    I'm from Ladysmith, WI, and when I was a little kid I thought Ed Gein lived right behind our house, because of all the stories my mom used to tell of him. The best book I've read about Ed Gein is called, Deviant. His mom had wanted a daughter, but she abhorred sex, and after Henry and Ed were born, she was done trying for a girl. I don't know about Henry, but as Ed was growing up, his mom would dress him up as a girl and force him to behave like a girl. I completely blame his crazy, domineering mom for how Ed turned out. In fact, I always thought, if Ed and I had been kids at the same time, we might have been best friends, if it wasn't for his mom. I just always felt sorry for Ed Gein, as a child, and all that his mom did to him growing up. 😢 He never stood a chance at being a "normal" human being.

    I totally believe your experience. Good thing that you got rid of that thing. I don’t understand how sick someone can be to chip off a bit from a gravestone, let alone steal one! Disgusting to even bring evil dirt from an evil monster to your home. All the sage in the world couldn’t cleanse your house after that.

    If Gein's mother thought all women were whores, what did that make her? Kinda contradicting. I can never understand people with thought processes like that.
    it's still extremely messed up what happened though.

      When you believe what is often preached in churches that women are in fact always tempting men to commit sin then it is easy to be lead astray. She may have seen herself as righteous but other women as whores. I personally believe she didn't want to fill the traditional wife mother role of women then and hated women because she was forced to live as one. There are many mental diseases that obscure things we are taught in everyday life. She certainly had at least one of them.

    Back in September of 2008 I went to Plainfield to buy a motorcycle from a private seller off of Craigslist. I started talking to the older man after I bought the motorcycle about ed gein. He told me that ed was very well known in the area and since there were all mainly farmers in the area if they ever needed help Ed was very generous about helping them with their chores being done such as chopping wood and stacking hay and so on. He also told me one of the things people would call on him for was babysitting their young kids if the parents needed. A matter of fact this guy I bought the motorcycle from said that his grandmother was quite often watched by Ed when she was young. Apparently the kids always got along good with him because he was quite slow with a similar iq of a kid. He would do weird things and say childish like things but people just thought he was a little weird but harmless. Everyone in the area knew this about him, but they didn't expect him doing what he all did. They were very shocked when this all came out back then.
    Back in 2008 when I was there the basement foundation of the house was still there but I don't remember the tree growth being that thick like in this video back then because it was easier to see from the road compared to this video.

    I totally agree, you never take anything from a cemetery (unless you're there cleaning up trash) and you always treat each headstone and ground with the utmost respect. Because we never know what they went thru in their lives, and if possibly they're able to sense your presence or what's in your heart. I have had experiences that prove that even though the body had expired and was buried, their energy sometimes remains. I just did a video on that exact message. You always show the utmost respect and that's what I admire about you as well as another channel called Sidestep Adventures. That's why I watch your video's, you guys show the respect towards the departed that they deserve. And if you show respect, you can't go wrong in my opinion.

    By far THE best video about Ed on all the internet!! And tastefully done as well. Thank you for sharing it. I live about forty minutes away from there. I've been to that town before I knew the story. May some day return to do some respectful exploration. I grew up just outside of Chicago, near Willow Springs, Justice, Hillside, etc. There is alot of interesting history there(Grimes Sisters, Resurrection Cemetery, Capone Hangouts / Willowbrook Ballroom / Oh Henry's Bar / etc., Mount Carmel Cemetery: resting place of Sam Giancana, Al Capone, Frank Nitti, and more.. even Riverside Illinois where Frank Nitti lived, and North Riverside where he took his own life(I went to High School right across the street from that location, and used to sometimes walk those spur tracks going home from school.) Would love to see more videos on many of these locations and topics. In particular, if any of it interests you; look for a possible connection between Charles Melquest(sp?) who happened to be a stone Mason and a stone hut that is hidden on the property that the Grimes Sisters were found in the late or mid fifties. Interesting stuff...

Being young and stupid I decided to take the bone home for our dog...😣 My dog took one whiff and walked away! That night I experienced very bad dreams so the next day I brought the bone back to where I found it...Lesson here is don’t take anything from other people’s resting places whatever they might be!

    I so agree about messing with the supernatural - people usually kids get a thrill and excitement - and they don't realize that they are messing with demonic activity and opening themselves up to it.. Back in 1971 or 2 my husband was hired by a firm located in Chicago, Ill and we rented a apartment in a suburb which had young couples. I was invited to come to a coffee thing with about 3 other women who were home during the day. After coffee a board was brought out and I was immediately NOT comfortable but didn't want to appear judgmental as I was insecure and didn't know how to handle the situation. I am a Christian and also very sensitive to the supernatural. When this thing started sending out coherent messages, I abruptly got up and gave the excuse that I needed to go be with my daughter. Now this place I will NEVER forget because of the wife-swapping activity that these couples also tried to involve my husband and I. THANK GOD, the company closed in Chicago and moved South to Memphis, TN. I have NEVER forgotten the unease and evil I experienced there. I would NEVER let my kids play with those boards when they had friends over but afraid to get too explicit so they would not be a temptation. THEY ARE NOT TOYS but given those who use them can open up a door to demonic activity -

