1
Edmund Kemper.
2
His mother told him no woman would ever love him, so he found a way to make sure they'd never leave.
3
Edmund Kemper was just 8 years old when his mother started locking him in the basement every night.
4
She said it was to protect his sisters from him.
5
She called him a real weirdo, loud enough for him to hear through the walls.
6
She told him he reminded her of his father, and that was never a compliment.
7
By 10, Kemper had buried the family cat alive, then dug it up, then cut off its head and mounted it on a stick.
8
At 14, he ran away to find his father.
9
But his father had remarried and didn't want him.
10
They shipped him off to live with his grandparents on a remote California ranch.
11
His grandmother treated him the same way his mother had, constant criticism and constant control.
12
On August 27, 1964, 15-year-old Edmund Kemper shot his grandmother in the head with a rifle.
13
When his grandfather came home, he shot him too.
14
When police asked why, Kemper said he wanted to see what it felt like to kill grandma
15
and he killed grandpa so he wouldn't have to find out.
16
Kemper spent five years in a psychiatric hospital.
17
Doctors said he was rehabilitated.
18
They released him into his mother's care.
19
The argument started immediately.
20
Screaming matches so loud the neighbors called police.
21
His mother told him he was worthless, that college girls would never look at him twice, that he disgusted her.
22
Between 1972 and 1973, Kemper picked up six young female hitchhikers.
23
He killed them all.
24
But these weren't random victims.
25
They were college students, the same women his mother worked with at UC Santa Cruz, the same women she said would never want him.
26
After killing one victim, Kemper buried her head in his mother's garden, facing her bedroom window.
27
She always wanted people to look up to her, he said.
28
On April 20, 1973, Kemper finally did what he'd been building toward his whole life.
29
He killed his mother with a hammer while she was sleeping.
30
He decapitated her and used her head as a dartboard.
31
Then he called the police and turned himself in.
32
The killings were over.
33
He'd destroyed the thing that created him.
34
Jeffrey Dahmer.
35
When Jeffrey Dahmer was 18, both his parents left.
36
His father moved out.
37
His mother took his younger brother and left.
38
No forwarding address, no phone calls.
39
Jeffrey was alone in an empty house.
40
He would later say that was the moment everything fell apart.
41
Dahmer's childhood looked normal from the outside.
42
Suburban Ohio.
43
Two-parent household.
44
A little brother named David.
45
But inside, the family was fracturing.
46
His mother suffered from depression and anxiety, swallowing pills by the handful.
47
His father buried himself in work, chasing a PhD in chemistry while his marriage collapsed.
48
The two fought constantly, screaming matches that echoed through the walls.
49
No one noticed their older son slipping away.
50
By age 10, Jeffrey had started collecting roadkill.
51
He'd strip the flesh from dead animals and keep the bones.
52
His father thought it was scientific curiosity.
53
He even taught Jeffrey how to bleach and preserve the skeletons.
54
He never asked why his son spent hours alone in a backyard hut, surrounded by jars of formaldehyde and tiny skulls.
55
By 14, Jeffrey was drinking whiskey before school.
56
Teachers noticed, his grades dropped, but no one intervened.
57
By the time his parents divorced, Jeffrey had already learned the lesson that would define his life.
58
People leave, everyone leaves, and there's nothing you can do to make them stay, unless you make sure they can't.
59
Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer killed 17 young men.
60
He drugged them, strangled them, and kept their bodies for as long as he could.
61
He posed them, photographed them, slept beside them.
62
He later told investigators he wasn't trying to hurt anyone.
63
He just didn't want to be alone.
64
The only way I could keep them with me, he said, was if they couldn't leave.
65
Dahmer was beaten to death in prison in 1994.
66
He was 34 years old.
67
His parents had spent years fighting over who was responsible for what their son became.
68
In the end, they both abandoned him, and he never stopped trying to fill that emptiness.
69
John Wayne Gacy.
70
His father called him stupid, called him a sissy, called him a failure.
71
John Wayne Gacy spent his entire childhood trying to earn approval that never came.
72
His father was an alcoholic machinist who beat the family regularly.
73
At four years old, John was whipped for accidentally moving parts in his father's car engine.
74
At nine, a family friend began abusing him.
75
John never told anyone, terrified his father would blame him.
76
The message was clear.
77
Everything wrong was John's fault.
78
He tried everything.
79
Worked hard in school, joined community organizations, built a successful business, hosted neighborhood parties, even dressed as Pogo the Clown to entertain children at hospitals.
80
But nothing worked.
81
His father kept calling him worthless.
82
Then, in 1966, something changed.
83
Gacy had married, had children, was managing restaurants in Iowa.
84
His parents came to visit, and for the first time in his life, his father shook his hand and said, Son, I was wrong about you.
85
Three years later, his father was dead.
86
When Gacy heard the news in prison, where he was serving time for sexually assaulting a teenage employee, he collapsed to the floor.
87
His request to attend the funeral was even denied.
88
Between 1972 and 1978, John Wayne Gacy murdered at least 33 young men.
89
