LA HISTORIA REAL DE ED GEIN | Lo que no te cuentan del asesino más macabro de todos los tiempos

You are a sheriff of a small town in the United States in the 50s. During your entire career you have seen everything. Horrific mutilations, kidnappings, traffic accidents in a few hours, in a few minutes, in a few seconds will leave you so shocked that for the first time in your life you are going to vomit disgust and fear. You are going to enter a farm, a farm of that small town where rare extraordinary things happen. When you enter there, you will see something that will leave you shocked.

Not only at that moment, but for days, weeks and months you will have nightmares with what you have lived. Friends, today we are not going to deal with any case, and today in the corner of Giorgio we will deal with the case of the serial killer, surely the most legendary, mythical and terrifying of all history. The serial killer that has been the basis for the vast majority of monsters and psychopaths in cinema for decades. Today, in this channel, the real and true case of Ed Gein. Before starting with the presentations,

I'm happy, my friends, to return to the corner of Giorgio after too many months of absence and I come back with a case that you have asked me countless times and that, taking advantage of the fact that the new season of Monsters is coming out, in this case, dealing with Ed Gein's life, I think it's the ideal and perfect time

to put aside a little bit the fiction that obviously that series is going to bring they can't make a documentary, they're going to make up things, they're going to make up other things to bring you the real story, with data, with journalistic articles to know the reality of one of the most fascinating psychopathic murderers in history. And now, with this little introduction, in which I also take the opportunity to tell you that I am going to try to be more regular here in El Rincón de Giorgio. I know you love these stories,

I love doing them, what happens is that sometimes I have so much mess that it is difficult for me to focus, but I will try. I will try that this season, both the podcast, which of course will have weekly content, as well as El Rincon de Giorgio, have more content often. Okay? We start now with the story of the most depraved murderer I have ever brought to this channel. And I've already brought the worst of the human being.

So, let's start on August 27, parenthesis, I was born on August 28, I close parenthesis and I do not want to give more clues or look for correlations between this guy and me but hey I had to say it on August 27th, 1906, Edward Theodore Gein was born. Here in Spain we have the custom of calling him Gein, Ed Gein. It's not correct. And sometime, surely, I'll forget it during the course of this video, I apologize to linguists and anglo-speakers philologists,

but it's Ed Gein. Well, our friend Edward Theodore Gein was born in the small town of approximately 30,000 inhabitants at that time, called La Crosse in Wisconsin. His family is absolutely key to understanding this case. It is essential to understand both his father and his mother and also his brother. One of the great mysteries of this story, you'll see why. His father, George, alcoholic, violent,

an incapable person of maintaining a stable job for certain months, a human chaos, absent at many times, which was probably the best thing that could happen in that house, because when he was there and when he had drunk, which was the usual, hell was unleashed. but the mother is even worse Augusta Gein is, look what I'm telling you, even more important than the

own Ed Gein to understand what this is really about look what I'm telling you, the mother is more mother than the psychopath himself, than the murderer himself, than the repugnant being himself in which Edward became a few years later. Mother Augusta was a religious fanatic, in fact the term fanatic is short, it went beyond religious fanaticism, it went beyond being an ultra conservative person. We are already entering the field of paranoia, in the field, surely, of mental illness.

Augusta was a person, who it is true that she had to raise her children almost alone, but what she instilled in them was terrible. She said that all women, except herself, were prostitutes,

were evil, and were sinners. And throughout her life, she tried to prevent Edward and his brother from having contact with them. But not only with the women, who were probably the center of her obsession, but also with anyone else. She wanted to create a kind of closed family, in which she was a kind of goddess for her children. In Edward's case, this worked perfectly.

He adored his mother. I would even say that beyond the adoration, an obsession, what Edward felt for his mother is even difficult to express with words. It goes beyond just listening to her. She was his totem, she was his guide. And that caused, as is logical and normal,

that his relationship with the other people, with the schoolmates, with the other inhabitants of the town where they would later live and where the famous farm would open, which is Plainfield, a tiny, tiny town of about 500-600 inhabitants where everyone knew each other and everyone knew how rare that family was, would make it difficult for social to interact with any human being

other than his own mother. We haven't talked about the brother yet. The brother was also like Edward. The brother Henry Gein, born 5 years before Edward, was quite different.

