In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
changed the face of horror.

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,360
But the most terrifying part?

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,040
It was based on true events.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,560
There really was a Norman Bates.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,400
His name?

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,040
Ed Gein.

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,760
The Plainfield Butcher.

00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,520
The Body Snatcher.

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,520
The ghoul who transformed
the corpses of his victims

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,720
into a skinsuit
to remind him of his dead mother.

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,800
Gein not only inspired Norman,
but also an entire culture

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,240
of cinematic psychos
that haunt our dreams.

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Now, 63 years later,
on the anniversary of Ed's arrest,

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,200
and for the very first time,
we seek proof and answers.

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,400
Does Ed Gein still torment
Plainfield, Wisconsin today?

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,880
Mary?
Will the evil spirit of Ed Gein

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,280
and the atrocities committed here...

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,600
I don't even want to see this.
Oh, God!

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,280
...forever haunt
this small Midwestern town?

00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,920
It is November 12th, 2020.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,040
And I'm in Plainfield, Wisconsin.

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,760
Population just barely over 900.

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,520
I'm here to investigate claims of
the paranormal by local residents

28
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,960
who believe the spirit of Ed Gein,

29
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,040
one of the most monstrous killers in
American history,

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,240
is haunting this community.

00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,760
On the night of November 16th, 1957,

33
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,280
a missing persons investigation
was underway in Plainfield.

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,800
Bernice Worden, owner of the local
hardware store,

35
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,600
had vanished that morning
after a visit

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,040
from the town's reclusive handyman,
51-year old Ed Gein.

37
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,800
With the suspect
already taken into custody,

38
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,600
investigators executed
a search warrant on his home.

39
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,040

(PANTS)

44
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,040
By morning, the depth of Gein's
depravity had been fully revealed.

45
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,160
Not only did police find Bernice
Worden's decapitated body

46
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,320
hanging from the rafters,
they also uncovered a chair

47
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,040
upholstered with human skin,
skulls turned into bowls,

48
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,640
silverware made from bones,

49
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,720
a belt made from nipples,

50
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,840
and, finally, Gein's masterpiece,

51
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,240
a suit sewn together
from the skins of multiple women.

52
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,760
Amongst the grisly collection,

53
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,960
police also found the face
of Mary Hogan,

54
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,920
a Plainfield tavern owner
who'd mysteriously disappeared

55
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,160
in the middle of a shift
three years earlier.

56
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,840
Bernice and Mary were the only women
Gein admitted to killing.

57
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,880
The other ten, he had dug up
from the local cemetery

58
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,200
to use in his creations.

59
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,560
Is it any wonder
that many Plainfield residents

60
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,800
believe the spirit of Ed Gein
still terrorises this area?

61
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,880
That's why I'm here.

62
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Ever since Ed Gein's
house of horrors was discovered,

63
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,360
Plainfield, Wisconsin, has been
a hotbed of paranormal activity.

64
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,120
The activity runs the gamut
of everything from personal attack,

65
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,600
people being scratched, shadowy
figures, disembodied voices,

66
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,400
and some of the residents actually
believe the spirit of Ed Gein

67
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,600
is making them physically ill.

68
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,840
Here, I have several sites of
interest where the inhabitants

69
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,560
and the owners claim to have extreme
paranormal activity.

70
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,960
My goal is to investigate and
interview everybody we possibly can.

71
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,680
And right now, we need to head to
our first location,

72
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,840
which is the original home
of Ed Gein, the Ed Gein Farm.

73
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,960
So, right now,
we're going through the heart

74
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,280
of small town, downtown, Plainfield.

75
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,320
It's so small, it's so remote

76
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,000
that you can imagine how close-knit
it must be.

77
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,920
And when you drive through here,
you can just only imagine

78
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,320
how much the Ed Gein murders
affected this community.

79
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,120
It must of have just sent shock
waves right through the whole town.

80
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,520
Cindy Kaza
is a renowned psychic medium

81
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,440
who can communicate
with the spirit world.

82
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,080
I've asked her to meet me
at Ed Gein's property

83
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,560
and have only told her the basic
details of the case.

84
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,760
As we approach the Gein farm,
I'm definitely getting excited,

85
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,800
got a nervous energy about me,

86
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,360
I just wanna get out there,
see what I can see,

87
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440
feel what we can feel.

88
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,120
Yeah, that's it.
That's Ed Gein's farm.

89
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Right there's the gate.

90
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,120
It's kind of an ominous feeling
just being here in this spot.

91
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,840
This will be the first time
in history

92
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,080
anyone has been allowed
back on the property to investigate,

93
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,200
just five days before
the anniversary of his arrest.

94
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,200
In the months after the murder,
the Gein farm

95
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,040
became a ghoulish attraction visited
by locals and tourists alike,

96
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,320
eager for a glimpse
of real-life horror.

97
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,840
But that all came to an abrupt end
in March of 1958.

98
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,240
The farm where Ed Gein lived

99
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,000
and where much of the grizzly
evidence has been found,

100
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,000
has been levelled.
It burned down one night.

101
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,480
All these years later,
trees and brush have overgrown

102
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,720
most of the farm site. But Cindy
should still be able to sense

103
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,360
if the ghost of Ed Gein
still lurks nearby.

104
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440
(BIRDSONG)

105
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,600
I want to see if Cindy can sense
where the house was

106
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:37,720
and tap into the paranormal energy
on the land.

107
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,920
Cindy. Steve, good to see you.
Good to see you, too.

108
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,520
How's it going? Good. Thanks so much
for coming out. Absolutely.

109
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:54,600
So, we're about to walk into
a lot of energy that I worry

110
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,680
could affect us mentally and
emotionally, so just be on guard.

111
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,760
OK.
Yeah. Absolutely.

112
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,840
I couldn't agree more.
Yeah.

113
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,920
Yeah. (SIGHS) There's gotta be
something really significant

114
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,280
about this area right here.

115
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,080
It's like, I keep feeling there,
but then they're like, "No, go back,

116
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,160
stand right here, stand right here.

117
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,080
This is where you need to be."

118
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,000
So, I need to trust it. So, it
should be right...

119
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,400
..right there.

120
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,960
You're spot on. This is exactly
where the Ed Gein farm house was.

121
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,120
It's super intense here.

122
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,400
So every... Everything has energy
attached to it.

123
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,520
So what I want to do
is touch the ground

124
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,760
and see what feelings or images come
to me when I do that.

125
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,880
(OK.)

126
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,800
Oh, wow! That's not good.

127
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,520
(GROANS)
I-I-I just keep seeing blood.

