Ed Gein
Edward Theodore Gein was born to Augusta Crafter (1878–1945) and George P. Gein (1873–1940) on August 27, 1906, in La Crosse, Wisconsin. His parents, both natives of Wisconsin, had married on July 7, 1900, and their marriage produced Ed and his older brother, Henry G. Gein (1901–1944).
George Gein was a violent alcoholic who was frequently unemployed. Ed and his brother rejected their violent, aimless father, as did Augusta, who treated her husband like a nonentity. Despite her deep contempt for her husband, the atrophic marriage persisted. Divorce was not an option due to the family’s religious beliefs. Augusta operated the small family grocery store and eventually purchased a farm on the outskirts of another small town, Plainfield, which became the Gein family’s permanent home.
Augusta moved to this desolate location to prevent outsiders from influencing her sons. Gein only left the premises to go to school and Augusta blocked any attempt he made to pursue friendships. Besides school, he spent most of his time doing chores on the farm. Augusta, who was a fanatical Lutheran, drummed into her boys the innate immorality of the world, the evil of drink and the belief that all women (herself excluded) were prostitutes and whores. According to Augusta, the only acceptable form of sex was for biological reproduction/procreation. She reserved time every afternoon to read to them from the Bible, usually selecting graphic verses from the Old Testament dealing with death, murder and divine retribution.
With a slight growth over one eye and an effeminate demeanor, the young Gein became a target for bullies. Classmates and teachers recall other off-putting mannerisms such as seemingly random laughter, as if he were laughing at his own personal joke. Despite his poor social development, he did fairly well in school, particularly in reading and the study of world economics.
By the time his father George died in 1940, Henry had begun to reject Augusta’s view of the world. He had even taken to bad-mouthing her within earshot of his mortified brother. In March 1944, the brothers found themselves in the middle of a brush fire on property they owned in a neighboring county. When Ed ran to get the police, he told them he had lost sight of Henry, but then led them directly to his brother’s corpse. Although there was evidence Henry had suffered blunt trauma to his head, the local county coroner decided he died of asphyxiation while fighting the fire. Gein then lived with his mother. Less than two years later, on December 29, 1945, Augusta died from a series of strokes, leaving her grief-stricken son alone on the isolated farmstead.
Police suspected Gein to be involved in the disappearance of a store clerk, Bernice Worden, in Plainfield on November 16, 1957. Upon entering a shed on his property, they made their first horrific discovery of the night: Worden’s corpse. She had been decapitated, her headless body hung upside down by means of ropes at her wrists and a crossbar at her ankles. Most horribly, the body’s trunk was empty, the ribcage split and the body “dressed out” like that of a deer. These mutilations had been performed postmortem; she had been shot at close-range with a .22-caliber rifle.
Searching the house, authorities found:
- Human skulls mounted upon the cornerposts of his bed
- Human skin fashioned into a lampshade and used to upholster chair seats
- Human skullcaps, apparently in use as soup bowls
- A human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; the deputies’ reports all claim that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, with some crime scene photographers claiming it was in a paper bag)
- The head of Mary Hogan, a local tavern owner, found in a paper bag
- A ceiling light pull consisting of human lips
- A “mammary vest” crafted from the skin of a woman’s torso
- A belt made from several human nipples, among many other such grisly objects
- Socks made from human flesh
Gein’s most notorious creations were an array of “shrunken heads.” Various neighborhood children — whom Gein occasionally babysat — had seen or heard of these objects, which Gein offhandedly described as relics from the South Seas, purportedly sent by a cousin who had served in World War II. Upon investigation, these turned out to be human facial skins, carefully peeled from cadavers and used by Gein as masks.
Gein eventually admitted under questioning that he would dig up the graves of recently buried middle-aged women he thought resembled his mother and take the bodies home, where he tanned their skin to make his macabre possessions. One writer describes Gein’s practice of putting on the tanned skins of women as an “insane transvestite ritual”. Gein denied having sex with the bodies he exhumed, explaining, “They smelled too bad.” During interrogation, Gein also admitted to the shooting death of Mary Hogan, who had been missing since 1954.
Shortly after his mother’s death, Gein decided he wanted a sex change, although it is a matter of some debate whether or not he was transsexual; by most accounts, he created his “woman suit” so he could pretend to be his mother, rather than change his sex.
Harold Schechter, an author of several true crime books, wrote a best-selling book about the Gein case called Deviant. In this book, Schechter mentions that Plainfield police officer Art Schley physically assaulted Gein during questioning by banging Gein’s head and face into a brick wall; because of this, Gein’s initial confession was ruled inadmissible. Schley died of a heart attack at the age of 43 shortly before Gein’s trial. Many who knew him said he was so traumatized by the horror of Gein’s crimes and the fear of having to testify (notably about assaulting Gein) that it led to his early death. One of his friends said, “He was a victim of Ed Gein as surely as if he had butchered him.”
Gein was found mentally incompetent and thus unfit to stand trial at the time of his arrest, and was sent to the Central State Hospital (now the Dodge Correctional Institution) in Waupun, Wisconsin. Later, Central State Hospital was converted into a prison and Gein was transferred to Mendota State Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1968, Gein’s doctors determined he was sane enough to stand trial; he was found not guilty by reason of insanity by judge Robert H. Gollmar and spent the rest of his life in the hospital.
While Gein was in detention, his house burned to the ground. Arson was suspected. In 1958, Gein’s car, which he used to haul the bodies of his victims, was sold at public auction for a then-considerable sum of $760 to an enterprising carnival sideshow operator named Bunny Gibbons. Gibbons called his attraction the “Ed Gein Ghoul Car” and charged carnival-goers 25 cents admission to see it.
On July 26, 1984, Ed Gein died of respiratory and heart failure due to cancer in Goodland Hall at the Mendota Mental Health Institute. His gravesite in the Plainfield cemetery was frequently vandalized over the years; souvenir seekers would chip off pieces of his gravestone before the bulk of it was stolen in 2000. The gravestone was recovered in June 2001 near Seattle and is presently displayed in a Wautoma, Wisconsin museum.

