Murderous Ghoul Ed Gein's Grave

Located near the middle/center of the cemetery. Met a nice tourist there after we located the grave. Hopefully he wasn't plotting our death. Don't go at night, go with a buddy.

Ed Gein's Hometown

I live in Plainfield. Ed Gein did not; he lived about seven miles out. There is nothing to see in Plainfield except the hardware store, and that's just a store. Sorry, but I'm so sick of people going in the graveyard (I live on the same road). Save your time. There's no headstone, just a hole from people taking dirt. This didn't happen all that long ago as time goes, so just be respectful. Thanks.
