    THIS EPISODE:
    UPDATE - At the end of this video I did mention that NEXT TIME I will share with you my personal story of my direct experience and exposure some 15 or 17 years ago with one of the real Exorcists, from that which inspired the infamous book...and then the movie.
    Here it is, click this link: ‱ "DOMINUS" - The True S...
    It was with one of the Jesuit brothers who was directly involved performing the actual exorcism that inspired William Peter Blatty’s book, and the movie, not to mention my horrors of exposure to actual artifacts from the boy’s actual room that was in the infamous wing of that St. Louis hospital. That room, and the entire wing which was demolished in 1978, where those events unfolded with that boy.
    But certain items and relics from the room WERE SAVED.
    I saw them. Up close. Part of that time I was alone.
    And a big mistake that I almost made....
    (By the way, I think many people know by now that it wasn’t a girl as depicted in the movie. It was a young boy. His identity was protected, and as far as I know, he would as of this writing, be in his 80s...if he is still alive. His identity is still unknown and remains a closely guarded secret).
    It may be this next Good Friday 2021 that I finish production and release this episode.
    It’s going to be intense.
    Good triumphs over Evil.

    On Edward Theodore Gein,
    He was also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul. Ed was an American convicted murderer and body snatcher. Gein’s crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety in 1957 after authorities discovered he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. Gein also confessed to killing two women: tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954 and hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957.

    I'm from Ladysmith, WI, and when I was a little kid I thought Ed Gein lived right behind our house, because of all the stories my mom used to tell of him. The best book I've read about Ed Gein is called, Deviant. His mom had wanted a daughter, but she abhorred sex, and after Henry and Ed were born, she was done trying for a girl. I don't know about Henry, but as Ed was growing up, his mom would dress him up as a girl and force him to behave like a girl. I completely blame his crazy, domineering mom for how Ed turned out. In fact, I always thought, if Ed and I had been kids at the same time, we might have been best friends, if it wasn't for his mom. I just always felt sorry for Ed Gein, as a child, and all that his mom did to him growing up. 😱 He never stood a chance at being a "normal" human being.

    Back in September of 2008 I went to Plainfield to buy a motorcycle from a private seller off of Craigslist. I started talking to the older man after I bought the motorcycle about ed gein. He told me that ed was very well known in the area and since there were all mainly farmers in the area if they ever needed help Ed was very generous about helping them with their chores being done such as chopping wood and stacking hay and so on. He also told me one of the things people would call on him for was babysitting their young kids if the parents needed. A matter of fact this guy I bought the motorcycle from said that his grandmother was quite often watched by Ed when she was young. Apparently the kids always got along good with him because he was quite slow with a similar iq of a kid. He would do weird things and say childish like things but people just thought he was a little weird but harmless. Everyone in the area knew this about him, but they didn't expect him doing what he all did. They were very shocked when this all came out back then.
    Back in 2008 when I was there the basement foundation of the house was still there but I don't remember the tree growth being that thick like in this video back then because it was easier to see from the road compared to this video.

    Ron, I had a horrible experience with a Ouija board when I was 13 years old. My friend and I decided to play it down her basement on a Summer afternoon. Now she had a golden retriever which was always by our side but the minute we started playing the game the dog started crying and ran upstairs. I remember this like it was yesterday. We asked the board what day it was and it gave us some futuristic date, all I can remember it was a date in May but I don't remember what year. Then we asked it what day is this and the board answered the day the dead rise. The next thing we asked it is who are you and the board replied, "Satan the devil himself". We immediately ran upstairs and called my sister and she told us to throw the board away and we listened of course. That event terrified me so much that I will never have anything to do with that game again, I don't want it in my house or to be near it.

    When I was a preteen girl, while visiting our family plot like we did every year, I saw a pile of dirt nearby and being the curious type I went to I investigate...I found what looked like a very long bone lying on a pile of earth from freshly dug grave not yet filled. Being young and stupid I decided to take the bone home for our dog...😣 My dog took one whiff and walked away! That night I experienced very bad dreams so the next day I brought the bone back to where I found it...Lesson here is don’t take anything from other people’s resting places whatever they might be!

