seems to make sence sence the metal does get really hot...besides it looks like there is openings in the wood to vent out some of the heat

yeah i saw that the other night...i just figured it was so stuff didnt scratch up the paint when passing threw like the doors and junk

nah i like keeping my feet on something firm most of the time...besides that kinda looks like its out in the open

i never even knew that was part of pennhurst

there is like 40 buildings...i doubt you've even come close to being in all them...keep exploring and you cant miss the tunnels...some of the lights have been left on for ya

is that the place by the run down school bus?

some of these cribs were also adult size...meaning not just for children

i was actually there on 8/26/06...when that last comment was left...but anyway there are alot of toys and random other objects you would not expect to be left there...now the beer bottles and spray paint thats the stuff that is the most depressing

I used to work there when i was 18 years old. i can tell you this. i was frightened, both for myself and for the residents who lived there. These people were treated horribly by those who were hired to help them. I remember one aide who heated a key on a hotplate and placed it on a resident's back! The screams were horrible. i told another nurse what had happened and i was advised to keep my mouth shut if i wanted to keep my job. i had asked for a transfer to another ward. i got that. I ended up in T2. frightening ward. conditions were horrible. urine and feces on the floor. residents walking about in straight jackets in padded cells. don't turn your back, you could be bitten. Then i went to another ward with the women. they weren't treated very nicely either. Most times they undressed themselves and during their monthly cycles some would throw their soiled napkins. i remember one threw hers at one of the nurses. The nurse slapped her hard across the face and shoved it in her mouth! she was a large rather intimidating black woman . she saw me staring at her and she said what are you looking at? i aint taking this shit from nobody! you got something to say? I was so scared of her. I went to one of the supervisors to report some of the stuff I had seen. I was fired less than 3 days later. Reason? They said i wasn't cooperating as a team member. a lot of the people who resided there should not have been there. when visitors were expoected, everything was different. residents were dressed, straight jackets removed, place was cleaned, smells removed. i hated working there!

THAT PLACE IS MAD CREEPY I WAS REALLY SCARED

maybe the black sheep are lepricons and are looking for gold on the other side of the rainbow.after all that would make some sense.is the saying true?i have no idea.but it's a pritty good gues.

i was always curious about pennhurst and wanted to visit becuase i heard it was haunted... is that true?

"Unless your uncle is this wheelchair, no one is talking about him. "

That made me laugh.

This architecture reminds me a lot of Northampton State.

You are indeed a brave soul to embark down those darkended coradors
