Have you checked out my latest channel Business Blaze? It's interesting business stories with a dose of ridiculousness thrown in. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/show-UCYY5GWf7MHFJ6DZeHreoXgw
You probably didn't mean it that way... But there's no difference small or big town. If you're a decent person, you will be impacted. Big towns might have more homicides, but those cops aren't walking in on horror movie scenes on a daily basis.
@Touched by a Priest that is NOT their job. Not even in a metropolis where people are strangers. I've never heard of human furniture anywhere else except for bone chapels and some German concentration camps.
@Touched by a Priest not at all. I'm saying that the typical crime scene does not look like this, so condemning those that have a psychological break by saying "it's their job" is not helpful. In Waterloo Iowa there was a shooting a few days ago, 1 dead 11 wounded. Waterloo is pretty well known for gun violence, but that is above and beyond the norm. Nobody signs up to walk into the Gein house.
Parents man, it all starts with them. I hate it how some parents don't realise the importance of their job. They could make a great person, or ruin someone who would've been great. Or they could create great evil. So important!
@@priestessmikokikyo77 I beg to differ, if we were born "good" we wouldn't have to teach kids right and wrong, to me that suggest we are inherently "evil". That's not to say it's not the parents fault because it obviously is.
If you read the book Stephen king on writing he talks a lot about who he based Carrie on and where he got the bases for carries mother..think it was a neighbor he got paid to move furniture for and they were really religious and had a lot of religious iconography on the walls and statues everywhere and it stuck with him..but I wouldn't doubt he got inspiration from Ed gein as well.
Wait, so his brother was found in the woods with a trauma to his head, and the coroner deduced he died from smoke inhalation? What clown college did he attend?
@@ZeoViolet i just was being sarcastic. That's all. To me it's ironic that this man who said that his brother died from smoke hinalation but did not say anything for his head injury. Saying his got his diploma from a "cracker jack" box, for us in Canada, it means that he is stupid and that he doesn't know what he is talking about.
I had both, and I won’t claim that I’m healthy on the other hand I’m not killing people or digging up graves either I’m going to a doctor like you’re supposed to.
@@priestessmikokikyo77 Correct. They were of the Old Lutheran community, who adhered to conservative dogma and which emigrated from Germany when the Emperor tried to crack down on them.
@@gerardcollins80 There was a varient here in Sweden that was VERY misogynistic. Sadly, it was very influencial here until the fifties or so. Bad news stuff.
Yeah they wanted to make it a wax museum reproduction of the crime scene. The town burned it down. So they had to resort to turning his car into an attraction.
the tragedy Ed cause them they wanna get over but those profiteers that wanna use his house as an attraction make them feel more worse about their town
"Young Edward's childhood home was haunted by the twin demons of alcoholism and religious fanaticism." The script writer who wrote that sentence deserves an award. It is a really good sentence.
The town of Plainfield WI had a population of 640 in 1950, I can’t imagine what those cops experienced that day. Mon- nothing Tues- nothing Weds- chickens got loose at Edna’s farm again Thurs- nothing Fri - better go check out the old Gein house....”OH MY GOD!”
Does anyone else keep getting distracted by the comments during RU-vid videos and have to constantly rewind because they missed a crucial aspect of the story? Or is that just me? Ok me. Thought so.
@I put the 'hot' in psychotic Thanks for that! No content in your channel though. I've worked around, and with Criminal Insane people, and let's just say they're a "different breed of Cat!" 🤔
its not even religious fanaticism, i'm a religious christian and from what i see, she was making up her own religion. the bible does show lust as a bad thing, but nowhere in it does it say that all women are as bad as she described.
Ed Gein is a textbook example of how forcing your children into isolation from their social peers is one of the most damaging things a parent can do besides outright violence. Kids NEED their social peers to learn how to interact and be interacted with and parents who do this to their children have a tartarus waiting for them.
@@vaderole probably thinks religious fanatic = anyone who doesn't conform to his specific "Christian are murderous bigots" ideology. He will ignore that the woman's belief doesn't come close to conforming to any world religion, thus making the claim that she is religious dubious. She was crazy, sure, but hardly religious in that she followed any religion. Jairo, however, is probably one of the Sodomites even the crazy woman knew to avoid. >inb4 i never said that!!!!!!
