Boyarova O.

The topic of US maniacs was well covered in one of the essays (). Unfortunately, Ed Gein was forgotten. It is unlikely that many people are familiar with his name, but such films as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Silence of the Lambs”, “Psycho” are well known to horror fans. Where is the connection? The thing is that the prototype of the farm maniac and Buffalo Bill was Edward Gein.

The prerequisites for the corrupted psyche of the future maniac can be found in Edward's childhood.

The boy was born on August 27, 1907 near the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin. He spent his entire childhood there. Edward was the youngest child in the family of George and Augusta Hein. His brother Henry George Hein was four years older.

Gein's parents deserve special attention. His father George Gein was an alcoholic. He was unable to find a permanent job, and his family survived on infrequent earnings. Significantly, there is no evidence that George beat his children. Most likely, he himself was a victim of his insane wife.

Now as for Augusta Hein. She grew up in a very devout family. Augusta carried the idea that the world was mired in sin, that there was only dirt, lust and sex everywhere, and that all women (except her, of course) were whores.

The question involuntarily begs the question: if she was so pious and correct, then how did she end up with two sons? Well, this is just food for thought.

The truth was that Augusta was a tyrant in her family. After the Geins moved to a farm in Plainfield, Augusta forbade her sons to communicate with other children and constantly forced them to do hard work on the farm. She constantly read the Bible to Ed and Henry and always said that the city in which they live is a “hell hole.”

Despite all this, Edward idolized his mother and considered her a saint. His older brother had a completely different opinion.

The relationship between Ed and Henry became very strained after the death of their father in 1940.

Andrew sought to start an independent life, unfortunately, without success. Trying to denigrate his mother in the eyes of his younger brother, he only made the situation worse.

On May 16, 1944, there was a fire on the farm in which Henry died. The brothers were burning trash that day, and according to Ed, the fire got out of control. Many believe that Ed killed his older brother. Their opinion is not unfounded. Firstly, Edward was the only witness, and the incident is known only from his words. Secondly, the question remains unclear: why did the men not try to put out the fire?

Be that as it may, Edward's guilt was not proven.

Now Ed Gein was left alone with his mother. They still lived a quiet, aloof life on their farm. But in 1945, Augusta suffers a heart attack and becomes bedridden. Edward's concern only delays the inevitable end. The woman dies on December 29, 1945 and Ed is left alone.

The neighbors never complained about Gein. They considered him a good-natured eccentric and even left him to babysit the children. No one knew that the “quiet farmer” was fond of books on anatomy and read stories about the atrocities of the Nazis during the Second World War. He is fascinated by information about the exhumation, and obituaries in newspapers give him particular pleasure.

Soon “old Eddie” moves from theory to practice. He is attracted to the female body, but he is too cowardly to apply fresh knowledge on living people.

Ed went to the local cemetery, where he tore up the fresh graves of women. After which he gutted their bodies and took a couple of “souvenirs” for himself. His house became like a burial ground. He hung the heads of corpses on the walls, made a belt from the female genital organs, and processed the skulls into bowls, from which he then ate and drank. But the most sophisticated costume was made from women's skin.

Later, when Gein was arrested, he said that he did not perform any sexual manipulations with the corpses because “they smelled too bad.” Luckily he didn't have air freshener.

In principle, a serial killer is considered to be a person who has killed three or more victims. This is due to the fact that when the third victim is killed, the serial killer develops his own method of action. However, all researchers consider Ed Gein to be an accomplished serial killer, despite the fact that he only has two proven victims.

Although many attribute several more corpses to Hein.

In 1947, an eight-year-old girl was found murdered; the only evidence found by the police were tire tracks from a car belonging to Gein. True, Gein did not admit to committing this crime.

In 1952, two tourists who stopped for a small picnic near Gein’s house disappeared. Their corpses have not yet been found. Ed's involvement has not been proven.

