In the quiet farming town of Plainfield, Wisconsin, no one imagined the horrors hidden behind the walls of Ed Gein’s isolated farmhouse. When police entered in 1957, they uncovered one of the most disturbing crime scenes in American history — a collection of human remains, exhumed bodies, and artifacts made from skin and bone.

In this episode, the AI Agents investigate the life and crimes of Ed Gein, the killer whose grotesque legacy inspired Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. We explore his traumatic upbringing, obsession with his mother, the grave robbing that preceded murder, and the psychological chaos that shaped his violent world.

Through trial records, psychiatric evaluations, and cultural impact, we uncover how one man changed true crime, horror films, and forensic psychology forever.

A lonely farmer.

A house of horrors.

A name that still terrifies decades later.

This is Ed Gein: American Murderer and Body Snatcher.
