My younger brother is mentally disabled, so happy he got to grow up at home with me. This breaks my heart.
They education on that wasn't around then . Only thing they had was electric
Me too. It’s even more painful when you have a family member or child with a mental disorder. I’m just grateful that they are alive in this day and age where there is more education on it.
Reed God bless U brother ok...I'm Joe from Melbourne peace ✌️ out
I've worked with folks who lived in a place like that in their youth. The trauma that they live with more significantly affects their daily life than their disabilities does.
I have a disabled son and it's kills my heart knowing if he was born in those times he would have been mistreated.. I feel for all those 'inpatients' who called pennhurst their home
They worked with what they had back then
@@michaelmayo-vb5fl im not saying they didn't but mental disability was so frowned upon and so much abuse was rife not saying abuse doesn't happen today but at least many understand what mental disability entails now. And they are not just chucked in an asylum
If there is any one who should be outraged of mistreatment is mental health & disabled people 😢!
@@rebeccaaldridge8114 Just remember that it was often the families (parents/caregivers) of the disabled patients that often had them admitted. Yes, many of them were pressured by doctors and other authoritarian figures at the time to do it because they'd scare the families into believing that they "weren't cut out to provide that kind of care" to their disabled family members... but just as many willingly had them admitted because they had no desire to care for their disabled family member. They were thought of as a drain emotionally and financially, the families were "embarrassed" for not having a "normal" family member, so they had them locked away so they could continue on as normal and wash their hands of the whole affair.
same here i am mentally disabled. I would've died in those times
This place is unbelievably spooky at night… especially when you’re all alone in the tunnels beneath the building 😂
Especially when you add fake sounds as an overlay on your videos 🙄🙄
Paranormal BS I say.
we have been blessed with a 47 minute video today-- thank you guys! 🖤
Yes we have. Happy Halloween.🖤💜🧡
@@Spooky_Dook Happy Halloween! 🖤🧡
@@sara.bearie happy holloween
@@Spooky_Dook ❤💓
@@LauraSusanUilani Happy Halloween!!!🖤🖤🖤
It made me sad when the guides said that many residents bodies were shipped home once they passed away since that means if someone was sent here as a child their family didn’t want to bother with them until they died😢 thanks for another great Grim adventure & showing this historical place before it’s demolished!🖤👻
First, All respect to those who were mistreated and hurt.
Second, you guys made my day. I love this channel and was so excited to see a new upload!
Huge respect, i hope they ALL found peace.
Upon transfer in the intro, see the nurse with a damn wire stick.
That place should have shut down sooner!! Staff should have come forth, i don't care if i lost my job, staff, doctors and nurses, even aides should have been reported!!
I can't believe Henry Fonda was doing the narration!!!
I used to work at an over 200 year old psychiatric hospital in Brattleboro VT and there's lots of buildings that have been abandoned on the property that are almost similar to this. They even have a graveyard across the street and a tower the patients built a hundred years ago. The property is private unfortunately but it's such a cool space to explore. I was a shift lead so I had keys to all these places and me and co workers used to sneak in lol. Definitely a fun job.
ohh that is incredible! i bet youve got some amazing ghost or just creepy stories !
You should of made duplicates! 🔑🗝😏
@@ThomasBMawn I wish. They were marked "do not copy " lol.
@@ThomasBMawn I can make keys to get into any of these shit places assuming that any of the doors are still unlockable , just need to know what the keyway is using to get the right key blank ,lol ! common older keyways are yale , Sargent , Corbin e.c.t !
@@jaydeeelady those are plenty easy to go get copied , done it many times, they usually don't care anyways but if you are worried about it just put a piece of tape on it with a letter or name of something magic markered on it, easy !
What awful horrors those poor kids suffered there. May their souls R.I.P.
great video guys. Happy Halloween 👻
I've been in the paranormal field for almost 30yrs so I've been to some of the most haunted places in America. In all my years investigating hauntings, some residential, some abonded, and others being in hospitals, asylums, prisons etc theres absolutely NOTHING that compares to Pennhurst. This is not a place for the faint of heart, the timid, or easily scared because these spirits will definitely feed off of that and truly give you an experience you'll never forget! Pennhurst & Wavely Hills are hands down my favorite locations to investigate because they have never let me down!