In 1953, a fifteen-year-old girl was found murdered. Gein's involvement has also not been proven, but some elements of coincidence with the first murder are visible quite clearly.

Blaming Ed Gein for these crimes is not entirely reasonable. If you study Edward's personality well enough, it becomes clear that this is not his handwriting (subsequent murders will confirm this). Gein was not interested in teenage girls. Moreover, the well-known fact that Gein was left to babysit the children further proves his innocence in these crimes. The dubious evidence of tire tracks and the lack of any other evidence (the girls' bodies were not found in Gein's house) make these accusations look like a cheap horror story compiled to draw attention to Gein's identity.

But in 1954, Gein actually commits a crime. He kills local tavern owner Mary Hogan. Mary disappeared from the motel, leaving behind only pools of blood. Gein managed to quietly transport the woman, who weighed about eighty kilograms, to his home across the city. He dismembered her and kept her in his home. Mary was reported missing.

Presumably Gein did this because the woman, who somehow reminded him of his mother, yelled at the man, thereby causing his anger.

On November 16, 1957, another woman, 58-year-old Bernice Worden, disappeared. In the afternoon, her son returned from hunting and stopped at the hardware store that his mother ran. It seemed strange to him that his mother was not there. He decided to contact the police after he found a bloody trail on the floor, stretching from the display case to the back door. Quickly looking around the room, Frank found a crumpled receipt for a half gallon of antifreeze lying in the backyard. The receipt was in the name of Edward Gein.

The woman's body was later found on Gein's farm. It was so disfigured that the sheriff initially mistook it for a deer carcass. It was only later determined that the headless body belonged to missing Bernice Worden.

But more terrible things were found in Ed's house. In addition to the already known “souvenirs,” human entrails were found in Gein’s refrigerator, and a heart lay in one pan.

His trial was not long. Gein confessed to killing two women. He was declared insane, and, in accordance with the court's verdict, Edward Gein was sent for compulsory treatment to the maximum security hospital for the criminally insane in Waupana, but was later transferred to the Mentoda Institute of Mental Health in Madison.

Gein died on July 26, 1984, in a mental hospital from cardiac arrest caused by cancer, after which he was buried in the Planfield City Cemetery. For a long time, the tombstone of his grave was destroyed by souvenir hunters, and in 2000, most of the tombstone was completely stolen.

Heine Heinrich (1797-1856)

German poet and prose writer, critic and publicist, who is put on a par with I.V. Goethe, F. Schiller and G.E. Dessing. Born in Düsseldorf into a Jewish family. The mixed education he received undoubtedly contributed to his generally cosmopolitan worldview. After a private Jewish school, he studied at the Lyceum, where lessons were taught in French and even by Catholic priests.

Heine's attempts to engage in commerce, first in Frankfurt am Main, then in Hamburg, were unsuccessful.

He studied in Bonn, Göttingen and Berlin, where he was strongly influenced by Hegel. As a result, returning to Göttingen, in 1825 he received the title of Doctor of Law. After Prussia took away civil rights from Jews in 1823, Heine became a sworn enemy of the Prussian regime, although, following the example of many contemporaries, he accepted Lutheranism.

The official change of religion did not give him any advantages, because his writings irritated the authorities much more than his religion.

In Heine's sphere of interests, literature always occupied the main place. In Bonn he met A.V. Schlegel and attended his lectures; In Berlin, an already accomplished writer, he was a member of the literary circle of Rachel von Enze. Heine published his first poems in 1817; the first collection “Poems” was published in 1821, and the first poetic cycle “Lyrical Intermezzo” - in 1823. He also tried his hand at political journalism.

After university, Heine intended to practice law in Hamburg, but preferred literary activity.

The first of the four volumes of his Travel Pictures brought him wide fame, and henceforth he earned his living from literary work. During these years, Heine traveled a lot, spending three or four months in England, then in Italy, where he stayed a little longer; These trips served as material for the following volumes of Travel Pictures. At the same time, he revised his poems and as a result compiled the “Book of Songs”; many poems were set to music by F. Schubert and R. Schumann.

