Plainfield Cemetery is easy to reach, just a few hundred feet from Interstate 39 in Central Wisconsin, about a hundred miles west of Green Bay. There, in an unmarked grave, lies the body of Ed Gein.
Ironically, Gein is buried in the same cemetery from which he exhumed the bodies of some of the women whose body parts he used to make his crafts, according to Mike Bie's book, It Happened in Wisconsin.
Perhaps even more ironically, Gein is buried between his parents, the overbearing, religious zealot mother whose fanatical preaching informed his, shall we say, complicated views of women, and his allegedly neglectful, alcoholic father.
However, unlike those of his parents, Gein's grave is unmarked. That's because, according to Atlas Obscura, his tombstone attracted unwanted attention, often getting vandalized or even stolen. The stone marker has since been moved to a museum, but the grave of America's strangest serial killer remains, without any attention being called to it, in an unassuming final resting place.
Decider reports that Discovery+ will stream the documentary Ed Gein: The Real Psycho beginning April 9.
