your heart cant take it after a few years and you die. Like, there is no warning, no nothing.. just boom, heart failure causing trauma.
That was ELEVEN years later. Not seeing a direct link.
@@WQ59BInv too bad
Ed had two things in common with many psycho killers: an absent father and a controlling mother.
It’s either the father was a absent or mercilessly beat the kid.
Actually, his father WASN'T absent. He was a grocery store owner who threw away his life by gambling his business earnings on booze while in the prime of his life. Ed's parents never divorced because it was against their family's religion despite the fact that both George and Augusta Gein grew to hate each other later in their marriage.
@@kryptonianpowers Sometimes, it's actually worse if the father doesn't leave.
Voice Of Experience here.
Nurture
@@carrieannesoucier6101 I dont agree with that completely. Genetics is VERY important. You could put another kid I the exact same situation, and he would grow up and not murder. Like Ed's brother that Ed killed. He most likely never killed anyone, yet had the same choldhood.
Just goes to show that parents can make a monster.
*exactly. look past ed to his mother to see the real asshole.*
So can religion....
@@ProudBostonian It's still a parent or an older that will teach you that.
@@DjSubstain You’re absolutely right
Parents can make a monster but society now a days is equally as guilty sometimes. Outside influences and other ppl sabatoging another's parenting??? Let's not point fingers, rather try to fix the problem. Right??
Ironic that Ed's monstrous mother forced the family to move away from her perception of "evil" in LaCrosse and ended up delivering evil to the unsuspecting town they moved to.
his oedipus complex was what killed that town.
like any other women his mother simple existed.
his sexual deviance for his mother killed 40 women.
don't be a f----, ed.
This is honestly the only plea of insanity I've ever seen that I actually believe
True
Forensic Psychologist Helen Morrison when she said that he (Ed) was born pure evil just tells me she's in the wrong field of work.
Nobody is BORN EVIL, that is soo stupid!
Exactly. Im don't get me wrong he was a danger and a threat to society but I don't think he was born evil either. I also don't think his mother was a narcissist either I just believe she was a fanatic that had some issues of her own narcissism not being one of them.
My experience has been that narcissists are not religious people, at least not until later in life
Yeah, she has a lot of cold takes that are inappropriate for a psychologist.
Exactly
I do believe there are people out there that are just plain evil (for little to no reason) like Ted Bundy but there are also people where in their case you would wonder “If they were in different circumstances would they have been the monster we know?” Like Mary Bell for example.
OMG could do just imagine the level of horror and nausea those police men experienced when they entered that house of horrors???
Honestly you can't, and hopefully never happen again.
I feel utterly disgusted of what he did to his victims! 🤢🤮
@@kingchrystia1417 Except it did, at Jefferey Dahmer's house. Veteran cops opened his fridge, & ran out & puked in the hall.

"She Isn't Missing. She's At The Farm Right Now." ⚰💀
I'm a fully functional 30 something man and will most definitely be crying like a small child when my mother passes. That was a stupid example.
Me personally meh. I mean any sadness will be because of her hold on me. I am glad if you enjoyed a relationship based on mutual respect instead of dominance.
We're all scared of you now
Right?? Wow…
Everyone handles griff in their own way. There is nothing wrong with that.
I had an abusive narcissistic mother and when she died a couple of years ago, I did cry like a baby (I was 45) after hearing the news. It was emotion from every direction. From losing someone that was a part of my entire life, the end of the emotional abuse and a sadness that things couldn’t have been different. But Ed Gein cried like a baby at her funeral. That’s usually a few days after someone’s death. After a few days, most of us who lose an older parent come to terms with it and it’s usually something we expected as well. The point is, Ed never got over the death of his mother and remained obsessed. I am still sad about my parents’ deaths, my father especially as he was my protector and the one who showed unconditional love, but beyond sadness after this amount of time, more would be abnormal I would think.
It’s interesting how much an influence a persons childhood has on ones future. Sometimes they can change people for the better and others for the worse ......
ABSOLUTELY.SOME RELIGION AND FANATICISM AND NO NORMAL SOCIAL LIFE ESPECIALLY DURING GROWING UP YEARS CAN DICTATE PERSONALITY DISORDERS. BRAIN WASH IS VERY REAL.

