Ed Gein's Childhood

You know of Ed Gein, even if you were never sure how to pronounce his name. He was a serial killer who inspired numerous cinematic killers such as Buffalo Bill, Norman Bates, Leatherface, and a bunch of other movie characters, including himself. In 1957, he confessed to two murders. Gein was convicted of one murder and is suspected to be behind other cases of people missing around Plainfield, Wisconsin.

You can read about Gein's crimes in many places, but you also have to wonder, what could have led to Gein's twisted behavior? Weird History focuses on his early life with his parents, and uncovers a story that can best be described as "how not to raise children."
