It had to be mind blowing to walk into a crime scene like this in the 50’s.
For sure…. There must be something wrong with the water in WI
Or now for that matter.
Any day and age I would imagine.
When we would drive down 39 on the way to Madison from our home town, my dad would always say “That’s where Ed Gein made those people into lamps and chairs”. That was terrifying as a kid.
I'd make me my mom tell me the Ed Gein story as a bedtime story.
Lol dad's always have to nonchalantly say stuff like that lol
what else did your dad say
I’m a landscaper… digging holes is hard… digging up a 6 foot grave would be a hell of a task to do voluntarily.
He must have had some sort of deep seated drive to do that.. wild
He targeted freshly buried bodies so in that context the soil would be lose and no tree roots, stones etc. Still crazy hard work but not as prohibitive as digging a new hole in compacted soil.
Watched a lot of these types of videos around Plainfield, but this was the best yet. Very respectfully done.
i actually found him talking about him digging up and mutilating corpses right next to peoples graves especialy next to the victims grave kinda disrespectful
@@stargirl6992 but did you die?
I agree🦩🎃🎃
Oh please😂@@stargirl6992
"Welcome to Wisconsin, we eat people." Saw that on a bumper sticker and a few bridges near there. It can be cold and quiet, but so much fun growing up in between Milwaukee and Chicago.
I am from Wisconsin I sadly know.
I'm from and still am living in Wisconsin
@@Regina0964 “living”
Is it as awful as I presume?
Racine WI in the house!
Just add a little hot sauce and stick it on the grill and you’ll have barbecue for a week.
The great Boris Karloff said it best in the movie; "Targets"....
"The real horror isn't in the movies, it's in the newspapers."
I thought I knew the whole story, but you shared a few things I didn't know. I think that unlike Bundy, and Gacy, Ed truly was criminally insane. Another great video, guys. Thank you!!
My great grandma lived down the road from him, and would tell me how he would always help my great grandma around the farm and to hear him say they helped people gave me goosebumps.
try looking at things from other ppl's perspective. he was a person, who from what the movies i've seen (i know hollywood exaggerates but, there is truth to it even if it is a shred) he was mistreated mentally probably emotionally/physically because he seemed a little different or "slow" mentally & you add in the delusions that religion can install into ppl + the time period (even though there r still plenty of situations that happen like his but don't always end up the same), situations like these r ticking time bombs. he seemed nice & helpful because i'm sure besides these acts he was a nice & helpful person, but you don't know what he was going through internally, alone. he had a curiosity about women & wasn't properly taught how to interact & told "lies" (which thb were they really lies? she probably wasn't a very nice person herself & we don't know how his family actually treated him, but sometimes it takes a not so nice person to get actual truth out as damaging as it might b) when the right combinations collect in an environment it can really damage some ppl. there r a lot of cases where families turn on certain members in families & torment in some way/s to achieve something, whatever that something might b i'm guessing reasoning varies. i don't necessarily condone or defend the things he did but i feel bad for him with the way that ppl treated him, he's not the only reason why he was the way he was. every1 is always telling every1 else to take accountability while not accepting that his actions could have been caused BECAUSE of his environment which would b partially other ppl's responsibility unless they left him to b truly alone, but in cases like this it's always ppl who want control over something or some1's life/perspective etc. some ppl aren't as able to control themselves, you never know who or when that's why you aren't supposed to provoke. you never know who exactly is doing the provoking tho, unless you r.
@@dEAthlikEstAtic you are right on target. Nobody is born evil. It's the environment that surrounds them and what they do with it that turns them evil.
Weird people pick and choose who they bother I'm sure your grandma wasn't a threat to him
Years ago we found the property. My general impression was sadness. On the property I could hear no birds. Sometimes that is not so unusual. My friend said he swore he saw someone standing there. We visited the cemeteries and Plainfield.
@@danielmorse4213 what name of the street did ed live on in plainfield ??
I think many of us knew this story, but you managed to pull it all together in one excellent video. The visuals, especially at the end, are stunning. Lately, you've been doing some heavy stuff, but, as you say, it's history. History needs to be documented, and remembered. Keep up the excellent storytelling.
Thank you, I myself have found it much easier to understand history once we started actually walking it. There’s just something about being right there that makes it all make sense.
@@grimmlifecollective Great work, keep it up!
@@grimmlifecollective YES! as a lover of history I Second and Third that! :D

As always, the respect you show for the victims is incredible.

