This is the concluding part to our deep dive into a truly dark case.

That of a man so disturbed & deranged his crimes can only be described as like something from the most terrifying of horror films.

Except what you’re about to hear really happened ..

Local oddball Ed Gein was caught by local sheriffs in Plainfield Wisconsin after the sudden disappearance of Bernice Worden led them directly to his isolated property, situated on the edge of town .

From there they had the task of searching further into his dark,filthy house thus uncovering horrors so unimaginably disturbing & grotesque that the case has been revisited & analysed many times since it occurred back in 1957.

Not only was Gein found to be responsible for killing at least 2 women , but it was also revealed he had been creeping into local cemeteries in the dead of night to dig up the graves of women who had been buried there.

After taking their corpses home to fashion keepsakes from their bones & skin he would use said keepsakes to wear, to eat from and even to hang in his squalid home.

His vile night time antics led to Gein being recognised, even to this day, as one of the most notorious killers in true crime history thanks to the depravity of his ghoulish crimes .

Unsurprisingly it also led to his case inspiring several different well known horror films.

Ed Gein has long since died but the horror of what took place on his filthy property back in 1957 still baffles people the world over to this day.

It’s remembered as a case so bizarre & so grisly , that it is hard to find any other quite like it ..

This is episode 88: Ed Gein ‘The Plainfield Butcher’ Part 2
