Ed Gein

Ed Gein, a while male, born on August 27, 1906 in La Crosse WI, is knows as one of Americas most evil serial killers. His father George, mother Augusta, and brother lived together on their 160-acre farm a few miles outside Plainfield, Wisconsin. His father George was an alcoholic and his mother Augusta was a demanding strict woman who always spoke to her sons about avoiding sin and per-marital sex.

In the early 1940's George died as a result of his abuse for alcohol, and just four years later, Henry died while fighting a fire. Ed was now fully responsible for the well being and care of his mother. For two years he served her demands until her death in 1945.


Once Ed had the house to himself, he boarded and sealed up every room in the family farn house, except his room and the kitchen. He stayed alone, quite oftey sexually fanticizing about the female body. He also found great pleasure in reading about what use to happen in the Nazi camps and filling his mind with images of sex and dismemberment.


Ed soon met his first friend, Gus, a loner just like him. Gein told Gus of experiments he wanted to perform but he needed bodies; so together, for over 10 years, the two began robbing graves for only female bodies. They also removed Gain's mother from her grave, and their gruesome actions towards the bodies included necrophilia and cannibalism. These obsessive fantasies of Gein led him towards the desire to turn himself into a woman. He smade a complete body sized female jumpsuit out of the skin of the bodies, and he would drape it over himself. He even made a female mask!


Soon Ed was tired of dealing with dead bodies and decided to start hunting down females of a certain size (the size of his mother.) He got away with a few murders, but not long after, police investigation led towards the farm house and Gein was finally arrested. After being held in court, Ed was pronounced guilty but criminally insane, and sent off to a mental hospital where he later died from heart failure in  1984 at the age of seventy seven.
