His Real Life House of Horrors - The Ed Gein Documentary

[@braysfinds7479]

Being from Wisconsin, me and my friends always joked about how many screwed up people came from our state. But when looking deeper into some of these crimes, it gets absolutely morbid and disgusting. Wisconsin had Gein, Dahmer, Avery, and quite a few others that are more obscure. Very good documentary as always.

You do realise Edward was MENTALLY ILL right. he saw things in the leaves and trees and heard his mothers voice screaming at him. do you think he had the brain of a rational person?

[@linollieum3742]

Another part that I think is important is that the sheriff was so angry with Gein for what he had done that he beat him during interrogation, which made his initial confession non admissible which is why it took him longer to process through the legal system. And the detective that beat him died before the trial from heart failure at 43. Most think that being the sheriff for this case and directly dealing with Gein traumatized him so badly that it killed him just as much as Gein killed his other victims.

[@priestessmikokikyo77]

In defense of Gein: if it weren't for his mutilation of dead bodies, no one would know his name. He only confessed to two murders and is suspected of killing his brother. Other serial killers rape, torture, torment, and brutalize their victims while they are still alive. Gein showed none of these signs. He may have been about to escalate his violent tendencies when he was caught, but all we can say for certain is he was deeply disturbed and uniquely monstrous which is why he stands out on serial killer lists with such a small kill count.

I completely agree, and was thinking the same thing. For instance compare Gein with the “Toybox Killer”. 😳

There's some pretty good doco's on him which show far more than this vid(although I think this guy did a fair job) they go through the house when it first happened, showing the walled up section which contained his mother's room. He had light shades made of skin, most of a human skin suit,(not quite finished) a skin face mask, using bones as cups, bowls, and as parts of furniture. He did say he only killed 2 people and stole/dug up the rest, and I believe him. He admitted to pretty much anything and everything he ever did(except the truth about his brother, which I think he denied due to the memory of his mother, not wanting her to know, even though she's dead.)

I worked with the old timers at Central State Hospital. When the hospital became a state prison a lot of the old time psych officers transferred and transitioned to the prison. They told me he was a model patient. Worked hard on the yard crew outside the fence. Polite. Just a nice guy

nice video keep up the good work , you have just earned a new subscriber much respect for the effort from Australia 👍

Thank you for telling this horrifying story. Strange relationship between Ed and his mother, almost a sick bond between the two.

[@dondamon4669]

"almost" Jesus it is completely messed up! I worry about you if you consider it "a little bit strange"

[@TheLmende]

@@dondamon4669 Since you want me to be technical- YES IT IS A SICK BOND. OMG this was so LOOOONG ago.

[@paulacrawford5209]

You did quite a good job with this story, ty.

[@Infinite.Worldz]

It'd be absolutely amazing and crazy and sick all in one if they made a show about him living in the mental hospital with the people who took care of him, and telling their stories.

[@ThomasQuigley-b1b]

If you are ever unfortunate enough to be in the basement of the old part of the Dodge County facility = there is an un marked, interior, high security cell he enjoyed for quite some time. It has a # above the door.

[@ionapalmer4068]

My best friends mom worked at that hospital where he was before he died. The other nurses was really creeped out by him. They said he never caused any problems at all but was very creepy

[@wgcds7jyg897]

Did they say how he was creepy?

[@GruntProof]

that's cool the town welcomes visitors for that story. Often, people want to hide that stuff

[@smitastic7030]

We went camping near Plainfield in the early 90s and went to the graveyard. At that time Geins grave was there and my buddy even had us take his picture with his long hair hanging over the gravestone. And yes, there were chunks chipped off all the way around it.

[@ernestj3081]

Omg I saw a special on history channel on all the serial killers. He’s absolutely freaky and frightening! Scary shit! So thankful you’re concentrating on him! I got chills when I saw the special on tv! This is awesome Chris!! Thanks my friend🙏🏻💙🌟💙🙏🏻 Welcome back to the States!! Your British vids were spectacular 🙏🏻💙

[@adamberndt4190]

I grew up in wautoma and frequented the museum often as there was not much to do in such a small town, in the '90s it was free to visit the museum on Tuesdays and Thursdays otherwise it was $2 so basically free all the time! Lol watching your footage of the wautoma jail believe it or not made me tear up! Lol I haven't been back to wautoma in over 10 years so seeing the museum brought back a lot of memories of being a kid up there...

