Pennhurst started as an institution for the feeble minded and epileptic. It as started with good intentions and grew to be unproductive and became more of a warehouse for unwanted people. With the walls covered in defecation and urine, the place always smelled bad. There were several casualties which leads to the odd occurrences. The tunnel of Pennhurst is known for being one of the most Haunted places in America. If you passed away in Pennhurst, you would be put onto a gurney and pushed down a long tunnel that lead to the morgue. People who are living and walk down that tunnel have been pushed, touched, scratched and if you were "lucky" enough, you were able to hear the voices of the departed.