128
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,800
I keep seeing throats being slit
and blood pouring out of the neck.

129
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,880
Is there a hill?

130
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,800
Or is there, like, a...

131
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,760
any part of this land
that has a little bit of a hill,

132
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,200
or a mound or something?

133
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,200
I think there's a bit of a slope
like that about 20 yards this way.

134
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,240
A mound. The hill...
I keep...

135
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,960
I keep seeing it, but I keep feeling
there are bodies buried there.

136
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,800
There's bodies buried there.
There's more...

137
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,840
There's more death on this property
that happened.

138
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,880
And... And there are pieces...

139
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,120
of remains spread out on this land.

140
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,200
OK. Um...

141
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,440
(SIGHS) In my mind,
I see this flash of a woman.

142
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,800
And this woman, she's wearing
like a nightgown,

143
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,920
like a sleeping outfit.
She is standing right there.

144
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,240
I can see her, she's following us.

145
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,520
I see her. Like she is... It's kinda
like she's stalking us, Steve.

146
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,320
She's very, very aware
that we're here.

147
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,880
And she's not happy about it.
I can sense her.

148
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,600
I sense her.
I honestly feel like it's mother.

149
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,280
I feel like she's here, honestly.
I feel like she's here.

150
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,320
And she's also protective of her
family's reputation.

151
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,400
She doesn't like it.

152
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,760
I believe that Cindy is picking up
on the spirit of Augusta Gein,

153
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,520
Ed Gein's mother.

154
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,240
We've only been on the farm here for
a few minutes

155
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,280
and she's already tapping into
Augusta's energy.

156
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,880
Mom, Mother,
is calling me a little witch.

157
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,960
She's...she's calling me a witch.

158
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,760
I feel her spirit still.

159
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,480
Her spirit still walks around here

160
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,680
and she is really pissed off that
I'm here,

161
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,880
because I'm doing the devil's work,
in her mind.

162
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,680
I sense her.

163
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,200
I honestly feel like it's Mother.

164
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,400
I feel like she's here. Honestly,
I feel like she's here.

165
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,280
And she's also protective of her
family's reputation.

166
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,040
So anytime we start to dig up dirt,
she's not gonna like it.

167
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,640
So the more that we uncover...
She doesn't like it.

168
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,000
She was an extremely
dominating force. Yeah.

169
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,840
From Ed's psych evaluation,

170
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,200
it's clear Augusta shaped her son
into the madman he'd become.

171
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,600
With Ed's father
consumed by alcoholism,

172
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,760
it was Augusta who ran the household
with an iron fist.

173
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,640
A domineering religious zealot

174
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,920
who taught her sons
that women were evil.

175
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,120
After his father died of heart
failure in 1940,

176
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,000
and his older brother Henry
was killed

177
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,040
in a suspicious fire
on the farm in 1944,

178
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,240
it was just Augusta and Ed
living together.

179
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,320
Townsfolk thought Ed was a little
weird and kind of effeminate,

180
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,640
peculiar for never starting a family
of his own.

181
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,720
No one really knew the half of it.

182
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,480
For this small Wisconsin community
of under 700 persons,

183
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:48,240
they remember the shock and the fear
that suddenly gripped them

184
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,320
when the grizzly tale of Ed Gein
became public.

185
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,600
Well, I've known him
ever since he was a little boy.

186
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:57,680
And he seems to be a little odd.

187
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,760
Odd? Odd. I always figured
he was just perfectly harmless.

188
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,640
Augusta died in 1945 when Ed was 39,

189
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,800
and that's when his behaviour
started to change.

190
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,720
Could it be Augusta's
hold on her son was so strong

191
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,440
that she controlled him
from the grave?

192
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,160
And I think that's exactly the
energy that Cindy is picking up on.

193
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,840
And it's extremely unpleasant.

194
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:35,120
I feel we're gonna uncover deeper
things...about this property itself.

195
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,040
A night investigation here,
I can only imagine. Yeah.

196
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,680
This entire investigation
of everything, be careful.

197
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,040
We should probably trek out
of here. You ready? Yeah.

198
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,960
We just got done
walking the Gein Farm.

199
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,760
I can tell you the energy here
at the farm is extremely powerful.

200
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,000
I can feel it, Cindy's picking up on
a lot of different things.

201
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,080
I think we're gonna stop now.
We need to head into town,

202
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,680
get our bearings and come back
with more information.

203
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,920
But we are definitely coming back
here for a full-on investigation.

204
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,120
While Cindy regroups before
tonight's investigation,

205
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,320
I'm headed to Worden's hardware
store in downtown Plainfield.

206
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,320
That's where Ed murdered Bernice

207
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,600
before bringing her back to his
house and stringing her up

208
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,680
and gutting her like a deer.

209
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,520
The theory is after Augusta died,

210
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,360
Ed was so devasted he would
do anything to bring her back.

211
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,440
The Worden's hardware store is one
of the most infamous locations

212
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,520
involving the Gein murders.

213
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,960
On November 16th, Ed went there

214
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,840
under the guise
of purchasing antifreeze.

215
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Bring your jug?

216
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,280
But most people believe his
real goal was to kill Bernice,

217
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,360
who reminded him of his dear mother.

218
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640
(WOMAN WHISPERS) 'Do it now.

219
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,600
Be careful.'

220
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,280
Some people even claim
that Ed heard Augusta's voice

221
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,960
urging him to do
these terrible things.

222
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,400
Do it, Ed. Do it now!

223
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,320
No!
(GUNSHOT)

224
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,360
After Bernice's murder,
fewer and fewer people

225
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,560
wanted to step foot
in the hardware store.

226
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,800
It went out of business
and the building was sold.

227
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,760
It's now a storage facility.

228
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,840
The current owners feel like
they're being watched all the time

229
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,160
and there
are unexplained cold spots.

230
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,760
And one time, a glass flew off
the shelf and broke on its own.

231
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,360
Ed Gein confessed to killing Bernice
Worden inside this building,

232
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,840
but the question remains, why?

233
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,960
The theory is
that he targeted middle-aged women

234
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,640
who resembled his mother
just to use them in his skin suit.

235
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:36,600
Hey, Cindy.
What's up, Steve?

236
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,480
Here you go.
Thank you.

237
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560
OK.

238
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,080
Worden's Hardware store.
Right.

239
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,560
We know Ed killed Bernice Worden
right here in this very shop.

240
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,560
And I'm wondering if the
evil from that brutal murder

241
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,960
remains here to this day.
Right.

242
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,520
Is Worden's even haunted?
And if so, by who?

243
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,520
Also, I wanna see if you can
pinpoint and sense

244
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,920
the exact location
where Bernice was murdered.

