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.

[@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]

They were telling Ed about all of the bodies, body parts and all of the gruesome carnage that they had found on his property. Also they stated that they had found remains of a deer. Ed hadn’t said a word until this point and then Ed lifts his head and with this cold, horrific, blank stare he looks directly into the investigators eyes and says I’ve never killed a deer in my whole life! 😱That’s just too creepy!

[@MegaJackpinesavage]

Yup --- Wisconsin will do that to a person...

[@zedalba]

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.

[@jonsprong1842]

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.) So I doubt he'd lie about killing some randoms.

The Worden building is still standing there is a nice coffee shop right across the street.

My mom had the book Gein that I used to flip through as a curious teenager. Some of the pics still haunt me all these years later, especially Beatrice's .

[@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.

[@GruntProof]

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

[@davegutenech7188]

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.

[@Dave-si2im]

Heard of this bloke and seen several documentaries about him but you take it to another level of interest. Thanks mate:-)

[@GreenDragonPainting]

Great video. I love the Bates Motel show and recently watched it again. I didn't notice until just now but Norman Bates is obsessed with the lady running the local hardware store. He actually tells her she reminds him of his mother and gives her dresses his dead mother used to wear.

[@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.

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!

[@MENFUSSMIKE]

❤ GG

[@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.

[@tcales9180]

I respect the fact that you fixed the flowers I do that too. RESPECT

[@qiviutqueen5705]

First time I'm hearing this gruesome story, thanks for sharing it.

[@pommydiva1]

im into Horror movies, so your coverage of Ed Gein fascinated me. He was a cruel/mental so and so, what those families must have gone through is unmentionable. it would have been so disturbing to them to find out what he had actually done to the bodies. thank you for your video, you must have done a lot of searching to find those graves x

[@TH-bk5hj]

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

[@michaelbarrett672]

Great job narrating. No showboating or goofy jokes. Well done.

[@paulacrawford5209]

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

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

"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.

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. 😱

[@rustyshackleford1785]

Mudvayne "Nothing To Gein" is a great description of Ed.

Must be very lonely living alone in an isolated house the silence inside your house sometimes is unbearable I could imagine him going insane because of that r.i.p may God have mercy on your soul🙏

[@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.

[@logogonzalez6083]

I love the Way you toll US this story hermano super video amigo 🤟🙌

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.

[@conservativehippie9736]

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

[@nathanielovaughn2145]

Those cars would probably bring some big $. Wonder if either were used to transport any grave excavation bounties.

[@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.

[@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...

[@aaronmoussathanas8887]

U forgot to mention that he was a known good babysitter never hurt or touched the kids he babysat the kids loved him an his stories goes to show u how sick in the head child molesters really are ed was sick but decent enough to not harm a child