@fatopossum then don’t watch
As a long haul trucker, what you do for a living is my goal for relaxation and exploration. One day, i hope to travel across country in my old Suburban with a mattress in the back and tour all the morbid and strange historical places. I’m going through your entire catalog.God bless you both.
I found an aerial photo of the Gein property from April 29, 1957. Southwest corner of the intersection of Archer Ave & 2nd Ave just like you said. In the aerial you can see the house near the intersection and the barn about 50 yards south of the house, and they both faced 2nd Ave. The house sat exactly where Baby Ghoul walked onto the property to the right side of the gate, and sat maybe 15 yards off the road. She first stopped and stood looking south about where the porch on the south (or left) side of the house was. So yes, you both stood on the ground where the house was. That driveway circled past the left side of the house and went south, down to the barn.
Im in Colorado, but have been to the property several times now, just went again in August.
It’s hard to imagine the owner hasn’t done something to stop the tours.
Please don’t ever stop making these videos. Makes me feel like I’m not alone and completely normal! Please come to England and do the same here!
It will happen Jessica. Already planning it and Hoping for October 2023. To coincide with the For the Love of horror convention. Fingers and bones crossed
@@grimmlifecollective have you seen the new chainsaw massacre yet????
@@afrolintln7677 i love the TCM universe, but the last 3 movies have been quite disappointing to me.
@@bruzey7786 agreed!!!!!!!!!
Cool idea on making videos in English!!!
Michael and Jessica, I have to admit that I almost skipped this one. I knew the story (to a point) and hesitated. You covered the history in a respectful way. I think that we are fascinated (horrified) by this because it is so OUT THERE. What makes a mind turn to this monstrous thing? I feel sorry for the town that has this in the history. Well done, kids. We have to know history to avoid the past mistakes and crimes.
My wife's grand parents knew Ed Gein he was a farmer in thier small town, they said he was a nice guy. Everyone there knew him, but they didn't have clue about what he was doing.
Even Jessica is always so respectable in keeping your videos smooth flowing --- Thanks both of you for showing love and compassions for the victims.
I am 68, and a huge fan. I see you and Jessica as I do my own kids, so I have to say, please stay safe and be careful as you bring us your fascinating videos. You guys in Chicago's dangerous streets very recently made me nervous. Stay safe ~Love, fromYour fairy Godmother, Trish.
The Psychiatrist at the end of Psycho is my great uncle.
Nice! Some have said that his scene at the end of the film is superfluous and only exists because the studio forced Hitchcock to make extra sure that audiences understood
the story. And in a way, I agree with that. But I also happen to enjoy that scene because of your great uncle's performance.
Not only did he have a pleasant voice to listen to, but the way he delivered his speech of exposition made him sound fairly modern for the time.
The film was shot at a time when depression was still being treated with electric shocks, so to have someone actually consider the psychological problems of the antagonist
was very mature, I think. I haven't read the book or the script, so I'm not sure who wrote your great uncle's lines, but he delivered them convincingly nevertheless.
I had never heard of Ed Gein until the 1990s when Blind Melon wrote a song about him called 'Skinned'. Great song. Thanks for the video!
I didn't know Blind Melon written a song about him. I got to check out that song.
I noticed the electrical lines are still in the exact same spot, it looks like those two trees directly in front of the gate are growing where the house stood. The path of the driveway is still there as nothing wants to grow over it. Very cool.
Hi. At what time on the video do you see the electrical lines?? Thank you..
The property at the gate was terrifying for me to see right at the beginning of the video. I got cold chills. I bet it felt even more terrifying in person. I never really knew the whole story of Ed Gein. You did such thorough research as always. Thank you so much for all you do. Safe travels.
When i was there, I was driving and paralyzed with fear and anxiety and couldn't move.
@@cynthiakluck-johnson5895 bet you love it 😀
My mom was just out of high school when this happened. She told me how shocking it was 4 its time.
Your discomfort and compassion are palpable. I trust that you and your lovely wife always remember to protect your energy as you go through the ugly details of these stories. Thank God for the beauty that remains on the former Gein property. 😔 We appreciate what you do! ♥️
There were two hunters that mysteriously disappeared on the Ed Grin property. The 14 year old boy had Ed Gein over for supper at his family's house. Ed Gein enjoyed Mac and cheese and a hearty supper.
