Very sad about the story behind this place. I researched it an they made the children sit in their own filth. They never learned to walk due to lack of care.

Could anyone tell me if this place is still standing and not cleaned up? I heard that this is going to be a Halloween attraction, is that true?

This picture is creepy. I don't know what it is about lone chairs, but it freaks me out.

When the institution was shut down in 1986, the building was in a messy condition. Most of the kids that were put in the asylum came out but many died. I would love to do a paranormal investigation there. I'm always looking for creepy places. I like taking EVP'S and photos of the area. It gives me something to be excited about. I'm also writing a book about Pennhurst. It's like a fictitious investigation.

Uh, bethany? The blood spatter may be coming from when the other patients would beat one another up. There may have been some throwing into the wall. I heard on another website that sexual and physical abuse was commonly heard of. It's just my opinion.