He did manage to get rid of that adoration for his mother, he faced her when he considered that he was being irrational and his relationship was complicated, it was difficult and that of course created a huge problem with his own brother. We had two half-faced brothers, although there were times when they did

support each other, but half-faced because one was clear that what his mother said was sacred and the other one, many times, thought that his mother was being paranoid and that she was making his own life difficult. What did the schoolmates say? And you know that this is very important in these cases in which we do have a lot of evidence and many stories. What did the schoolmates say about Ed Gein? What did they say about him? Well, as you can imagine, due to the cacao that was in that house, he was a boy who did not relate to

almost anyone, he spoke to him and answered you in a very laconic way. It is possible that at that time he also had some kind of psychological or psychiatric problem, but obviously no evidence was given, therefore all this is a conjecture, but he was someone who was always alone, he laughed, in many cases alone, who sometimes said sentences without much meaning, the other boys and girls avoided him, and he was fine with it because he really wanted to be alone,

he didn't want to have friends either, and above all, what he didn't want to have were friends. So his childhood and her behavior in school was bizarre and antisocial. Years passed, let's remember context, she was born in a small city in Wisconsin, a few years later they travel to the tiny town of

Plainfield. The mother is happy because one of the things that made them leave a small urban core and go to a very small rural core is that, of course, she hated with all her might the world of the city, the cars, the noise, the people, how women dressed, even how men dressed.

It was for her a nest of perversion, of demons, of all the worst you can imagine. So going to that farm was fantastic. There, in that little town, on the outskirts, in a huge farm of 155 acres, is where this very strange family is being made. In the year 1940, Father George dies due to a long-term bad life and a cardiopulmonary failure due to his alcoholism

and these two brothers stay with the mother. You can imagine the dynamics, but now we have to go to one of the great mysteries of this case and surely the first time Edward Kinn killed another person. We are talking about the fact that he probably killed his own brother. In 1944, just four years after the father died, when the mother was already the only authority figure, the two brothers were working together on that farm,

burning weeds, and suddenly the fire goes out and a fire starts. In that fire Henry dies. Ed's brother dies. And we only have the explanation of the survivor himself. He says that at a certain moment his brother asks him to go get help, he loses sight of him,

Edward goes to get help and when he comes back he's already dead So we would talk about an accidental death It's not that clear Henry is found far from the main focus of the fire First strange thing And second and most important, when the forensic examines the body

he finds that there is an important concussion in the skull Something very strange if the death was totally accidental. The official report says that Henry died of asphyxia because he could not leave the surroundings of the fire. Also a strange thing. They leave the cause open and there is no evidence to determine

that he really did not't hit him when he fell If you ask me, and if you ask the vast majority of people who have studied Edward Ginn's case There is no doubt that his brother, at a moment of arrebato, probably in a discussion while they were talking about his mother He grabbed what he found, hit his brother in the head, left him unconscious, maybe he already killed him at that moment, he got scared, went to get help and when he returned, the whole story of death by asphyxia was invented and he lost sight of it. I have no doubt, not one more, that the first murder was not one of the women who sadly later deceived and killed, it was her own blood.

And while all this was happening, the mother smiled. She would not smile for a long time because a year later, Augusta, the lighthouse of Edward Ginn's life dies of a heart attack and here things change completely he no longer has any kind of control, there is no one who tells him what he has to do

he has been left alone without family, he has no friends, of course he has no partner and is a person who from here on out clearly becomes an animal

that you would never want to be even 5 kilometers away from. Ed, as it is logical, is completely devastated. He keeps his mother's room for his whole life as if it were a mausoleum. Instead, the rest of the farm's house starts to accumulate garbage.

Rats circulate on the floor, worms, rotting. It's the house of horrors, it's the house of the Texas slaughter. It's that kind of residence. It has become a farm that could have been prosperous, in a place where you would never want to be, but where Ed feels comfortable, because he feels comfortable in that situation,

in his own chaos, and always with his mother, alive or dead, there with him. Let's remember that Plainfield was a small town in those small towns. In those years there had to be a minimum interaction. Edward could not live completely isolated, so from time to time he went to the town, he went to the tavern, he almost never answered what they told him.

There was only one topic that fascinated him, the Second World War and above all the experiments and the tortures that were done during that time. That topic made him talk a lot, he talked about Mengele, about the concentration camps, about the 731 squadron of Japan,, I have a video about this case, well, about this installation, which is absolutely terrifying, I recommend it to you, to realize that in that historical period, not only one country did barbarities,

but one of its great allies and one of our favorite countries right now in the world, Japan, did things surely worse. But well, let's say that Edward was interested in these topics. In the rest of the conversation he was strange. He still sometimes talked to himself, smiled at some woman, did not answer unless you talked to him about these topics or also about famous criminals. He liked criminology a lot, but not so much on a psychological level,

but on a morbid level. What could you do to a victim. Also from the 50s he began to collect horror novels and comics, such as, for example, Tales from the Crypt, I don't know what it's called in the different countries, here in Spain they were the Tales of the Crypt, if I'm not mistaken, and they were very morbid, very gory stories, obviously totally parodic in many cases, and fiction,

but let's say that he begins to be interested in the macabre. We are going to another darker terrain, right? He also looks for magazines where there is talk of murder, especially of women, where there are images of murdered, mutilated women. That was his hobby, we could say, right? And here we have to go to a specific date and important December 8, 1954 And this is the day

in which Ed Gein surely goes from fantasy to illusion to those macabre dreams in which he hurts women, to reality