They were not on Gein's property.
I was 10 years old and living in Southeast Missouri when this story broke. I vividly remember reading about it in the newspaper. Although I was horrified, it sparked my interest in true crime, and I have been a fan ever since. Thank you for telling this story and taking us to the site.
I was not alive back then but can only imagine how hard this crime hit the country. We hadn’t seen the Bundys or Dahmers of the world yet- Gein was probably the most disturbing serial killer in history ..
Not going to lie I really wish they would have preserved the Gein home so we could go through it
@@billsimms2511

@@573semobulls3 I grew up in Bernie.
For reference, it’s between Dexter and Malden. My father was a machinist at the Malden Air Base. It shut down when I was in 7th grade, and my father found work in St. Louis. My husband and I graduated from SEMO, as well as our children. Where are you from?
@@brendacook6576 haha yea I know exactly where that's at I'm from Kennett bout 25 miles from there
I can see your discomfort and anxiety here. Thank you for sharing this even in your uneasiness. It is horrifying.
I think one thing you missed that , for me, really added to how gross this was, was the state of this house. Apparently there were rat droppings all over the floor in layers and mites, roaches, flies, and larvae were all over the place. It really sounds sickening.
I'm SO GLAD I stumbled upon your channel!!! I'm thankful to you & Baby Ghoul for telling & dissecting history from fantasy/lore. I'm awe struck with history & all it has to offer. I, like yall, do all I can to preserve historical facts and correct those who only know the lore. Keep up the GREAT work!
I could have shared pictures my father took of the house and property. He was an officer there assisting. He showed us where the house stood and those who know exactly who burned the house
That's a shame that folks decided to burn that home down. I'm sure most wouldn't keep the same energy with other sites of atrocities.
That is so interesting could you possibly share the pictures
You have gold and don't share it? C'mon man!
In Poland we also have a similar psychopath, they called him a cold surgeon because he was digging up fresh or less fresh corpses buried in the cemetery. Scary stories. There are currently several books and many podcasts about him. Edmund Kolanowski. A very rare case of necrophilia. There are no words to express how much I like your channel. Greetings from Poland....and Happy Halloween 🎃👀
Wisconsinite here. Lots of creepy stories here. I just love the way you tell a story. Your a very good story teller, you can tell you genuinely love this❤
Crazy that you mentioned the babysitting part. I was speaking about serial killers yesterday and a friend's friend was one of the people he watched. Absolutely terrifying to think about.
Excellent video!
That's part of what made Ed go unnoticed for all those years. He appeared harmless and trustworthy, so people didn't think to look beyond the outside of him and his house.
Of course, back then nobody in America had heard of any one person, let alone a fellow White American, do anything at all like Ed Gein had done. So why look for something that doesn't exist?
my dad had a brick from john wayne gacycys crawlspace
@@patrickprendergast9589 Why?
I think the reason we are so interested in these types of crime is down to our morbid fascination. You are a great storyteller and I thank you for bringing us these videos.
You did it again. With a story as old as the hills you provided a fresh take with details I don't recall hearing before in the many big budget cable channel documentaries.
Hard to believe that the town allowed Gein to be buried in a town cemetery.
For real, I thought they would have buried him on prison grounds or even cremate him and bury him there... crazy!
It wasnt like he was a hated evil man , he used to babysit in the small community. He was a sick man , he was put in a mental asylum. I remembered when the last lady went missing and they joked maybe ed got um haha Ed's a lady killer and ed responded yum yum they were good and smirked.
@@patrickroy3380 Sick? Ya think!?!
I don't think that the citizens were told. He was just buried there.
I think his grave is unmarked so you can't find it very easy
I thought Jeffery domer was the biggest monster I've ever heard of until ed geen. My stomach was actually nauseous when you were explaining what the cops found in the farm house.
Good lord.. I knew a lot about Ed. However- I didn't know he WORE his mother.
Another thorough video...
Thank you..
Yes. His crimes were beyond comprehension. But we must remember that this man was Ill. once again , you guys take us to places that we would never go. Thank you .Respect.
And he liked home furnishing !🪑
Dirk Diggler has taken people where many of us don't dare to go. 😂
😂😂😂😂
I’m doing my best.!!As Amber’s legal team said 😂😂😂😂
Chris Farley's older brother, Tom, said the family lived in a house on Lake Mendota, and it was directly across from The Mendota Mental Health Institution. Gein was there when they were growing up, and Tom said it was a scary as kids to know he was their neighbor. Tom Farley shared this information on Dana Carvey and David Spade's podcast for the 25th anniversary of Chris Farley's passing. | Thank you both for the video and journey.
