When police finally caught serial killer Ed Gein in 1957, they found a trove of grim evidence that revealed the horrors of his years of grave-robbing, murder, necrophilia, and cannibalism.
Officers’ search of Gein’s Wisconsin home turned up furniture and kitchen utensils made from human remains, a gutted corpse in his shed, a belt fashioned out of human nipples, and jars of organs.
Though Gein was quickly locked away in an institution for the rest of his life, the creepy photos taken in his home remain chilling to this day.