In 1829, Johann Cotta invited Heine to become a co-editor of his Munich newspaper “New General Political Annals”. Heine accepted the offer, but already in 1831, counting on a professorship (he never received it), he left the post of editor.

The July Revolution of 1830 gave him the answer to the question of what to do next: in May 1831 he left Germany and settled permanently in Paris. In 1834, Heine met a young saleswoman at Cresence, Eugenie Mira, whom he later immortalized in poetry under the name of Matilda. In 1841 they got married.

In 1835, in Prussia, the Reichstag banned the works of a number of politically progressive authors of Young Germany, including Heine. Unable to gain the favor of official Prussia, the poet did not get along with the German revolutionary reformers, whom L. Berne united around himself in Paris.

In the same 1840, Heine resumed various publications about the life of Paris in the General Newspaper, which in 1854 were published as a separate book called Lutetia. These were his last experiences in the field of journalism; he began to write poetry, which again took a dominant position in his work, as evidenced by the books “Atta Troll”, “New Poems”, etc. that were published one after another.

By that time, the poet's health was severely undermined: family quarrels that followed the death of his uncle in 1844 aggravated the illness, which in 1848 confined Heine to bed. This misfortune, however, did not put an end to his literary activity. Although his illness made his life a misery, Heine's creative energy increased immeasurably, as evidenced by Romansero and Poems of 1853 and 1854, followed by another collection published posthumously.

Biography [ | ]

Childhood [ | ]

Edward Gean was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin on August 27, 1906. Parents: George Philip Guine (August 4, 1873 – April 1, 1940) and Augusta Wilhelmina Lehrke (July 21, 1878 – December 29, 1945). Mother was the daughter of Prussian emigrants. Edward had an older brother, Henry George Gean (17 January 1901 – 16 May 1944). Augusta and George met when they were 19 and 24 respectively, and married on December 4, 1899. The parents' marriage did not work out from the very beginning. The father was an alcoholic who was systematically left without work (he worked either as an insurance agent, or as a carpenter, or as a tanner), because of which the entire household, in fact, was supported by Augusta alone, who had a small grocery store. Despite the fact that the mother despised the father, they did not divorce because of religious beliefs. Augusta grew up in a devout Lutheran family whose members were ardent opponents of everything related to sex, which is why she saw only dirt, sin and lust in everything. Their mother forbade Edward and Henry to communicate with other children, constantly forced them to do hard work on the farm and only let them go to school. She constantly read the Bible to her sons, and called the city of La Crosse a “hell hole” and convinced the children that the whole world was mired in sin and debauchery, and that all women except her were whores. In 1913, Augusta decided that life near La Crosse was too harmful for her children, and the Geens, having saved money, bought a small dairy farm about forty miles east of La Crosse, but in 1914, for unknown reasons, they sold it and bought another, in the vicinity.

At school, Ed was very shy and had no friends, as his mother severely punished him for any attempts to make friends with anyone. According to the book about Gin "Deviant", he had a small skin growth on his left eyelid, which was the object of ridicule from his classmates, and also became the reason why Edward, having received a summons to the army in 1942, did not pass the medical examination. Later, some of his former classmates recalled that Ed observed a number of oddities. In particular, the boy could laugh at any moment for no reason, as if he had heard some kind of joke. Despite his difficult social development, Edward studied quite well and did especially well in reading lessons. When Gin was 10 years old, he had an orgasm while watching his mother and father slaughter a pig. One day Augusta saw him masturbating and scalded him with boiling water as punishment. Despite this, Ed considered his mother a saint, although Augusta was rarely pleased with her sons, believing that they would grow up to be failures like their father. As teenagers, Edward and Henry rarely left the farm, and their social circle was limited to their own family.

