Edward Theodore Gein (/ɡiːn/; August 27, 1906[6] - July 26, 1984), also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul, was an American convicted murderer and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin.
Ed Gein's house and 195-acre (79 ha) property were appraised at $4,700 (equivalent to $41,000 in 2018) His possessions were scheduled to be auctioned March 30, 1958, amidst rumors that the house and the land it stood on might become a tourist attraction. Early on the morning of March 20, the house was destroyed by fire. A deputy fire marshal reported that a rubbish fire had been set 75 feet (23 m) from the house by a cleaning crew tasked with disposing of trash; further, that hot coals were recovered from the spot of the bonfire, and fire from the bonfire's location did not travel along the ground to the house. Arson was suspected, but the cause of the fire was never officially determined. When Gein learned of the incident while in detention, he shrugged and said, "Just as well."

I've watched you put rocks on tens of graves. But, when you put it on Mrs. Worden's with your gentle pat, I burst into tears. Such a sweet and respectful gesture. Again, I don't know why I reacted so. Well done. Thanks Scott.

What was sad was his last murder could have been prevented, he kept dropping hints that he murdered Mary Hogan and no one took it seriously. A nephew of one of the officers who first went into Gein's house of horrors said that every man who was in that group died an early death, as if the trauma somehow shortened their lives. Great job in describing the creepy desolation of the area, I could feel it in the pit of my stomach.

Not really, not if you had the frame of mind the people at that time had, Ed was always saying weird things that yes, were dead giveaways that he did it, but Ed was weird from childhood due to the way his parents treated him, so they just never took him seriously. It was very different mentality back then.

It makes your blood run cold thinking that so many of these killers are created by monstrous parents that have no concept, or caring, of the damage they inflict and the horror they inflict on the world in general. Just because you have the privilege of creating life doesn't mean some people should, prime examples George and Augusta Gein. Thank you for sharing what was a horrific crime and a tough story for you to share.

My 2 favorites being "Derranged" (1974) starring Roberts Blossom, and "Ed Gein" (2007) starring Kane Hodder. If you ever find yourself back here in Cleveland, you should do a video covering the Torso Murders in the 1930's. Great video as always Scott. Take car.

I have never heard of any story more bizarre than this one. Could there be anything worse? However anything shown or told by you I will never miss. Such a job well done by you. Could see the sadness in your face for the people in this story and it must have been hard for you visiting those locations. It helped a lot to understand everything that took place. You are the best. The way you interact with your subscribers individually is so commendable and you are loved by so many.

Just to let you know about the Plainfield cemetery, Bernice Worden has her own head stone, its very flat and is right in front of the large Worden stone. I have pics if your interested. Also, right in front of the Geins headstones toward the road is Eleanor Adams headstone, whom Ed dug up and parted her remains. The police exhumed her grave and found it to be empty. I'm not sure if her body was ever returned to rest. Kind of ironic that Ed ended up being buried right behind her.

@10:20 begins the clicking sounds you (Scott) were talking about in your current EG video. The clicking sounds, they sound like chains hitting concrete, and they start when you were getting emotionally charged talking about Ed's past and his relations with family. I guess we will never know if they sounds are ghostly paranormal, however they do sound clear and loud, like it was on another track.

Historic aerials show the Tavern stood just inside the shrubbery to left. It was later converted to a house and before being razed. The Gein farmhouse actually stood facing 2nd Ave, just south of Archer immediately to the right of the entry gate you showed us and not left. The other buildings on the property were not standing in 1957. The barn stood in the location of the smaller structures there today and where Miss Worden'sbody was found.

Where did you find these aerial shots? You are correct about everything except one thing, Bernice Wordens body was found in the summer kitchen which was attached to the rear end of the house facing west.

Several good topics to cover there: The Grimes Sisters, Oh Henry's Bar (Capone hangout with tunnels that lead to cemetery, and the Willowbrook Ball Room, which has since burnt down), Resurrection Mary(Resurrection Cemetery is in nearby Justice Illinois), The Helen Brach horse ranch, etc. etc. There are lots of creepy places there, and some of the stories connect one place to another. I used to work a state job that took me into some of them. Very freaky stuff. If you do any of it, please keep me in the loop.

As for the two other innocent victims of Ed Gein, I strongly believe he seen both the owner of the hardware store and the owner of the bar as his mum and he was SO angry and screwed up by the behaviour of his parents but more so towards his mother that he took his anger and frustration out on Bernice Worden and the other lady whose name I can’t remember. Rest in peace to Ed Geins victims.

Don’t know if it’s just me but the audio keeps popping for some reason

Fucking annoying. Ignore it while editing?

Nope. There was no popping on the original footage nor in the final cut. KZfaq fucked this up. I’m pretty pissed and may have to reupload I dunno

Easy Jesus Coe I’m sure you can cope.

@artalli7170 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah. I have a disorder about sounds and I can't watch it :(. I tried 3 times. Great video though. More info than most people. If you reupload I'll be super happy, but if KZfaq did it I have no idea how you could fix it.

Scott, love your videos, always utterly engrossing! I've read that Gein was the inspiration for Norman Bates (Psycho), and Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre). Keep safe, Chance (UK)

I thought they said he was buried in an unmarked grave. Really good video. This is the first time I've seen someone go to the actual locations.

Thank you very much . The headstone for Ed Gein was stolen a few years ago but returned to the town and its now in the police department headquarters basement.

I don’t know but I don’t get the feeling that he killed his brother . What would the motive be? I do wish Harry had lived though just to get his thoughts on what went down

@MsFreechild Жыл бұрын

THe motive was that the brother offended mother, he had a go at her and Ed didn't like that!

In 1959, my grandparents and I stopped in his plainfield. The under sheriff told us how his mother was killed by Ed. His mother owned the hardware store. He ran the gas station kiddy corner from there. We had stopped there for gasoline.