245
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,520
I've got devices
set up in multiple spots,

246
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,640
I've got infrared light covering us.

247
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,240
I think I want to
just kind of take a second

248
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,120
to feel into...where I'm drawn.

249
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,360
I'm here, right. I'm here,
but I'm also...at his house.

250
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,920
I can't separate my visions
from here and his house.

251
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
(BEEPING)

252
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,520
That beeping, where is that
coming from? That's the REM pod.

253
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,680
This device alerts
when a spirit is in close proximity.

254
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,760
Is somebody here with us?

255
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,960
(BEEPING)

256
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,040
(BEEPING CONTINUES)

257
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,640
I wanna do some automatic writing in
here,

258
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,400
but, in all honesty,
I'm a little bit afraid

259
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,720
to open myself up to the energy
of this...this case.

260
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,360
So, I'm gonna do it,

261
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,720
because I think it will help us
put some pieces together,

262
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,800
but I'm gonna need you to make sure
to watch my back. OK.

263
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,800
In case things get really weird.

264
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,080
100%.
Yeah.

265
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,800
(BEEPING)

266
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,160
(BEEPING)

267
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,240
This is insane, Cindy.
I know.

268
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,600
So you can sit right there and you
can put your lantern on the table

269
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,440
and your tablet.
OK.

270
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Automatic writing is a technique
Cindy uses

271
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,600
to open herself up
to the spirit world.

272
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,480
She's hoping to connect directly
to Bernice.

273
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,400
But the REM pod beeping is nonstop.

274
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,720
(BEEPING) Honestly, every time I
try to tap in or I start zoning in,

275
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,160
they go off.
It's like a distraction.

276
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,800
It's almost like...
to stop me from getting answers.

277
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,000
(BEEPING)

278
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Cindy's only been in Worden's
for a matter of minutes

279
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,960
and already the activity is through
the roof.

280
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,520
And now something is beginning
to target her specifically.

281
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840
(BEEPING)

282
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,600
(SIGHS)

283
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,440
OK, so the woman...who worked here,

284
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,120
the woman who had died,
he...he hit her on the head.

285
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Bernice was actually
shot in the back of the head.

286
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,320
(SIGHS)
That's what you're picking up on.

287
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,120
That's the hit to the head.
And then it also said

288
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,200
that like he led her
or she led him to get something.

289
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,040
Je must have come into the store
to get something or tricked her.

290
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,640
I feel
that's very much what happened.

291
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000
It's exactly what happened.
It's what happened.

292
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,400
He came in here to buy antifreeze.
Oh, my God!

293
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,160
I honestly don't feel
that her spirit is...is here.

294
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,280
It's not stuck here. I feel like

295
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:06,520
there's some psychic imprinting
thing that could happen,

296
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,120
or memory
attached to the building... Right.

297
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,440
..but I don't feel like she's...

298
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,520
..stuck here.

299
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,600
If you don't think Bernice is here,

300
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,600
what do you suspect is the activity
that the owners' describe?

301
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,680
The feeling of being watched?

302
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,160
Honestly, the thing with Ed
is that I feel once you start

303
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,040
tapping into his presence
or his energy, it follows you.

304
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,240
It follows you. It can be anywhere.
Once you're on that land,

305
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,240
it's like it gets into you.

306
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,720
(BEEPING)

307
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,200
Let's go take a look.

308
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,560
A lot of broken glass right here.

309
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,720
(GLASS CRUNCHES)

310
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,840
It sounded like knocking or tapping.

311
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,240
What was that?
Your camera died?

312
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,480
It's insane, the battery drain
in this building.

313
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,880
Everything's dying.
There was a knocking.

314
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,280
I heard it. I heard it.
If your camera is dead,

315
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,880
go ahead and put it down
and go get the SLS system.

316
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,320
Let's see if we can capture
an anomaly here.

317
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,600
Throughout
the investigation tonight,

318
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,440
we've used a lot of different gear,

319
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,040
but right now,
I'm gonna focus on using an SLS.

320
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:30,400
Basically, the SLS shoots out
a pattern of infrared lights

321
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,280
and anything that's
three-dimensional, like a person,

322
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:35,960
will appear on the screen
as an anomaly.

323
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,200
Well, whatever and whoever
is in this building...

324
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,840
..likes to mess with people.

325
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,400
My ear just started ringing.

326
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,080
It's weird.

327
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,080
His spirit is definitely here.

328
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,520
His energy
is definitely in this building.

329
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,960
(BEEPING)

330
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,160
(That's crazy!)
Mm-hm.

331
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,120
It's right next to you, Cindy.
I mean, right next to you.

332
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,120
I feel something coming close.

333
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,160
Oh, God!
Are you OK?

334
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,960
Yeah. No, I just had an image
of my ear being chewed off,

335
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,640
like bitten off.

336
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,400
There's something building,
it's coming right behind me.

337
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,320
I feel it in my chest.

00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,720
Something with my ear
being sliced off.

339
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,840
If this is you, Ed, are you
threatened by Cindy's presence?

340
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,520
Her ability to call these things out
as she sees them?

341
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,280
And now it's gone.
Hm.

342
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,960
I feel like he's not gone, though.

343
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,680
I'm trying to feel where...

344
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,160
..where the trail...
where the body would've been.

345
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,240
Where did this happen?

346
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,880
It's almost like
I wanna be right in here.

347
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,160
I do have something here
that may be able to help us.

348
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:18,120
Ed Gein used the excuse to come here
to Worden's hardware store

349
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,400
because he needed antifreeze.

350
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,840
This could be
a perfect trigger object.

351
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,240
Using a trigger item
helps to remind the spirit

352
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,360
of something
that's important to them,

353
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,480
to entice the spirit to communicate.

354
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,760
Was this the spot, Ed?

355
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,080
Is this where it happened?
Can you set the record straight?

more to the story.

There's no question in my mind, we
contacted Ed Gein tonight. I agree.

367
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,640
This is a really dangerous space
to be walking in.

368
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,240
So, that investigation
was extremely intense.

369
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,200
I had no idea we were gonna capture
that much activity,

370
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,880
or that Cindy was gonna tap into
Gein's energy,

371
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,960
basically right off the bat.

372
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,560
He can interact with us, he's aware
of our presence,

373
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040
and he is trying
to communicate with us.

374
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,760
We are definitely dealing with
an intelligent being,

375
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,840
it's an intelligent haunting.

377
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,400
definitely haunted.

the investigation at Worden's,

380
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,280
I truly believe that the spirit of
Gein was trying to attach

381
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:07,160
or attack or harm Cindy,
because she's a woman.

he was trying to get to her.

