  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 ❤

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

  My uncle was here back in the 1970’s. This was NOT a good place! There was a lot of abuse, violence, physical and sexual abuse. Then he went to Embreeville, which wasn’t much better. Then my mom took over his care and sent him to a very nice caring group home where he was finally able to live the rest of his life in peace and happiness. Sad that these places existed.

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

  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.

  It saddens me when a historical building has to be demolished because for whatever reason it couldn't be saved 😢. Lost forever to future generations

  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!🖤👻

  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.

  That haunted house attraction is atrocious. How disrespectful. Adding to the stigma of disablility and mental illness.

  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!
