Ok I guess if I did look around a little bit I COULD find something else to explore, but like a lot of ppl on this site I want to see old hospitals, asylums, worlds I am very unfamiliar with.<stamps foot and whines> :) I did go to Guthrie (former comment) about 2 weeks ago, and was able to get in only b/c they were having a wedding in the once abandoned, now beautifully restored orphanage. ( I pretended to be apart of the wedding planners and snuck off, but was unable to get many pics b/c most of the doors were locked. ;) Visiting the old abandoned hospital down the street however is the perfect ticket to jail, for the Oklahoma PRI group has live camera feeds in the place which police frequently check for trespassers. I didn't know this at the time so thank goodness our "tour guide" forgot how to get to the old hospital. =-o Anyway, there are other blds I am looking at going to that seem very interesting, can't wait!! Oh yeah, if anyone wants to see the pics of the orphanage, email me: lil_T_376@hotmail.com

did you find that there or did you put it there? "

I love how this question never gets answered.. :)

Lindsey,

You're right. (the movie thing)

i live next to the bike trail thats behind it so im gonna bike over with my friend whos gone through it already

Is this in the clock tower???? I really need to know Mr. Motts!!!!!

lil t,
Not true, there are tons of old Missile Silo's all around Oklahoma.. those are pretty cool to go check out. Used to have one on some land we rented a long time ago for the barns to keep hay in. Just north of Willow... last I knew, the doors were still open from when we opened them.. took 5 cranes to open one door.

Interesting and sad stories to say the least. Not surprising really. I do hope the patients that were not as serious as some did resume there lives and do well (get better that is). Than there are some that cannot be help....sad but true.

Thanks for the story Jess....I can see how that would be hard for your mom to not be able to speak to them. Horrifiying too. You want to help people but than don't know how really. Also , Nicole, I'm so sorry for your horrible experience. I do hope life has gotten much better for you since than. Unless you've been there none of us can ever understand the horror of it all. I'm sure some people were help here and other asylums too but many were not. Just left abandoned to figure it all out for themselves. Its almost inhuman to think. My heart goes out to you all really.....

Why would you put a plant up so high like that? It doesn't make much sense really. Strange if you ask me. Another interesting photo Motts....

Thanks, Deb! :)

I don't much care for the ward idea either. I think I'd rather be with one person than with 10 or 20 people packed in one room. The no privacy thing would kinda get to me. Yeah I have to say the peeling paint is kinda a hazard really. I do hope your careful Motts. Interesting photo....

Theodore Roosevelt meets John Lennon

Nice work!

It sounds to me like there's alot of guessing and surmizing as to the who, what and where's of Pennhurst. Does anyone have solid information o this place, as I'd like to visit there and not have to worry aboout getting arrested?

Waiting for someone to sit by the crypt of a departed one......

Great creepy pic!