As a woman on this case,

388
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,280
I feel like I'm a target.
I feel like Gein wants to harm me.

I feel like
I'm a walking trigger object.

in for,

is haunted,

I'm curious if other locations
around town are haunted as well.

that the old Waushara County Jail

is actually haunted.

paranormal investigator

416
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,520
named Michelle actually visited
the old Waushara County Jail,

417

which is now a museum.

She claims she was physically
attacked by Gein himself.

419
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,160
So, tomorrow I wanna meet with her

420
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,200
and learn everything I can about
her experience at the old jail.

without Cindy.

information about the case

or how or why the old jail
could be haunted.

for meeting me out here.

Nice to meet you.
You too.

You've got some evidence
for me to check out? I do.

427

We were investigating the jail
at Waushara County

428
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,760
on some EVP and you could hear him
say "Ed" and then "Edward".

429
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Felt a sensation
on the back of my neck,

430
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,040

there was a burning sensation

432

I was being scratched.

00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,040
he still is somehow attached to me.

Once again, it's interesting.
There's some guys in your team

461

and it didn't go after them. No.
But it went after the female,

462

which is true to Ed Gein's nature.
Correct.

463

"we believe the spirit of Ed Gein
still haunts our community,"

This was Ed Gein's cell.

497
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,520
And the reason this differs from the
smaller more traditional cells,

498
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,520
is they knew they were gonna be

499
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,200
coming in here
questioning him a lot,

trying to get confessions

501
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,440
and possibly to keep him away from
the other inmates,

502
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,320
because I'm sure they wanted to do
him harm.

503
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:42,520

hearing...I keep hearing him say,

504
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,520
"I think Mother would be proud."
But...

505
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,680
"Mother would be proud
of the work I did."

506
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,520

he was making his mother proud

00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,640
by killing these women.

508
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,200
Could it be possible that Ed

509
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,000
was being influenced or controlled
by his mother from the grave?

510
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,280
He's very manipulative though,
the way that he treats people.

511
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,480
He's so manipulative.
The lies, there's so many lies.

512
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,680
So many lies.

513
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,000
So you think he was being pretty
deceitful with his confessions,

514
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,880
not telling everything
or misleading the facts? Absolutely.

515
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,520
My head is getting tingly.
That's really weird.

516
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,720
Let me turn on my Mel Meter.
If Ed's currently here with us,

was...crazy.

561
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,280
I mean, I definitely believe

562
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,040
there is something going on
with Ed and his mom.

563
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,360
And I really believe that he thought
that if he did all of these things,

564
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,560
that his mom would be proud of him.

565
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,440
And that's exactly why he was
doing all of these things.

566
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,520
What an incredible day.
We definitely made contact

567
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,760
with the spirit of Ed Gein,
we wholeheartedly believe that.

568
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,280
Cindy was able
to tap into his energy.

And with all the information that
we've acquired

570

and all the knowledge that we now
have,

00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,600

I wanna go back to the Ed Gein farm.

We're on the way to the Gein Farm. I
truly believe his spirit,

574
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,880
his energy is plaguing and haunting
the town of Plainfield.

575
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,640
And especially, of course,
his nature of targeting women.

576
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,520
We're also feeling the power

577
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,240
of everything that's been said
about him for so many years.

falsely gain Bernice's trust

to go into Worden's Hardware store
when he murdered her.

right now is so intense.

Oh... Oh, that's interesting.

595
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:08,280
His mother never let him have a
voice or...or a thought of his own.

596
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,920
It was always from her,
it was always what she said.

He never had a voice.

She was the true evil.
She's really evil.

599
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,840

say things like,

"I'm gonna get the demons
out of you. The demons out of you."

601
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,440
Right, like already he grew up
thinking he was evil

602
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,520
and women were evil. Everything
around him is evil except her,

603
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,480
so, you know...
But she's really evil, the mom.

I'm sad for him.

..in search of her body.

00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:55,160
He will not leave this field or
this town until she is with him,

636
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:57,600
like he wants to be near his mom.

It feels evil. It feels really evil.

638
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,240
It feels just evil. And every time
I feel into the mother,

639
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,960
it just feels so dark!

640
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:14,080
I started feeling how much of an
effect Ed's mom, Augusta,

641
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,720
had on him and it was overwhelming.

642

For a moment there,
I just really had empathy for Ed,

643
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,080
because I knew
that he had been abused.

644
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,520
I knew that his mother...
really hurt him.

645
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,360
It's as if I was looking through
Ed's eyes and through his emotions,

646
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,520
and I knew that everything that he
did...was for his mother.

680
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,080
..the 11th...

681
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,000
to the barn."

682
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,160
Oh, God!

683
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,960
I can't...
I don't even want to see this.

684
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,560
He made her wear
his mother's necklace.

685
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,480
Like he would actually
take his mother's things

686
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,320
and put them on these women.

687
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,280
Oh!

688
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,920
Oh, God!

689
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,960
I can't...
I don't even wanna see this.

690
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,040
This is too much.

00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,320
(SNIFFS)

692
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,240
Dude, this is a lot.

693
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,680
Like, this is so...
this is so intense.

694
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,680
I'm not surprised Cindy is
having such a strong reaction

695
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,000
to the atrocities
Ed committed on this property.

696
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,280
After his arrest, Gein admitted that
he didn't just sew the suit

697
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,680
to bring his mother
back from the grave,

698
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,880
he wanted to crawl inside it
and actually become his mother.

699
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,960
Ed's bizarre behaviour
raises so many questions.

700
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,680
Did he kill and dismember women

701
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,200
because his mother taught him
they were evil?

702
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,920
Was his gruesome craft project
some type of offering to her?

703
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,280
And why wear the skin suit?
To feel his mother's love

704
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,240
or somehow
revel in her power over him?

705
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,320
Honestly, it's gonna take me a while
to shake this location.

706
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,720
Yeah, it's draining.
I think at this point

707
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,280
there's no question that we both
came in contact with Ed Gein,

708
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,760
his mother Augusta, that's clear.

709
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,640
Tomorrow, I wanna go
to the Plainfield Cemetery.

710
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:25,160
That's where both of their bodies
are laid to rest

711
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:27,680
and I think that's where we
need to go. Yeah.

712
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,760
(CICADAS CHIRRUP)

713
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,320
Tonight, um...

714
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,560
..is just really tough.

715
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,520
To see what Ed did to these women
and to see...

716
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,080
..how evil this was,
it's just pure evil.

