Investigating some of the "reportedly" most haunted locations in America...
Pennhurst Asylum -- Spring City, Pa.
Black Raven Paranormal Feature Investigation -- September 2015
Background History
Pennhurst Asylum, originally known as the Eastern Pennsylvania State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic was an institution for mentally and physically disabled individuals of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Opened in 1908 and covering an area of 120 acres, it was one of the largest
institutions of its kind in the state of Pennsylvania.
Over 10,000 patients crossed through the doors into Pennhurst, residing in one of the many buildings in the school's network. Overwhelmed parents dropped off their children who were mentally retarded or autistic, hoping the school would provide for them. Sadly, many of these children were abandoned to become wards of the state. While some patients could care for themselves, many more suffered from severe disabilities. As patients flowed in, the staff became overwhelmed. The result was rampant abuse, neglect and horrific conditions.
After almost 80 years in operation Pennhurst was finally shut down. Do the spirits of the patients and abusive employees still roam the halls of the asylum today?

Pennhurst is noted for an abundance of unusual and unexplainable events. Many insist the buildings and grounds to be extremely haunted. Apparitions of young children and a woman in a older nurse's uniform have been spotted often. Disembodied voices, objects that are moved or manipulated, doors that open and close are frequent events documented. Many report being touched or even having objects thrown at them.
It is little wonder to the occurrence of such events given the history and trama associated with Pennhurst Asylum.
