My fascination with serial killers comes with a heaping load of shame, except for in one instance: Ed Gein. That's because without Gein, we might not have Norman Bates. Or Leatherface. Or Buffalo Bill. Or the Firefly family. So my shame load was only a mild one as I visited sites related to him in his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin. With my wife and two kids. See photos from our visit to Plainfield here. Hardware Store Address: 110 S. Main St., Plainfield, WI.  Plainfield Cemetery Address: 6590 5th Ave, Plainfield, WI. Property Address: Archer Avenue and Second Avenue. Want to learn about the oddities I visit in real time? Follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Patreon. I also write spooky books, including my latest The Smashed Man of Dread End.
