This is a case about the devilish aspect of humanity. A man named Albert Fish became one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. This story began in the early 20th century, in a small apartment in New York, USA. At midnight, this man was doing what he loved to do, and that thing was terrifying - he was preparing his own "dinner"....
Albert Fish was born in 1870. When he was still a child, he experienced countless forms of abuse and cruelty. He spent his childhood in an orphanage and was subjected to countless physical and sexual abuses there. Over time, he gradually became more twisted and crazy, longing to solve his inner pain by any means. Throughout the 20th century, Fish roamed around the United States, seeking out his victims. Over the course of several decades, he kidnapped many children, and the experiences of these children were unimaginable. In his apartment, Fish often tortured, abused, and killed these innocent children using tools such as hammers, saws, and knives. He would open the children's bodies and remove their internal organs, cook their flesh, and eat it. Sometimes, he would cut the children's bodies into small pieces and hide them in his refrigerator as daily "food". However, Fish did not stop there. He not only killed children but also abused adults and animals. He often wrote letters to people, describing his crimes and the cruel acts towards the victims. These letters were called "Devil's Letters". He called himself "The Human Butcher" and "The Messenger of God", believing that he had the right to punish humanity and hoping that he could be arrested and executed to satisfy his twisted desires.
Ultimately, in 1934, Fish kidnapped a 10-year-old girl named Grace Budde and killed her. He once wrote a letter to the family of Grace, detailing how he took Grace away and providing some terrifying details. This letter was eventually found by the police and, through the analysis of fingerprints on stamps and envelopes, Fish was identified as the suspect. When the police arrested Fish, he was staying in a hotel. In his room, the police found many pieces of evidence, including human bones, hair, nails, children's toys, and a cutter. During the trial, Fish claimed to be mentally unstable, but this did not save his life. On January 16, 1936, he was found guilty and sentenced to death.
When Fish embarked on his journey to death, he appeared very calm and even seemed happy. In his cell, he wrote a will of his own, which included an explanation for his actions and a prayer for God's forgiveness. Finally, on January 16, 1936, Fish was brought to the electric chair. At that moment, he remained very calm and composed until the chair began to make noises, and then he began to scream in pain. The case of Albert Fish shocked the entire country and became one of the most heinous crimes in American history. His actions were outrageous and beyond imagination, which also made people start to reflect on how to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
The impact of the Albert Fish case extended beyond the social sphere and had a profound influence on the fields of psychology and criminology. Fish's actions were regarded as a form of sexual perversion, involving sexual abuse and child molestation, and this behavior was later termed "Fish Syndrome". Another effect of the Fish case was that it drew attention to the safety of children, leading the US Congress to pass a bill named "Lindbergh Act" in 1932, prohibiting the interstate sale of pornographic materials featuring minors.
Although Albert Fish was legally punished, his crimes still deeply wounded people's hearts. His actions were extremely cruel and heartless, and could even be regarded as one of the most evil crimes in human history. Such cases also make us realize that human evil is not merely moral corruption or mental disorder, but rather a deep-seated distortion of human nature.
Scary!