717
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,560
And, you know, I'm supposed to open
myself up

718
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:56,880
to experience the things in a case
so I can sense what happened,

719
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,960
but I just don't feel safe doing
that any more at all.

720
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,160
While using the GeoPort to
investigate,

721
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:05,960
voices were coming through the
device that would lead us to believe

722
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,640
that Augusta Gein, Ed's mother,
was responsible, in a sense,

723
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:12,640
for these murders.
That she was urging and wanting Ed

724
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:15,400
to kill these poor, innocent women.

725
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,960
At this point, I wanna put more
focus on Augusta

726
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,840
and go out to the cemetery
where she's buried,

727
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,520
where the locals claim to actually
see a female apparition,

728
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,640
possibly her apparition.

729
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:30,360
And I wanna dig into more of her
story to find out

730
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,880
could Augusta Gein
really be responsible?

731
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,880
Was she influencing Ed
to commit these atrocities?

732
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,080
Cindy, we're getting very close
to the Plainfield Cemetery.

733
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,080
I'm gonna go meet with my contact,
Dave, who's a local here.

734
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,200
He's gonna show me where Ed Gein's
unmarked grave actually is.

735
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,640
And I know you like to go into these
cases blind,

736
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,520
so I'll just have you
kind of sit here in the truck.

737
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,400
That's better for me.
This is a well-known case,

738
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,840
but I want to go in as blind
as possible,

739
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,600
and if I know what people
have been experiencing,

740
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,440
it might affect what I receive.

741
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,280
So it's better that I just get
what I get. All right, excellent.

742
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,600
The Plainfield, Wisconsin Cemetery
is an eerie place.

743
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,160
In one row, you can find Ed Gein,
his brother, Henry,

744
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:18,640
his mother, Augusta, his father,

745
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:20,720
and just a mere 50 yards away

746
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,080
is the grave of Ed Gein's victim,
Bernice Worden.

747
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,960
(CAR DOORS CLOSE)

748
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,040
Night two of our investigation,

749
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,440
and Plainfield historian,
Dave Bignell,

750
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,960
has agreed to meet me at the
cemetery on the outskirts of town.

751
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,160
So, Dave, how long have you lived
in this area?

752
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:42,840
I've lived in this area my entire
life.

753
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,320
There is a lotta...
history in this cemetery.

754
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,640
Ed is buried
amongst a lot of his victims,

755
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:52,200
a lot of the people that he dug up.

756
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,600
So, this is where
Ed was laid to rest.

757
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,880
You notice his headstone is gone.

758
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,640
That's because people would come in
and chip away at it.

759
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,440
People come in here, steal some
dirt, maybe do some occult stuff.

760
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,480
Black magic? Absolutely. Yeah,
that would be my first thought.

761
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,480
That's very unusual to see
all the hair

762
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,520
and tufts of different feathers.

763
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,240
(GUNSHOT) In addition
to killing Mary Hogan in 1954

764
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,880
and Bernice Worden in 1957,

765
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,200
Gein admitted to digging up corpses
of at least nine middle-aged women

766
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,800
from three cemeteries in the
Plainfield area, including this one.

767
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,440
After carrying a body home,
Ed would get to work,

768
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,920
harvesting the raw materials he
needed for his gruesome creations.

769
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,360
It was the skin he treasured most,

770
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,320
carefully removing it,
then tanning it like leather.

771
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,360
Gein's women suit
may have been his showpiece,

772
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,560
but he also was obsessed
with his victims' faces,

773
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:01,520
peeling them from their skulls
to create a series of human masks.

774
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,680
This is his brother, that he
is considered to have killed,

775
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,040
although he was
never charged with it.

776
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,120
And his mother...

777
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,040
..whom he wanted
to raise from the dead.

778
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:25,680
Once again, Dave is confirming
theories that we've learned so far.

779
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,160
One, that Ed
was obsessed with his mother

780
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:30,760
and wanted to bring her back
from the dead.

781
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:37,160
'Rise!' And two, he heard voices,
possibly his mother's voice,

782
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:40,040
instructing him
to kill and rob graves.

783
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,640
Dave, do the locals really believe
that this cemetery is haunted?

784
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:04,560
The people who will talk about it do
believe that this area's haunted.

785
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,000
If they walk through here
with lights,

786
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,200
they see shadows where shadows
shouldn't be, that are moving.

787
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,360
They can hear screaming
and wailing, mostly female.

788
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,200
With everything that happened over
all those years,

789
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,920
there's a pretty widespread belief
that this is a haunted area.

790
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,920
Do you think the spirit of Augusta
Gein is here in the cemetery?

791
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,280
Absolutely.
It was time to bring in Cindy.

792
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,560
But just as I was about to walk to
the car,

793
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,040
I realised we weren't alone.

794

796
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,760
coming here and doing this.

You need to leave!

798
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,760
As Dave and I were finishing up
our conversation,

799
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,080
some locals were approaching us very
upset at our presence

800
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,200
here at the Plainfield Cemetery.
This is a place of rest.

801
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,000
They have loved ones here

802
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,520
and they may even be related
to the victims of Ed Gein.

803
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,400
The wound has not been healed here.

804
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,840
I can understand
where they're coming from.

805
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,960
So, out of respect for them, we're
just gonna leave

806
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,280
and see if Cindy can do some
remote viewing of the cemetery.

807
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,800
Cindy, I know you've got the ability
to tap in with remote viewing.

808
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,400
Now can you kind of explain to me
the process?

809
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,760
I'll project myself to the location,
to the cemetery,

810
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,400
and see what I feel,
because I don't actually

811
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,960
have to physically be there
to sense what's going on there.

812
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,040
OK.
Yeah. OK.

813
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,880
When it comes to the location
of his grave,

814
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,840
something has definitely
been changed

815
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,720
that's not just
his stone being moved.

816
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,360
There's another piece
that's missing,

817
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,960
there's another piece that I feel
is hidden from the public.

818
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,200
Something's different.

819
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,320
I'm just sensing that...

820
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,480
Ed doesn't feel
he's actually with his mother.

821
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,960
Even in death...
Ed dug up bodies from graves.

822
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,440
Wow! That's interesting.

823
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,640
I see him in this attempt

824
00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:33,360
to lay down next to her and hug her.

825
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,440
It's almost like he wants to get in
the grave with her

826
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,520
and hold her.

827
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,600
Like if he had actually gotten her
out of the grave.

828
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,440
He used to brush his mother's hair.

829
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,040
There's something with that,

830
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,000
cos I see him
wanting to brush her hair.

831
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,160
Oh, man!

832
00:54:56,240 --> 00:55:00,560
And then the sense I get is...
every woman that he killed,

833
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,960
it's like an offering to his mother.

