New Discovery+ Special Will Investigate The Hauntings of Ed Gein's Hometown; Watch The Trailer

Discovery+ is going to dive into the world of notorious psycho killer Ed Gein with a new special that they will be airing from Shock Docs titled Ed Gein: The Real Psycho. The special will focus on an investigation of the supernatural occurrences in Gein’s hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin. You can watch the trailer for the series below thanks to Decider.

Here’s the description that was shared:

Sixty years after Gein’s arrest, documentary film producer and paranormal investigator Steve Shippy and world-renowned psychic medium Cindy Kaza travel to Gein’s hometown in Plainfield, Wisconsin, to conduct investigations of the most haunted locations connected to the infamous killer. For the first time in history, cameras are allowed on the Gein property where the gruesome evidence was first discovered. Shippy and Kaza also meet up with local residents who provide insight on Gein and discover never-before-seen artifacts believed to be used by this malevolent monster on his helpless victims. With each investigation, the team reveals more evidence to determine what was behind his drive to kill.

The paranormal meets the monstrous when Kaza, using her psychic abilities, holds and reads the history of a found object – the knife believed to be used on Gein’s victims. In each location, the team makes contact with the world of the dead and captures terrifying evidence of the supernatural as they seek to answer the ultimate questions: Is Plainfield haunted by Ed Gein, his mother, and his victims? Does evil live on forever?

Kaza said in a statement, “Tapping into the energy of Ed Gein as he was alive, and dead, will haunt me for the rest of my life.”

Shippy added, “You’d think that having 20 years of experience investigating the paranormal would have prepared me for taking on this case. No matter how much I had read about the man and his atrocities, I never expected to uncover what we did during our investigation.”

If you’re into paranormal stuff, this sounds like something that might be worth checking out! Ed Gein: The Real Psycho starts streaming on Discovery+ on April 9th.