@Timothy Verrinder I never thought about hurting or abusing another human being. Maybe you should see a psychiatrist about what you're feeling cause that doesn't sound right😅
@Timothy Verrinder no. You need to go back an rethink that statement. We dont kill because its wrong to take another life. Not because there arent any consequences. You can't just make your problems with someone disappear by killing....there will always be consequences. Here and beyond human laws. The physiological affect would tear you apart unless you are a psychopath which can't feel anything.
It is very difficult to understand a mind of a murderer simply because not all of them are crazy like ed geen or elliot rodger some of them do it because they enjoy killing and are completely mentally stable doesn’t that scare you that a sane person can get pleasure from killing
@@shanonlavallie1513 He is not buried beside his victim! He is with his parents! And brother. I’m female Edward gein NEEDED to be in a structured environment, were people could watch OVER him. Augusta gein made Sure her son was DEPENDENT ON HER! Edward was a time bomb that went off when his mother died. I’m not excusing what he did nor of his awful parents!
I'm not sure about the memes and funny sound effects you have started to add. Given the topic of the video, it just seems strange to hear Mortal Kombat sounds.
The only one that really worked was the baby when he mentioned babysitters because there was no sound. Visual humour is ok but th sound humour seems so out of place
On one level, you might want to feel sympathy for him given his Mom flew straight to Mordor. On another, _why_ was he agreeing with his Mom? On yet another, she was all he knew or so it seems. One thing's for certain; God said to LOVE people unconditionally. She did not LOVE people, she metaphorically jumped in a pit of lava.
The book Cannibal Killers by Moira Martingale, has a chapter called "Do Mothers Make Monsters?" It is about Gein and Kemper. So yes, your pattern might be on to something.
Moral of the story: don't be like Ed Gein's mom Got to love how she says "all females are guilty of lust!" Asexual women: "I guess we're a joke" I bet you could ask the most misogynistic person about Augusta's beliefs and even they would say she's overdoing it Edit: I guess the person who replied to this comment deleted what they said. What a shame
I'm glad you highlighted the second great tragedy of any of these murder cases. The first is that innocent peoples' lives were taken. The second is the fact that the offender is often the focus of the public's fascination. The victims are either forgotten or merely footnotes in their perverted story. The victims are the ones deserving of the focus and attention. Respect for the years that will never be enjoyed because of these monsters. Well done sir.
Even in the new series about Jeffery Dhamer, he is the focus (God forbid the victims of tragedy ever get more than one episode of attention) Yes, I am always interested in the mind of a lunatic myself, but pay your respects. Don't let the world forget the people we've lost
Codie Murphy He took on odd jobs as he needed an income. Babysitting was one of em and easy work too. I don't think he was into kids on any level. He was certainly more into dead ppl, necrophilia. He just started getting involved into killing, soon got caught.
this reminds me of a magazine I read on serial killers with '300+ shocking photos', and they wound up censoring the lady gein had up like a deer. just a black bar on her spine. it was in freaking black and white! what's so graphic about that that you censored it when tryna shock us?! I-i mean they showed severed feet and the boob suit! also, I found out the Sharon Tate picture's actually cropped to show just the body
Yo, I paused and had to give myself a second. I mean, it's still paused - it's 3:50 in the morning and only one light in my house is on. And it's very dim. But yeah, I mean, I can't just watch...
I showed this to my 12 year old brother he crying I watched the whole video after him I know why he scared I didn’t watch it with him big mistake he loves horror and thriller but he scared after learning bout him
@@akmodzzz1240 Sometimes real life can be way more f*ed up than any shitty horror movie... and the main thing is, we watch horror movies as just those: movies, products of imagination. But real life monsters are way more scary... 'cause you never know if it's not the next neighbour to you...
I've read Deviant. Ed Gein is one of the more . . . haunting murderers I've ever researched. One of the investigating officers said that combing through his house was like "an archaeological dig in Hell". They were truly dreading what they'd find behind the locked door upstairs, to the point that, when they found Augusta's room in almost pristine condition, it took them a couple of moments to register.
DRuff MoviesAndStuff idk about you but back in middle school you could research and present projects on serial killers etc I did one for my modern history class
My grandfather was a grave digger for a small cemetery outside of Cedar Grove, Wisconsin. He occasionally dug graves after dark - as it was his second job. One night a neighbor thought he was a copycat and called the police. Family lore says the neighbors thought he was Ed Gein. But he was already in custody.
as always, great content. I just hope that the "memes" you are starting to throw in, are not as successful as to have them increase in number in your videos. And if so, I hope they stay at a moderate volume.
