Ed Gein’s CHILLING Last Courtroom Message Before His Sentence
Ed Gein’s CHILLING Last Courtroom Message Before His Sentence
The courtroom was silent — the kind of silence that hums, heavy and unnatural. Reporters filled every seat, their pens trembling above blank pages. The air reeked of sweat, old wood, and something else… fear.
Ed Gein stood at the defense table, shackled, pale, and eerily calm. His thin lips trembled, not from nerves, but from something colder — satisfaction. The judge had just read the verdict, and everyone waited for the monster of Plainfield to say his final words.
When he finally looked up, his eyes were hollow — two gray moons reflecting nothing human.
“You think I’m the only one,” he whispered.
The gallery stirred. Cameras flashed.
“You think evil wears my face. But I just gave it a home. It’s in your basements. Your barns. Your kitchens. You just don’t dig deep enough to find it.”
The judge struck the gavel, warning him to stop, but Gein’s voice only grew steadier.
“I never made monsters,” he said, glancing at the jurors one by one. “I just stitched them together. You all bring the parts.”
A woman in the front row fainted. Another began to sob. Reporters scribbled frantically, trying to capture every word before the guards moved in.
Gein smiled — a small, crooked grin that froze the room.
“You can bury me,” he said, “but you can’t bury the hunger. Someone else will dig it up. Someone always does.”
Then, as the guards dragged him away, he turned once more toward the gallery.
“You’ll see me again. Maybe not in your dreams — maybe in your mirrors.”
The doors slammed shut. The sound echoed through the courthouse like a coffin lid closing.
No one spoke for nearly a minute. And when the reporters finally looked down at their notes, every one of them realized they’d written the same thing without meaning to — the same final word:
“Again.”