I have goosebumps how graphic this Ed Gein was 😳 beautiful parcel of land where the farmhouse once stood
"Psycho" sehe ich gern, sowohl in deutsch als auch in englisch, wunderbarer Schauspieler.Tolle Stimme, tolle Ausstrahlung gehabt.DANKE für deine tollen Videos..
There is a 2000 film titled “Ed Gein,” starring Steve Railsback, who played Charles Manson in the 1976 film, “Helter Skelter.” I haven’t seen it, but knowing that Steve Railsback put a lot of himself into his Manson role, I’d bet he turns in a great performance.
I absolutely love it❤
its better the movie deranged 1974
@@lesleyrussell8200 I've never never seen that one I'm gonna check it out.
@@kyliesworld89 maybe you dont have seen that too,,.....clive barkers a-z of horror-psycho/ed gein(bbc2,1997)
I have several books about Ed and I thank you so much for taking me there!
Imagine having been a neighbor or acquaintance of Ed maybe being a farmer next door and knowing he was different then finding all these things about him. What a shock it must have been. Great coverage of this story👍
It was reported that a man named James Walsh was report "vanished" ans he was Ed Gein's neighbor. His other neighbors he would eat and hang out with, bring "fresh venison" even though he never shot a deer in his life. One of the neighbor's daughter found shrunken heads in his farm but he explained it as a relic from the Phillipines that his cousin got during the WW2. They were human masks. There was a lot of disappearances that no one knew about around that time, both at that town and around it. Apparently two male deer hunters vanished near his house too.
@@FIRE-LOTUS very scary
@@FIRE-LOTUS Investigators found no missing persons in the area at the time Ed was active... other than the tavern owner he shot in '54. The hunters were not near Ed's place & he was cleared of any involvement there, anyway.
I love your channel because you tell the history of the story but you feel it. I can see how disturbed you were telling this gruesome story, and Thank you for being you. I love Jessica too. The dynamic duo💚💚💛💛
Plainfield is my hometown, but in Illinois. Gein and Gacey were the talk all the time, as Stateville is right by me as well. Crazy living near Chicago with all its lore.
I was born in WI, and now, 57 yrs later, have come back here. We're outside of Madison. My husband and I went through Plainfield, and decided to stop at the cemetery where Gein's family is buried. It was no big deal lol. Stuff like this happens sometimes in this messed up world.
Also, my husband's father was a Postman in Madison after Gein was put into Mendota State Hospital there. He delivered there and to the ward where Gein was held, and often saw him when he delivered. True Story!
I'm about your age. My mother's family lived there and my dad did some photography at the crime scene. He passed away before I leaned of that and the family did not keep any of that. 😮 The Gein story never came up in my years growing up in WI. Beer, brats, and Packers!
Thank you for getting the story correct. I saw another video about Ed and the narrator said Ed killed 13 people. I knew it was only 2 (3 if you believe he killed Henry).
The Camera you use is Amazing. Definitely one of the best on TH-cam. The Clarity is just spectacular.
I am watching this video while doing housecleaning, & I've had to stop several times to simply comprehend some of the crazy things Ed did😳🤯 Thanks to you and baby ghoul for covering these historic cases. It's important to learn about the terrible things of the past, so we can better appreciate when beautiful things happen today.
"Are you feeling upside down or even empty inside? I've got a couple different faces if you need a place to hide..." The opening lines from Amigo the Devil's song, The Weight, about Gein. His song The Dreamer is also about Gein.
I wasn't born until 1965, but I've always been haunted by this story. You guys are great😘
Long winters give you time for unusual hobbies! Urban legend said that Ed worked in the upholstering shop when he was locked up!He truly was a really life ghoul! Imagine the official’s gut reaction when they walked into this real house of horror! Saw the photos in a documentary about Ed’s life… wow! My wife always calls me out for watching horror movies, I respond by saying actual life is way more horrific!
Just the other day I watched your Dahmer video and said "Ooooooh, they're in Wisconsin!!!!! I hope they do an Ed Gein video!" Thanks Grimm-Life!
🤘
Sneaky sneaky…you never know where and when we will pop up. Thank you for watching.