Look up what the definition of meme is. That said, I agree with your point. The unfunny asides seem particularly out of place and in poor taste when shading such a brutal story. It's really not needed and personally not wanted.
Oh quit bitching, its free educational content, throwing in a joke or two theres nothing wrong with that, dont bother using the word meme tho, its become so overused the past 14 years its become meaningless, as to where people like you call jokes memes, a meme is an internet sensation for long periods of time, like pepe, sad frog, or feels good man frog, thats an actual meme, I know ive been meming since like 2008
@@Wolfpaw754 Meme was coined in the 70s and the term has been subsumed by, but is not necessarily related to, the internet. The term you're talking about is _internet meme_ . Books are memes and more specifically words are memes. Most memes have nothing to do with the internet. The term isn't overused as it describes something that needed a definition. That's like saying the word computer is overused. What else would you have people call something other than the word used to define it? It is misused a lot but that's not the same as overused. The pic in this video isn't a meme or even an internet meme tho. Also, you're complaining about people complaining and adding and additional irrelevant complaint on top of it. The irony is just beautiful.
i like how you tell the stories in a neutral way because all of those videos that focus on showing pictures and play scary music make me really scared and i end up having nightmares while yours are very informative and easy to watch! i want to understand killers more because im a very paranoid and easy to scare person due to something that happened to me recently so your videos help a lot. thank you!
Shortly after his arrest it was announced that Gein's property would be put up for auction. The night before the set date the house burned down in a 'mysterious' fire. When Ed was told about this his only remark was "Just as well".
@@stevencorey1278 The skulls would get bought by someone who would display them for money, like a freak show or something. Either that or weirdos that want to relive the crimes
My wife knew one of the nurses that worked at the hospital where Ed was. She said he was very polite and likable but I'm guessing that was when he was medicated. Oddly enough my wife's ex husband worked as a guard in the jail where they kept Jeffrey Dahmer.
He was never medicated! he was very happy in the hospital, people treated him nice he really liked it! until the full moon came to shine on him.. something about that is scary!
Just why ruin a very nice and professionally done video with cheap gimmicks. Very distracting and did nothing to lighten the mood. We watch because the content is straightforward and well done. This new BS isn’t needed.
Even insanity is not a constant state, it seems the worst snap out of it from time to time and show some humanity. Which makes it all the more terrifying
@@Jormaukko Im surprised he had the will to stop beating him with the brick. I may have miss understood but wasn't it the cop who mother he killed interrogating him? Which either way he would have never made it to the police station if it was me arresting him.
He's a completely different kind of evolving evil compared to his mother. I really don't think he admired her.. I think he loathed her deep down & in a twisted way of trying to show her how much it crazed him he left a shrine of her to fantasize about displaying the grief, abuse & berating she caused. It's just my opinion anyway .. 😊
SlumXx 81 this actualy makes more sense, a person that grew so isolated and probably left out by community, mixed with a traumatizing childhood cause of his mother turned out to extreme behavor..quite similar to todays school shooters
I don’t see why he couldn’t have both loved and resented her - the latter almost certainly on subconscious level. Those conflicting, and undoubtedly repressed feelings were very likely a contributing factor in his decent into madness.
My grandma used to tell me about how she grew up not far from where Ed Gein lived. People in town would always talk about how he was a pretty nice guy and a really good babysitter and all these other things and how he would help people out and even share his venison. But my great grandpa always got a weird feeling from him and would tell his kids to stay away and don't accept anything from Ed Gein. My grandma also remembers one day walking home from school with her sister, and Ed Gein pulled up next to them and offered them a ride home but they remember that their dad said to stay away from him so they declined the offer and ran home. A few months later the cops did the raid on his house and found out how much of a lunatic he was. People in town apparently seem to shocked by the news, my great grandpa was kind of like "I told you so!"
There's a small part of me that's always felt a little sorry for Ed Gein. Obviously I would never defend what he did, but the more you read about his background, the more you realize he never really had a chance.
@@507bredren4 You know most people don't have a limited amount on empathy they have to ration out, right? It's possible to feel bad for more than one person.
Plz stop with all this "trying to be down with the kids" Simon. No one gives a hoot how about cool you are or not. I just information on my favourite killers and mass murders thanks
then go watch one of the dozens of other channels who create content like this. or listen to one of the many podcasts on serial killers. hell, read a book if all you want is information.
Isolation and loneliness is one of the worst illnesses ever. Do you have someone stuck in isolation? Talk to them.. you might save a life, possibly many.
