Via Zillow, Elvis’s first home in Memphis, Tennessee is on the market, listed on Ebay…..
A house that used to belong to Ed Gein, the infamous serial killer who has been featured in several movies including “Psycho” and “Silence of the Lambs” was on the market on Ebay, but got pulled. Gein skinned people and made suits out of them. The property for sale was where police discovered all sorts of body parts and people-clothing. Why did EBay stop the auction? Because it violated their policy of not selling items associated with murder.

I bought Ken Kesey’s infamous house in La Honda, CA, from Ken. This is where the psychedelic era began. I restored it and plan to sell within the year. I’d like to sell it to someone who appreciates what the Kesey phenomenon was about. Anyone interested?
