PENNHURST PARACON 2: DAY TWO

SKELETON OF A RACCOON

Pennhurst Paracon 2: Day Two 

The Mayflower Hall Building located at the old Pennhurst State School & Hosptial in Spring City Pennsylvania was busy day two of Pennhurst Paracon 2. The heat and humidy didn't stop patrons from finding their way throughout the huge building, searching for that special something that might not be found in your average local store. 

Vendors offered a variety of items for sale - many paranormal in nature. 

People also got a chance to see the Mayflower Building up close and personal. This included taking a tour of the 3rd floor and basement. 

Lectures were also offered in the basement.

With the threat of bad weather looming over Pennhurst, the day wrapped up a bit earlier than expected.

Safety first.  

But all in all, it was  a great day to visit Pennhurst.

PENNHURST PARACON 2

Due to its 2015 success, Pennhurst Paracon returned again in 2016 with a two-day event.

The first day of Pennhurst Paracon 2016 was hot but dry. A nice crowd of folks showed up to explore the Mayflower Hall and Devon Buildings. Vendors were located on 1st and 2nd floors of the Mayflower building selling their paranormal services, clothing, jewelry, books, toys, ghost hunting equipment, etc. Paranormal lectures were given in Mayflower's basement.

This scene was taken of the catwalk between Dietary and Administration buildings. People enjoyed the beautiful weather, leisurely walking around and taking pictures.

MAYFLOWER HALL: PENNHURST Pa

This picture shows only a portion of the huge Mayflower Hall building located at Pennhurst State School and Hospital. The second-floor window appears to be open in this picture, which isn't unusual due to the paranormal activity that  lingers in this area. This segment of the building is divided into four sections. Half walls separate the rooms. Orbs, shadows, voices, and touching are all common experiences for folks visiting this haunted location.

During the past couple of Halloween seasons, this distinctive window has opened on its own several times, despite being nailed shut. Photographs of this   area often reveal faces or shadowy forms. Orbs are also commonplace. Some are colorful, green or bluish in nature.

Book Review

Reviewed by Katelyn Hensel for Readers' Favorite

A closed insane asylum lies quietly rotting in the bleak North-Atlantic sun. Yet, it seems that some of its residents, both children and adult, are still inside. The Pennhurst Asylum is one of America's most haunted residences. Its history is dark and traumatic, with most of the patients suffering painful abuse and mistreatment at the hands of the staff. Tamera Lawrence brings us into this dark world to experience this haunting past and wonder about the present residents in her book Ghosts of Mayflower. With enough facts, stories, and insights to turn even the toughest critic white with fear, this is a ghost story that is truly worthy of the name. 

You can tell that Tamera Lawrence spent a lot of time researching this project. The history and attention to detail is impeccable and very informative. The description of each haunting is wonderful and eerie. You feel as if you are really there, and that at any second something is going to jump out and grab you. The mysterious and scary nature of the stories have a deeper impact, knowing that this is no work of fiction, and that these experiences or many like them have been shared by real people. Any fan of ghost hunting and the like will be thrilled by this haunting book. It's up to you if you believe in the captivating stories within, or if you know that the dead stay buried. Either way, Ghosts of Mayflower is a fun read for anyone who enjoys ghost stories

Into the dark: Mayflower Building

There is always that awkward moment when you enter the third-floor hallway in the Mayflower Hall Building, Pennhurst. You can't help but stare down the seemingly endless hallway, searching with your flashlight for something - anything - out of the norm. The hope is, of course, that you won't see anything standing there. But even if you can't see something with your naked eye, you still have the feeling that you're not alone. 

This is me as I have one of those worried moments. 

The Mayflower Hall Building is located at the notorious Pennhurst State School & Hospital.

PENNHURST: GHOST ASYLUM EPISODE

Just sharing this picture from last year's October 2015 episode of Ghost Asylum.  These guys (The Tennessee Wraith Chasers) were a lot of fun and true ghost enthusiasts. But despite their best efforts to help and/or rescue a trapped spirit, I don't think they had much luck. And personally speaking, I don't believe the ghosts of Pennhurst want to leave. They like it there. 

But in any event, Pennhurst State School & Hospital will continue to be a draw for ghost hunters and thrill seekers for years to come.
