My dad's father used to work in the boiler room at the other hospital down the street, because of his job my dad lived in a farm house between the Met State and the other hospital. My dad grew up around the Met State and has told me numerous stories about how people would sit on the balconies screaming for help, though since they were considered "Crazy", no one would investigate. I know a lot about the tunnels that ran between both hospitals and I've heard their still in existence today. I'm only in my teens, so i have never been in the run down Met State, but many of my friends live in the now finished Avalon Apartments that are made from the original buildings of the Met State. A lot of weird unexplained things have happened when I stay over my friends, I wouldn't recommend going there.
Your work is amazing. How would I purchase any pictures from you?
I am interested in the folllowing:
Hull
Wide
Monument
Graveyard
While I am not a photographer I do appreciate the medium. We must be kindred spirits in that I also love old ships, abandoned assylums and old industrial structures and architecture. Please let me know.
its scary yet interesting to learn the past of this place but i think its sad that they are going to turn it into a place so people could be entertained by the horrifing looks of it i bet there are still spirits of those patients that were torchered there and just want to rest in peace i dont think they want to be disturbed by all the comotion and photo taking there will be once people enter what will be soon called pennhurst institution of fear
