About this listen

This narrative presents "The Gruesome Crimes of Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield" in the voice of fictional podcaster Lucien Graves for his show "Shadows of History." The piece explores Ed Gein's disturbing life and crimes, from his isolated upbringing under his domineering mother to his grave robbing and eventual murders. It examines the psychological factors behind his actions, details the discovery of his horrific trophies made from human remains, and discusses how his case influenced iconic horror films like "Psycho" and "The Silence of the Lambs." Throughout, Lucien maintains a scholarly, contemplative tone, finding meaning in the macabre while treating the subject with gravity rather than sensationalism.