    I totally agree, you never take anything from a cemetery (unless you're there cleaning up trash) and you always treat each headstone and ground with the utmost respect. Because we never know what they went thru in their lives, and if possibly they're able to sense your presence or what's in your heart. I have had experiences that prove that even though the body had expired and was buried, their energy sometimes remains. I just did a video on that exact message. You always show the utmost respect and that's what I admire about you as well as another channel called Sidestep Adventures. That's why I watch your video's, you guys show the respect towards the departed that they deserve. And if you show respect, you can't go wrong in my opinion.

      When you believe what is often preached in churches that women are in fact always tempting men to commit sin then it is easy to be lead astray. She may have seen herself as righteous but other women as whores. I personally believe she didn't want to fill the traditional wife mother role of women then and hated women because she was forced to live as one. There are many mental diseases that obscure things we are taught in everyday life. She certainly had at least one of them.

    I so agree about messing with the supernatural - people usually kids get a thrill and excitement - and they don't realize that they are messing with demonic activity and opening themselves up to it.. Back in 1971 or 2 my husband was hired by a firm located in Chicago, Ill and we rented a apartment in a suburb which had young couples. I was invited to come to a coffee thing with about 3 other women who were home during the day. After coffee a board was brought out and I was immediately NOT comfortable but didn't want to appear judgmental as I was insecure and didn't know how to handle the situation. I am a Christian and also very sensitive to the supernatural. When this thing started sending out coherent messages, I abruptly got up and gave the excuse that I needed to go be with my daughter. Now this place I will NEVER forget because of the wife-swapping activity that these couples also tried to involve my husband and I. THANK GOD, the company closed in Chicago and moved South to Memphis, TN. I have NEVER forgotten the unease and evil I experienced there. I would NEVER let my kids play with those boards when they had friends over but afraid to get too explicit so they would not be a temptation. THEY ARE NOT TOYS but given those who use them can open up a door to demonic activity -

I've been to that town before I knew the story. May some day return to do some respectful exploration. I grew up just outside of Chicago, near Willow Springs, Justice, Hillside, etc. There is alot of interesting history there(Grimes Sisters, Resurrection Cemetery, Capone Hangouts / Willowbrook Ballroom / Oh Henry's Bar / etc., Mount Carmel Cemetery: resting place of Sam Giancana, Al Capone, Frank Nitti, and more.. even Riverside Illinois where Frank Nitti lived, and North Riverside where he took his own life(I went to High School right across the street from that location, and used to sometimes walk those spur tracks going home from school.) Would love to see more videos on many of these locations and topics. In particular, if any of it interests you; look for a possible connection between Charles Melquest(sp?) who happened to be a stone Mason and a stone hut that is hidden on the property that the Grimes Sisters were found in the late or mid fifties.

While we were there, my grandmother saw a plant she liked that was seemingly growing wild there and she proceeded on digging it up. She ended up taking it home and planted it in her front yard.

    he was a quiet grandfather type....very polite and gentle when he spoke. I went to the cemetery in the early 90s when his
    head stone was still there.....just creeped me out how he could have put on such a horror show

    Ron, this will be long but good reading about Gein. I saw this on TV a couple years ago. I don’t know the names of these family members so will improvise. The story was told by two young men in the family. Will call them Bill and Bob. Bill’s dad, Jack, was a close friend of the two police officers who were first into Gein’s house. These cops were so overcome by what they saw they were vomiting and had someone go get Jack to come and help them investigate. There was a small iron caldron with short legs and handle that Gein had cooked human parts in. When they had the auction of his stuff Jack’s mother wanted the pot. Jack told her it was bad but she got it anyway. She planted flowers in it and had it in her yard for years. Nothing happened to her. She died and Jack cleaned out his mom’s house. He put the caldron and her other belongings in his garage. Shortly after Jack put the caldron in his garage he got sick with cancer and died quickly. His son Bill and his cousin, Bob, had a close friend die in a tragic car accident. Then, an uncle got badly injured in a work accident and died from his injuries. Bill and Bob believed the caldron was causing this evil stuff. They contacted Zac and Aaron of Ghost Adventures on Discovery Channel. Zac told Bill to ship him the caldron. Zac had Bill and Bob come to his house in LA. They went over the background stuff. Zac then got the box the caldron was in. He hadn’t opened it yet. Zac took the caldron out and set it on the floor. He said he felt evil himself. He asked Aaron, one of his crew, to get a EVP meter. They put the meter over the caldron. What I had seen of people using an EVP before the needle would go halfway at most. The needle went as far as it could go without causing the meter to smoke. Lol Zac and Aaron looked at each other and said they had never seen that before! Zac put the caldron back in the shipping box. Those two young guys wouldn’t get near that caldron. I don’t know what Zac did with the caldron.