    Ron, this will be long but good reading about Gein. I saw this on TV a couple years ago. I don’t know the names of these family members so will improvise. The story was told by two young men in the family. Will call them Bill and Bob. Bill’s dad, Jack, was a close friend of the two police officers who were first into Gein’s house. These cops were so overcome by what they saw they were vomiting and had someone go get Jack to come and help them investigate. There was a small iron caldron with short legs and handle that Gein had cooked human parts in. When they had the auction of his stuff Jack’s mother wanted the pot. Jack told her it was bad but she got it anyway. She planted flowers in it and had it in her yard for years. Nothing happened to her. She died and Jack cleaned out his mom’s house. He put the caldron and her other belongings in his garage. Shortly after Jack put the caldron in his garage he got sick with cancer and died quickly. His son Bill and his cousin, Bob, had a close friend die in a tragic car accident. Then, an uncle got badly injured in a work accident and died from his injuries. Bill and Bob believed the caldron was causing this evil stuff. They contacted Zac and Aaron of Ghost Adventures on Discovery Channel. Zac told Bill to ship him the caldron. Zac had Bill and Bob come to his house in LA. They went over the background stuff. Zac then got the box the caldron was in. He hadn’t opened it yet. Zac took the caldron out and set it on the floor. He said he felt evil himself. He asked Aaron, one of his crew, to get a EVP meter. They put the meter over the caldron. What I had seen of people using an EVP before the needle would go halfway at most. The needle went as far as it could go without causing the meter to smoke. Lol Zac and Aaron looked at each other and said they had never seen that before! Zac put the caldron back in the shipping box. Those two young guys wouldn’t get near that caldron. I don’t know what Zac did with the caldron.

    This was a great visit, LOVED the pics and the factual rundowns. I've never seen most of those pictures. Those poor women. Ed was sumthin' and a half but I have to say that his mom did a doozy on him. I've heard that Ed displayed personality issues that sound like he may have suffered from a personality disorder. The nurses that tended to him reportedly said he was quiet and shy mostly, but would occasionally shift to mean gross.
    Thank you for noting the risks that one takes when taking things from graves and weird sites. I made the mistake of taking a pebble from a battlefield in Gettysburg on my first trip out there and my husband I argued like we never ever have. I left that pebbel before my trip home and all was well. I've been back once more and had another miserable experience. I feel like both were tied to having taken that pebble from my first visit. I don't think I can go back ever again because of it.

    I think my deceased grandmother could attest to not taking things from graveyards! My grandmother, mother, aunt, sister and I went to go see the gravesite of my grandmother’s mother. While we were there, my grandmother saw a plant she liked that was seemingly growing wild there and she proceeded on digging it up. She ended up taking it home and planted it in her front yard. That same night a vicious storm rolled in and she went to check on the plant she planted and it was gone! She never could find that plant she brought home! So weird. I still remember it to this day. 👻

      I have to disagree Lilian. We often replicate with others later in life the harm done to us as children. For example, it is often the case that pedophiles were themselves abused as children. A lot of damage can be done to a child having the misfortune of been subjected to the abuse of people with no business ever being within the vicinity of any child. This trauma can later manifest itself well into adulthood in very destructive ways.

The marriage was unhealthy, and who knows what part her husband played in her madness? Her vicious take on Christianity contributed to her own self hatred, and hatred of other women. And who knows how nutzoid Ed was from early childhood? Nobody was left to shed any light on the picture except him, and he's an unreliable narrator.

      Most likely they were casket in ground burials. When l worked in a cemetery the vault lids could only be moved with a chain sling with the hydraulics on the backhoe because they weighed 800-1,000 pounds. Then sand was filled in using high pressure water to pack it down around the vault to eliminate air pockets that would eventually cause the ground to sink.

    Ron, I had a horrible experience with a Ouija board when I was 13 years old. My friend and I decided to play it down her basement on a Summer afternoon. Now she had a golden retriever which was always by our side but the minute we started playing the game the dog started crying and ran upstairs. I remember this like it was yesterday. We asked the board what day it was and it gave us some futuristic date, all I can remember it was a date in May but I don't remember what year. Then we asked it what day is this and the board answered the day the dead rise. The next thing we asked it is who are you and the board replied, "Satan the devil himself". We immediately ran upstairs and called my sister and she told us to throw the board away and we listened of course. That event terrified me so much that I will never have anything to do with that game again, I don't want it in my house or to be near it.

She didn't want her sons to marry any woman but the ones that could live up to her religious standards and they where high. So I believe ed bought into this whole heartedly while his brother thought she was nuts. I think he seen his mother in Mrs ward and when she rejected his advances he was hurt and felt betrayed so he killed her and Mary Hogan he seen everything bad in woman that his mother warned him about. I also believe he killed his brother and set the fire to cover it up. I think he killed Henry because he felt that he betrayed their mother in the way he thought and he also knew that with Henry gone he would have his mother's full attention

The eldest.
      Ed began digging up nearby, when he was left alone.

Pry it open, remove a limp, deadweight body and hoist that up out of the hole. Close casket lid, replace a vault lid and shovel all the dirt back into the grave. And then after all THAT, carry a limp body to a truck. I am a pretty hard worker. I am in my forties now. I know that I am missing a step that I used to have. But even in my prime, there is no way in hell that I could do all that work, by myself, even if I started at dusk, worked till the ass-crack of dawn, and not get caught by someone, at some point.
