Can someone post an address, nearby address, or directions to this place or something. My friend would go wild if i gave him a location like this for his photography.

i ran into phantom once while i was there. (or at least some old guy claiming to be Phantom. Honestly, that guy was crazy. Myself and like six others were walking through a tunnel and I had two other friends looking out for people and he started creeping out of the bushes real slow in full camo and night vision goggles. We freaked out but one of my friends started talking to him and he ended up giving us a tour of the place and took us to places like the theatre and the morgue and a lot of the rooms in the main buildings but it started raining and we were by the area he referred to as the 'rape shack' and we were near our car but he tried to split our group up saying that "i know a quicker way, come through this tunnel" but I made sure everyone stayed with me and we got back to the car real fast. He had a walky-talky and was talking to people on his radio that he claimed were his friends and family but it sounded like he was just overhearing static filled conversations. He also pointed at a lot of the graf on the walls and claimed some of the tags to be his friends and family (saying it was his wife and kids doing the tags). He told us a story about a kid that would reach up his anus and rip out his colon and the doctors would have to restitch him but he died within a week. He claimed to have this knowledge due to how he was the first person to get the records out of the filing cabinets. I start to wonder whether he was actually committed to Pennhurst. He kept talking about "back in the day" too and said he would go to Byberry with his friends and roll a queer (meaning" to beat up a gay guy".. i think). He also kept asking one of the girls with us if she had a grandmother as pretty as her, haha. It was a long eventful day and I heard later from a friend that Phantom was arrested for graf and for pushing a filing cabinet off of the roof and onto a police van while being chased. Phantom told us he did this and got away with it which was funny when i found out he got caught weeks later. Anyone else ever meet this creepy old guy who calls himself Phantom?
