It kind of bothers me that they have turned this place of such tragedy into a haunted house. These places deserve respect and reverence considering that an estimated half of the “children” died while in Pennhursts care.

I have a disabled son and it's kills my heart knowing if he was born in those times he would have been mistreated.. I feel for all those 'inpatients' who called pennhurst their home

I've worked with folks who lived in a place like that in their youth. The trauma that they live with more significantly affects their daily life than their disabilities does.

My younger brother is mentally disabled, so happy he got to grow up at home with me. This breaks my heart.

When my uncle was born with downs syndrome the doctor told my grandmother to put him in a home and forget about him because he would not live past 2 years old. He is now 56 years old and the most loving human I have ever known ❤

I've been in the paranormal field for almost 30yrs so I've been to some of the most haunted places in America. In all my years investigating hauntings, some residential, some abonded, and others being in hospitals, asylums, prisons etc theres absolutely NOTHING that compares to Pennhurst. This is not a place for the faint of heart, the timid, or easily scared because these spirits will definitely feed off of that and truly give you an experience you'll never forget! Pennhurst & Wavely Hills are hands down my favorite locations to investigate because they have never let me down!

It made me sad when the guides said that many residents bodies were shipped home once they passed away since that means if someone was sent here as a child their family didn’t want to bother with them until they died😢 thanks for another great Grim adventure & showing this historical place before it’s demolished!🖤👻

Heartbreaking!!! What parent throws their child away to a place like this??? It’s also sad a haunted house is here. These are precious souls after all. Ghost Adventures did an excellent video here. When exploring the utmost of respect should be shown. Thank you for doing this in daylight.

we have been blessed with a 47 minute video today-- thank you guys! 🖤

I took care of a woman who grew up there. The scars were still visible that they had given her. The psychological scars were worse.

Remember, the sad dear patients who were abused and died there , be respectful of the dead there , they have been through enough. Anyone who turns that into a Halloween haunt has no conscience or class.

This place is unbelievably spooky at night… especially when you’re all alone in the tunnels beneath the building 😂

I used to work at an over 200 year old psychiatric hospital in Brattleboro VT and there's lots of buildings that have been abandoned on the property that are almost similar to this. They even have a graveyard across the street and a tower the patients built a hundred years ago. The property is private unfortunately but it's such a cool space to explore. I was a shift lead so I had keys to all these places and me and co workers used to sneak in lol. Definitely a fun job.

First, All respect to those who were mistreated and hurt.

What awful horrors those poor kids suffered there. May their souls R.I.P.

I visited pennhurst with a school trip last spring and I didn't feel any bad energy, but I did feel overwhelming sadness. Our tour guide made us sit in the grass in silence for a few minutes and I had to stop myself from crying. After we left, I had one of the worst headaches I have ever experienced, and I was exhausted for the rest of the day. this was the first time ive ever been to a paranormal location so I have nothing to compare it with, but I do know that pennhurst drained me after being there for only a couple hours.

Great story teller . My respect to those loss and mistreated misunderstood.

“That’s really creepy. But also very pretty.” I love Jessica’s way of thinking

The clips with the nurse explaining the music room really makes it REAL and adds that human aspect to it. I always viewed this places as a "creepy place" but of course it was a real place with real people and real situations. Great video as always!!!

Places like this being torn down is such a bittersweet thing. It’s tragic what happened to the kids there but at the same time the building itself is such an interesting piece of history.
