About this listen

He seemed quiet… almost invisible. But behind closed doors, Ed Gein’s farmhouse hid horrors beyond imagination.

From Gein’s twisted devotion to his mother to the gruesome discoveries that shocked a nation, this story explores how isolation, obsession, and madness turned a small-town man into a living nightmare.
