When police entered Ed Gein’s farmhouse in 1957, they uncovered a nightmare — lampshades made of human skin, bowls carved from skulls, and a body hanging in the shed. It turned out Gein’s gruesome obsession came from his twisted devotion to his abusive, fanatical mother. He confessed to killing two women and robbing graves, but his crimes went far beyond murder — they reshaped horror itself, inspiring Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. It’s wild to think one man’s deranged life story became the blueprint for decades of horror. Real life really is scarier than fiction sometimes. #UnexpectedHistory #Horror #UnexpectedFinds