834
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,400
Like, "See what I did Mom?
See. Look.

835
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,560
This is for you.
I'm doing this for you."

836
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,760
It's all for her.
It's all for Mother.

837
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,840
After she died...

838
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:15,880
Mother, I'm here.

839
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,760
..he would have conversations with
her in his mind.

840
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,240
In his mind, he was still living
with his mother?

841
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,320
He's still living with his mother.

842
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,800
Like the movie Psycho got it right.

843
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,640
That's exactly it.

844
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,440
Do you really believe that Gein

845
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,960
thought he could raise
his mom from the dead?

846
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,640
I don't feel he thought he
could raise her from the dead

847
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:42,800
and that
she would start talking again.

848
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,080
I feel like...
he couldn't be without her.

849
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,320
The absence of her,
he couldn't handle.

850
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:55,400
I sense...on that cemetery...

851
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,640
..he was feeling
something was also watching him.

852
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,360
His eyes would go black.

853
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,560
I don't feel that he...

854
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,240
..even knew
what was happening to him.

855
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,760
In his psych evaluation,
Ed Gein said

856
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,560
he doesn't remember digging up
bodies in graveyards

857
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,400
or killing Bernice Worden
and Mary Hogan,

858
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,160
as if he were in a daze.

859
00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:28,040
So, what caused him
to commit such atrocities?

860
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,040
Did the spirit of Ed's mother

861
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,680
control him as much in death
as in life?

862
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,360
Did he hear Augusta's voice
instructing him

863
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,000
to make a woman suit out of corpses?

864
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,360
Did Ed create that suit
to become his mother?

865
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,800
Finally, did the abuse he suffered
as a child make him hate women?

866
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,840
I do have the GeoPort set up here

867
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,200
because I had so much action on it
at the farm.

868
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,520
I was wondering if you'd wanna
this time participate with me.

869
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,920
Absolutely. Needless to say,
you've tapped into the energy

870
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,240
of Ed, Augusta, numerous times
since we've been together.

871
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,040
And like you said,

872
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,640
even just speaking about them
in this community, they're here. Hm.

873
00:57:09,720 --> 00:57:12,760
So, I feel like,
with the GeoPort right now,

874
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,840
we could try
to get some more answers,

875
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,880
see what we get,
try to connect some dots.

876
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,080
Mm-hm. Yeah, let's do it.

877
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,160
All right.

878
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,560
Ed, did you take some of the body
parts and bury them on your land?

879
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,440
Mound.
The mound! Mound.

880
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,760
You had mentioned right at the
beginning of the investigation

881
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,480
on the farm that you thought there
were more bodies on the land.

882
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,160
Was there like a mound or something?

883
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,680
I keep... I keep seeing it,

884
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,280
but I keep feeling
there are bodies buried there.

885
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,520
There's bodies buried there.

886
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,280
This is so crazy it. I don't know,
now I'm getting chills.

887
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:59,160
I don't know, but something drove
him to use those bodies

888
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,360
and put them back into the earth.

889
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:05,920
Ed, are there more bodies buried on
the farm that weren't discovered?

890
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,520
Possessed? Did you hear that? I did.
It sounded like "possessed". Yeah.

891
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,480
Who was possessed?
(SOUND ECHOES)

892
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,360
Ed.

893
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,760
It says "possessed".

894
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,800
We say, who is possessed? "Ed".

895
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
(CICADAS CHIRRUP)

896
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,520
I swear it just said,
"Put on the suit."

897
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,760
Really?
That's what I heard.

898
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,480
Are you talking about what you used
to put on, Ed?

899
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,560
Wearing other people's skin?

900
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,920
Oh, my God!

901
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,240
I got chills like...

902
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:05,800
When you try to enter the mind of Ed
Gein, it's a terrifying place.

903
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,880
It's very terrifying.

904
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,000
Because this is such a pivotal
moment in the investigation,

905
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,640
I wanted to listen to see what we
had captured, one more time.

906
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,000
I've got a lot of things queued up
here on my laptop

907
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,600
that I wanna play you from the
remote viewing session.

908
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,880
The GeoPort, a lot of different
voices will come through it

909
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,640
and sometimes spirits will actually
step over each other,

910
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,120
so when you go back
and really listen,

911
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,320
you'll hear things that we couldn't
hear at the time. Right.

912
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,560
So, I wanna go ahead
and play you some of these.

913
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,640
(SOUND ECHOES)

914
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,960
Oh, my God!
I hear...

915
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,720
"Put on the suit".

916
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,800
That was so clear.
And of course,

917
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,040
we know Ed Gein had a skin suit that
he would put on.

918
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,120
It's a female voice,
as if Augusta's saying,

919
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,240
"Ed, put on the suit".
Put on the suit.

920
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:08,040
Everything that he was doing...
was to get his mother's love.

921
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,960
He's looked at as a monster.

922
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,400
Is that the lack of empathy
of a psychopath,

923
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,400
or is there
something greater at work?

924
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,280
He was influenced,
but had no idea he was influenced.

925
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,040
Hearing the words, "put on the
suit."

926
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,760
I mean, this kind of evidence
is unheard of.

927
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:37,080
Ed literally wanted the female suit
so he could become his mother.

928
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,360
I mean, it's just sick.

929
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,960
This investigation
just keeps getting creepier.

930
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,120
I was just contacted by a local
Plainfield resident

931
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,520
who claims he purchased an item
at auction

932
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,840
that he believes
belonged to Ed Gein

933
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:55,440
and will blow our minds. He's never
shown anyone this object before.

934
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,480
I'm really excited
to head to Tom's house.

935
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,360
He's a local resident here
and I got a tip that he has

936
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,920
some pretty interesting artifacts
of high interest to this case.

937
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,040
So we're gonna head there right now.
I'm really looking forward to seeing

938
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,360
if you can kind of tap into
the items he has

939
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,080
and see if you can connect any dots.
I can do what's called psychometry.

940
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:29,120
So, I can hold an object and sense
the memory attached to the object

941
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,080
or the emotions
attached to the object.

942
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,000
Well, this is my house.

943
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,000
A lot of antiques here, huh?
Yeah.

944
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:52,760
Cindy, Tom has some very interesting
artifacts that he has set out here,

945
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,200
and I would just like you to see if
you can sense anything.

946
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,640
(SIGHS)

947
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,200
Skinning.
Skinning.

948
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,480
It's something
involved in that process.

949
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,120
You couldn't have been
more accurate.

950
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,960
Here are two knives that Tom
believes belonged to Ed Gein.

951
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,760
Do you think that these items
were used by Ed Gein?