my family has land next to ed geins old land and they grew up with him actually. my grandmother dosent like to talk about him much but when ahe does shes says you would of never known he was the way he was if he didnt get caught. he was a good neighbor and always looking to see if anybody needed help. she says that the people of plainfeild did burn his house down because the chicago museum wanted to come up there for diggin around and the peeps didnt like it. they just wanted to forget it. so all you people who think ed gein is so cool you should really get to know your neigbor….they could be the next ed gein and u wouldnt even know it. would you like to be hung and gutted like a pig and made into furniture and shit! i bet not, and all those people who say yes to that then you deserve a fate as one of ed geins victims

Ok! So why are you tripping so hard on Christians? You seem to have serious anger issues and may need to understand that Jesus isn’t fiction and that He could save you before you end up in jail for killing us bible thumpers. You need to leave the bible and Jesus out of this conversation because He died for your sins and loves you enough to forgive you and me so that we can go to heaven with Him for eternity. No-one is judging you or anyone else we have no room to cast stones at people so don’t cast stones at us because we believe in Jesus. He didn’ do anything to you except love you. I will pray for you and your soul.

WE DON’T BELIEVE IN HIM. Meaning we think everything you say is bullshit and a waste of breath. God isn’t real he’s just an excuse for you assholes to take our money and make yourselves think your so superior. If you actually sat down and thought about it and put two and two together maybe you’ll see how it’s not possible for someone to have a kid when they are a virgin, or for someone to do no wrong, or the fact that money is the route of all evil and you all sit there and beg for it while the pope has all these fancy robes and you guys think your so much better.

Not everyone partakes in the same religion…Due to the violent mouths on here, I might as well say for future reference, I don’t care if you tell me to burn in hell.
I also agree with the fact that if you’re so disturbed and disgusted, you shouldn’t be looking into this anyway.