@@grimmlifecollective alsoooooooooooo, you mentioned Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Slayer also wrote one of the best songs of their career about Mr. Gein, "Dead Skin Mask".
Another fascinating video! Great job!
You are right on the money with why it burnt down. My grandfather told me all about it.
I bet a lot of the men of Plainfield went together to burn down his farmhouse. When you showed the old pic of the hardware store, I thought that slanted building looked like a stairway maybe leading down to a cellar or basement.
Hopefully you can visit the small town of Skidmore, Missouri. That's where the town bully "Ken Rex McElroy" lived and terrified the residents of Skidmore.
My great aunt was Married to Harley race and was actually in the book they Wrote about “ ken McElroy “ when they broke into a house and cooked breakfast. I’ve always been told he wasn’t as bad as they Make him out to be. I always say. I’m sure it cause you was a female.
Saw the 80's movie about Ken Rex McElroy. That guy was a bully that loved to pick at elderlys and women. Didn't feel bad that the towns people killed him. The only ones that defended McElroy was his family.
I live in Surrey England. I love your mini documentaries. I watch them when I have an hour to spare here and there, the first one that I saw was the day the music died, I’ve probably seen 5 now keep them coming. I don’t think it’s morbid. I find them insightful great presentation and very informative 👍🏻
I am from Manchester England UK.I really want to visit this place one day, and also other seriel killer sites it's so interesting great video guys
The old lady was only 58.....she looks 80. Very respectfully done i have to say. Its heartbreaking. These stories must stay with ye 💕
Amazing story GLC, thank you for telling it so well..
I AM OBESSED with your channel!! So amazing!! GREAT WORK!!!
The 1974 horror movie, "Deranged" was one of the best depiction's of Ed Gein.
You guys rock!!! Thank you for all you do !!! Starkweather is in the Wyuka cemetery right on O street in Lincoln NE... With some research you can find out where Carolannes house was!
Ed is still a popular and polarizing figure here in Wisconsin. You'll meet people who are repulsed by what he did and some who claim it as bragging rights of sorts. Safe travels you two.
the people of Plainfield Don't know his backstory all the see are the killings he did . Read his backstory he was abused by his parents and was not given any hope for a normal life and he had mental illness that is just awful not excusing what he did.
I'm one who has bragging right seeing my parents met him he saw me when I was under 5 years old and we were given that checkered hat
This case is so scary and terrifying to know it actually happened. Imagine if it was your hometown and you knew the people.
Love love love this ghoulish stuff! I'm a horror buff that's also into history so Grimmlifecollective hits the mark on all parameters for me! Thanks guys ,you knocked it outta the park again!!!!
They are perfect!! Especially if you love horror and true crime
Nicely done! A TRUE horror story , & one not to be forgotten . This story spawned at least 3 films , & MANY campfire tales...
Loving the Hell out of your road trip videos.
Really enjoyed this a lot. Very cool to see the actual places and hear about the stories behind them. Very well executed dialogue! Keep em coming!
It's a horror story. It's insane. At the same time, it's a sad story. A story about loss and loneliness. Desperate love. Desperate love twisted and delusional. A man with nothing but his insane drive that he did not fully understand. A man who probably knew nothing about love but knew he was empty inside. The town is quiet and peaceful. It lends an air of a dream state. There's nothing that says Ed Gein was there or is there. Beneath the dream is a nightmare.
Truth really is stranger than fiction.
I love when you guys do a longer video! 🙌🏼
Can you imagine the moment the police open the coffin and Gein says "oh bugger, I've been looking for that crowbar"
"I'm a little hesitant about reading this, because honestly is a little bit too much, it's making me a little queasy. But history is history, and you need to remember these things"
Never a truer word spoken.
I love your videos, guys :)
Only just discovered and subscribed to your channel, and I'm working through your vids slowly... but I love your style, and the way you present the things that need to be presented and I love how when there's a subject that can disturb or upset, you always make a point of being kind and respectful toward the subject and to your viewers.
You're insightful, intelligent, respectful, and most of all you both seem like genuinely interested and interesting people.
Keep it up, guys :)
My boyfriend and I love watching your videos. They are brilliant and so informative🖤
Dahmer and now Gein, truly grim and creepy. Interesting and entertaining
This video brings back memories of my time in the Monastery in Oconomowoc WI......I used to be amazed how empty those huge farm fields were....the rich black dirt and peace and quiet!