952
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,960
It feels like
there's memory attached to it.

953
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,600
And I feel like there's some...
something was feeling...

954
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,960
like there would've been evil
brought into the house

955
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:43,960
or something dark.

956
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,640
So, Tom, let me ask you how did you
acquire these items?

957
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:50,440
What's the story behind these?
There was an auction that came up,

958
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,080
my wife and I started bidding on.
We're antique collectors.

959
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,680
so they're antiques
and they've got history,

960
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,120
so it's nice to have 'em. The items
that you got from the auction,

961
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,240
you get 'em back to the house here
and what happens next?

962
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,320
Well, I put 'em in the garage

963
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,000
and we didn't have any problems for
a few weeks,

964
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:13,760
and then, suddenly, I started seeing
a shadow, a tall skinny shadow

965
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,240
going from the garage door,
past the TV and the fireplace

966
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,240
and outside of the house.

967
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:24,000
But then the birds started getting
sick and dying, two a day.

968
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,560
The rest of my animals
died after that.

969
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,600
My ma died.
Then my dad died on Father's Day,

970
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,960
and then my wife
died on the following Christmas.

971
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,280
Do you think these items
are responsible

972
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,920
for all the tragic
deaths in your family?

973
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,800
Most definitely.

974
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,000
Well, Tom, Cindy's definitely
picking up on a presence

975
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,760
and picking up on a lot of
information that you confirmed.

976
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,240
I think we need to start
investigating right away,

977
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,240
if that's OK with you.
That'd be great. OK.

978
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,640
Our goal's to figure out

979
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,320
if these objects that belonged
to Ed Gein are cursed as well.

980
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,920
I got Jaime now
with the SLS system set up.

981
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,080
I've got the Mel Meter,
I got the REM pod,

982
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,120
motion detector set up there.
Two K2 meters.

983
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,400
I think we should just start.

984
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,040
Ed Gein, are you present with us?

985
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,000
Did you use these objects?

986
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,200
(Something's moving
in the kitchen area.)

987
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,680
Dude!

988
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,440
Ed, is that you?

989
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,680
(Let's kinda peek
from the doorway here.)

990
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,440
Ed, are these your personal items?

991
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,240
(SIGHS)
What the hell?!

992
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,040
(My God!)

993
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,400
(BEEPING) It's like right in front
of the sensor.

994
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,080
Mel Meter's going off,
we're picking up motion detection,

995
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,280
and something is near the Mel Meter
on this side of the room.

996
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,480
Where is at, Jaime?
Is it on this side? Yes.

997
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:08,240
Ed...I'm gonna take your item here,

998
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,360
I'm gonna set it on this chair.

999
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,600
Now, if that's yours,

1000
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,680
let us know.

1001
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,720
If that's truly yours,
can you come stand by here?

1002
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,280
I feel a male...presence.

1003
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,080
Dude, Cindy, I'm not trying to freak
you out,

1004
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,680
the fur on your coat just went down
a little bit here.

1005
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,200
I don't think a draft did that.
It just kind of went like this.

1006
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,800
Did you feel anything? No,
I can just feel this presence near.

1007
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:39,360
I can feel it coming. There's a man
like breathing down my neck.

1008
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,440
I swear to God.

1009
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,880
I feel like there's a man breathing.

1010
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,200
Are you serious?

1011
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:51,800
Oh, my God!

1012
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,400
Right now?

1013
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,640
The activity is second to none here.

1014
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,600
I mean...every meter, the SLS,

1015
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,400
we ask it to come to the knife if
it's Gein. "If this is you,

1016
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,040
come to your weapon."
I'm just freaked out even more

1017
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,480
because we were shown this last
night. I know.

1018
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,800
Everything you were saying
last night

1019
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,280
is all coming together right here.
Yeah.

1020
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,200
He's with us everywhere we go.
He's everywhere.

1021
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,360
Last night, we heard a voice
say, "Put on the suit."

1022
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,160
Today, Cindy confirms
that this was the knife

1023
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,600
that Ed Gein used to make that suit.

1024
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,720
It's almost as if Gein
is following us all over town.

1025
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,440
And he definitely
wants his knife back.

1026
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:41,280
Tom, you have
one of the most active homes

1027
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,640
I have ever investigated
in my life, first and foremost,

1028
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,680
but I don't need to tell you that.

1029
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,120
I usually keep these out in
the shed because, you know,

1030
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,520
after the animals started dying
and people getting sick,

1031
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,720
you know, seeing the shadow running
back and forth,

1032
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,680
I decided, "Out in the shed.
You can go outside."

1033
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,840
Would you consider letting us borrow
this item

1034
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,560
to take it to the farm
for our final investigation? Yeah.

1035
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,000
I think I'll be OK with that.
OK. We'll definitely return it,

1036
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,480
cos I have no plans on adding this
to my collection.

1037
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,040
And I'm not taking it
with me anywhere.

(CICADAS CHIRRUP)

1039
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,560
At this point, I'd like to go back

1040
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,040
to the
Waushara County Historical Society

1041
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,160
and really kind of dig into the
archives,

1042
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,600
speak to somebody about the history
of the property.

1043
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:34,600
What happened on this land?

1044
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,760
So, Lori, of course you know we're
here conducting an investigation

1045
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,360
about the Ed Gein farm.

1046
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,040
And Cindy immediately upon
stepping up on that land

1047
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,120
starting having a lot of visuals.

1048
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:54,400
She was really picking up on

1049
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,480
spiritual energy
coming from the land itself.

1050
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,160
And she thinks it goes back before
the Geins moved there.

1051
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,560
I felt immediately
a Native American history

1052
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:08,720
attached to the land. So I knew that
there was something connected.

1053
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,880
And then I kept seeing...

1054
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,000
I call them night walkers.

1055
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,160
There's something about
these spirits

1056
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,400
connected
to the Native American culture

1057
01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:20,240
that walk ton he land at night.

1058
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,960
What type of history can you tell us
about Ed Gein's property

1059
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,280
far before the Geins
actually purchased the acreage?

1060
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,960
The Black Hawk War of 1832

1061
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:35,440
was in this area between several
different tribes

1062
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,840
and the US military.

1063
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:42,040
It was a very tragic war
and it's estimated

1064
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:46,320
that between 400 and 600
Native Americans were killed.

1065
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,000
And when Native Americans
were buried,

1066
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:52,000
they were always buried in...
mounds..

1067
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,160
..throughout the whole state.

1068
01:08:55,880 --> 01:09:01,480
The battle happened right around
where Ed Gein's farm stands today.

