Why is it pictures in black and white always take on a much more ominous feel to them? Seeing this building in nothing but the basic greys, blacks, and whites makes it seem so alone, so forgotten, so hidden.

OMG they should open peen hurts and hire pepole to act like if it was still open for holloween that will be really scary so scary they would make alot of money by doing that

I have only recently started looking through this site. I am thoroughly addicted. I think the black-and-whites are scarier BECAUSE all the color is taken from them. It is gives a more stark appearance, and, as you said, Randar, a more ominous, look. It can also be more beautiful, sans color...

Ness...you're f-ing mean and ignorant of all the horrid things that went on there. Grow up and join the rest of the real world.

i used to go to pennhurst almost every day. These pictures are nothing. I got some really freaky pictures that will bug you out. This place isn't for the faint of heart however. You do see and hear some pretty "other-wordly" stuff. I once spent an entire weekend down in the tunnels. Found a brand-new couch and told my buddies to come back monday morning and pick me up. I'm not scared of ghosts. I grew up in houses that were haunted. If you go in scared, they're gonna mess with your head. Whenever i go, i go in without a flashlight and go where ever to prove to them that they can't scare me. And they haven't donw so yet. But a couple of my buddies won't even dare go back to Pennhurst because of stuff that's happened to them.

Wow man, I just finished reading Lou Chapmans report on staying Penhurst State hospital. Having worked with Develope Mentally Disabled Adults myself for a number of years in a much nicer setting, though I can relate to the placid apathetic attitude when I brought to the attention to the owners of the group home of 48 clients both male/female high/low functioning that the actual "programming Director," himself was abusive to the clients. Hey, as long as this guy wrote up great results for the state...they could care less. I was/am a whistle blower and informed the state. They are still in buisness....all I know is....I did the best I can and in the best intrest of the clients. Back in the day, and not long ago, working as a CNA I and my co-workers were given 17 patients to one CNA....and that was SUB ACCUTE for the 3-11 shift. How can I provide proper nursing care regaurdless of sub-accute or long term whatever....my patients need and deserve proper nusring care for even to meet they're basic need's?! I made an appointment with the then DON (Director of Nursing) and it was all nicey-nice until I brought up the fact I and my fellow CNA's were handiling 17 patients on the 3-11 shift and when will it stop?! She blunlety told me I was lucky I wasn't given 19 to 22 ! I couldn't believe her insensitivity towards her/my charges (patients) and maybe I did more harm then good by quiting then and there...but hey, someone had to put there head on the chopping block. I have been in this nursing buisness a very long time. I remember back when AIDS was called GRID and patients food trays were left outside the patients door from the room , left on the floor, because of stupidity. I also know when my severly retarded cusin was dragged down the hall at Fairview to prep him ready for a "Home Visit." We were told to "call," first before picking him up...why, to cover the tracks? Like Lou Chapman wrote in her wonderful report concerning such moves by the stuff to be fore warned? Yes it's sad....be it any type of institutions....we warehouse those we can't afford at home of have time to care and yes, our environs may not be condusive to home care....However, there are many unsung hero's and we can volunteer even in these trying times....an hour here at the VA ...an hour there....Hell, turn the TV off or step away from the computer and due a little "feel good ," work....donate some clothes to a Long Term Care Faucility,"...many of these folks only recieve clothing from the next guy who died for Pete's sake...you think I am kidding? Mag's...books...hey these folks can read...okay...read to them....I am just saying...people especially the mentally challenged....they are innocents and we need to protect them and not let Willowbrook and the like....happen. That's all I am saying, not pointing fingers, but this NMBY of gropu homes and the like.....think about , thats all. I am getting off my soap box, be well people and spread peace man, not negative stuff okay? CC

Hi Erin, ness turned out to be right. Here it is, 4 years later, and a haunted house businessman has purchased Pennhurst and will open a haunted house in the admin. bldg. for Halloween 2010. I saw a preview of it last night on TV and it will be FREKY. Too bad I live in California. :-(

UFO..............UFO...............................UFO



WOO WEE OOH
