Ed Gein always creeped the **** out of me. Back as a kid I'd be interested in looking up stuff like Jack the Ripper and whatnot, but then I looked up Gein and saw a crime scene photo and it kind of put me off the whole thing for the most part.
Ed Gein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I remember posting this a while back in the Spam thread, but according to the author Ann Rule, who apparently knew him before he became infamous, Ted Bundy used to volunteer at a suicide hotline. Depending on how good he was at his job, and how long he worked there, there's a chance he actually saved more lives than he killed. Weird.