1940-1946 [ | ]

Shortly after Henry's death, Augusta suffered a stroke and became bedridden. Ed looked after her around the clock, but she was still unhappy. She constantly yelled at her son, calling him a weakling and a loser. From time to time she allowed him to lie in bed with her during the night. In 1945, Augusta recovered from a stroke. He and Edward went to their neighbor named Smith to buy straw from him. Augusta experienced a strong shock when she saw that he was cohabiting with a woman, after which she was struck by a new stroke, which completely undermined her health, and she died on December 29, 1945 at 67 years old. Ed, now all alone on the farm, began reading books on anatomy, stories of Nazi atrocities during World War II, various information about exhumations, and he enjoyed reading the local newspaper, especially the obituary section. The neighbors did not consider Gin crazy, just a “little strange” harmless eccentric and left him to sit with the children, to whom Gin sometimes recounted what he had read on topics with which he was obsessed. Soon Gin began visiting cemeteries, digging up and dismembering corpses. He often relied on information gleaned from obituaries in the local press. He especially liked [ ] to tear up the fresh graves of women, although later during the investigation he swore that he did not perform any sexual manipulations with the corpses, since, in his words, “they smelled too bad.” Gin took some parts of the corpses home, and soon he had a kind of collection of skulls and severed heads, which he hung on the walls. Gin also made himself a suit from women's leather, which he wore at home.

Local children who looked into the windows of Gin's house talked about seeing human heads hanging on the walls. Edward just laughed and said that his brother served during the war somewhere in the South Seas and sent him these heads as a gift. Nevertheless, rumors spread around the town about strange objects in Gin’s house, and he himself smiled kindly and nodded when asked about the severed heads that he allegedly kept at home.

1947-1956 [ | ]

The police decided to search Gean's house and immediately found the gutted and mutilated corpse of Bernice Worden in Gean's barn. The corpse was mutilated and hung like a deer carcass. There was a terrible stench in Ed Gean's house. Masks made of human skin and severed heads were hung on the walls; an entire wardrobe was also found, handmade from tanned human skin: two pairs of pants, a vest, a suit, as well as a chair made from human skin, a belt made from female nipples, and a soup bowl. made from a skull. The refrigerator was filled to the brim with human organs, and a heart was found in one of the pans. Gin later admitted that he dug up from the graves the bodies of middle-aged women who reminded him of his mother.

During the hours-long interrogation, Gin confessed to the murder of two women - Bernice Worden and Mary Hogan, although he finally confessed to the murder of the latter only a few months later, after a polygraph interrogation.

While Gin's trial was going on, local boys began throwing stones at the windows of the “house of horrors,” and the townspeople considered the farm a symbol of evil and depravity, so they avoided it. The authorities decided to sell the estate at auction. People protested but could not do anything about it. On the night of March 20, 1958, Gin's house mysteriously burned to the ground. There is a version that it was arson, but the perpetrators were never found. When Gin, imprisoned at the Central State Hospital, learned about the incident, he said: “That’s how it should be.” The Ginov plot was purchased by real estate dealer Edmin Shi. Within a month, it had destroyed the ashes and the nearby undergrowth of 60,000 trees.

Ed Gean's car, which he drove to visit Bernice Worden on the day of the murder, has been put up for auction. 14 people competed for this lot, and the Ford was sold for a lot of money at that time - $760. The buyer was Bunny Gibbons, the organizer of the Seymour fair, where the Ford appeared as an attraction called "Ed Geen's Ghoul Car." More than 2,000 people paid 25 cents to see the car during the first two days of the show. Cashing in on Geene's notoriety was met with outrage by the townspeople of Plainfield. At the Washington State Fair in Slinger, Wisconsin, the car was on display for four hours before the sheriff arrived and closed the attraction. After this, Wisconsin authorities banned the car from being shown. The offended businessmen went to southern Illinois, hoping for understanding [ ] . The further fate of the car is unknown.

