What are some fascinating facts about serial unalivers?

0:04.9

When police eventually came to the house of Ed Gein, they found an absolute pigsty.

0:10.6

Gein had been living alone since the death of his brother in a barnfire,

0:14.2

and it speculated that Gein may have orchestrated this same disaster.

0:17.9

Anyway, he'd let much of the house go into disrepair.

0:20.7

They found countless body

0:22.3

parts from his various grave-dicking excursions, including a bag of wilted organs, and of course,

0:27.9

the infamous skin lampshade, and a half-finished suit made of human skin. There were maggots

0:33.4

living in old dishes in the kitchen. It was the kind of disorganized mess that you would expect from a man who spent his nights completely disconnected from reality.

for details to investigators after his capture, Gein requested the same meal. Peewee Gaskins,

1:24.9

most prolific serial killer in South Carolina, drove around in a hearse with

1:29.0

a bumper sticker that read, I haul dead people. He told people that he needed it to take the

1:34.0

bodies of the people that he killed in his private cemetery. He claimed to have killed between

1:38.0

100 and 110 people. In the John Wayne G case, there were so many bodies crammed underneath the house that the bodies fused together, and the bones had to be sorted for more than two years to put together the full skeletons.

1:52.0

I think the fact that Ed Gein only killed two people is amazing because he's one of the most well-known serial killers.
