Ed Gein was arrested 58 years ago today in Plainfield, WI after the remains of a local hardware owner were found on his property. After his mother’s death in 1945, Ed began exhuming the remains of recently deceased women who reminded him of her. He felt as though he had the power to resurrect the dead. Spiritland Cemetery, just a few minutes north of Plainfield near the town of Almond, is one of three cemeteries where Gein desecrated graves to procure body parts for his ghastly hobbies. The cemetery got its name because a man claimed to commune with the spirit of his wife there after her burial. Numerous reports of paranormal experiences in the cemetery have lead some to believe that Gein’s tampering left the spirits restless in Spiritland.
