Edward Theodore Gein, also known as the Butcher of Plainfield and the Plainfield Ghoul, was an American murderer, possible serial killer, and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety in 1957 after authorities discovered that he exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned keepsakes from their bones and skin. He also confessed to killing two women: tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954 and hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957. Gein was initially found unfit to stand trial and confined to a mental health facility. By 1968 he was judged competent to stand trial. He was found guilty of the murder of Worden but was found legally insane and thus was remanded to a psychiatric institution. If you like my videos, please consider joining my Patreon.