That is the day in which his first female victim, Mary Hogan, disappears. Mary Hogan, 54 years old, had a curious profile, very different from a small town in rural America. A 54-year-old woman, divorced, the taverner of the girl, something that in many cases was considered a man's job. She was a woman with a strong character, someone

who could talk about any topic, who could talk with men, who could drink with men. She was bullied by the women of the town, who considered her too masculine, that a woman didn't have to do these things. But Edward was interested.

This woman looked at her with a ga eye, sometimes smiled at her, visited the tavern more than usual, he felt a fascination for this woman, maybe because her supposed strength, her more authority figure being a woman,

could remind him of his mother in some way. But the thing is that he starts to obsess with Mary until he kidnaps her and kills her. In such a small town, when someone disappears, it is the news of the year. Obviously, the whole town talked about it, but nobody, look, nobody thought that this retarded boy, well, man, we are talking about that he was a certain age, this man, a little bit dumb, could have had the courage to grab a woman like Mary,

a woman of arms, and even murder her himself, when they once asked him, and he was in a good mood, he said, I have her in the farm, I have kidnapped her, and the others, well, either laughed or took it for the fool of the people who tries to make fun maybe the fool thing is not so misguided but of course that he was a dangerous guy, that they were not seeing that he had the wolf inside the sheep's corral, it is a reality for now I'm not going to tell you what he did

with his victims, or with his victim in this case, we just leave nothing for now, seconds or minutes we go with the second known victim, three years later. Bernice Worden, owner of the town's hardware store, also disappears. And this is where we find the key, one that was obviously not a very smart killer, but you'll see that he was quite an idiot,

and this caused the police to be able to find him quickly, because Bernice's son, Frank, when he goes to the hardware store, finds blood, the register box open and the last receipt he had kept was a sale of antifreeze to ... You guessed it, Edward King. So Frank goes to the police The police, as it is logical, has to follow the trail The only one there is at this time is Edward's In addition, a friend, a friend in quotes Well, a person who could get along with Ed, who was Bob Hill

Explains that he saw him with blood on his hands that day And he replied that he was dismembering a deer Which was something that could have happened, but of course it was not the case. So the police quickly go to the farm of the Guinn and there the horror unfolds. And as I have told you in the introduction, they find a series of things, such perverse mutilations that caused the vomiting of several of the police, including the sheriff of the county and it was an unexpected shock and that would chase them for weeks and even months

before going to what they find, so that you can see how little excited he was when the police first, before going to his farm, find him and ask him to accompany them the first thing he says to them is I have been incriminated they go a little crazy incriminated of what?

and he says of the murder of Mrs. Worden no one had told Edward that this woman had died the investigation had just begun that same day, at that moment

even before entering the farm and finding the Pandora's box of horrors they already knew that he had been the kidnapper and murderer of that poor woman. Let's go to one of the key points of this story. It's not just terrible to kill, which is the worst thing someone can do. To kill, to take another human being's life.

Sometimes it's even worse because you've killed. And what do you do after you've killed? Ed Gein's case is so paradigmatic, so famous, so infamous because what he did is so wild, so unexpected and then it's true that it has been replicated and copied at that moment it caused such an impact that they would never have said that it could be real

that the police find when they enter there I'm going to put images throughout the video, you know how my videos work. But of course, here are things that exist in the images. Are they real? Are they very easy to find? Or quite? Relatively easy to find, but you know how YouTube works. I can't show that as it is.

Let you know, I'll explain it to you, I won't go into all the graphic details either. Because there are very bad things. I will put the censored, covered images, etc. so you know. The first thing they find is the corpse of Bernice, naked, beheaded, hanging upside down, with one ankle tied to a pulley and the other crossed with a hook, as if it were the flesh of an animal. The images, I repeat, are very explicit, also taking into account that this murder had just happened. The torso was open in the canal,

he had extracted all the female sexual parts, the internal organs had also been removed, a terrifying picture, but this is not the only thing that was found. There is much more. Garbage, animals, rats, human excrement, all that in there. 10 human skulls, 2 on the pillars of Ed's bed and some used as ashes, as dishes, as bowls. Edward, in his madness, used those skulls to eat, to drink, he had them exposed there, he was enjoying himself and he felt a fascination for being there surrounded by that rot.