His parents played a big role turning him into a psychopath.
Psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made
How so?
@@dany-922 ... meh. Nope.
Its called choices!! He CHOSE to be evil!!
The biggest culprit is, as it usually is....RELIGION!!!
"We used to see Ed occasionally. I'd see him around town and then he was always a friendly person, quiet, friendly, usually had a joke to tell. He always had time to say hello and ask after how you were." That sounds like regular Wisconsin small talk to me. I think Ed was socially savvy enough to play the part of a regular Plainsfield town person.
Obviously I feel bad for his victims, but I also feel bad for those that had to investigate that house of horrors. I can’t imagine the disturbing shit they saw and given the time period, I doubt they got the help they needed. Probably a lot of alcohol to try and forget what they saw.
Ed Gein was surely the most disturbed, creepy and bizarre serial killer there’s ever been.
Can you just imagine being inside that dark and isolated house of horrors, the worst nightmare a person could ever experience!
Technically, not a serial killer. He only killed 2 people. Although, you can make a strong case that he ultimately would have become one, if not caught.
Oh yeah? What about Ted Bundy?
@@conchobar Altho he may have killed his brother, which makes 3.
@@LarzGustafsson ted bundy wasn't really that brutal
@@hats9096 ted cut a womans head off with a hacksaw. thats brutal to me
This is EXACTLY the type of crime I would expect from a small town. This type of bizarre, loner, depraved nonsense could only happen in the middle of nowhere by a dude with a crazy mom who didn’t let him have friends.
Agreed. I think its telling the mother especially wanted to isolate her children. And the father had a part in it, even if it was his lack of motivation, etc. Both got something out of it. It takes two to tango. Always more than we'll ever know really. We don't' know exactly what happened with that family.
"nonsense" ? Mom most likely was schizophrenia. Genetically Ed was about 30% likely to develop it. This mentally ill mother ingrained in him mentally ill behaviors/beliefs. Trained him. In isolation, where no one is noticed. Hiding in plain sight. Nonsense? How about victimized from birth, crazy in training. If mom had TB, kept him home and infected him with it and then he infects others, that's crazy, ignorant, dangerous, but invisible in isolation. Lives lost, mom, brother, Ed. And all those women. Tragedy. But not nonsense.
So how would you, with your high-level intelligence and so much life experience, explain a killer like BTK and many others like him?
@ would you not agree that each situation should be evaluated on its own merit? I assume that the attorneys, legal folks, medical and psychological professionals put forth their own opinions of nature, nurture.
Is it bad that out of this whole documentary, the cheese on apple pie grossed me out the most?
Imagine a grown man crying at his Mom's funeral.
I mean it is downright human nature and a normal response to grief. I can't believe he acted this way.
That lady says some questionable stuff lol..
“He was absolutely wailing like a child” I mean what the fuck else was he supposed to do 😂😂
How dare he cry at his mom's funeral. They should have shot that monster right there and then 😂😂
That lady gives me sociopathic vibes
Oh my god, someone mourning their mother, what a psychopath! /s
But for real, this lady needs to CHILL. Yes, Gein committed horrendous atrocities, and we shouldn’t shy away from that, but insulting and infantalizing a mentally deranged individual makes you just as bad as the deranged individual.
As norman bates once said
Its perfectly natural for a son to love his mother
Gein was in fact inspiration for that character!
Psycho/Bates Motel
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Silence of the Lambs
All three franchises were inspired by this guy and makes the characters from the films even more terrifying
The See No Evil movies
Umm. I thought Texas Chainsaw Massacre actually happened. Did they use Gein character as one of the killers in the movie?

Let this be a lesson to everyone watching.
Mother doesn’t always know best.
Children need love.
They don’t need complete domination, never ending discipline, and coldness.
I agree with you yes his father was alcoholic and violet but I think his mother ruined him completely
People used to raise their kids as though not humans. Seen and not heard. Spare the rod spoil the child. This guys mom took it to a level that seems super extreme today but was only a few steps stricter than a lot of other folks back then.