Ron, I have almost watched all your videos, I really enjoy them and I repeat them because they are so interesting. Salutes and blessings from Tampa, Florida.
Wow. You came across such detail in your research. I don't blame that little town for wanting to forget the horrendous past, of what happened in their peaceful little town so long ago. My heart goes out to the women he killed and to the other women who he did such horrible stuff to after they had died.
Oh cool! Creepy old Ed Gein! Have to save this for later, can't wait! You guys rock! Much love😘😘💕✌️
Yall 2 do these videos with a level of respect and empathy for the victims like I have never seen In any other video/documentary from anyone else ever. Love yall, please keep videos coming for as long as possible!!!💯💜💙
I heard this story but thanks for being much more informative and detailed great job
man.. I had a look of disgust on my face the whole time. But we need to see this and learn about it. I hope you know that what you're doing is very very important. Tv would just dramatize this and make it feel more like a fantasy. But this is raw and real. I will always commend you on what you're doing sir. one of the best channels on youtube
It has to be hard on any relatives of the Wordans, knowing that Ed Gein is nearby. I would imagine that family plot was there long before the crimes were committed, and way before Gein had died - i'm sure they didn't expect him to be buried there.
I think you did a respectful report on this situation. As a History Major, and someone who has always loved History, I know how important it is to accurately report historical facts, no matter how ugly they are. When people attempt to sanitize history, they rob others of the crucial need to learn lessons from that history.
I think it's unsettling for a site of such horror to appear so serine. It leaves our imagination to dress the set with our own nightmares.
Two things are hard to believe: Ed in the arrest video was around 50 years old and the woman in the old picture was only 57-58 years old. Why did people in the 1950s look decades older than their actual ages?
Something doesn’t add up there. Also, I don’t understand the pentagram on her headstone
Wisconsin will do that to you. You’ll look ten years older.
As for the Star/Pentogram, I notice letters near it as well, I’m very confused is there a Masonic symbol like that?
Iv noticed that too but not just the 50s
Hard living in past generations leads to rough aging. We can complain about our problems today, but honestly we've had it easy. We didn't grow up during the great depression, suffering the effects of malnourishment in our formative years. We didn't have friends who took up smoking at ten years old. We didn't do hard manual labor seven days a week on the family farm from the time we were big enough to carry a shovel. It all adds up.
They tended to live "harder" lives, not to mention diet, exercise (or lack of), sun exposure, smoking - all things that can affect how old you look.
I'm loving these heavy-hitter episodes! You cover everything so respectfully, y'all do an amazing job
The house was slightly to the right if you're looking straight in from the driveway gate. Not left. About 20 feet or so straight behind where the girl was standing at the 7:35 mark. 18:12 - 18:30 marks you two would've been standing the closest to it. Great video.
Fantastic video. Never really got into the Horror movie category, and only learned about Ed yesterday. Now im fascinated.
Going on location is a huge thing for me. It makes it a more impactful connection then just seeing a slide show, or reading it in a book.
Keep it up
great video and very respectfully done.my hats off to you both,happy Halloween 🎃
Thanks for another great video! I love how you take the time to line up shots from old pictures, even if there really isn’t anything to line up. I love the passing of time and the old pictures you include
Harold Schetcher is the Steven King of true crime and he did an excellent job covering Gein in his book "Deviant".
Great video! Crystal clear picture. But dude you are great at what you do. I’ve heard this story dozens of times, but never heard the true depth of it till this video. Subscribed!
You guys are the true MVP’s for consistently giving us this content!! Btw dude loving the nails-very metal 🤟
"Deviant" was one of THEE best books I've ever read. If you're interested in Ed Gein, read it. Every detail you could imagine is in that book. Excellent read.
Does it tell how crazy his mother was and how she treated him.?
@@merricat3025 yes it does, its a really great book
I lived in Bradenton Florida for 34 yrs until so many people moved there it took me 40 minutes to drive 3 miles to my gym. I moved to the middle of no where Alabama where I can drive 20 and maybe not pass another car except for farm equipment. I love it great motorcycle country. My in-laws lived in Grantsburg Wisconsin it looked just like where you're at there. Thanks for another great video.
I’m originally from WI and ‘remember my mom talking about this years ago and how horrendously creepy it was hearing about this much less seeing where it happened!
I would love to metal detect that property. I bet there is all kinds of Grimm relics in the ground
