Gein's grave marker became the focus of repeated theft and dark pilgrimage, which local ghost-lore has framed as evidence of the site's malign energy. The headstone was stolen in 2000 and recovered in Seattle in 2001; it now resides in evidence storage at the Waushara County Sheriff's Department. Ghost-tour accounts, as compiled by American Ghost Walks, treat the stone's theft as part of a broader pattern of 'cursed' activity attached to the burial site, with visitors reportedly experiencing unease near the grave. Reported as tour and anecdotal lore, not verified phenomena.
