colin, it was also featured on the Travel Channel show, Ghost Adventures & some odd things happened while the crew was there filming.

After seeing what happened to some of the patients & what went on at this place, I'm glad it got shuttered. Such bad treatment to these kids, who just needed some extra care & a little more love.

Jessi H: Dr. Fear died in 2001 at the ripe-old-age of 90. He resigned from Pennhurst in 1968 for -- get this -- injecting a mild tranquilizer into a difficult patient. So when he confessed to what he had done on NBC, the public was so outraged that Pennhurst suspended him and an investigation was pending. He moved to Florida after that. I don't know if he continued to practice medicine afterwards or not.

When was that documentary made? 1961? He wasn't investigated until 1968. At least the public was outraged when they saw that confession, so we know not everyone in t he world condoned those actions, they just did not know they were going on.

My mum has spent most of her life in and out of places like this. In the 80's she had a really bad spell and ran head first through a glass door, she survived but was a real mess, after that they changed ALL doors, she also managed to take down the security door. When shes mentally not well she is one powerfully strong , violent(to self or others) woman, it takes five (big) staff member to hold her down and sedate her. But when she well she is the most softest, gentlest, loving person you could meet.
Its a haunting thing to keep watching someone you love, who gave you life go temporaily insane over and over again....
The illness started as depression than manic depressant, so they gave her ECT a few times, now when shes ill she gets depressed than violent. We try to keep her at home for as long as we can (she hates them places begs not to be sent there) but when we cant cope/handle her anymore we have to send her.
It breaks my heart and soul but i know it has to be done before one of us or herself gets really hurt or worse...
Thankyou for taking the time to read this, dont know why but needed to share. :) x

I can't help thinking the place looks more Enchanted abandoned then it did when is was opened to the public. One can only hope it will always be just this way and not me disturbed by a developer.

Seems what has saved it from complete demolition is that it is sitting down in a gully that would be hard to do anything with accept use as park land or water shed.
