Ed Gein, also know as the, "Butcher of Plainfield" was one the worlds most sickest, demented, calm, fucked up murderers ever. In the book, "Deviant" by Harold Scheckter he tells about the early life of Gein and his family. Ed Gein had this droop over his one eye in which kids made fun of him for it. His mother was a strong Christian woman who was pretty much the blood flow of their family. The father was a lazy POS and he did have a brother but I don't remember much about him.
Gein's mother never let him hangout with girls or have friends so he was really sheltered. His only source of entertainment and fun was reading comic books. These comic books were full of Native American and Nazi's and cannibalism. Of course this is something that sparked Ed Gein's sick future but I also think the mother had a lot to do with that as well.
Gein was obsessed with collecting female body parts. He would collect vaginas, lips, scalps, and he would salt them to preserve them. He Killed larger women and he dug his mothers grave and brought her back to his house and stored her in her original room that was sealed shut and kept clean like the way she had it. This was apparently Gein's plan all along.
Gein also killed his brother. It's not a definite thing but it was something that pointed in his direction even though no one prosecuted him for it. I know that he set these woods on fire and guided his brother through them. When the police came Gein led them right to where his brother died. That kind of made the cops a little suspicious that Ed couldn't find his brother but yet he brought them right to the spot of his body. The cops also noted that Ed's brother had bumps and bruises on his forehead from a rock. There was no way he could've fallen and done that to himself.
One that's really striking about Ed Gein is that he was a calm man. People didn't expect anything like this from him. They said he was nice and quiet. When he was in jail he admitted everything without hesitation. He seemed like a normal man and acted like all was well. Maybe in his head he didn't feel as if he was doing something wrong? It's craziness.
The book "Deviant" is a definite must read. I might have been off with a few things here and there. It's probably one of the best books I've ever read. Also the most fucked up. The book is 100% true and I had to do a lot of research cause some of the things I couldn't believe.
Things like this strike me. I always wondered what things go on inside of a persons head when they want to mutilate someone. As sick and twisted as people like Gein might be, they're definitely interesting individuals.
