Ed Gein: The Real Psycho (2021)
Few murderers in American history are as well known as Ed Gein, who might not have scored the highest body count, but whose predilection towards defiling corpses has made him just as infamous decades after his apprehension. Some even think that his infamy can still be felt, with discovery+'s latest Shock Docs entry, Ed Gein: The Real Psycho, investigating whether the spirit of the killer can still be felt around his Wisconsin hometown. You can check out an all-new exclusive clip from The Real Psycho above, in which investigators experience an otherworldly connection to some of Gein's personal artifacts.
