The Quiet Neighbor Who Made Lampshades From Skin | Ed Gein
On a November morning in 1957, a hardware-store owner in a Wisconsin town of eight hundred people failed to come home. The last receipt in the register was made out to a neighbor everyone thought they knew.
Host Alexander Lawson tells the story of Edward Theodore Gein—two confirmed murders, graves opened in the night, and a farmhouse that changed American horror. This episode stays with the record: the town, the mother, the sheriff’s reports, and the names that belong to the dead.
Content warning: murder, grave robbery, and human remains.