I’d love to investigate both places
I have been in the paranormal field for over a decade and by far my worst was a place in Maryland Glenn Dale Hospital. It is the only place that I have EVER had my team leave an investigation do to injury and fear for more injuries. While on an investigation my partner and I (both lead investigators and founders of the team and neither green by any stretch at this point) walk into 2 rooms side by side. One per room at which point I hear him talking to me from the other room and I thought he was behind me. I turn around and a solid black mass is at which point I say oh shit and as soon as I get that out it rushes at me and I am picking myself up at my partners feet. Through the wall. This was the point he helps me up we call to the rest of the team to grab whatever they have with them and exit the buildings After 20 minutes out side him and I decided to call it send everyone home and HIM AND I packed up making sure we were never out of sight of each other there again. Now comes the stupid part him and I have another investigation there we are lining up with another team leader from another team and all three of us have safety protocols set in place and the three of us will travel together with out splitting up at any time
@@richardstrader4709 do you have this on video❓❓because I would like to see
@@bigpoppadarb9940 unfortunately no when I got thrown through the wall. It smashed the camera and I was in part of the hospital that we were not set up for DVR.
@@richardstrader4709 thought so
Remember, the sad dear patients who were abused and died there , be respectful of the dead there , they have been through enough. Anyone who turns that into a Halloween haunt has no conscience or class.
The clips with the nurse explaining the music room really makes it REAL and adds that human aspect to it. I always viewed this places as a "creepy place" but of course it was a real place with real people and real situations. Great video as always!!!
Happy Halloween 🎃🎃
It kind of bothers me that they have turned this place of such tragedy into a haunted house. These places deserve respect and reverence considering that an estimated half of the “children” died while in Pennhursts care.
Bruh the haunted house has absolutely nothing to do with the history. Besides even if it did it doesn’t matter because they’re all dead now. Other asylums do the same so who cares.
I love 10 minutes from Pennhurst. When my dad was a kid, they used to give field trips to Pennhurst to look at the patients. The schools took the kids on field trips to Pennhurst when it was still functioning as a hospital. Talk about messed up right?
@@pippalongstrum4780 😧
Janet. THANK YOU. You obviously understand the people who lived there. Unfortunately bad things did happen there. But the guy who stated “who cares they’re all dead anyways “. Is completely clueless even if he did have experience there
@@humanshrek1836 Bruh
Great story teller . My respect to those loss and mistreated misunderstood.
I visited pennhurst with a school trip last spring and I didn't feel any bad energy, but I did feel overwhelming sadness. Our tour guide made us sit in the grass in silence for a few minutes and I had to stop myself from crying. After we left, I had one of the worst headaches I have ever experienced, and I was exhausted for the rest of the day. this was the first time ive ever been to a paranormal location so I have nothing to compare it with, but I do know that pennhurst drained me after being there for only a couple hours.
we also had a former nurse explain some of the museum items to us and the way she talked about patients was really upsetting to hear. I don't trust that she was not mistreating people herself.
Places like this being torn down is such a bittersweet thing. It’s tragic what happened to the kids there but at the same time the building itself is such an interesting piece of history.
“That’s really creepy. But also very pretty.” I love Jessica’s way of thinking
Heartbreaking!!! What parent throws their child away to a place like this??? It’s also sad a haunted house is here. These are precious souls after all. Ghost Adventures did an excellent video here. When exploring the utmost of respect should be shown. Thank you for doing this in daylight.
Michael and Jessica, this is by far my most favourite video so far. Thank you for such an in depth experience and filmed/documented with facts and compassion. Love you guys 🖐
Loved this video,it's strange how when explaining the different rooms and what they were used for they say we used to or we had 100 people in one room when they weren't even born yet its just shows how much the building mean to them even after all this time
I am glad to see that you got to document this before it is tore down, I am also glad that it is being torn down, all the pain that went on in that place--although horrible--should never be forgotten.
I took care of a woman who grew up there. The scars were still visible that they had given her. The psychological scars were worse.
The room you went to in the Mayflower building for the most haunted place had a lot of activity for us when we were there filming a paranormal investigation for our channel. Actually had the same voice come through our spirit box repeatedly. We "played" hide and go seek with him and the catballs. Once he touched them, he very clearly told us to hide them again. Great place to visit!