[@dabearsraiders]

What a fascinating recap and video. Well done!

[@propdoctor21564]

Interesting video from my home state... I was born and raised in Sheboygan which is about 2 hours from Plainfield and my parents had a cabin on a lake about 30 minutes from Plainfield... Also where I grew up in Sheboygan is only about 50 miles north of Milwaukee where Jeffrey Dahmer had his reign of horror. 😱

Way back our family would stop in Plainfield at a restaurant. Mom & Dad would tell me & my sister about Ed Gien. It would terrify us.

[@zacmonarch4845]

My great grandma told a story about running into him a few times back then. She said she always had a weird vibe from him.

[@Mjr1348]

I live in Wi. Fascinated about the Gein family. Thanks for sharing.

[@YourFreeBeats]

Good for the city to keep the county jail open as a museum. So often a city tries to bury its dark past, and usually in vein. I live in Dallas and for a while the word ‘Kennedy’ was taboo, until eventually the chamber allowed the tragedy to be more “public” so historians would have an accurate account of everything.

[@tonybutler8811]

Hi Chris brilliant coverage of this mad man. Your video’s are top draw many thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoyed your trip to England 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@michaelciccone2194]

Too bad you couldn't interview some of the people who actually knew him in Plainfield. One family had him over for nice home cooked suppers. He was like a member of the family.

Forgot how good this fellas videos are,thank you sir!

[@linollieum3742]

Imagine being the friend that Gein was staying with when he was arrested. "You're arrested? What for old chap? Did you get into a drunken barfight?" Imagine realizing that your friend was someone who could do the things he did, and you had been harbouring him in your own home.

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

I'm gonna have to take issue with him being "one of the worst human beings to ever walk the earth." He was a simpleton who killed 2 people. Maybe 3. He was sick, yes. Evil? I don't think he had the intellectual capacity to be.

Me and my buddy went from Sweden to the US for a roadtrip in 2012. I guess you can say we had some different things we wanted to see. My buddy brought me to Plainfield, WI for this, we went to the cemetery, stood on his grave. Other things my twisted friend wanted to see was Gacy´s street, GG Allins grave in Littleton, NH. Three Mile Island, PA and Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS. God Bless Merica!

Man, you did a great job finding all these locations in Plainfield. Im too obsessed with Gein, ive made the trip to Plainfield from Colorado 6 times now, just last month actually i was there. I found everything you did except the Alzaida grave, which i never knew or heard of her death. Just curious where did you find info on her grave robbing? Also, most dont know this, but Geins two cars are in an old barn just west of Plainfield about 20 miles.

Boy I hope Chris responds as you've done some do diligence fs.

I love ur channel. U do such great work. The story of Ed Gein, always gave me the willies; and I am a fan of horror stories & movies. Stuff like ghouls, vampires, ghosts & zombies. But when u visited that jail, with that life sized cut out, i nearly screamed! Never saw that coming. Yet what gets me, is how he got to live a full life, but snuffed out the lives of those women. So not fair. Not to mention, all the heartache he caused the families of the ladies, he murdered & the ppl he dug up. Fascinating, but gruesome. A movie is one thing, destroying & murdering in real life: big difference. At least th ed groundsmen of these cemeteries, have respect for the dead. The grounds are very well kept. Thanks again. Well put together👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽. Be safe out there✝️

[@apocyldoomer]

Great work, Chris, others have filmed the same spots and posted a vid, but you went more in-depth. As a side note, in the beginning of his madness, digging up freshly buried corpses, he had a friend, who helped him, his name was GUS, and he was sent away to the loony bin before Ed’s madness was discovered. Many people do not know this, excuse my 4 comments, I just have tons to say about this and other things, I am fascinated by the dark side, and Serial Killers, etc, etc. NO, I am not a murderer or a criminal, never been arrested or jailed, guess I’m just a strange guy, HA!! On to the next one Chris,

[@LogicalVelocity]

I really enjoyed your documentary. Very interesting and ots neat to see the actual place things happened.