I have read this article because I am a criminal justice minor and a psycology major and Im concerned that any of you would find this person interesting. I chose him for my topic because his he was one of the first serial killers im America. The next thing I would like to address, Im not God I cant judge only God can. If Ed Gein has accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and confesed by mouth the Jesus died for our sins and through him can we only live eternally in his Fathers home. One of the Ten Commandments states Thou Shalt Not Kill. But our God is a forgiving God he is a loving God he loves everyone. Nobody was made perfect we all sin. And that is why Jesus was born and crucified. For you me and even people like Ed. Eds mother was known to be religious. well there are so many religions out there that do not teach the word of God they teach thing way beyond. His mothers religious beliefs cannot be blamed for his sick behavior. There were obviously other issues.
I will pray for each and everyone of you. Another Commandment is thou Shalt Not Have No Other Gods Before Me, and Thou Shalt Not Worship Any Graven Image. Have a blessed day and God bless you all!

I agree. After all, I can’t remember a time, n the Bible, where someone was praised or given immunity for murder. After all, God banished Cain for 40 years from his homeland, and was nevr allowed to claim any one place of his home during that period fer killin his bro, Abel. Anyone who thinks that killin will b forgiven jest by askin fer it definitely is insane…hmmm “I think I will kill, ask God for mercy so I can go 2 heaven, kill again, ask fer mercy again, and again & again.” As this example, how many x’s do u think yer gonna b forgiven? I’d hate 2 c what kind of world it would b if everybody received mercy pleas fer every law they’d break, or had broken. If that’s the case we’d need no jails or prisons…”Let’s jest mercy evryone!” Some ppl jest r truly ignorant or gullable 2 believe such b***s***.

i dont even know what to say to that. Ihonestly think that serial killers are sick and twisted. BUT i also think that there are things to learn from serial killers. the human mind is an amazing mystery. we will never fully understand how it works or why it works in specific ways. i dont think that being a serial killer makes you a bad person. some people are just born psychologically disturbed. it isnt something that they ask for. it be no better than telling a gay or a lesbian that they are an enemy to our country simply because they like the same sex. its spycological. something that can not be controlled and in some cases cant be helped.

youre religion contradicts your profession. You cant have a belief system so strong as to where you flaunt it about or you shall never succeed as a psychologist. So forget about your religion when it comes to reality and crimes. Religion has no basis over those things. Religion doesnt persecute the offendors. The only hold religion has are on the religious nut jobs who relate everything to their belief system. I, personally, do not believe in a god of any sort, to succcumb to religion is to kneel down and lose control of your life. So if your seriously gonna throw this god shit up then please switch to a different profession. For yourself and everyone else

I am really curious…why do some of you think that this man will go to “heaven,” The ultimate haven of good because this man committed murder, which is against the FIRST commandment? I’m not a Christian, in fact I do not have any religious belief…but I do understand the basic fundamentals of the Christian faith…and that just contradicts itself. This man was definitely ill, and his mother’s religious fanaticism clearly did not help, but being raised in the religious upbringing that he was raised in, he knew right from wrong. He knew that he was committing murder. And if that wasn’t enough, he violated the bodies even after death. To me, this does not seem to merit a ticket into “heaven.” Unless you are thinking that all sins are absolved after death and EVERYONE enters “heaven?”
Mark
October 9, 2010 at 6:46 pm
The Bible say’s, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and forgives us our sins and cleanes us from all unrightesiousness. Ed was mentally unbalanced and thus can’t be held accountable for his actions. If in fact Ed was a christian before he had the mental breakdown he would go to heaven, he may have had serious mental problems from childhood that just got worse. and again if he was not able to really know the difference between right and wrong then the Bible says he would still go to heaven…
Yeppers
December 2, 2010 at 2:23 am
i’m pretty sure you don’t “understand the basic fundamentals of the Christian faith”… don’t commit murder is not the first commandment… see no other god is… and anyone can get into heaven, even the mentally ill… so pleeeaaase don’t talk out of your ass so much anymore… K?

This is reality and history (not a scary movie). People who look up this website are interested in him and his ways. Not to idolize him but to try to gain some reasoning of why people act this way. For you to make a generalization about everyone who pulls this page is juvenile. Not everyone is looking at this to get shock value. This is what happens in this crazy world, I feel very sorry for the victims and their family’s but murder happens. It is better to be aware of the world then to hide from it and pretend that it does not exsist.

