The Devil's Cauldron (Ed Gein)

The Devil’s Cauldron

The Haunted Museum: Season 2, Episode 2

After purchasing Ed Gein’s cauldron at a Gein estate sale in 1958, Evelyn Mair’s family had many negative experiences with the cursed item, forcing them to get rid of it.

When a nurse touches a cauldron once used by infamous murderer Ed Gein, she becomes infected by the evil attached to it and descends into a nightmare traversing time and space.

A peculiar item hit the auction block in 2015: An iron cauldron purported to have been belonged to Ed Gein, said to have contained human remains on the day of his arrest. Moreover, this cauldron seemed to be haunted, causing trouble for its owner, Dan McIntyre.

McIntyre reached out to me through Cult of Weird to share the story of the cauldron, detailing how it came to be in his family’s possession, and explaining that a friend of the family claimed to have seen it in Gein’s house with blood and human entrails inside.

Cult of Weird broke the news of the impending auction, garnering the attention of Ghost Adventures star Zak Bagans who put in the winning bid of $2,800.

The following year, Ed Gein‘s cauldron was featured in an episode of the Ghost Adventures spinoff Deadly Possessions in which Bagans spoke with McIntyre about his experiences with the seemingly cursed object.

Bagans’ Haunted Museum opened in Las Vegas with the cauldron on display.
