  2. Basic information • Born may 19, 1870 • Died January 16, 1936 by electrocution • Was an American Serial Killer who claimed to have taken at least one victim from each state. • In total, he claimed to have anywhere from 15 to 500 victims of either rape, murder, or cannibalization, or any combination of the above. • Was known as • Gray Man • Werewolf of Wysteria • Brooklyn Vampire • Moon Manic • The Boogey Man

  3. First Incarceration • 1898 – He worked as a housepainter, but claimed he was still molesting young boys, mostly those under the age of six. • Became fascinated with castration, and once attempted to perform it on a mentally retarded boyfriend he had. • The man’s screams scared Fish off. Possibly saving his life. • After that incident, Fish began to frequent brothels more often, and was eventually arrested for embezzlement and sentenced to Incarceration in Sing Sing. • It was after this that he began to have auditory hallucinations, believing he was hearing the voices of the apostles, and also began to insert massive needles into his groin for self pleasure, as well as spanking himself with a nailed paddle.

  4. Second Incarceration • He was arrested in May of 1930 for sending an obscure letter to a woman who had placed out an add looking for a maid. • He was sent to Bellevue Psychiatric hospital in 1930-1931 for observation following his arrest.
