[UA] 119 Nails

[Doctor Jest]

Ed Gein's house was burned to the ground after his death. His former 
property is just a burned out overgrown flat.

I know the fellow who stole his gravestone, however. No kidding. He went 
to plainfield and found his gravestone. He spent years selling chips and 
rubbings of it on Ebay along with a certificate of authenticity until he 
took the stone on tour and it was nabbed by Seattle Police and sent back 
to Wisconsin on grounds it was "private property". Of course, the state 
of Wisconsin took this private property and made it public property and 
put it in a state museum soon after.

The weird UA element of it is that he swears that when he went to 
Plainfield to find Gein's house and his tombstone, that everyone in the 
town looked like Ed Gein. They all had the same ear-flap hats and creepy 
smiles you see in the photos. No one would talk about Gein openly. He 
firmly believes to this day that Ed wasn't the only one like that in 
that town, but that the whole town has a dark secret.
