Isolation

Orchid Lunar

I knew there was always a reason that I never liked the color yellow.That is a hideous shade of yellow at that.

Stains

Orchid Lunar

I just know I wouldn't want to spend alot of time in this room.

Storage Room

Basically younger people do stupid things without thinking of the consequences.Lighting fires in places you shouldn't light fires are among those stupid things.I guess thats why they always have firemen talk to elementary school classes about fire safety,unfortunately I don't think those fire safety lessons stick when they become destructive and unruly teens.

Ward View

Orchid Lunar

I see what looks like the outline of a person and the face.I think in this case it is probably just an illusion,created by what I have no clue.However ghosts are not always transparent,infact you could meet one and not even know it was a ghost and not a living person.

Typewriter Room

Orchid Lunar

I don't think Moe was being disrespectful at all,I thought his comment was sort of funny.I mean it would be different if he was mocking the patients of this place but these are just typewriters,nothing more.

Pit Of Oblivion

Orchid Lunar

Blacksheep Marcia can defend this place all she wants but a person doesn't have to have been there to see the wretched conditions in this place.I've seen photos used in the trial on a big site devoted just to Pennhurst and photos do not lie.I am not condemning all the staff that worked at Pennhurst,I am sure some were good people that genuinely cared for the welfare of the patients but I have no doubt that some were brutal sadists.I read an account written by a patient who stayed in Pennhurst for years about the horrors of that place.Why would this person make something like that up?

Candy Cane Dungeon

Orchid Lunar

I can just imagine the children at "play"here.Sitting against the wall catatonic and rocking back and forth or playing with the roaches that scampered about this place because they knew no better.

Beds

Orchid Lunar

Well I don't see that exactly but they are still creepy thinking of what they were used for.

Crib

Orchid Lunar

I can't imagine any parent putting their child in a place like this no matter what mental disabillities or handicaps they have.I mean if I were like that I would rather be simply put out of my misery than have to live in a place like that!

Shirt

Orchid Lunar

Reminds me of that old ghost story about the gown that would kill anyone who put it on.I don't remember all the details but this picture makes me think of it.

Trails

Orchid Lunar

I wonder what year those bikes are from?Looks like something from the sixties or seventies to me.

Cell

Orchid Lunar

Is this to another seclusion room or something entirely different?

Red and Green Stairs

Orchid Lunar

It seems like they almost beckon people to climb them even though the space beyond looks like something your nightmares would reside in.

Seclusion Room Door

Orchid Lunar

Another very creepy door.If they had a contest for place with most creepy doors and windows this one would get it hands down.

Passing Storm

Orchid Lunar

I like the power lines.The veins of modern society flowing past something decayed,old,and frightening.Great contrast.

Crib With Sheet

Orchid Lunar

Seeing these adult cribs and thinking of people strapped in them for weeks and ever months possibly is disturbing enough but that sheet just adds to this.

Tree in a Cage

Orchid Lunar

Madman is right.I've seen cages like this put around tree sapplings as so no one will disturb them or damage them,I have an old one laying around in my shed actually.Not quite as big as that one and more modern and painted in sort of a cheery grass green but the same principal.

Piano

Orchid Lunar

Now what would really be eerie is if you were in there and that piano started playing on it's own.

More Tunnels

Orchid Lunar

Now that tunnel is kind of creepy.I can imagine someone or something chasing me down it.

Chair

Orchid Lunar

Probably one of these moron,eminem wannabe kids you see all over nowadays that tagged it.

Dormitory

Orchid Lunar

Now like many of the parts of this building it gives a sense of total emptiness.

The Last One

Orchid Lunar

I've never seen a wheelchair like that before.

Empty

Orchid Lunar

Appropriate title,this is vast emptiness.I like it.

Remnants

Orchid Lunar

I can't say if it looks like blood or not as I don't know the color of them.I would guess black but I could be wrong.

Tub

Orchid Lunar

Well you could just try and say they belonged to your grandparents or something.The real question is how are you going to get a bathtub out of a building quickly and quietly?
