This ship looks like it has such a story to tell of the many seas it has traveled.

This picture is very disturbing to me also. Everything about it is weird. I think that there was good and bad employees at Pennhurst but I would have to disagree when people say that it was a picture painted wrong in the court system. From reading stories that people wrote who were patients there and reading the many reports written by the employees I am sure and would stand by my words that Pennhurst was a horrible dreadful place for the people that HAD to live there or were PUT there.

That is the thing about these people that just go back there to destroy things there is no reason for it. Someone said something about people destroying history I guess this is history but I would hate to think of this as an meaningfull history. Well because of it being closed down for the way they treated the patients I would hope that it would change the way people in these places get treated but I doubt it.

There was a fire just a few years back it is in The Mercury Newspaper if you want to read about it.

This picture takes me back to one of the buildings me and my b/f went into I can not remember the name of it right now but I know excactly were it is and it still makes my blood run cold. We were walking through the building and we came across a chair and the scene looked just like this one in the picture. The chair was facing us as we entered the doorway when we came back to exit in the oppostie direction the chair then was facing us again. Both of us walked very fast out of the building and did not say a word to the other until we were saftely away from the area. Then we both agreed that something felt very weird inside and that something was not right. I no I was scared we still talk about it.

Does anyone know if that is really true that the Mayflower ward was really isolation. It has been quit a few months since I have been there so I can not remember what buildings we were in but we have been in almost all of them and I never saw mattresses on the walls but I did come across rooms still locked, and I never have gone in the tunnels or up in the attics or down in the basements so I no we have missed stuff.

That is true that people came back to live on the grounds right after it was closed down because they knew nothing but this place regardless of how they were treated. I think that homeless people have spent nights here because when walking through the buildings you will see stuff like this. I could never spend a night here personally it is hard walking through here in the daytime. To answer someone's question about bumping into people up here. I have been up there more then I can count I have come across the military guards up at the womens building and locals just taking a walk or people driving out quickly in the night. Once me and my B/F came across a dog that was acting very strangely that really scared me and him to the point I just wanted to get in the car and get out of there. The dog was whinning and everywhere we would go he would show up as if to warn us to leave.

I have been on many escapades on the grounds and I have searched for the freezers but have not yet found them. I no that the reason they needed these frezzers is because of the many deaths that went on due to there causing them. The files will show people went into this place normal and came out insane. That is a fact if you research things you will find the answers. They were constantly covering up things. I just want to let the record be known because of a comment I saw a few up from mine about the staff haveing so many patients per person if you read the files there was actually alot of employees I think I read thousands. There is no excuse for the abuse that went on.

I would just like to say from being up there exploring personally, and from researching this place and the things that went on you actually should see the toilets that have seatbelts on them now you are telling me that there was a reason for someone to be seatbelted to a toilet seat and they were open just like these. It would not surprise me if there were no dividers that is just a small part of how these people lived!!!!!!!!!!!
