Edward Gein also known as “The Butcher of Plainfield” or “The Plainfield Goul”, was an American murderer, suspected serial killer and body snatcher. He admitted to the murders of two women, Mary Hogan in 1954 and Bernice Worden in 1957, but was believed to be connected to several unsolved cases. Following Bernice Worden’s disappearance, police investigated Gein’s home and made a gruesome discovery. Inside his home police found he was keeping human organs inside of jars and had fashioned clothing and furniture out of human bones and body parts. But not only that, Gein readily admitted to digging up corpses to practice necrophilia and to make masks and suits out of human skin. His horrifying crimes inspired several fictional characters in horror movies like that of Norman Bates in Psycho, Leatherface in Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs. So, was Edward Gein’s born with a sinister mind or was he created into having one?
