There's some guys in your team 424 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,760 and it didn't go after them. No. But it went after the female, 425 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,320 which is true to Ed Gein's nature. Correct. 426 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,160 It's one thing for people to say, 427 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,680 "we believe the spirit of Ed Gein still haunts our community," 428 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,280 but you were personally marked.

That's why I feel so confused, 447 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,240 cos it's like I feel like it used to be here, but it's not here. 448 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,320 Like, there's something missing. 449 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,320 Um... 450 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,920 OK. 451 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,800 There's something about this door. 452 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,120 This door feels really important. 453 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,040 It feels... 454 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,640 I feel like this door is right, other things have been moved. 455 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,760 Something's been moved and changed, but this is right. 456 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,720 What's shocking to me, Cindy, is you were drawn to this room. 457 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,880 This was Ed Gein's cell. 458 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,520 And the reason this differs from the smaller more traditional cells, 459 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,520 is they knew they were gonna be 460 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,200 coming in here questioning him a lot, 461 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,000 trying to get confessions 462 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,440 and possibly to keep him away from the other inmates, 463 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,320 because I'm sure they wanted to do him harm. 464 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:42,520 The thing that I feel is, is I keep hearing...I keep hearing him say, 465 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,520 "I think Mother would be proud." But... 466 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,680 "Mother would be proud of the work I did." 467 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,520 Like he really felt he was making his mother proud 468 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,640 by killing these women. 469 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,200 Could it be possible that Ed 470 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,000 was being influenced or controlled by his mother from the grave? 471 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,280 He's very manipulative though, the way that he treats people. 472 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,480 He's so manipulative.