He brutally dismembered and mutilated bodies. The fact that you "feel bad" for him is disgusting. I swear you see any white man whose mom was mean and instantly offer him all the compassion in the world, but not for any of his victims. This shit is so weird.

Are we all living the same life
I listen while cleaning, sewing, and even drifting off to sleep.
I noticed something too. His eyes. They look very cold and at the same time pleading for some affection.
I think he grew cold and colder after seeing people die all around him that he associated death with love. Since those who were close to him all left him via death.
That's a good point. He was never allowed to get close to people and could never develop good social skills so people thought he was odd and probably didn't want to socialize with him.
His moon is in Sagittarius ♐️. They can be very cold people once their is no affection or happiness around them.
My 90 year old grandma likes to think horrible murders didn’t start happening until recently, but this story proves that wrong. We just hear about more crime now because of the internet/tv.
Ignorance is bliss
My family lived close to Plainfield in the late fifties and early sixties, my parents use to tell the story about when they stopped at a bar on the outskirts of Plainfield wisconsin . And Ed would bring sausage to the bar for the patrons of the bar to eat .
Those are exactly the things that happen in small towns!
What kind of small towns, mine's boring as hell
@@bentramer682 So was Plainfield, until November 1957.
Uh no.
Happens everywhere
Those things and tremendously worse also happened in Aztec cities.
I've always felt sorry for Ed Gein. His mother was a straight up, manipulative, controlling narcissist. She implanted the idea that women were dirty so that he could stay with her forever, she sabotaged him. He couldn't develop healthy relationships because she warped his perception of people and he listened to his mother because he loved her even though she was the cause of his misery. I wouldn't be suprised if the mother did have something to do with her son Henry's death.
I want to wear your skin
Lol jenkem
And what made his mother a crazy person? Her crazy religious beliefs!! That seems to be lost on everyone.

@@petmomful2260 The beliefs and the beatings from her fanatical father!
I have seen some stories but this guy takes the cake. True, he didn't have many victims but what he did to them in that short time will forever go down in history.
It’s kinda like Judge Holden from Blood Meridian. While he can’t really destroy planets or wipeout the universe, what makes him the most evil character in fiction is how he thinks, how he views human life, and the absolute deplorable actions he does.

Pretty simple sadly.. You don't recover, ever.
A lampshade made of human skin... and GLOVES OF ACTUAL HUMAN HANDS??? This is truly a taxidermy phenom with incredible potential. If only he could have landed a job working with dead birds in a coastal northwestern town. Things would have turned out just fine.
Liek Jeffrey dahmer was good at taxidermy .. but it spiralled into evil
Clue....Concentration camp female guard/ guards made lampshades as well. Not an original with this excrement
Wisconsin is huge on fishing and hunting. Plenty of taxidermy work was waiting for him, but.....
There should be some questioning of some of these "items" found. Like the lamp shades. The guy didn't even have electricity, what use does he have for an electric lamp let alone a lamp shade.
That one forensic guy with the glasses ended everything he told us in an upward tone. It was so annoying. Lol
I don't know much about Gein so this is really interesting. He looks like he's on uppers. He looks crazy. ❤
I wonder if he was able to successfully get his mother out of her grave and back to the house, if he would have actually just been happy with that and stopped there…. It feels like he was so angry he actually couldn’t physically get to her body, considering the concrete slab where her grave just randomly happened to be located, and thats why he started to try to rebuild her.
Damn 🤯
They said he couldn't get to her why he built a skin suit
When the media asked what kind of a man...the man said "he was nice...just like everybody else" Better check his house too
You cant be serious can you? Prior to most killer being caught they are generally seen as nice n normal, example Ted Bundy.

