Mayflower Hall: Third Floor

The buildings at the old Pennhurst State School & Hosptial are known for their size. Most of the buildings have at least three levels and a basement. This picture was taken on the third floor of the Mayflower Hall building. 

 Although this picture was taken in a dimly lit setting, the light at the end of the hallway beckons with supernatural illumination - or at least it seems that way. It brings to mind those scary flicks where the character just can't seem to get to the end of the hallway. 

Pennhurst State School and Hospital is located in Spring City, Pa. 

(1903-1987)

PENNHURST GHOSTS OF MAYFLOWER II: Book Review

NEW AMAZON REVIEW: 

5.0 out of 5 stars

HALLOWEEN IS VERY SCARY AT PENNHURST.

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

I enjoyed Tamera's story with some pretty interesting photos! If you haven't read her first book it would be a good start and then Mayflower II. In her first book something from Pennhurst followed her home and she has some photos of it.

Why not try the Look Inside and then the Free Sample? You'll be glad you did.

If you like these kinds of stories try True Haunting by Edwin Becker, The Lee Avenue Haunting by Donna-Parrish Bischoff, and A Summer of Fear by Rebecca Patrick Howard.

Mayflower: Dolly

"Peek A boo! I see You!" 

This dolly might as well open up its mouth and say those words out loud. Situated in the basement of the Mayflower Hall Building, Pennhurst, this little fellow had been placed upon an old crate of some sort. I came upon him one night in 2016 as I walked through the basement, which is cut up into several rooms. This room is black so when my flashlight fell upon this doll's features, it was quite startling. Although this boy is not a relic of the original state school and Hospital, he is an interesting find in the unnerving, dark basement. 

Over the past few years, many people leave things in the Mayflower Building, mainly the paranormal groups. Perhaps they are making an offering to the spirits that seem to roam freely around this building. The old Pennhurst State School & Hospital is known for its haunted atmosphere and dire past.

MAYFLOWER HALL: ENTITY?

Working in the Mayflower Hall Building at Pennhurst State School & Hospital is and has always been a fascinating experience. 

This is a picture I had taken in October 2016. It was taken in the Mayflower Hall building, 2nd floor. A female employee is walking into the main Hallway, just off the day or common room. If you look at the doorway across from her, you will notice what appears to be a large figure with a face. Now this room is roped off, not only in the hallway but also across the doorway. The room is also void of furniture, except for a filing cabinet, not seen from this angle.

Customers aren't allowed into this room. 

So who or what is standing near the entrance, appearing to be peeking out into the hall? 

Currently, Pennhurst is used as a Halloween Attraction. Ghost Hunt is located in the Mayflower Building.

Mayflower is known for its paranormal actvity. 

Mayflower Hall is just one of the many buildings still standing at the old Pennhurst State School and Hospital. Pennhurst was opened in 1908-1987

PENNHURST: 2016: ORB

BLUE ORB

The catwalk at the old Pennhurst State School & Hospital can be rather creepy at night. This part of the catwalk is just behind the Quaker building. The area to the left is thick with foliage and trees - to condensed to even walk in the area. A staff member has been guarding this part of the walkway during the annual Halloween entertainment. This member has reported seeing shadows in this area. He also said he feels like something is watching him.  But the worst part for this gentleman is the night he was touched on the shoulder by an unseen hand. Clearly, it had unnerved him. 

Customers have also gotten pictures of orbs and faces in the trees.

So, that being said, I stopped and took a couple of pictures in this area. I captured a blue orb, seemingly near the railing. This orb then took flight and fluttered off into the trees. This is the four pictures I managed to capture. There was no one else around when I took these pictures. It was late at night.

Pennhurst is a fascinating place to visit. The entire property has a haunting, serene quality that can be felt by many visitors. I can describe it as the past seemingly merging with the present - even if for just a moment. 

Pennhurst State School and Hosptial was originally opened 1908-1987. It sat empty for many, many years.

GHOSTS OF MAYFLOWER: OCT 21, 2016

A toy left over from Pennhurst State School

Friday, October 21, 2016

With the ending of the summerlike weather, Pennhurst took on a chilly wind. The temperatures dropped and the leaves scattered. Along with the change, an eerie feeling crept into the Mayflower Hall building.  (aka Ghost Hunt)

During the evening, I was standing in Mayflower’s foyer, talking to entering groups. In mid-sentence, a breath of air rustled the back of my hair. It was as if someone was standing behind me and blew into my neck. Thinking it was a co-worker messing with me, I turned sharply around, only to be staring into the empty hallway. Unnerved, I continued onward. However, that was not the end of it. Several times throughout the evening, my head was either stroked by an unseen hand or my hair was tugged.

But I was not the only target of this mischievous spirit. A co-worker reported he had been tapped on the head. Another woman on 2^nd floor reported a similar experience.

 Other customers claimed to see moving orbs with the naked eye. Some boasted of either being touched or hearing voices close to their ears.

All in all- it was a great night for ghost hunting.

Pennhurst Asylum is located in Spring City, Pennsylvania.
