Is pennhurst haunted???

yeah, my mother used to work there. the experiments that they would do were called "labodmies" [hope i spelled that right]. the doctors would cut off the top of the head and take out certian parts of the brain to see if cured the person, if not just to see what happened. the patients were often starved and beaten as well. my mother worked in "x" building and she told me they would keep the patients in cages.

Nice Overexposure on the lights coming through the door..... im gonna have to try that sometime.... im planning a trip back there soon

Beautiful shot. I just love Autumn.

Very pretty window...great shot!

wow... absolutely striking.

what a great looking place. could be a few spirits handing out there .that just makes it more of a
temptation. It is a one of a kind.

That's cool, in a very cute way.

I am so beside myself with fear that I'm having trouble typing this comment.

Oh Mr. "Fist," you big goose! You've just gone and scared us all to pieces with that story - I swear, we are shivering in our boots from fright! We certainly WON'T go down into those tunnels now that you have told us that darned scary story, will we, gang?

Now that you have given your name, publicly acknowledged that you took something from the building, gave out to the public the name of someone who received services at this place and whose family may not be anxious for her to be identified to the world, and noted that you are planning to return there this very weekend, would you say that this increases or decreases your chances of getting caught and charged with something?

I worked in Salmon Bldg in the late 1960's and at the Hospital until it closed. The tunnels under this bldg. are haunted by some of the states most violent ghosts of former patients. Here we had murderers, rapists,child molesters and arsonists. Alot of them were chained in the tunnels, thats right, I said chained. burned with cigarettes and beat up by us the aides. They were expeimented on by doctors and alot of them died in failed experiments. Their ghosts have wandered the tunnels for years. What they want is...revenge. Just a warning to any of you that think its cool to go down there after dark. No one will hear you scream. Do you think that everyone that has ever gone down there has left? Think again. I worked there 30 years and I would never go in the tunnels under Salmon. Their waiting, time doesn't matter to them. All that matters is to make the living suffer. They will do to you what was done to them in life. So Beware down in those tunnels, because, I promise, you are not alone!

I've been here many-a-times. Its still there. They tried to re do it a while back, but it was just a lost cause. I've been banned from Hanson because some asshole of a neighbor( they live all around it) was walking his damn dog and saw me and my friends on the front balcony, he calle dthe cops, and we almost got charged with everything that was destroyed. He let us go, but i havne't been back in a bout a month. But litle do they know.... I'm going back up this weekend. I took some files from the place, some girl named christine renoylds. It has an address and everything, one of these days i want to go to that address and find out the history of the poor girl.

Complete with overturned chair even.

this is a really weired pic. I don't know what i would do if i saw this somewhere.
