Would anyone be surprised if someone tried to blow a hole through the wall in the flooded steam tunnels unterneath Southampton Rd. in order to gain access to S-10?

You guys think way too hard.....All that writing on the wall was done by my friends and I...where it says "Pennhurst Mission"...we posed for a picture together...everything that is in this picture is from us...

My mother is a nurse, and worked with an agency that was brought in to help Pennhurst before it was a lost cause for the patients..some of what you are saying is true, but a lot of it is 'ghost stories'...

I have tons of pictures and experiences I can tell you about first hand, and from my mom...so if you're interested...you can contact me on AIM.

I think there are flooded catacombs underneath the patient walkway. There are also catacombs leading to the large auditorium.

Actually, there are intact portions scattered throughout byberry. even in old byberry, you can come across an intact portion here and there.

Dayroom

Andrew

Wow you people are weird. I really dont care what you say. It wasnt even my idea to smash the window panes..it was another person..i jus did it to try it. I also dont think the place should be restored, it is how it is, and what water, its on the third floor and has iron bars on it.

You people are obsessive about these places, just take your pictures and shut up, big deal.

I finally got to go..didnt get to the autopsy area..its locked from the staircase, and of course the elevator is not powered. I think the intentions of the hospital was just to watch over the patients and try out different methods of "curing" their disease. I believe this because, they did force injections that caused convulsions n seizures.
They put them in Tubs of ice water..it wasnt "nice"

Who cares how much power it has-- it's gonna rot
away, instead of someone rescuing it and restoring it for display, or perhaps use?