Perhaps what I am telling you now is the most famous thing in this case, a series of masks made with the skin of their victims and corpses. That is, he beheaded that person and all this with a lot of precision, which means that somehow he had to learn, not just with animals. I'm sure there are many more victims or that there are many more corpses than those who were found. He grabbed that head, removed the skin,

he removed it with precision so that in many cases it was almost all intact, in others he had to tear it apart and then sew it again. You have seen images for sure because this of the skin masks is perhaps the most famous or the most mythical of this case. And we continue with this, a vest, a vest of clothes, but made with human skin, poleinas made with female skin, a belt made of nipples, a box with female genitals, one of which was the one of Bernice, the last victim, chairs, lamps, wallpapers upholstered with skin, the organs of Bernice in the fridge, etc. etc. etc. There are more things, there are more. Everything you can imagine that can be done with a human

body, not so much, and we will see here, necrophilia, and among all this hell, one single room that was perfect, impolite, guess which one, right? The mother's room, which was immaculate, exactly the same as the day he died. One of the big issues of debate, precisely of this case, of this psychopath, of this murderer, of this monster, is if there was any kind of relationship after the murder, if there were sexual connotations. He denied necrophilia, he said that the corpses smelled too bad.

It is possible that he died a virgin, completely virgin, because no previous relationship is known , nor prostitution Nothing. Zero. Surely her sexual instinct was so off by her mother that she never dared to go against the dictates of that woman It's true that there are certain researchers, and here as I say, there is debate, that they do believe that there was a sexual component in these attacks on women's corpses I have a lot of doubts here

when we talk a little more about the psychological profile that I see in this monster obviously the mother is the key to everything that fanaticism, that obsession surely mixed with the fact that it is very likely that Edward had schizophrenia I have doubts I do believe that it is possible that at some point

I don't know if complete, but there was some kind of sexual fetish. We'll see when we talk more about why, in my humble opinion, he did these things. Obviously, Eduard is detained at that time. In fact, I will put some images of the detention, which is quite curious because they are of the very few video images that there are of Edward Ginn There is very little of him, there are no interviews And these video images are curious and interesting because it is one of the only ones you can see in the whole world Once they have him locked up there, here there is a little doubt because I have found sources that say that he was two days without speaking

Until even the nervous policemen physically attacked her and she ended up letting go. I have found other sources that say that that same night she confessed certain things. So there is a little doubt, it doesn't matter much, either at the beginning or two days later. The fact is that she ends up confessing and also says that the other corpses, she was digging them out of the cemetery which is quite fitting, but it doesn't mean that these two women and the brother we don't talk about that a lot, but and the brother

were the only victims or the only people he killed also in that confession he recognizes that he tried to dig up his mother's body he went to the cemetery of the town, managed to dig up his mother's body. He went to the cemetery, managed to dig up the coffin a little, opened it, saw the body, and in the end he didn't dare to do it and left it there.

The trial is very media-oriented, so far no modern murderer has been found who would do such barbarities. And here is one of the big controversies, we could say, because the kind of punishment he receives, which for many would be quick, say, the death penalty, life imprisonment, is different, since he is considered

mentally incompetent, which means that he is sick in the head and that he cannot be sentenced and judged in the same way as another human being who was in his right when he committed the crime, so he is admitted, and he will be there all his life, in a psychiatric center. In the Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Criminally Insane.

I almost said it right at the first time. Almost. In 1974 he asks for conditional freedom. Obviously they say no. He wouldn't get out of there alive. This man was a danger, an atomic bomb. It was impossible for him to not commit a crime again and not to kill again. And in the end, in the year 1984, July 26th, the year I was born, I don't like these coincidences with Ed Gein, there are already two and they don't make me laugh,

at 77 years old he dies of natural causes, of respiratory failure. That is, he has a long life, it's almost 80 years old. Ed Gein's grave in the Plainsfield Cemetery was for a long time a place of pilgrimage and a place of morbid and macabre tourism that obviously many people like

and that's why many people like these videos, talking about these terrible cases, I love both seeing them and doing them, so we are all morbid. It was a place of pilgrimage, the tombstone no longer exists because someone, no one knows who, stole that tombstone and right now his grave is a space of land right next to obviously his mother. Ed Gein was a celebrity in life, received letters from

admirers and admirers, his car, a Ford 49, was auctioned and paid a lot. It was displayed in fairs as if it were a show. Well, what we have often said, that in the end, when these people, no matter how bad they have done, go beyond the barriers of crime to become a popular icon, and this case is paradigmatic of that, people no longer see it as the bad done human being, but as a freak, as a curious thing to see, not to admire maybe, well some

