MAYFLOWER HALL: PENNHURST




Known for its paranormal activity, the Mayflower Hall building always keeps me guessing. Having worked in this building for the Pennhurst haunt for five years has been an amazing experience due to the unexpected events that often occur. 

Over the course of the years, I have witnessed shadow people, orbs and have heard unexplained voices. I have had my hair touched, backed into someone who wasn't there and have tripped over something invisible in the main hallway. (felt like a body) 

I believe something had followed me home and had later returned to this building. (because of photos) 

 I had also witnessed an apparition of a young teenager walking down the main hallway. This was the most unnerving of all my experiences because he had allowed me to see him. He had entered the room across from me and had stood between the two windows, staring at me. At the time, I froze in terror, not sure what to do. He faded away. 

My paranormal experiences don't keep me from working in Mayflower. I'm  intrigued by the invisible life within this building but know better than to let myself get to close. Instead, I protect myself with my faith. For without it, I could never work in this building. 

In any event, the photo of the room above was taken on the 2nd floor of Mayflower. The windows don't have glass. I believe I have captured something in the right-hand corner of the window, peeking in at me. This was not part of the wall. And since I know it haunted, it's not hard to believe it was an entity. 

 Also, check out the orb. There is a lot of dust in Mayflower, (fooling some guests) but there are true orbs. I have seen them with the naked eye and so has customers.

TINICUM BUILDING: PENNHURST State School & Hospital



Although I have never been inside this building, it stands beside Mayflower Hall and Quaker Hall. Overgrown with foliage, this building holds an air of mystery to it. At night, paranormal activity stirs around this building. Shadowy figures have been seen stirring through the trees and growth. 

But during the fall Pennhurst 2015 haunt season, something else emerged from the foliage surrounding this building - a cat. Often skittish, this feline would sit near this building watching the Pennhurst Haunt in action. Taking pity on the kitty, staff, including myself, left food out for the cat who snuck out to take a bite or two. 

In any event, this cat feared only the living.

 If by chance she saw a ghost, she wasn't letting on.

GHOSTS OF MAYFLOWER: Pennhurst State School & Hospital




Ball Anyone? 

There are several balls located in the Mayflower Hall Building, Pennhurst. These balls are not only stationed on all three floors but also in the basement. These balls are not original to the building but were placed there by ghost enthusiasts or paranormal groups. 

During the 2015 Halloween season, several eyewitnesses had reported that this particular ball had moved on its own. Located on the first floor, it was often the talk of people coming up to the 2nd floor.  

Over the course of five years working in this building, I have no doubt that the balls will on occasion move on their own. 

But I don't always believe its ghostly mischief doing the deed. I think the spirits in Mayflower have a little help at times. 

But I will attest that the building is truly haunted.  Of that, I have no doubt.

DEVON BUILDING: PENNHURST



This it the front of  the Devon Building, Pennhurst, facing the Quaker & Tinicum Buildings, along the catwalk side. 

Overgrown with fall foliage, the Devon is barely visible behind the growth. But the colors stand out in the gloomy atmosphere.