How on earth did the cemetery keepers not notice that graves were being dug up during all that time???
I wondered that as well, but then they said he read the papers, and dug them up while still fresh and soft. So the ground already looked messed up. Then he refilled them.
in such a small town cemeteries aren't really patrolled or anything, besides mowing the grass
I read the police knew someone was digging up graves.
I like how they used a 90 year old actor to portray a 33 year old Ed.
I remember when I first saw the photo of this guy as a kid. My first thought was "He looks like a nice guy!" And you gotta think, he was very popular locally as a babysitter. I mean...PEOPLE TRUSTED HIM WITH THEIR CHILDREN!
I thought the same he looks normal but I wonder what his interactions with others were like, it was a different era maybe today people would see red flags, who knows
I'm a HUGE True Crime fan and just discovered this channel. I love it! Keep up the good work! 👍 from New York.

I feel really sorry for Ed because of that extreme loneliness he must have experienced as a child. I don't think that he was evil, as the one woman said. I do believe that he had severe mental illness. Someone close to me has schizophrenia and we were told that every time they stop taking their meds, because they have decided they are well, they will eventually become totally psychotic and be committed to a mental health facility. Incredibly sad.
The only true comment.its sad people mix together sickness with evil as the same
I agree with you. Ed gein is different than “serial killers” and “evil killers”... he was alienated, had head injury in childhood, dominated by a narcissistic mother. He was emotionally stunted, fought personal demons. Nowadays people are surrounded by information, counselling resources in school and medication is accessible.

Definitely... Nice name btw..
body farms are j as horrid as this the onyl difference is 1 of them are consensual
During the summer of 1960, I and 2 other college guys spent 2 months in Plainfield. It had been 5 years since the hardware store killing. There was a tavern and a restaurant which we went to. Friday night all the farmers came to town. We worked on County Trunk P. We stopped at just about every farmhouse to ask for water. Those farmers were a strange bunch and we were often wondering if the Gein curse was on them all. Rumer had it that the volunteer fire dept. burnt the Gein house down one night in about 1957. There was no motel and us 3 boarded at a private house. Across the street was an empty lot where a tent and preacher set up a bible pounding for one week. One night I was listening as the bunch yelled Halleyah and Praise Be. It sounded completely hysterical and insane. 10 minutes later the bunch left the tent quiet and sober. Crazy place.
That’s Wisconsin for ya
I don't know if we should honor him for inspiring so many horror films , or condemn him, how many of us would walk down the same road if we had Eds mother??!!
I would not want that WITCH as my mother! she was a monster from hell! and as for Eddie my heart breaks for him he could of had a normal life and possible help with his mental problems if he had lived in our time. I'm not excusing what he did I just think he desperately needed a ton of love and help. Im a woman and God have mercy upon his soul and that of his victims.
Are you serious? You'd considering honoring a killer because he added some DVD's to your movie list? You are one sick son of a bitch my friend.
exactly dude like it feels weird like we are idolizeing him but he is what makes these horror movies come about so i mean shit man
really though, i think she was the real reason he ended up like that. had she been normal and given him a proper mother-son relationship he would’ve been a pretty decent dude. parents can really make or break you..
I went through some shit growing up, have pure ocd and was and am still a complete recluse. But never do I imagine myself hurting innocents or loved ones

Not only the tone of voice, but he made tons of weird deep inhaling and saliva noises. It's like the utter opposite of ASMR, made the documentary almost unwatchable tbh.

One of the rare truly insane killer, Gein was not competent to stand trial and therefore should not be labelled as evil.
What he did was evil
Seriously?
I lived in Wisconsin for two years. One of my older co-workers told me that when she was school age, her older brother would drive her back and forth to school. They would always pass a large building with a fenced in yard. There was often a nice old man in the yard who was walking or raking leaves. He would smile and wave to them as they passed by. When she grew up, she came across news articles with pictures and realized that nice old man had been Ed Gein and the building was his mental hospital.
Apparently, Augusta Gein “dreamed” of having a girl back in 1906, and when she had Ed, she wanted to raise him differently 😳
She pushed her ideas of a daughter onto Edward! she was a religious fanatic nutcase and a monster to boot for what she and that revolting husband did to the boys. she hated humanity! I don't think she had anything good about her! and I'm a woman too! im not excusing the crimes!