crazy sure he admires it, but not to admire maybe, but to feel fascinated by his character. Norman Bates of psychosis, Leatherface of the Texas slaughter, Buffalo Bill in the silence of the lambs and I could continue with a few more are fictional criminals that are based almost 100% on the type of psychopath that was Ed Gein. I repeat, he has been a very important influence for terror decades and decades later. Psychological profile, here we enter a

complicated terrain and that obviously nobody will know everything that happened because we were not constantly with him. He spent many years alone or spent many years with his mother or spent many years with his mother, or spent many years with his mother and brother, there, in that farm, he had few interactions, so we don't know exactly everything he thought, everything he did.

That, obviously, Ed Gein was someone with serious mental problems, there is no doubt. The complete psychiatric studies that were done, determined that he had developed, at some point in his life, perhaps since birth, perhaps as a result of the death of his mother, he had developed an important schizophrenia. And why did he commit that kind of crime? So strange.

I mean, he didn't kill by force. I don't think he killed like other murderers, like Ted Bundy, like Richard Ramirez, like Zodiac, who never met and there was a very important part of the pleasure of absolute power to decide who lives and who dies. I think that in the case of Ed Gein, several factors are united one very clear is his vision with his mother, one of the things that are most clear is that he somehow when he made feminine accessories with the skin of the victims or put on masks with the skin of women, whether they were his victims or corpses He, in some way, wanted to resurrect his mother

or he wanted to become his own mother, this is very clear in the case of psychosis But in the case of Ed Gein, in reality, I think he had such a big fixation and such a brutal pain with the death of his mother that he somehow wants to make her come back. A sick person, a person who does not discern the reality of addiction, can reach such an extreme, right?

He can think in his perverse mind that, well, the way to be closer to my mother, to have her again, is to grab flesh, objects of women and transform them, those sinful women, those treacherous women, those evil women, and turn them into purity. And what was the purity? His mother, him and the relationship they had with each other, because it is known that Ed Gein dressed as a woman, there was transvestism. That's why the issue of necrophilia and sexual relations with corpses is not so clear to me.

I think that at some point there could have been a point where he did do something, I don't think so completely. But where I think the key of the whole story is in that obsession to feel that affection again, that maternal love of a person who is no longer there and that he found the way to get it with that kind of transformation, totally crazy, totally paranoid

and of a level of depravation that we can not even imagine normal people I think it was his way of being close to her besides that he probably had a complex of the type of the host and more things It is a fascinating case, it is a case that, like all of these, is terrible, it is horrible, but at the same time it has that point of fascination of the human being, how it can reach certain extremes.

Hello, how are you? Charlie! Hello! Another serial killer has appeared here, his name is Charlito, and we are going to say goodbye together this video. I hope you have enjoyed the true real story of Ed Gein. I can't wait to see the series, which has not yet come out. The protagonist is Charlie Hunnam, who is from the Sons of Anarchy series that I love, so I'm very curious.

And we'll see how it goes. But hey, here you have the real story. And I leave you to finish with a small fragment, nothing, 30 seconds, of the real recording of the voice of Ed Gein's voice, when a miniseries called Psycho, The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein was made, in which cassette tapes were found with fragments, not many, fragments of the interrogation and confession of Ed Gein, I will not put more, I put very little, nor do I comment on top, because he was really quite limited speaking, he was not very expressive,

it was not like a Richard Ramirez that you heard him speak even if he was a murderer and had magnetism even with his satanic crazyness or the very Ted Bundy that you heard him and was pure charisma In the case of Ed Gein we have a laconic person, a person who does not speak much, who does not express himself much so it's curious because you will hear his voice but beyond this, honestly, he has no interest. But we have seen his images on video and we have heard his voice. One was painted they said. Oh that one you know. You know when they died.

Yeah. And uh. I just. Looked the thing over. Is there anything like you know. Well did they start?

Let that stay.

Might be four years. So there's a bunch of photographers from the newspaper. You to take your picture, you want to take your picture? No, no, there's not yet. I want to keep the electric signal.

Would you enjoy it while you were doing it?

I lost the worst part of it, I mean, they didn't care.

I move better at night, you know, buddy.

Restless.

And now Charlie and I, who were already here at the door, calling like a crazy person, say goodbye. A huge kiss. Charlie, say goodbye. Come on. See you later.

I hope you have enjoyed this terrible story. Charlie, I have to cut your hair, you look like Donald Trump with this hair.

Ala.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Always to rogue.