In accordance with the court's verdict, Gin was declared insane and committed to the maximum security hospital for sick offenders (now Dodge Correctional Facility) in Waupun, but was later transferred to the Mentoda Mental Health Institute in Madison. In 1968, doctors decided that Gin was normal enough to stand trial again. The new trial began on November 7, 1968 and lasted a week. Judge Robert Gollmarp found Geen guilty of first-degree murder, but since Geen was legally insane, he spent the rest of his life in a mental hospital, where he died on July 26, 1984 from cardiac arrest caused by cancer, after which he was buried in the Plainfield city cemetery near parents and brother. For a long time, his gravestone was destroyed by souvenir hunters, and in 2000, most of the tombstone was stolen. In June 2001, the gravestone was recovered near Seattle and placed in the custody of the Waushara County Sheriff's Department. Gin's burial itself remained in the same place, but without any identifying marks.

Suspicions of other murders[ | ]

To this day, Gin is a suspect in three cases of unsolved disappearances. In all three cases, no direct evidence of the death of the missing was found.

Biography

Childhood

Gein was born in La Crosse County, Wisconsin on August 27, 1906. Gein's father was an alcoholic who was systematically unemployed. Even though Gein's mother despised his father, they did not formally end their marriage due to religious beliefs. Gein's mother, Augusta, ran a small grocery store and later convinced her husband to move to a farm in Plainfield.

Augusta grew up in a devout family who were ardent opponents of anything related to sex. Augusta saw only dirt, sin and lust in everything. Augusta forbade Ed to communicate with other children and constantly forced him to do hard work on the farm. Fanatically religious Augusta constantly read the Bible to Ed and his brother, called Augusta the city a “hell hole” and convinced the children that the whole world was mired in sin and debauchery, all women except her were whores.

When Gein was 10 years old, he had an orgasm while watching his mother and father slaughter a pig. One day, Augusta saw him masturbating and scalded him with boiling water as punishment. Despite this, Ed considered his mother a saint. At school, Gein was bullied by his classmates.

1940-1946

Gein's father, George, dies in 1940 of pneumonia. Augusta's influence on Ed becomes very strong. Ed's brother, Henry Gein, concerned about the undue influence of his bigoted mother on Ed, speaks critically of her several times. He soon dies while putting out a fire in 1944, which he put out together with Ed (there is an assumption that Ed killed his brother, this is indicated by some oddities noted by the police who examined Henry's corpse).

A year later, August suffered a stroke and found herself bedridden. Ed looked after her around the clock, but she was still unhappy. She constantly yelled at her son, calling him a weakling and a loser. From time to time she allowed him to lie in bed with her during the night.

Augusta dies on December 29, 1945. Ed, now completely alone, begins to voraciously read books on anatomy, stories of Nazi atrocities during World War II, various information about exhumations, and he also enjoyed reading the local newspaper, especially the obituary section. The neighbors didn't think Gein was crazy, just a "a little strange" harmless eccentric, and left him to sit with the children, to whom Gein would sometimes retell what he had read on topics that he was obsessed with. Soon Gein moves from theory to practice - he begins to visit cemeteries at night, dig up corpses and butcher them. Often guided by information gleaned from obituaries in the local press, he especially enjoyed tearing up the fresh graves of women, although later during the investigation he swore that he did not perform any sexual manipulations with the corpses, “they smelled too bad,” Gein said. Gein took some parts of the corpses home, and soon he had a peculiar collection of skulls and severed heads, which he hung on the walls. Gein also made himself a suit from women's leather, which he wore around the house.

Even stories about strange things happening on his farm did not bother anyone. Local children who looked into the windows of Gein's house talked about seeing human heads hanging on the walls. Edward just laughed and said that his brother served during the war somewhere in the South Seas and sent him these heads as a gift. Nevertheless, rumors spread around the town about strange objects in Gein’s house, and he himself smiled kindly and nodded his head when asked about the severed heads that he allegedly kept at home. Nobody thought that this could be real.