Because of his insanity judgment, his court records were to remain sealed until his demise. After his death many details were exposed. A few of the more interesting ones were that in other nearby towns there were fairly recent cases of missing young girls.. Also there had been sightings of a man in a white ford following girls home from school..
When his farm was searched police found a white ford hidden under bales of hay, in one of the out-buildings. The car was registered to a transient that had befriended Mr Gein. He had also gone missing.
Police also found the exact clothing from the missing girls, neatly stored in Ed's house.
Under his bed was box of womens genitals. Two of which were from young girls that showed no evidence of the embalming process. The presiding Judge , I believe his name was William Arndt. has written a few books full of the more mysterious details of Ed's exploits. I highly recommend.
No sa
Do you happen to know the name of the book?
@@rachelbishop9925 THe judges name was Robert H. Gollmar. . Many of the case transcripts can be found in the book titled.....Americas most bizarre murderer. There are also a few sources for the entire court case transcripts @ google
• The 2 prime missing girls were not remotely "near by".
• There never was any confirmation of a white Ford, and certainly Gein didn't own it. The rumor of a white Ford at one of the girl's disappearance was TEN years earlier, but other accounts state it was a black Buick.
• There was no 'exact clothing of the missing girls' found on the Gein farm.
Be wary of Gollamr's book- he does a TON of fabrication when he wanders off the immediate case details.
Great content, keep them coming
This case has always fascinated me and is the inspiration for so many movies.
That's a fact : nobody really knows how much work it is to dig a grave , and the amount of dirt that commes out of it..
Chad Daybell does…. Just sayin..
The police initially couldn't believe that he'd dug up the graves and then reinterred them in one night. They challenged him to dig a large hole to reproduce the effort...which he did successfully.
I worked at a cemetery for a couple years. The hole had already been dug and filled with loose dirt on top of the casket. Wouldn't be too difficult. As for refilling the grave, I've done that plenty of times in a matter of minutes.
And to think, you can now order a latex skin suit online. Gein was ahead of his time!
Yeah at least his was “homemade” lmao
The originator.
@@words_on_a_screen the first creator
He should have started an Etsy
Where can I get a belt made of nipples?
Evil? Bro, he was insane. I don't think he did this out of hatred, he was just fucked in the head. His perception of reality was warped beyond belief. Even one of the people in this video mention that he didn't really understand what he was doing was completely wrong
I drive through this town frequently. Ed’s a legend in Wisconsin.
I've read a couple books and a few articles about ed gein. I never understood why no one ever noticed the disturbed graves at the cemetary!
There are actually two other films based on Ed Gein's life and crimes. One of them is DERANGED, released prior to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE in February 1974, with Roberts Blossom in the role under the alternate name Ezra Cobb - all real-life characters in the case had their names changed by the writer and director - that was also notable in that it featured the early FX make-up work of Tom Savini before he came to prominence for his work on George A Romero's films and FRIDAY THE 13TH. The second film is ED GEIN (2000), which actually used all the real names, where Gein was played by Steve Railsback, who previously played the protagonist in LIFEFORCE (1985) by MASSACRE director Tobe Hooper. There was also one more film inspired by - but not wholly based on - the case that came out before MASSACRE, the grubby grindhouse cheapie THREE ON A MEATHOOK (1972), with an interesting twist on the theme. Yet, none of these films are as distinguished or as firmly ingrained in the mainstream as PSYCHO, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE or THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
He was more of a Grave robber than a serial killer
Grave robber and interior decorater.
He murdered at least two women, as well as his brother and was linked to tons of other murders
@@keithdrummond1003bruh!😄😭😆😂🤣
He murdered woman too he shot one in the back of the head
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was based on Ed Gein except Gein's crimes took place up in Wisconsin & he didn't use a chainsaw.
My grandfather used to work at a guard at the place Gein was at and helped transfer him. He didn't talk about it much but said that Gein was a nice man.
Sounds like the inspiration for "Silence of the Lambs."
It’s is I googled it that how I ended up here
40:33
It puts the lotion in the basket
