As some of you know, Joe and I love to travel and see the sites.... we also love history. While we visited a site out in Wisconsin, we decided to visit Ed Gein's hometown and grave, since we were in the area... Call us weird, but its really interesting stuff. Its funny, Joes into serial killers, I'm into the paranormal, so it works out both ways!
For those of you who don't know Ed Gein, let me give you a quick rundown.....
From Wikipedia: Edward Theodore "Ed" Gein (pronounced /ˈɡiːn/; August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984) was an American murderer and grave robber. His crimes, which he committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, garnered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin.
Some very famous films were based off this man... Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre to name a few...
I'm going to leave you with some photo's we took while we were there...
His gravestone is missing cause people stole it long ago and we stumbled across this....
He's buried next to his mother whom he had many issues with.
One of the ladies he murdered is buried a few yards from him.
The empty spot is where he's buried.
Joe found it right away... strange..
Here's where the house and barn once stood...
The property.. who know's if bones still exist on the property...