He lured them to his home with promises of construction jobs, handcuffed them with a magic trick, assaulted and tortured them for hours,
90
strangled them slowly with a rope tourniquet he called the rope trick.
91
Then he buried them in the crawl space beneath his house.
92
Twenty-six bodies were stacked in trenches he dug himself.
93
When police finally searched his property, the stench of decay had been seeping through heating vents for years.
94
Gacy showed no remorse.
95
At trial, he joked about his victims.
96
He blamed an alter ego named Jack, said the dead were just male prostitutes and liars.
97
He was executed in 1994.
98
His father never lived to see what his son became.
99
But every victim buried under that house was someone's child too, killed by a man still trying to prove he wasn't worthless.
100
Albert Fish.
101
His mother couldn't afford him, so she gave him away.
102
Albert Fish was five years old when his father died of a heart attack.
103
His mother, unable to support her children alone, made a decision that would echo through history.
104
She placed young Albert in St. John's Orphanage in Washington, D.C.
105
She thought she was saving him.
106
Instead, she was creating a monster.
107
The orphanage was a house of horrors.
108
Teachers beat the children constantly, whipped them until they bled, and forced the others to watch.
109
It was meant as discipline.
110
For Albert, it became something else entirely.
111
He discovered he liked it.
112
The beatings triggered excitement.
113
Watching other boys suffer excited him.
114
Pain and pleasure fused together in his developing mind, wiring connections that should never have existed.
115
By the time his mother finally retrieved him five years later, the damage was permanent.
116
Fish spent the rest of his life chasing that feeling.
117
As an adult, he embedded needles into his own groin.
118
29 were found lodged in his pelvis when doctors finally x-rayed him.
119
He beat himself with a nail-studded paddle.
120
He soaked cotton in lighter fluid, inserted it into his body, and set it on fire.
121
But his own pain wasn't enough.
122
He needed to hear children scream.
123
Between 1924 and 1928, Fish murdered at least three children.
124
He strangled them, dismembered them, cooked them.
125
He even sent a letter to one victim's mother describing how he ate her 10-year-old daughter over nine days.
126
Every detail, every recipe.
127
Psychiatrists identified 18 different sexual abnormalities in him, more than any case in medical history.
128
Fish claimed God commanded him to sacrifice children, like Abraham with Isaac.
129
The jury found him insane, but they executed him anyway.
130
In 1936, Fish walked to the electric chair and reportedly helped position the electrodes himself.
131
His last written statement was so depraved, his own lawyer refused to release it, calling it the most filthy string of obscenities I have ever read.
132
The child his mother abandoned to save money had grown into America's most disturbing killer, Henry Lee Lucas.
133
His mother dressed him as a girl.
134
Then she sold him.
135
Henry Lee Lucas was born in 1936 in a one-room dirt floor cabin in Virginia.
136
His mother, Viola, sold herself to strangers and made her son witness things no child should ever see.
137
If he looked away, she beat him.
138
If he cried, she beat him harder.
139
But the watching wasn't the worst part.
140
Viola dressed young Henry in girls' clothes, with dresses and long hair.
141
She paraded him through town like that for years. But why?
142
Because in this way, she could sell him to her clients. To men. To women.
143
To anyone willing to pay.
144
His father was a legless alcoholic who sold pencils on the street.
145
He couldn't protect Henry.
146
He couldn't even protect himself.
147
One night, trying to escape the horror inside that cabin, he crawled outside drunk and froze to death in the snow.
148
Henry was beaten constantly.
149
When he was seven, his mother smashed a wooden plank across his skull.
150
He spent days unconscious.
151
When he was 10, his brother slashed his face with a knife.
152
The wound got infected.
153
His mother ignored it until a teacher accidentally struck the damaged eye.
154
It burst and had to be surgically removed.
155
Henry learned that he was worthless, something to be used, sold, and discarded.
156
In 1960, during a Christmas visit, his mother demanded he move back home to care for her.
157
They argued.
158
She hit him with a broom, and he stabbed her in the neck.
159
She died instantly on the floor.
160
Lucas was convicted of her murder and spent years in prison.
161
When authorities released him early due to overcrowding, he warned them, I'm not ready to go.
162
They released him anyway.
163
That same day, Lucas killed a woman within walking distance of the prison gates, his gift to the people who set him free.
164
He was eventually convicted of 11 murders.
165
He confessed to hundreds more, though many were later proven false.
166
The truth of his body count may never be known, but one truth is certain.
167
Long before Henry Lee Lucas killed anyone, his mother had already murdered the child he might have been.

Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

| Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас | have existed · have ever read |
Произношение, на которое стоит обратить внимание
Говорящий использует 18 сокращённых и редуцированных форм, например couldn't, wasn't, he'd. Произносите их коротко, так, как слышите.
- Звуки «th»: worthless /ˈwɜːθ.ləs/, grandmother /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌmʌðɚ/, filthy /ˈfɪlθi/

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
