BTW. Those things get pulled out of the plastic packaging. if you go into I think it's either Union, Vinc or Tinicum you'll find a bunch of them just sitting on the floor in plastic wrappers. I found more of those red&white uniforms in a closet. I wanted one but they were all to dirty.
That isn't a candy striper outfit...it's a uniform. They have different uniforms in every building they all seem to be the same though. Short sleeve dress with a colar. Red&White, Plain blue, Navy with white pinstripes. Those are the uniforms I've seen so far.
I've been up to Pennhurst in the past month twice and I didn't see anyone. We heard dogs at one point and police sirens another time and it scared us to death but other than that I haven't heard or seen a thing of security. Just a no tresspassing sign.
My grandmother is like a case worker and she worked with two retarded older women. One black and one white. They both went to pennhurst as children. The white woman had not scars or any sign of abuse. The black woman had scars all over her back and she was raped. My grandmother also visited pennhurst in 1977. She doesn't like to talk about it but she told me what her teacher told her "This is what they're letting you see...now imagine what they aren't."
Twug I must agree. I've visited pennhurst twice now and have only gone into one attic and that's in I think Vinc or Union the one with the halloween costumes. Does anyone have a photo of the attic stairs with a boarded over top and then there is like a square hole at the top to go into the attic. I saw it on my first visit and I refused to go up there.
mikeymisery....there aren't that many buildings anymore past brown drive shit is still active. The main cluster (Admin, Whitman, Tinicum, Rockwell, Dietary, Devon etc) is basically what you can explore. I went up there just this Friday. It's incoated in fucking weeds. The admin building is terrifying. We walked the wrong way while trying to leave and ended up infront of that....scariest thing ever.
Phantom you have both good points and bad points. I love seeing tags through out the buildings because you get to see who has been where. I saw that you were apparently at that abandoned highway...or maybe you are the only one with the tag Phantom. Well you scared the hell out of me when i saw what you wrote. "Do not meddle with the phantom for you are crunchy and taste good with catsup" You scared the hell out of me with that, i thought that you might actually still be in there.
Just remember taking things leaves nothing for the next urban explorer looking for history and a beautiful photo.