Buffalo Bill sitting nude at the sewing machine... That character is a composite of several serial killers, Gein included.
@@harryape9059 yeah Gein was definitely fucked in the head but he was more of a grave robber than anything he did kill way fewer people than alot of other killers
Imagine knowing someone like this and not knowing what they do on there spare time.. creepy 😬
Imagine having had him watch your kids, he sometimes babysat😳
Oh, you probably do. We are only as sick as our secrets.
Nice to meet you
I sometimes fart and like to sit there and enjoy the smell...
Ed was crazy. Completely out of touch with reality. My older brother worked with him at the institution. He said he was very calm and gentle. But totally out of touch. He was not evil he was crazy
I always wondered how different Ed would have been if he could’ve gotten into his mother’s grave , that is the first thing he tried to do but Augusta was buried in cement (
My father was a boy in Bancroft WI when this happened and I remember the stories he told me this just proves he was telling the truth.
No baby crawling around in diapers, playing with a rattle and eating strained carrots is evil.
I can’t believe someone who believes that they are, can be allowed to treat patients. And she referred to him as “it”.
She’s totally unqualified to examine humans.
Ed Gein was a very sick person, but not born evil.
No one is born evil.
who referred to him as it
If English isnt your first language thats fine but damn you could not have articulated what you were trying to say in a more incoherent manner.
Hillary Clinton was.
@@article1582 And your mom.
She’s trying to be Sam Loomis from the michael Myers franchise it seems. You’re absolutely right.
I love this documentary so much!
i find it pretty ridiculous that the woman said he was born evil… he clearly wasn’t…in his case it’s blindingly obvious that he was a product of a terrible mother and an absent father…the fact that his victims never really suffered and were killed instantly without knowing what happened shows he was a sensitive outcast. he was someone who simply didn’t fit in with what most people see as normal. and he clearly spent alot of time in a very altered state of reality. unlike most serial killers he was no sadist and wasn’t really a monster. just a person who never really grew up emotionally and had a very warped sense of reality… thats why in every day situations he was always friendly and seemed in a world of his own…
Ed was a fellow Wisconsin boy. I grew up about 5 hours south of where he committed his crimes. Plainfield is a very small, very rural, very quiet town just off a highway and surrounded by pretty much nothing but farms. The residents there don't like to talk about him. The location looks pretty much like it did when he committed his crimes, when I was last there (2009) the store where he abducted the clerk was still there. He's buried near the southwest corner of the cemetery, also just off the highway. His headstone is missing but his brother's grave is still marked, as is his mother's, which is right next to Ed.
I will be there tomorrow. I am going to walk thru the cemetery.
I don't think that it's that people dont want to talk about him, but more about that they dont really know the details
@@thefakeluis You could be right, I'm not sure. I only know that there was a book that provided directions to the sites of famous crimes (I don't recall the title, I wish I did) and it suggested not going around asking about Ed because the town was sensitive to it.
I admit that I ignored that advice but did it tactfully, when I grabbed something at the convenience store I played dumb and said "my friend heard I was passing through here and told me to ask about some famous person that lived here or something"? I felt terrible when the woman at the counter said "you really don't know? Oh, bless you. Yeah your friend was talking about Ed Gein, he did some...well, he did some bad things a long time back".
I could tell that she wasn't really comfortable about it so I just kept it simple, saying something like "what, murder?" and her response was "yeah, more than one. They were pretty bad". I just left it at that and told her "wow, I'll have to look it up when I get home".
@@petmomful2260 Hey, did you ever wind up going? If so did you find Ed's unmarked grave?
@@Miketheratguy I did. My son had a load to drop off in a nearby town and he said I could go with him and we would go to the town. When we got there it was snowing heavily and getting dark. We pulled this huge trailer thru the cemetery in the dark and found the family graves,, running around in the cemetery in the dark and cold and snow! We had directions as to where the family is buried. His friend came, too. (I am 67, my son is 44. lol) The gravestones of mom, dad, and brother Henry are there. Ed's gravestone is gone and stored in the police station in a nearby town. Then we found where the house had been. We rode thru the town and found that the hardware store has been torn down. We then went out to eat and I asked a few young people there if they knew who Ed Gein was, and they did not. I guess Plainfield does not talk about it much. I told them to google it! I wanted to pay my respects at the graves of the victims but I had no idea where their graves were and could not find them in the dark with a blizzard going on. And we were freezing! Then we went to a nice hotel and came home the next day. The town is very quiet, quaint, and we saw no one on the streets. It was an interesting trip, but there really isn't much to see, just something to say I did. I enjoyed the trip.