Here's a question: What happens to the spirits if the building is torn down? Do they still linger on the property, or are they finally set free from that area?
That’s something I always wondered too but I’m assuming they’re free. Either to roam or to their peace
Since they're stuck here, I think they need help being set free to the other side.
I feel like they probably join up with other homeless and lost spirits, Much like our wayward homeless people here.
Love seeing you guys in Pennsylvania. I live not too far away and actually was a counselor for mentally-challenged kids in Northeast Pennsylvania in my college years. It’s a challenging job for sure, but rewarding.
Now this is how horror movies begin. Looks so creepy yet intriguing
I love that you tell the history of the places you visit instead of the usual ghost hunting like everyone else does! Keep up the amazing work.
When my uncle was born with downs syndrome the doctor told my grandmother to put him in a home and forget about him because he would not live past 2 years old. He is now 56 years old and the most loving human I have ever known ❤
As always, you guys are awesome...what happened there is terribly upsetting & horribly sad, glad that it was closed down, it's always been hard for me to watch the footage but you always seem to have the correct way of delivering every way of all aspects, thank you for all you do & I appreciate everything... Happy Halloween 🎃🍭🦇 Ps. Not a fan of dolls hahaha
No dolls for me either😬
Right haha ugh, just a huge nope
I hated them as a kid, they still creep me out. They seem like an empty vessel waiting for a soul. Yikes.
Cool, the inside of this place reminds me of the Otherworld in Silent Hill.
Thinking of all who lived here. Thank you amazing video
Already impressed by this investigation, and you haven't even started! So many paranormal teams have investigated this site; however, it feels like this particular visit will be the most exceptional! Impeccable match-ups, cinematography, historical background, Michael's steady camera pans and glides, and Jessica's commentary (and presence!)--another stand-out Grimm exploration.
This was so fascinating!! My heart goes out to those that were abused or mistreated in any way. Thank you ghouls 🎃👻😈
So good to see baby ghoul 😊
Sad story about that place. It does not surprise me it is haunted. So many lost souls. Great video.
Being a Bostonian now residing in SoCal love the old building's of the east coast you can just feel the energy inside.
I love how when you put up info to read you leave it up long enough for me to be able to focus and read it without having to pause to much or at all(i got bad vision)! Love the videos keep up the great work
Outstanding video. It's really unimaginable that children were in this facility, or anyone for that matter. Very intense. Ty for sharing this Michael and Jessica, and to the young people who showed you around and explained the different areas of the facility. One of your best videos ever!!🖤🖤
All of the children, ppl who were just put into this hospital/School bc of parents who didn’t want to deal with them, very sad. Mistreated. My hubby remembers this , I don’t…Thanks for another good one and taking us up North with you! 🖤💚 Happy Halloween 🎃
It's hard to imagine because we live in a different world now. Back then this is where you sent your children with disabilities. Parents were told that taking care of their child themselves wasn't an option. There were some parents who resisted and raised their children, but others took the advice of the professionals at the time.
@@abbywatson8133 Makes you think of the "professionals" now telling us to follow the science.
This reminds me so much of "American Horror Story, Season 2, Asylum"! It must have been hell on earth. These poor boys! 😔
I love that you included the footage at the beginning!! Gives the building so much more life and a atmosphere of eerie ness.. knowing that place was busy and full for many years and still creaks and comes to live 👻 Thankyou for bringing us this!! I love your content and haunted locations so much
Well done, as usual! Love your channel for the historical stories, and artifacts, I normally would be ignorant of. Doesn’t hurt to at least be aware, of the subject matter. Knowing is much better than not knowing.
That was so amazing when you were watching Jessica walking through the old window in that room!! Happy Halloween 🎃 💀🧟♂️👻
You guys are great! How cool is it to travel the country checking out spooky sites and attractions with someone you love. Happy Halloween!
This was a great video, I love seeing those old places with such history to them and just being able to explore you two are so lucky, Thank you Michael and Jessica for taking us along for the ride to this place you guys are amazing
I’ve recently came upon your channel and I’m OBSESSED! I love both your vibes, how respectful you are of the spirits, and how you tell stories! Can’t wait to see more
Such a sad story. I hope those people finally found peace. Great video. ✌️
I can't imagine how you and Jessica are feeling going through this building. For me I would have be so excited just to see a building like this and maybe know some history behind it before entering. good video Grim 👍🏽
You two are so talented!
