Dec 26, 2008 - I don't blame Dahmer and Gein for becoming such nasty serial killers. Wisconsin is the most boring state in the US, what else could they of done? Ate the bland, tasteless cheese? watch the college sports? oh how fun, I'd of become a serial killer too.

Dec 27, 2008 - he wasn't a necrophile, because his mother had taught him to stay away from anything that had to do with women, including sex im sure.

Ingridb6 Says:
Dec 27, 2008 - i feel sorry for eds upbringing before he commited the murder and i just wanna say that the texas chainsaw massacre is NOTHING like what really happened. ed only shot one person and didn't go around with a chainsaw killing about 10.
Ingridb6 Says:
Dec 28, 2008 - ed gein was mentally incapable of realzing what he was doing, the ones who think he's "sick" or an "idiot" have no feelings for the mentally ill. i really feel for the guy..

Dec 28, 2008 - Babysitting? o.o Strange.I read about him in Snopes, and again when I read about "Silence of the Lambs". But this is much more detail than was written there. I know this sounds strange, but thank-you. xD

Dec 30, 2008 - beening reading the texts on this vids.GCjuice. your fucking sick and nuts. Ed was a sinner, he used his "handiwork" for sexual purposes, so they say.. He wasn't doing God's work at all.two, from a student of crime/psych (in college) he is a facinating case and it makes you wonder. "how can a man live like that?!"whoever made the video, good job on the reserch and getting it together, i like the fact it's uner ten min. I like the narrator voice it's very "A and E" (the channel)

Dec 31, 2008 - does anyone know where that footage is from when he talks about her mother saying he should stay away from woman?

Jan 1, 2009 - When I watch stuff like this I always ask...."I wonder what was happening or through their minds when they committed these acts?"
D4athPanda Says:
Jan 2, 2009 - Same here, frightening that we are all capable of it.
islandsnorkler Says:
Jan 2, 2009 - actually he was found guilty of shooting 2 people to death before doing stuff to their body and he was accused of killing about 10 other people near the area yet they just charged him with 2 with a deal to be in a hospital instead of a hardcore prison. get your facts strait
Ingridb6 Says:
Jan 2, 2009 - a FACT and an ACCUSATION are two different things, there was no proof he killed about 10 so therefore it was only the 2 which he shot.
Progxxx Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - wrong information!his father died when he was 34 ore some age like this....
