One of the highlights of the Ghost Adventues tour of Pennhurst on the Travel Channel 1/2/10 was when the director of security related the story about he and his son standing in front of one of the bldgs and they saw someone pull back the draptes and stare down at them.
The GA team went with the security chief into the bldg and to that room on the 4th floor----ALL of the windows are 'covered' with a protective screen that is screwed in place......NO ONE has access to the cloth drapes. The security chief radioed his son to meet them in the room. He looked to be about 23 yrs old---not a kid. He recalled the incident...........then, they showed him the secured windows. He was totally taken aback.........I think it was Zak who said aside to the camera----'it's always neat to watch skeptics when they realize that they HAD seen a 'ghost'..........

Another frightening thought is that there are other facilities like this still functional .......There was a report a few weeks ago about the massive TB Hospital in N.Carolina that is as deteriated as Pennhurst.
They claim that close to 63,000 people died there. TB patients were treated like 'lepers'..........sent there to die---no hope for getting cured...there WASN'T a cure.................

BH I saw it also.............all I could think of was the 'asylums' set up by the Nazis in Germany. They 'experimented' on some of the 'undesireeables' before finally taking them to the 'ovens'......they were 'unworthy' of being in the Superior Aryan Society.
What really stunned me was that this place functioned until the late 1960's/early 70's and NO ONE on the staffs reported it......none of the doctors, nurses, maintenance or caretakers........no one spoke up.

On 1/2/10 the Travel Channel showed a series on this place called Ghost Adventures. Catch the re-run if you get the chance. This facility looks like a college campus---huge. And all the bldgs are connected by underground tunnels. The GH team interviewed several doctors who were in their early 20's when they tended patients there and they told horror stories that Stephen King couldn't come up with.....for instance: if a patient had more than 3 incidents of biting staff members they'd get all their teeth pulled. And he clamied there were some 'retarded' kids there as infants that hadn't been taught how to walk by age 5 or 6. He also remembered 'criminals' sentenced to the facility who took sexual advantage of those unable to fend for themselves. All I could think of was the facilities Hitler set up in Nazi Germany to 'rid society' of 'undesirables' who were subjects of all kinds of experiments before being sent to 'the ovens'..........

I have been there nice place

lovely but creepy, silence that kills me, but this stairway is just beautiful, to wander down the stairs.

: i love the pictures..
