Now, I am sure we have all heard of him, but it is always fun to read about!

Edward Theodore Gein (August 27, 1906July 26, 1984) was an American killer and graverobber. His crimes earned widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned gruesome trophies and keepsakes from them.
Searching the house, authorities found:
- Human skulls mounted upon the corner posts of his bed
- Skin fashioned into a lampshade and used to upholster chair seats
- Human skullcaps, apparently in use as soup bowls
- A human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; deputy reports all claimed that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, while some crime scene photographers claimed it was in a paper bag)
- Skin from the face of Mary Hogan, a local tavern owner, found in a paper bag
- A window shade pull consisting of human lips
- A vest crafted from the skin of a woman's torso;
- A belt made from several human nipples
- Socks made from human flesh
- A sheath made from human skin
- A box of preserved vulvas that Gein admitted to wearing.
- An array of "shrunken heads"