*1:36** Ed's mom is so creepy here... I feel bad for Ed and his victims. He didn't have the affection and true unconditional love he felt. He looks hopeless in the other photos.*
I adore your channel but what's with the small bits of "funny" editing in recent videos e.g. the deer saying "no" when you mentioned venison? It doesn't really suit the channel.
Agreed. Don't be like Buzzfeed Mysteries. They don't thoroughly research and pack the video with "comedy". I love comedy but I think murders should be handled more thoughtfully.
Nah, the start of his madness was his mother’s derangement. As horrible and evil as the actions Ed Gein committed, half the blame lies on his mother’s shoulders.
People pay attention to the perpetrator rather than the victim because a simple animal instinct : You want to know the dangerous to protect yourself against it, not the harmless.
People also want to identify with who they think is the stronger party. A lot of people see the vicitim as weak; they messed up and therefore some how deserved to die. This is completely forgetting the fact that the victims are usually well adjusted people who were never given a chance to fight back because the perpetrator never would have risked it. Bundy didn´t fare too well the few times one of his "prey" fought back.
I think you're both wrong. It's because the perpetrator is inherently more interesting. There are no specific characteristics of someone who is brutalized and murdered those victims are just normal people. Only an abnormal person would do those type of things.
and an alcoholic father. Seems to be a trend with serial killers and delinquents in general. Being dragged up by an abusive family can have extreme repercussions in future. The lesson here is, look after and care for your children.
Ever get the feeling he gets thrown off by what he has to read to the camera. "What are we doing today? Ed Gein? Damn im going to need a whiskey and a shower after this"
Of all the stories I’ve heard and criminals I’ve researched...Ed Gein has always stuck with me and given me absolute chills. It’s just horrifying no matter how many times I hear his story.
"Dance with the dead in my dreams, listen to their hallowed screams, the dead have taken my soul, temptations lost all control" -Slayer " Dead skin mask"
honestly I think it was probably just venison, they already talked about how the state is know for its hunting culture, and also the meat (🤮) he would have gotten was from deceased people from a graveyard... that's not the kind of meat you look at and go "yeah this'll be fine to eat". And a kind of dark note to add here: apparently human meat tastes like hard porc; which really doesn't resemble venison
He was not a Cannibal he didn’t even have sex with them because they smelled too bad. He was just extremely sick and isolated same thing kind of happened with Richard Chase but more murders came from Richard Chase.
@@paulziolo9241 well Paul it's a joke but I'll explain it. A necrophiliac fucks dead bodies, so it's solid logic that if the host (the human) is dead the std won't survive either. Kuru (which I had to google), that's eating dead brains, and specifically dead infected brains which seems to exist in only one country. So two entirely different things. Drove through his town today, and if ya watch Bates Motel on Netflix, ...well I wouldn't doubt for a second that the town was as fucked up as they portray....even if it is just TV.
Hello from naughty LaCrosse Wisconsin! There's more to this story in books and such if folks are interested. However, to really infuse upon you the "celebrity " for lack of a better term, Gein could still get the headlines at death. I worked for a radio station back then with the old news teletype machines. Big stories would ring bells based on importance. Barneveld tornado- 4 bells, Reagan being shot - 6. Ricky Nelson plane crash- 5 bells. When Ed Gein died the newsroom went nuts. I was on the air doing the weather, and the bells wouldn't stop. He must have gotten 20 to 30 bells. I could hear from the studio, quickly put on a cart and ran into the newsroom. It read " NEWSFLASH: The entire state of Wisconsin can breathe a collective sigh of relief as serial killer and cannibal Ed Gein has finally died." I tore the story off the teletype and read it on the air. Eddie had more bells than Ronald Reagan, Ricky Nelson, and an F5 tornado that wiped out a small town. Only in Wisconsin. Ta.
As a reminder, Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1853 and was the earliest state to ever abolish it. It's why Dahmer didn't end up on a gurney for his gruesome crimes. Between Dahmer, Gein and Anderson, Wisconsin has a lot of infamous killers.
1:10 - Chapter 1 - Birth of a monster 4:20 - Chapter 2 - A boy's best friend is his mother 7:25 - Chapter 3 - "We all go mad a little sometimes" 10:40 - Chapter 4 - Arrest (the house of horrors) 13:30 - Chapter 5 - Aftermath (the celebrity psycho)
I'd say calling Gein "famous" is giving him too much credit. His name is known, and he is absolutely "infamous", but "fame" is reserved for those that achieve notoriety for non-demonic achievements.