Ed Gein was truly a strange individual. But all you dumbasses that are saying “he murdered a lot of people”, go do your damn research. He only murdered 3 people. Two women and his brother. All the body parts were from graves I.E. already dead people.
stupid fucks that can’t read.. go somewhere else
smarter than you

You are the dumbfuck… he didn’t murder his brother. Sure, it’s suggested he might have, but never proven, and more than likely he didn’t kill his brother…. so you are dumb, fucker.

Why is anyone even hoping this man is as innocent as possible? He fucked up and disrespected a lot of poeple. End of fucking story. He is a maniac and its very fascinating, but dont give this lousy peice of shit any credit.

Ed only killed a small ammount of people. Yes he grave robbed and collected human body parts.Older cultures centuries before Gein had sacrfices,tearing out human hearts,wearing the skin of tribal warfare enemies. Gein wore women skins as a tribute to his mother whom he worshipped.

Ed Gein is my hero so dont try to assume what you think. Eddy was my freind and I wished I helped him. good bye.

what got into this person..
it was a nightmare for the victims..
they are very unfortunate they met him..
though it might be a revenge for his mother’s death yet its not the right way and specially it is a crime..
oh i can’t express what i feel about him..
what i can say is that he is unfortunate and i hate him…
he let some people suffer..and die without any reasonable cause..

i belive ed gein, is a master in his filed but im not a kller
he was very imagnative and ver deloded. only people around him could have infulnced him. his father was a down n out drunken basterd his mother becaome srtic and hard to bear cause of the lake of commitmen fron he husband and when ed’s broter died that must have also take n its toll. he mothers death, the thought of her being no more was far to much for ed to bear and could’t say ood by so decied in his own manner he would revenge her death. keeping and making carments out of womens parts was his way of bringin her bk. if anyone can give me more info on him id be very greatful

Ed Gein, By Far My Fav Murderer.
Wait..
BUTCHER!
All These Other Pussies Like Jeff Dahmer,
Eh.
Their Just COPIES Of The REAL Badass,
Mr. Gein!
He Was So Different And In My Opinion,
Ahead Of His Time.
I Love How He Freaked Out Everyone In Plainfeild.
Wheres The Badass Movie?
I Have Yet To See One…
But Yes. Ed Gein.
Beautiful Killer.
Wow Dumbass
May 12, 2010 at 1:20 pm
ummm cheyanne, if you are as big of an ed gein fan as you claim to be, your dumbass would have realized that a movie about ed gein was made in 2001 and another in 2007
Wow, Bigger Dumbass
May 28, 2010 at 3:33 am
If you would do your research, you would have realized that the Silence of the Lambs movies are not about Ed Gein. They’re based off of him and his Modus Oporondi. Buffalo Bill was nothing like Ed Gein; Bill was a pussy. Also, that movie did not take place during the sixties.
So please, before you call someone a dumbass, make sure you’re hands are clean of bullshit.

I play bass in Disconekted. My Great Aunt ( Elizabeth Adams )was dug up and made into “lampshades” by Ed Gein.
My grandfather’s brother ( Carl Adams ) was the leader of the mob that burned his house down. There’s your local connection. Our family reunions are held in Plainfield to this day.

When asked later by psychiatrists why he committed these atrocities, the only thing Eddie said was, ” I had a compulsion to do it.” Also I dig that slayer tune, but the one that takes the cake for me is ‘Nothing to Gein’ by Mudvayne. That song is more informative about Gein than that movie that came out in the early 2000s.

i really find this guy interesting he reminds me of 2 modern day cinema slashers he has the infatuation with his mother like jason voorhees but the self image changing actions like leather face, but has the social skills of the both of them. i know texas chainsaw was based off of him. i love SLAYER’s song Dead Skin Mask which is based on his graverobbing and skin suits. this site is pretty brutal keep it up

What are you doing on wisconsinsickness.com if that’s how you feel about this kind of stuff? And if you think what he did was really that bad, why would you wish the same upon him?
