i live right down the street from pennhurst and its awesome

I have dubious feelings about your straitjacket discovery...

Yes the local PD and OMH patrol the campus regularly.

It just reads, "Clinic". Perhaps it was a parking area for an ambulance...

I think there was a name on it, it's difficult to remember.

I really don't remember what was on them.

Not that I have seen, nor have I heard from any other explorers that there is/was a padded room on campus. I heard there was one featured on the VH-1 show... I would bet money it was placed there by the film crew.

The next two photos are from the same room; yes it looked like a seclusion room of sorts.

Not an awful question, it's a natural part of the decomposing process.

No, there wasn't any odor or hint of rotting flesh - these people have been dead a long, long time. The place just smelled very musty, with a hint of that damp, rotting wood smell that I've become very familiar with.

This boat is PC-1264, a WW2 submarine chaser. Creepy but sad to see an old vet go out like this.

Self control?

Truly, m'dear. I was so afraid I was going to say something obnoxious that I would later regret (as hang-danged funny as I thought it would be) that I actually had to chew the entire thing down to a nub just to stop myself. :-)

Lynne, no WAY a comment had the same effect on you?!

I myself bit off my own tongue once to keep myself from responding to a bizarre comment I read somewhere. Sadly, though, I am still alive.

Does anyone know anything about a patient there who was supposedly posessed by a ghost and killed her brother with a bedsheet? Then bit off her own tongue to bleed to death? Any other ghost stories there? Motts ever hear anything spooky there?
