I remember these wall paintings. They didn't cheer me up at all.

I was here in the 90's. This room was unpleasant. Some of the treatments they used were horrific. Inside those rooms, some had beds with mechanical restraints as well as leather straps that bounded pir arms and legs together that we would have to walk around in if we misbehaved.......like I said. The stories I could tell.

I was there in 1994. I was on the floor with a young man named Eric. He was very caring. I can see his face in my mind. A lot of the pictures I remember so well. The therapy they used at times was completely in humane. They observation mirror in one of the previous pictures was for those on suicide watch. We had a lot of those rooms. The handprints were supposed to make us feel like we belonged and were part of a group of kids that had the same emotion issues as we did. The stories I could tell you of this place would blow your mind.

Sad part is, I remember those rooms so well. I once was a patient in this horrible place. The memories.....oh the memories.

I am looking for more information on this place. Supposidly my grandmother was a patient here but we are not certain. I am trying to find out if she was for sure a patient. this would have been back in the early 80's, does anyone has any idea how i can find this out, patient records, etc.

I just want to know if anyone knows why Letchworth was abandoned. Since patients files, chairs, etc. are still there it seems that one day everyone was there & the next day everyone disappeared.

#1!! Love the site and this pic!!

yo how did u get all the pics u got?

I went to the BSS grounds today just to walk around and explore a little..... did not realize how many buildings were actually here! A lot of feelings ran through me, but I was not creeped out in the least.. I found myself wondering what really went on here, and why. I wanted to chance going in some of the buildings, but decided that it was probably not a good idea..... so I observed from the outside instead.. I plan on making a couple more trips to the grounds, as I feel ther is still much more to see!

I remember going into one of the buildings a long time ago with my sister, as we both love exploring abandoned structures... no longer standing I presume?

i currently work with several clients that were paitents at pennhurst and its heart breaking they are still tramtized by the bad things that happened to them. One of them still thinks he is the same age as wen he went there.

I LOVE this picture, i watched most haunted, and i find it sad, and very devistating that they are going to just pull down all that history for some houses!

I hope they change there mind an re-store it again!!!

I live about 20 min south of the city and i love going there just to take pictures and whatnot. A lot of the times i get pictures with orbs in them.

You can take a chance and sneak in if you want but i have to warn anyone who even thinks of doing that to be careful. Cops make a routine walk around the building quite frequently and a new security system was just installed last spring. anyone who gets caught, the charges are intense. If you feel like taking the chance, its all on you.

DOES THIS PKLACE STILL STAND ? I AM FROM BALTO. AND WOULD LOVE TO VISIT.PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

It's such a shame that this beautiful place was abandoned.