This is a great show,love the way the stories are put together
I love that sufficient tone of that detective. The way he end every hot takes
He suffered for decades at the hands of his mother, manipulated, blindly led to believe all of what she was saying, abused physically and mentally by other members of the family, and in the end, so mentally corrupted that he would never even know what he did was wrong. imagine being a teenager at 40+ years old... cant even fathom what made him think any of what he did was ok. he was terrible, but it was never his choice to be that way which is the saddest part.
Just imagine the horrors in catholics-led orphanages or shelters for single mothers in places like Ireland where the nuns keep yelling at the kids they are abomination, whoresons, and torturing them over and over...
Every horrific murder : “I’m just shocked. This is a small town”
Yes, small towns usually specialize in incest.
Nothing here, just keeping it all in the family.
Why do so many serial killers spawn from small towns?
there's probably someone like Ed Gein lurking in the comments right now
Me
😂
Says the Ed Gein
Mmmmm. . Yeeesssss
Right here. .
There is
It's DISGUSTING that in the 21st century, Ed is still called EVIL instead of VERY SICK.
That doesn't excuse the murders he committed, which are indeed, evil.
WOW! Ed Gein is the real leatherface killer. I could have never belive that the franchise of Texas Chainsaw Massacre could actually be a true horror story 😲
not even just that, but he was one of the (maybe even the main) inspirations for the original “Psycho” story. think about it… overbearing controlling mother that turned their son against women so they could have him to themselves, then the son being so obsessed he keeps his mothers body.. Ed’s story was so over the top and unbelievable it inspired so many classic horror themes.
if you don’t know about “Psycho” i HIGHLY recommend looking into the movie, and especially the series made more recently called “Bates Motel” such good story partly based from this true and horrific situation, and truly a classic.
Who didn’t know that ...
I had no idea Ed Gein life was based on leatherface
Yes leatherface and phycho
I wonder what would have happened if Ed was drafted during WW2 and served. Things MAY have changed for the better for him.
He killed his brother. Just the fact that he led them to his dead body makes that obvious.
Sick people are fascinated to go see or take pictures where innocent people have been murdered. I would never want to visit a place where people have been murdered in such a gruesome way😢
Speaking as someone who has been to Lacrosse, Wisconsin, I can confirm that it is a proper den of iniquity.
I'll remember Plainfield as a lovely small Wisconsin town. Period. That it happened to have a very sick man who lived there doesn't matter. I've always loved Wisconson.
@Azhag Dark*why would you make your comment in response to what Cynthia said? nonsense.*
Most sall towns in us look a like and they r ugly. Small towns are lovely in europe .
City people and psychologists are total nebish morons. They think sociopaths are made. His mother was obviously a hater, not a Christian at all, and what a surprise! the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
The U.S. Has many beautiful small towns and it's a big country. What town are you from?
Ed Gein a sick individual but there was a guy named Albert Fish that was executed on the electric chair back in the 1930s that was actually worse I think.
Ed killed his brother and a woman. Albert actively hunted and killed children as young as 7. He also sent a *_VERY_* detailed letter to a mom about how he killed her daughter and then chopped her to pieces before cooking and eating her parts. I can only think of maybe two other killers that rival Albert Fish in terms of depravity.
@@robjef622 who? Who?

Another is the Toy Box Killer. Horrifying
omg it's so eerie how innocent ed looks in his pictures
It is not the first time I hear and or read about “devout Christians” who have devastating effects on family, society and their people…………….Because Ed did not have the intelligence to choose and see the difference between good and bad, he just tried to recreate his mother and/or a female friend to keep him company. The way he went about doing it, now that was pure evil.
