Ed Gein Serial Killer or Not?

this is a photo of Ed Gein

Warning at this point in this post there are some very Gruesome Crime Scene photos that some will find offensive and others may not...However if you do not wish to see these photos please leave NOW!

     Ed Gein was a man that was only convicted of killing 3 people but was marked as a serial killer.  He had more of a history of going to freshly buried graves of both men and women and digging up their bodies.  When I think of a grave robber I think of someone stealing jewels and other valuables from our deceased, however that wasn't what Ed Gein had in mind.  His jewels and valuables were body parts.  He claimed he never had sex with any of the bodies because they smelt so bad, at least something he says makes a little sense.

     Ed Gein inspired a few of our favorite horror movies today, like Psycho, Leather Face, and Silence of the Lambs.  He wanted to become a woman and so he decided to make his own woman suit by killing women and taking their skin to make it his self.

     When the officers arrived at ed Geins house they found a female decaputaed, upside down with a crowbar between her ankles and gutted like a hog.


This is thought to be Ed Geins last victim!

     Once they went into his house they found a numerous of items!

Four noses

Whole human bones and fragments

Nine masks of human skin

Bowls made from human skulls

Ten female heads with the tops sawed off

Human skin covering several chair seats

Mary Hogan’s head in a paper bag

Bernice Worden’s head in a burlap sack

Nine vulva's in a shoe box in which admitted to wearing

Skulls on his bedposts

Organs in the refrigerator

A pair of lips on a draw string for a window shade

A belt made from human female nipples

A lampshade made from the skin from a human face



Human mask

This is the bowls used by ed gein made from human skulls!

     What makes a serial killer?  Is it the number of victims, or just the thought process put into the crime?  This is a man that had his first orgasms when he first watched a hog get dressed out!  He had an infatuation with dismantling human bodies...