    He should not have been permitted to be buried within this cemetery. I also found the layout of the graves to be odd. There is a space between Henry's grave and the parents.

      I think the Mother may have decided where her youngest Son would be buried.
      She may have bought the plot of 4, not wanting to be buried with her husband, but along side him instead, and thus having two remaining spaces next to her, she may have chosen where her youngest Son would be buried, as the next of kin, and so deciding who would be buried beside her, Ed. The eldest.
      Ed began digging up nearby, when he was left alone.
      The poor family of the empty grave immediately in front, is a very cruel twist of fate.

    I have also traveled to Plainfield, Wi to check out the town and the cemetery. Never did find the property. A local police officer helped confirmed the cemetery was right next to that state road.
    When I went there was a motel right off the road that takes you past the cemetery and into Plainfield. I did some research at the library in Madison, Wi. Found out motels and restaurants got a small boost as reporters and onlookers filed in to get a peak.
    I have a piece of wood from the property. I know the guy who knew the party responsible for stealing the Gein's headstone. Didn't find out until later when he finally revealed a pic with it in someone's living room. I personally don't desecrate, nor do I encourage others to do so. But if I knew I was probably feet from the stone at times, I would have at least took a picture with it.

Ed was sumthin' and a half but I have to say that his mom did a doozy on him. I've heard that Ed displayed personality issues that sound like he may have suffered from a personality disorder. The nurses that tended to him reportedly said he was quiet and shy mostly, but would occasionally shift to mean gross.
    Thank you for noting the risks that one takes when taking things from graves and weird sites. I made the mistake of taking a pebble from a battlefield in Gettysburg on my first trip out there and my husband I argued like we never ever have. I left that pebbel before my trip home and all was well. I've been back once more and had another miserable experience. I feel like both were tied to having taken that pebble from my first visit.

    So that you know, often times a true Ouija board is burried in a cemetery for up to 10 days normally next to a identifying tree and is done so to put spirits within the board itself before it is dug up and utilized at the cemetery then taken home usually by the person that burried it to begin with. In regards to the Alexian brothers, I believe if I recall, the boy was either 6 years of age or 9. It was one of those years. His childhood home is still standing today I do know and seen it. I spent a great deal of time in St. Charles across the river from St. Louis while on tour with the United States National Judo Team from Colorado and stayed with fans who I became friends with during the time they came to the summer training camp at the National Judo Institute and Olympic training center hosted by the teams located in Colorado Springs
    . Anyways, while doing our St. Louis tour stop for 6 weeks , I did not stay in st. Louis at the hotel but at their place in St. Charles where I got to know most of the locals in town during my off time which was very little. Two of the families, the Pender family and Davis Family from there with 3 relatives taken me by the home and the actual cemetery of the Alexian family plot and to say the least, you do feel a evil presence around both. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adored st. Charles back then and somewhat today but it's different. I drove by there on a cross country trip last year and back but those are two areas I would never ever suggest anyone going to ever at all.

    The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

      I was thinking the same exact thing! I think his dad was a cheater and his mother blamed the other women.

      Well it had a lot to do with the way she seen the woman of that time change from God fearing to as what she said loss and fast. She didn't want her sons to marry any woman but the ones that could live up to her religious standards and they where high. So I believe ed bought into this whole heartedly while his brother thought she was nuts. I think he seen his mother in Mrs ward and when she rejected his advances he was hurt and felt betrayed so he killed her and Mary Hogan he seen everything bad in woman that his mother warned him about. I also believe he killed his brother and set the fire to cover it up. I think he killed Henry because he felt that he betrayed their mother in the way he thought and he also knew that with Henry gone he would have his mother's full attention

    Don't ever burn a Ouija board. Bury them. Very interesting video. I am always amazed at the gruesome things serial killers do to their victims. They definitely are not wired like a normal person.

    Psycho, leather face, silence of the lambs all said to have a Ed as the inspiration. Such a creepy tale.