1069
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,680
And now the Ho-Chunk tribe

1070
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:09,680
is the largest...
in the Wisconsin area.

1071
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,800
Lori, with all this information
and learning about this battle,

1072
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,960
do you think they could have left
some type of residue on the land?

1073
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,360
Or something causing the paranormal
activity taking place today?

1074
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:21,440
Yes, definitely.

1075
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:27,280
All Waushara County has a lot
of residue from the battles.

1076
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,280
Do you think Plainfield, Wisconsin,
is haunted?

1077
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,360
Yes...totally.

1078
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,600
I suggest you talk
to one of the Ho-Chunk elders,

1079
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,520
they'll know a lot more of the land.

(CICADAS CHIRRUP)

1081
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:46,760
So receiving that information was
critical and absolutely amazing.

1082
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,960
I would like to get the perspective
from a local tribe,

1083
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,600
maybe seek out an elder, get some
information about their history,

1084
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,120
and find out
what could these spirits be.

1085
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,560
Why is there so much unrest?

1086
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,560
Cindy, right now we're about to meet
with Brother Thundercloud,

1087
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,480
who is an elder
in the Ho-Chunk tribe in this area.

1088
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,480
And he's going to tell us more
about the land, their cultures,

1089
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,800
and their beliefs to see if that can
shed some light on this case

1090
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,200
and even some of the visions
you were having in this area.

When God created Earth,
God created the human beings.

1093
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,760
There were also spirits
that were created.

1094
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,920
And these spirits
are in everything that we see.

you know, they're all spiritual.

1098
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:49,600
When we were walking on the land
at Ed Gein's farm,

1099
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:54,280
I walked on it and I knew
I was standing on...sacred land.

1100
01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:00,160
I became aware of these spirits
that looked like shadows.

1101
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,400
And I kept hearing "night walkers".

1102
01:11:03,480 --> 01:11:06,600
Do you have anything similar to that
in Ho-Chunk culture?

1103
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:10,200
There are...
what we'd call night spirits.

1104
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,800

not all bad.

about in order to protect us.

Bad spirit.

1109
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:35,160
I mean, Ed Gein, and his mother,

1110
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,640
they brought a lot of darkness
to that land,

1111
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,800
so maybe we were dealing with the
protective good night walkers

1112
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,120
that were just trying to protect.

1113
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:45,720
We do believe in
good and evil spirits.

1114
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,640
They do exist.

1115
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,880
And do you believe those spirits
are still on Earth here today?

1116
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:52,800
Oh, yes, they're here.

1117
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:57,480
Brother Thundercloud told us

1118
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:01,080
that night walkers could be good
and like soldiers on a the land,

1119
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,440
or they could be evil. So what are
we dealing with on the Gein farm?

1120
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,960
Is it good...or evil?

can help us decipher

1122
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,320
what's going on at the Gein farm.
So we definitely need to go back

1123
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,000
and figure out what the heck
is going on?

Walking into
the final investigation,

is part of this haunting.

Was Augusta influencing Ed to murder
Bernice and Mary and rob the graves?

or have they peacefully
crossed on to the other side?

Ed Gein used on his victims,

and also we have a Bible

01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:48,120
I just felt like somebody running...

1179
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,960
up towards my, like, spine.

1180
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:55,000
And like slicing down...
like down my spine.

That's what he did to Bernice Worden
and likely to Mary Hogan as well.

1183
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,000
After Gein's arrest,
he told a psychiatrist

1184
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:11,440
about a childhood incident in which
he watched his mother butcher a pig

1185
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,520
and remembered feeling aroused.

It's trying to touch...

How is this happening? This knife?

go for my neck, choking me!

Ed fatally shot Mary Hogan
at her tavern,

1240

then beheaded and butchered her
just yards from where we are now.

still be trapped here today?

and received compelling evidence.

Dude!

1291
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:55,120
Was this the work of a man
who wanted to become his mother,

1292
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,320
wanting the power, hating women,

1293
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,560
wanting to BE a woman?

1294
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:04,800
Did Ed create a suit from women's
skin to become his mother?

1295
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:09,240
Did Ed's mother dominate him
as much in death as in life?

1296
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,680
Are Ed's victims
trapped on the Gein farm

1297
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:20,960
where he committed
horrific atrocities?

1298
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,680
Gein was a sick and disturbed man.

1299
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,160
But what drove him
to commit such heinous acts?

1300
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,120
Was it strictly mental illness?

1301
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:32,960
I think all of these things together
make the haunting.

1302
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,320
And especially if a lot of tragedy
has occurred on the land,

1303
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,920
that can create a haunting
all by itself.

1304
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,840
It created, essentially, an evil,
an evil that existed there.

1305
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:48,280
And that evil started not with Ed,
but with his monster of a mother.

1306

The Geins purchase the property,

1307

Augusta actually becomes more angry,
more hateful.

severely abused and mentally ill.

for the longest time,

competent to stand trial,

he was convicted of first-degree
murder for one of his two victims.

literally committing homicide,

Mutilating corpses, taking their
skin and body parts,

1329

and putting it on his own body.
Wearing a dead skin mask.

01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,560
what's gonna happen after we leave.

1344
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:32,200
Because...
it seems to be a recurring theme

1345
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:37,240
that once you encounter this energy,
it doesn't really leave you. Right.

1346
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,480
Evil exists. Evil is very real.

1347
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:45,040
Plainfield is definitely haunted.

1348
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:50,400
I believe Ed, Augusta,
and possibly Ed's victim, Mary,

1349
01:26:50,480 --> 01:26:52,800
are still present in this community.

1350
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,200
Plainfield, Wisconsin,
will always be known

1351
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,440
for the heinous crimes of Ed Gein.

1352
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:08,600
Before we leave town, Cindy and I
wanna make one last stop

1353
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:13,360
to the Plainfield Cemetery and
pay our respects to Ed's victims.

1354
01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:17,240
Bernice Worden is buried here,
while Ed's other victim, Mary Hogan,

1355
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,160
is buried
at an undisclosed location.

1356
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:25,400
Bernice, we're terribly sorry
about what took place 63 years ago.

1357
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:29,600
We honour your memory...and we hope
to keep your memory alive.

1358
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,440
Although the town itself
has tried to move on,

1359
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:41,240
it's clear that the spirit of both
Augusta and Ed Gein still lurk here

1360
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,000
haunting and preying on
the community.

1361
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,720
Will their spirits ever be at rest,

1362
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,040
or will they wander through
Plainfield

1363
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,720
searching for each other
until they are reunited?

1364
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:57,200
Will Plainfield, Wisconsin,
ever be at peace?

1365
01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,280
