Ed Gein: psycho murderer

Do you know the character from Outlast: Whistleblower, Eddie Gluskin?

Well, the creators were inspired in this real assassin, Ed Gein.

Ed Gein

Autorities discovered tha Gein had axhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophie and keepsakes from their bones and skin. Gin confessed to killing two women, Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden. 

Edward was shy, and classmates and teachers remembered him as having strange mannerisms, such as seemingly random laughter, as if he were laughing at his own personal jokes. He was sometimes bullied. To make matters worse, his mother punished him whenever he tried to make friends. Despite his poor social development, he did fairly well in school, particulary in reading.

Crimes

On November 16, 1957, Plainfield hardware store owner bernice Worden disappeared, and police had reason to suspect Gein.  Worden's son told investigators that Gein had ben in the store the evening before the disappearence, saying he would return the next morning for a gallon of anti-freeze. 

Upon searching Gein's property, investigators discovered Worden's decapitated body in a shed, hung upside down by roped at the wrists, with a crossbar at her ankles. The torso was dressed out like a deer. She had been shot with a 22-caliber rifle, and the mutilations were made after her death.

Searching the house, authorities found:

-whole human bones and fragments

- Wastebasket made of human skin

- Human skin covering several chair seats

- Skulls on his bedposts

-  Leggings made of human leg skin

- Masks made of human female heads

- Mary Hogan's face mask in a paper bag

- Mary Hogan's skull in a box

- A belt made of female human nipples

- Four noses

- A lampshade made of the skin of a human face

- Fingernails from female fingers

Eddie told investigators that between 1947 and 1952, he made as many as 40 visits to graveyards to exhume recently buried bodies while he was in a daze-like state. On about of those 30 visits, he said he came out of the daze while in the cementery, left the grave in good order, and returned home emptyhanded. On other occasions, he dug up the graves of recently buried middle-aged women he thought resembled his mother and took the bodies home, where he tanned their skins to make his paraphernalia. 

Soon after his mother's death, Gein began to create a "woman suit" - he could became his mother - to literally crawl her skin. 

Trial

On November 21, 1957, Gein was arraigned on one count of first degree murder in Wisconsin County Court, where he pled not guilty by reason of insanity. Found mentally incompetent and thus until for trial, Gein was sent to Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, a maximum-security facility in Waupun, Wisconsin, and later transferred to the Mendota State hospital in madison, Wisconsin. He was diagnosed with schizofrenia. the doctors determined Gein was "mentally able to confer with counsel and participate in his defense".

Gein was found guilty of first-degree murder by judge Robert H. Gollmar on November 14. A second trial dealt with Gein's sanity, after testimony by doctors for the rosecution and defense, Gollmar ruled Gein "not guilty by reason of insanity" and ordered him committed to Central state Hospital for the criminally insane. 

"Due to prohibitive costs", Judge Gollmar wrote, "Gein was tried for only one murder, that of Mrs. Worden. He also admitted to killing mary Hogan".

Death

On July 26, 1984, gein died of respiratory failure due to lung cancer at the age of 77 on Stovall Hall at the Mendota Mental Health Institute. His grave site in the Plainfield Cementery was frequently vandalized over the years; souvenir seekers chipped off pieces of his gravestone beforethe bulk was stolen in 2000. The gravestone was recovered in June 2001 near Seattle and is now in storage at the Waushara County Sheriff's Department.

I just remebered that in AHS Asylum, there was the murderer who made things with human skin, and I thought that it could be inspired in Eddie too, and RIGHT!! it was!! 

Remeber the bloodyface murder? Who had a mask, made of human skin, lamps and other things in his storage made of human skin?

  I couldn't made better screenshot, but in this room he had all kind of stuff to make things with human skin.

Then he had Lana as his slave, and then as his "mother", he told her to call him his baby, or something like that.
