Gein at his arrest.
Ed Gein was born on August 27, 1906 to a violent and pathetic father and a religiously fanatic mother. As he was constantly unemployed, Ed, his older brother Henry, and his mother Augusta ignored the so-called 'man of the house.' Augusta took complete control. She opened a grocery store and moved the family to a remote farm in 1914--mostly to deter outside influences on her sons.
A fanatic Lutheran, Augusta ingrained her extremist view in her sons, teaching them that things like sex and drink were evil, and that of course all women were whores (excluding herself.) She compounded these teachings with violence against the boys. For example when Ed was a young teenager she cought him masturbating in the bathtub and poured scalding water on him after grabbing his genitals and calling them "the curse of man." She of course also believed that the only purpose of sex was procreation, and exacted such punishments often, in an attempt to save them from hell.
Despite her attempts to cut the sin from her children, Ed Gein persisted in the 'ways of evil.' At age ten he experienced his first orgasm just by watching his mother slaughter a hog. By the time their father died in 1940 Henry Gein had begun to rebel against his mother, even saying things--much to the horror of Ed.
In 1944 Ed Gein murdured his brother. Though it was in the middle of a brush fire and the police doubed it 'death by asphixyation' from the smoke, there was clear evidence of head trauma. Luckily for Ed this evidence was ignored, and he was able to continue living on the farmstead with his mother until a year later.
On December 29, 1945 Augusta died, leaving Ed all by himself. He wasn't that lonely, however. Not before long he took to exhuming the bodies of middle aged women (who he thought looked like his mother.) He would bring them home and create all sorts of things out of their flesh. The bedposts in his room were human heads, his furniture and lamps were upholstered with skin, skull caps were made into soup bowls. There were face masks made from actual faces. A necklace made of lips, and a belt made of nipples, a vest made of vagina and breasts, and of course, his finest creation. A woman suit. Leggings made of skin, a torso shirt with breasts included--He confest later that he would put this suit on so he could pretend to be his mother. He told the police later that he also enjoyed wearing ladies panties after putting them on one of the corpses. He would also grow sexually aroused when fondeling the inards of the corpses he exhumed. He never had sex with any of the bodies, however, saying that they smelled too bad.
Gein's kitchen where he did most of his work.
It was not, however, until Gein killed a middle-aged shop girl that he was caught. When the police suspected that he had something to do with the woman's disappearence, they went to his farm to have a look. The chief of the opperation was the one who discovered the first atrocity. As he walked into the barn he felt a brush against his arm and looked up to see a carcass hanging there. He didn't give it a thought, it being deer hunting season and all, but then he took a closer look. There was the body of the woman, hanging from the rafters, decapitated. Her head, heart, and intestines were found stored in various places around the house.
Hogan's body.
Ed Gein was arrested, tried, and lived out his days amiably until 1984 when he died of cancer in a mental instituation. He still maintained a very socially childlike personality up until his death.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And as for Ed Gein, his mother didn't let him fall at all. She just let him rot, clinging to her twisted old branches.
