Killers aren't evil, fanged beasts that come out at night to prey on the innocent. They're people that walk would among us everyday and we would never know it. Gacy was a birthday clown. Bundy was a "warm and loving" boyfriend who went to law school.

@@Pnk_Rckr while that is true, Bundy was more of a charismatic boy next door persona. Bundy had multiple attempts on his long time girlfriends life. One of them being closing up all exits ( like space under doors and closing windows ) and leaving the fireplace burning, which almost killed her by suffocation. He resisted in the end and ended up saving her life moments before death.

She'd open a orphanage for families to bring the unwanted and she had a success rate of adopting kids out at almost 90%, odd isn't it? Well after 6years she was caught and it was discovered all the kids that were "adopted" were actually now missing or never left the place.. at least in one piece. The 80% of kids were turned into soap after she killed them (usually suffercation/drowning) she'd take their body fat and churned it into soap a bit smelly soap but soap none the less. Made bank off it of cause it was "organic". A Russian elder woman during the 1920's i believe it was or it was the 80s.

One of her examples were that he had more nipples than women killed or dug up &many were not treated with embalming fluids used at that time.

"In a trance". Interestingly, the fact that he came up with those alibis would be a point against his legal insanity, which is an inability to understand that what he was doing was wrong in the eyes of society. He even said he went to the cemetery many times but stopped himself, which would imply he knew it was wrong to steal corpses. Still a good call to put him in a mental hospital, since he was some kind of ill, but I doubt he was legally insane.

For so long I thought Ed Gein was a fake character from a movie. I never knew he was a real person. The way my heart sank after this video 😳

[@jasonk2518]

This one makes me questions my views. I'm so tired of people acting crazy at the time of the trial that I was thinking we should eliminate insanity as a plea. But then there's this guy...how can you not be completely insane if this is what you do?

Let’s remember that his father was very abusive towards him and his brother. His mother possibly played a part but his father definitely played a larger one, considering sociopathy stems from childhood abuse and teasing. It’s more likely Gein did such horrible things because of his fathers influence instead of his mothers.

[@Ethieth]

@@folkloricmoon I agree, I don't know why they put so much importance on his mothers strictness. All serial killers are said to have had some sort of childhood abuse

The Texas chainsaw massacre is truly one of the most terrifying films of all time what’s so scary about is because it could ACTUALLY happen like it doesn’t have ghosts or anything in it it could actually happen that’s the terrifying thing and not to mention it takes place in the middle of nowhere

[@thebeldam5823]

Ive got a story about this sicko.. In the late 1970s my uncle was using his hovercraft on some lake in Madison Wisconsin. His hovercraft was having issues, so he pulled up to the shore of this little island that was connected to the main land. His friend and him were trying to pull it onto the beach and noticed a guy sitting at a table under a tree about 100 feet away, so they yelled to him for help. The guy didn't move or say anything. My uncle walked up to him and asked for help again, and all the guy did was stare into the distance. Two doctors came running from the nearest building and took the guy away. Then one of the doctors asked my uncle if the guy said anything while he was talking to him. He said no and asked why. The doctor said "We just wanted to make sure he didn't say anything to you. Do you know who he is?" Turns out that man was none other than Ed Gein.. living his last few Schizophrenic years of life at the Mendota Mental Health Hospital. Thanks for reading my family story!

[@Twisted_gunner]

i have one too, my grandpa ended up in prison and he was in the same exsact prison he was being held in. my grandpa never spoke to him but he always walked by his cell. It's kinda creepy to know you're in the same prison with a person who tears people's skin off. my grandpa said to my dad "he was off his walker" and he definitely was not wrong about that

[@madtownangler]

That was at Mendota Mental Health. You can walk out to the point and go fishing there now. There are a couple old sheds out there with Ed Gein sayings written on them whenever I've gone out there
