In 1957, the quiet farming town of Plainfield, Wisconsin, became the epicenter of one of the most grotesque crimes in American history. Behind the peeling paint of Ed Gein’s farmhouse, authorities uncovered a macabre museum of human remains that shocked the world and forever scarred a community. Join us as we peel back the layers of Gein’s life — his strict and suffocating upbringing, his years of isolation, his grave-robbing obsessions, and the murders that revealed the unimaginable. This is the chilling true story of the man history would call the Butcher of Plainfield.
