Do you believe in ghosts? A nurse who gives invisible shots, a girl
who likes to dart into corners and a man who still sits in the
common room are just three of the spirits haunting the Pennhurst
Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania. How do I know that? I have
spent a Halloween season working in the Mayflower building, 2nd
floor and have witnessed the paranormal activity first hand.
Twenty-five years ago, Pennhurst State School and Mental Hospital
was closed down due to patient abuse. Today Pennhurst has been
turned into a Halloween attraction. I took a job as an orderly
working in the Mayflower building, one of the most spiritually
active of all the buildings. People are fascinated with Pennhurst
and want to know more of its past and its present. Intrigued, I
decided to do my own research. Here is what I discovered.
Do the Adamses have more to fear from the living or the dead?
"He grabbed the edge of the ice, clinging desperately. Murky water
filled his boots, becoming as weighted anchors. Numbing cold
squeezed his limbs as he tried to scream for help. But his chest
hurt. It was hard to breathe. His heart beat wildly in his thin
chest. Water seeped inside his clothing, his skin turned to ice. He
stared up at the sky. The ice cracked again, creating fragments of
drifting sheets. As his glove caught on the jagged edge, his hand
slid out. Dark water swirled over him as he began to sink into the
frigid depths of the black void."
Twenty-five years have passed since eight-year-old Carl Weber
drowned in Gray's Pond, and now one member of the Adams family has
returned to Kimberton, Pennsylvania, to reside once again in the
old mansion. It is time for Mark Adams to revisit his past, and for
his wife Donna and daughter, Kim, to become acquainted with their
neighbors, a rather odd old couple who own the farm next door.
Each day, however, brings strange occurrences, increasing
paranormal activity, till it becomes agonizingly clear that ghosts
of the past are trying to make their presence known. As the search
for the truth be.
