Just finished watching Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel where they visited Pennhurst. I grew up not far from PH and often heard many horrible stories about it. I moved out of the area in 1990 and can't believe how the state or individuals have let such a large and historic institution deteriorate. After seeing Ghost Adventures not sure if I'd want to visit there-can't believe they'd make into such an attraction as 'PH Institute of Fear'-do they not have any respect for those poor individuals who suffered while there? C'mon people, get real and think of something respectable to do with this place instead of just trying to make a quick buck!

Well, the place had been closed for 18 years, exposed to extreme cold, heat, moisture, etc., so it didn't look this bad when it was in use. :-)

Oh my. The conditions of this house. It's just so sad that they treated these people like this. They deserved better. Many were just stuck in their beds unable to walk. If the children bit someone more then three times they had all of their teeth pulled. It's truly sad and makes me want to cry. It's frightening what they did here. I am glad we are much more civilized today to know better...
