Pennhurst Asylum's doors have been shuttered since 1987. Yet, the souls of countless patients are said to remain.
Tales of terror —
including regular abuse of patients — began emanating from the severely overcrowded mental asylum, which also housed criminals and immigrants, soon after it opened.
Today, the place that caused so much pain for so many beckons thrill seekers and ghost hunters. During the day and evening hours, you can typically go for a tour or visit one of the attractions, including Containment and Dungeon of Lost Souls.
The overnight ghost hunt, which runs from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following morning, will give you access to the campus' tunnels and infamous Mayflower Building. You'll also have the chance to participate in seances, ghost hunting vigils, and...
Bundle up in warm clothing (or bring some with you) because, even if the weather doesn't chill you, the whispered voices, screams, and apparitions just may make you shake.
Spirits still said to remain at Pennhurst Asylum include a pretty aggressive male who, when sensing the presence of another aggressive male will run toward that male, even attempting to strangle him.
Keep your momentum going all night long with the free drinks and snacks. Drinks include Coke (regular and diet), coffee, tea, bottled water, and hot chocolate.
Book an overnight ghost hunt for the most haunted hunt of the season. Overnight hunts in October are set for October 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 27, and 31. November dates are also available.
