Ed Gein: Real life horror house: Inspiration to many horror movies

                                     
                                                                 Ed Gein's home


                                                        
                                                                 Ed Gein



Ed Gein was truly a man that was sick. He was the real man behind the inspiration to Physco, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and several others. The thing is he was the real thing, he killed, robbed graves and was thought to eat his victims, he made bowls out of skulls, upholstered his furniture with human skin, and made mask of human faces to hang on his wall for decorations.

I found a 6 part video on youtube that explains the life of this man, to a point you can feel sorry for him for he was controlled by a sick minded Mom, yet his actions only prove he was a man with problems. He was a serial killer whom nobody ever thought he could do. He was from a small town with a population of about 700 people. Watch all the videos and see for yourself. This man surely fits into the strange and unusual.

Searching the house, authorities found:

* human skulls mounted upon the cornerposts of his bed;

* human 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; the deputies' reports all claim that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, with some crime scene photographers claiming it was in a paper bag);

* the facial skin of Mary Hogan, a local tavern owner, found in a paper bag;

* a window blind pull consisting of human lips;

* a "mammary vest" crafted from the skin of a woman's torso;

* a belt made from several human nipples, among many other such grisly objects;

* socks made from human flesh.
* A shoe box with female private parts, and another with noses.

The Strange Beliefs of Religion denominations

Snake handling to show your faith in God, I find just out there. I am a christian, and I consider my faith to be strong, but I also feel that God gave me enough since not to mess with venomous creatures, isn't that why we have common sense

Can you believe this goes on in United States? I am shocked at this belief.... Don't really have an opinion... just plain speechless.....

Seems to be a common practice up dere in dem  dere hills..... Guess this proves that beliefs are different from place to place..... I am from the south too.... but, have never seen or heard of this until recently......  They call it old time religion..... Maybe I find it strange because I don't understand it.......
I am curious to when and why this ever even started? and if you choose not to handle the snakes in their church what do they think of the members who don't? do they feel that they don't have enough faith in God?

STRANGE FUNERAL RITUALS/ RITUALS OF THE AGHORIE

I watched this video, and found it to be so strange that I would add it to my blog, I could not imagine keeping my dead loved one for a year or more  living in my home as if they were still alive before burying them. Makes me glad that our rituals pertaining to death is much different.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Another video I decided to add to this blog post, the rituals of Aghori. This video is about 8 minutes long but it is CRAZY. They take the menstrual blood of a female statue and wipe it on themselves. Who in their right mind would wipe blood from a female genitalia on themselves?
They the ash and bones of dead bodies in their rituals..... I know Crazy right? yes I said the same thing. They eat their meals from a human skull ....... and they eat rotting human flesh..... all this while sitting a dead corpse....

________________________________________________________________________________

This is just proof that people are CRAZY...... but of course they may think we are CRAZY too!!!!!

MEMENTO MORI/ VICTORIAN PICTURES OF THE DEAD

These photographs served less as a reminder of mortality than as a keepsake to remember the deceased. This was especially common with infants and young children; Victorian era childhood mortality rates were extremely high, and a post-mortem photograph might be the only image of the child the family ever had
The earliest post-mortem photographs are usually close-ups of the face or shots of the full body and rarely include the coffin. The subject is usually depicted so as to seem in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more lifelike. Children were often shown in repose on a couch or in a crib, sometimes posed with a favorite toy or other plaything. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even braced on specially-designed frames. Flowers were also a common prop in post-mortem photography of all types.

The effect of life was sometimes enhanced by either propping the subject’s eyes open or painting pupils onto the photographic print, and many early images (especially tintypes and ambrotypes) have a rosy tint added to the cheeks of the corpse.

Later examples show less effort at a lifelike appearance, and often show the subject in a coffin. Some very late examples show the deceased in a coffin with a large group of funeral attendees; this type of photograph was especially popular in Europe and less common in the United States.








The practice was known as Memento Mori. Some photography studio had frames designed to pose dead babies up and resident make-up artists who specialized in painting open eyes on the eyelids of dead children to make them appear as though their eyes were open and still alive.

As gory as this may sound, these pictures surly show how much these people and children were loved by their family.

To me this would be  a sad reminder, but I suppose if you had no pictures of your loved ones this would be better than nothing. It just breaks my heart to see all these little children. It should remind us to thank God for medicines that we have today.