1947-1956

In 1947, an eight-year-old girl was found murdered in the area. Presumably this murder was committed by Gein. The only evidence the police found were tire tracks from a car that later turned out to belong to Gein. Gein's involvement has not been proven.

In 1952, two tourists who stopped for a small picnic near Gein’s house disappeared. Their corpses have not yet been found. Gein's involvement in the crime has not been proven, although he was suspected of their murder.

In 1953, a fifteen-year-old girl was found murdered. Gein's involvement has also not been proven, but some elements of coincidence with the first murder are visible quite clearly.

In 1954, Gein kills Mary Hogan, the owner of a local tavern. Gein managed to quietly transport the fat woman to his home across the city, where the woman was dismembered. He dismembered her and kept her in his home. Mary was reported missing. Gein joked that she was staying at his house. Mary disappeared from the motel, leaving behind only puddles of blood, so Ed's jokes about the missing woman seemed tasteless to everyone. Nobody took him seriously.

Arrest. Court. Death.

On November 16, 1957, the owner of a hardware store, 58-year-old widow Bernice Warden, disappeared without a trace. In the afternoon, her son Frank Worden returned from hunting and stopped at the store. He saw that his mother was not at home. The front and back doors were left unlocked. Frank discovered something that scared him terribly - a trail of blood stretching from the display window to the back door. Quickly examining the room, Frank found a crumpled receipt lying in the backyard. The receipt was in the name of Edward Gein.

The police decide to search Gein's house, and immediately make the first terrible discovery - the gutted and mutilated corpse of Bernice Worden in Gein's barn. The corpse was so disfigured that the sheriff initially mistook it for a deer carcass. Much more terrible discoveries awaited the police in the house of Ed Gein, where there was a terrible stench. Masks made of human skin and severed heads were hung on the walls; an entire wardrobe was also found, handmade from tanned human skin: two pairs of pants, a vest, a suit made from human skin, a chair upholstered in leather, a belt made from female nipples, a plate for soup, made from a skull. But that was not all. The refrigerator was filled to the top with human organs, and a heart was found in one of the pans. Later, Gein admitted that he dug up from the graves the bodies of middle-aged women who reminded him of his mother.

During hours of interrogation, Gein confessed to the murder of two women - Bernice Worden and Mary Hogan. (However, Hogan Gein confessed to the murder only a few months later). His trial began.

While Gein's trial was going on, local boys began throwing stones at the windows of the House of Horrors. The townspeople considered the farm a symbol of evil and depravity and avoided it at all costs. The authorities decided to sell the estate at auction. People protested but could not do anything about it. On the night of March 20, 1958, Gein's house mysteriously burned to the ground. There is a version that it was arson, but the perpetrators were never found. When Hein, imprisoned at the Central State Hospital, learned about the incident, he uttered only three words: “That’s the way it should be.”

The Gein property was purchased by real estate dealer Edmin Shi. Within a month, it had destroyed the ashes and the nearby undergrowth of 60,000 trees.

Ed Gein's car, which he drove on the day Bernice Warden was killed, has been auctioned off. 14 people fought for this lot, and, in the end, Ford went for a lot of money at that time - $760. The buyer chose to remain unknown. The buyer may have been the organizer of a fair in Seymour, where a Ford car appeared as an attraction called "Ed Gein's Ghoul Car."

More than 2,000 people paid 25 cents to see the car during the first two days of the show.

Cashing in on Gein's notoriety was met with outrage by the townspeople of Painefield. At the Washington State Fair in Slinger, Wisconsin, the car was on display for four hours before the sheriff arrived and closed the ride. After this, Wisconsin authorities banned the car from being shown. The offended businessmen went to southern Illinois, hoping for understanding. The further fate of the car is unknown.

In accordance with the court's verdict, Gein was declared insane and sent for compulsory treatment to a psychiatric hospital, where he died in 1984 from cancer, after which he was buried in the Planfield city cemetery.
