There were two more murders, 15 miles away in the silver-racement.

We have a weird.

...described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird religion.

There are certain serial killers we all know.

On July 26, 1984, one of these criminals died while serving his time.

The man was known as the butcher of Plainfield,

the Plainfield Gould, or by his real name, Ed Gein. So, if you like your coffee hot but your

bones chilled, sit back and start your day with a morning cup of murder. Ed Gein was born in 1906 to a fervently religious mother and an alcoholic father who was unable to keep a job.

The younger of two sons, Ed's mother Augusta, took advantage of the farm's isolation and kept her boys away from any outsiders and were only allowed to leave to attend school.

She would preach to her boys about the immorality of the world, the evils of drinking,

and her belief that all women, with the exception of her, of course, were naturally prostitutes

and instruments of the devil.

She would also punish her boys whenever they would try and make friends.

Thus started his unhealthy relationship and attachment with his mother and women in general.

After his father died in 1940, Ed and his brother picked up odd jobs to help support their mother.

In fact, Ed was a frequent babysitter for the neighborhood and related well to children.

Ed's brother grew increasingly worried about him and would often speak ill of their mother around Ed.

He had also found a woman who he had planned to marry and was about to leave the family home.

In May of 1944, while burning away Marsh, Ed's brother went missing. He was later found dead

from what they thought was heart failure, though some believe this may have been Ed's first

victim. Augusta Gein died in December of 1945 and left Ed devastated. He had lost the only

friend he had in the world and the woman who he loved the most.
