Wisconsin Sickness Graverobber T-shirt

Wisconsin has a long and sordid history of grave robbing and body snatching that began with our infamous deviant Ed Gein, who dug up corpses of recently deceased dead women in Plainfield and surrounding areas for some good old fashioned Wisconsin craft time. But it doesn’t end there with skin masks and mammary vests.

In 2006 three twenty-year-old males in Lancaster, WI were accused of attempted grave robbing and sexual assault of the corpse of a girl killed in a motorcycle crash the week before after they saw her obituary photo in the newspaper. They had actually managed to dig down to the vault when police arrived, responding to a report of suspicious activity in the cemetery. But it turned out Wisconsin has no laws against necrophilia, so the sexual assault charges were dropped.

Naturally, this is a great topic for the next t-shirt from Wisconsin Sickness, the Mental Shed project whose goal is to expose Wisconsin’s dark underbelly of music, art, film, legend and lore.

All Wisconsin Sickness t-shirts are expertly printed and processed by Bored in the Basement. Check out the official BitB-powered Wisconsin Sickness shop right here.
