Albert Fish, The Gray Man

Also known as the Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria, the Brooklyn Vampire, the Moon Maniac and The Boogey Man, Albert Fish, commonly known for being one of the most vile pedophiles and serial killers of all time. After being captured, he confessed to molesting over 200 children after torturing them. Fish was a small, gentle looking man who appeared kind and trusting, but when looking back at his tactics and crimes, you can't help but let your jaw drop. He was eventually executed and according to rumors, he turned his own execution into a fantasy of pleasure. The sick monster boasted that he "had children in every state" and was also suspected of 5 murders in his life. He also told officials he liked chopping off childrens butts, and roasting them for his dinner.

Born in Washington D.C. to a family with a long history of mental illness, Fish was sent to an orphange which he described a place of brutality where he was exposed to regular beatings and sadistic acts of brutality. With having very little education, he grew up learning to use his hands bore than his brains.

Fish would lure children away from their homes, torture them in various ways including using a paddle attached with sharp nails, then rape them and often end with murdering and cannibalizing his unfortuunate young victims.also found enjoyment from pushing needles deep into his skin and private parts.
In 1898 he married and later fathered six children. The children led average lives up until 1917, after Fish's wife ran off with another man. Thats when Fish occasionally asked them to participate in his sado-masochistic games. One game included the nail filled paddle Fish used on his victims. He would ask his children to paddle him with the weapon until blood ran down his legs.
Fish was arrested and immediately began confessing to killing young Grace Budd and several hundreds of children. Fish, smiling as he described the grizzly details of the tortures and murders, appeared to the detectives as the devil himself.
On March 11, 1935, Fish's trial began and he plead innocent by the reason of insanity. He clained it was voices in his head telling him to kill children that made him do such horrendous crimes. Despite this, the jury found him sane and guilty after a  10-day trial. He was sentenced to die by electrocution.
