silk, if it was like the place I work now, each building was built in a different year, and many in differing decades. Our buildings were built between 1914 and 1985 or so, and many of the buildings have had additions and renovations made to them over the years. As well, every several years the Life Safety Code changes, so that what is acceptable when renovating a building this year may no longer be allowed next year. So we have a lot of buildings cobbled together with different devices, equipment, and codes.

But that's just a guess about how they did it at Pennhurst. :-)

That used to be my phone at the activities desk in the south lobby. I worked there from 1984 till it closed.

Lynne,
Here's a thought, if safety was the issue, then wouldnt they have put all radiators high up? Since they didn't do that, then I doubt that is the reason, I mean why be safe in one bathroom, and not another? Pennhurst is a puzzle for sure.

I guess only Motts can answer that one then...

Hair-stuffed things feel pretty dense. It's a firm padding.

The only one that is rational explanation is a double exposure.
Otherwise we are looking at true paranormal activity captured on this picture.
