Pennhurst Forums

Well i have an update on Pennhurst if you want to look around you might want to do it fast. As everyone knows the National Guard is gone but the admin bldg is ready to be a haunted house and Quaker Hall has been cleared. all the other bldgs haven't been touched yet. at night there is alot of security and very little during the day, but they are working to refurbish all the buildings to turn them into a memorial. But you will be able to spend the night and investigate but it will cost you i don't know how much but it will. I got all my info from 2 reliable sources so i know what i have said is true. Some of the info is from the new owners family.

Quaker isn't the only building thats being cleared.

the national guard was scared of the haunted house so they just packed up and left.

I know now they are doing all the buildings at once it looks like. I just drove down over the past weekend. I only live 15 min from there, the funny thing is not even security cares you are there as long as you don't get in the construction crews way.

Uhmm, I Don't Think So.

agreed.

i know if you get caught there, fines are very hefty now.

This is the link to the Pennhurst haunted house that will open in September. It describes in detail how they are using actual items from Pennhurst when it was open as props. This includes items from the morgue, the infamous "dentist's chair" and the shock therapy machine.

In addition, they are also opening the tunnel for the haunted house that people will be able to walk through.

The National Guard is gone? Did they take all the shit they left in the upper campus? There's stuff there that should NEVER fall into the hands of anyone but the military personnel who put it there in the first place. That's some serious shit.

Said dentist chair is still sitting where it has forever, there was never electroshock done at Pennhurst. The National Guard never gave a crap about lower campus ,and they were never set up down there. Your facts are very wrong.

Joker read the link where it says what they are using. But here is one surprise I am getting my info because I am gonna be there working. As for the dentist chair you might want to read the link because it says all the stuff they are refurbishing including an electro shock machine which WAS repeat WAS USED when Pennhurst was open. if you say they didn't read the link and watch Ghost adventures and the interview Bill Baldini did both mention this machine you said was never used. I'm not some stupid kid i am older than you i would imagine and i have done my research before I posted. What they did at Pennhurst when it was open turns my stomach. I have a son who is 6 yrs old and has down syndrome and i couldn't imagine dumping a kid no matter how sick or retarded in a place like that.

Don't believe everything you read from someone trying to hype up a haunted house, and from a ghost show that didn't give an accurate history, I do think Ghost Adventures did a much better job then the other ghost show with the history. Its still just a TV show. (not even one that has any historical credit). Pennhurst was a State School for the mentally disabled, It wasn't a state mental hospital. ECT "could" have been performed on some of the residents, but would have been done at a state hospital. It was NOT done on the Pennhurst property. In Bills report not one word is said about ECT, so I don't know where you got that from. I have been over every inch of the place and there was other medical equipment but no electroshock machine. The Dentist chair isn't even on campus so they may have one but not the real one. You are getting your info from people who's only goal is entertainment they can feed you as much bull shit about the place they want. I'm getting mine from talking to people who worked there for many years, and personal experience of exploring the place for years. Doesn't it bother you that you have a son with a mental disability yet you plan to work at a place that is basically exploiting the plight of the disabled?

i have my reasons for working there. But the people i have talked to has no reason to make up stories to me because i am a nobody to them. and am a little older than you know. I have a daughter your age probably and a son. my daughter is 23 and my oldest son is 21

i will gladely talk to you anytime my e-mail address is canes1331@aol.com i would give you my number but not in here .
