what did ed gein do to adeline in real life

Ed Gein did not do anything to Adeline Watkins in real life. Adeline Watkins was a woman who claimed to have had a romantic relationship with Ed Gein, the infamous serial killer, for about 20 years. She described Gein as "good and kind and sweet" and talked about their relationship in a 1957 interview, saying they dated, went to movies and taverns, and discussed murders together. Gein even proposed to her in 1955, but she declined. However, a few weeks after the interview, Watkins retracted many of her statements, saying their relationship was exaggerated and only lasted about seven months with casual dates. There is no evidence that Ed Gein did anything harmful to Adeline Watkins herself.