You just keep putting out better material for all of us to enjoy. Thank you for your dedication as I very much appreciate your time and effort in producing such interesting shows. I might add that your very respectful as well. 💛
Your videos just keep getting better. .
Really well shot too..
Many thanks guys it's appreciated
Loved this video, i went to Votech out there and lived in an apartment about 10 minutes from Pennhurst. Before it was an attraction, I went to explore it one rainy day and was met with police officers wanting to arrest me for trespassing. Luckily there was a mulch company down the street and he came over and saved my ass.
Thank you guys,awesome video
I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago, and now I can't stop watching your videos. You two do a fantastic & thorough job with each one!
My friends and I went to Pennhurst. It was amazing and sad all at the same time. The guides were awesome. Thank you for sharing these buildings with us. Love you guys!
Thank you for another great upload guys, really appreciate what you do and the respect you show for the places you take us to.
Thanks guys for this great video!!! I love your channel and your creative spin on all you do!!!
I am binge watching all of your videos. I love the kindness and respect you show to each place you visit. I adore how much you both love one another. Michael is always so fun and informative. Jessica has a child like sense of wonderment. She always finds beauty in every place from the architectural structure, to the wild flowers. Thank you for bringing us along your adventures so we get to experience things a lot of us may never get to visit.
I’m watching this as I sit behind the school at the wastewater plant I run. As I type this I can see the School through the woods. If I get called out here at night it’s a sense of someone watching me until I go through the gates of my wastewater plant, then it all goes away like a normal world
This was a very spooky adventure! Thank you Michael and Jessica for this amazing Grimm tour and video. Hope you guys have a safe trip.🎃👻❤️🧡🖤
I work at a indiana prison that started out as a mental hospital than changed in 1977 to a prison. Very spooky all over. State is in process of getting ready to tearing it down and building new. Reminds me of Pinehurst
Love your streams. Thanks for taking me along!
Thank you so much for bringing us this video -- it is, by far, the best documentary I have seen on Pennhurst!!!
A Grimm Life video on my day off makes it that much better. I always watch it on the big screen TV, of course. The 4K is amazing and so crisp. This is the Travel Channel for Goth minded individuals. Happy Halloween as always!
Thank you Chris
@@grimmlifecollective The operating room and the 2 stitched together... that is what happened in death camps in WW2... known as the ` Twin Experiments... `
A horror museum I recently visited has a brick from Penhurst. I'll bet that place was a real nightmare for people. Sad stuff.
Thank you so much for such a great video. I've always had a thing for old, abandoned buildings.
Brings back memories of me visiting my aunt who was in an a asylum for 50 years, I was only a kid and the place terrified me and my sister and we would cling to my mother in there, I still have faint memories of been stopped on the huge corridors full of roaming people asking us for cigarettes..Thankfully they closed it in 1989....❤❤
Excellent, excellent! Another masterpiece from my favorite RUclipsrs. A+ on the thorough research and informative presentation. In one word: captivating.
I worked on a campus similar to this as a young nursing student, and the video brought back memories of those days. Understaffed and people of all mental capacities being "herded" at times. It was a sad situation. I just wonder where the spirits will go when they destroy these buildings.
Great job! Love these vlogs. Thank You! 👀🎃
any spirits that are there are demons , not people spirits, read your bible, !
So incredibly happy when there’s a longer Grimmlife!! This place was amazing- thank you both for sharing this 🖤🖤🖤
Awesome video! So excited that you did this vider on the Pennhurst Asylum.
We recently went to Pennhurst for a project, and we are happy to say that they no longer have plans to demo the auditorium. We were able to fly drones inside almost all the buildings while we visited and it was amazing!
Watching this definitely reminded me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The Haunt looked creepy.
Simply Amazing I wish I could be out doing things like this. Thank you for venturing out and bringing us all footage and a peek inside American History.
Thank you guys for sharing hopefully there is more to come
Amazing location!! I grew up close to the area and continue to visit. I have spoke with patients who have been sent to Pennhurst. Very sad stories!! Thank you for sharing your journey!! Much love!!
Beyond words. So terrible how the treated those kids. Thanks Grimm Life .
Ok I did NOT want this to end. You both did a fantastic job! The tour guides were phenomenal as well! Can’t wait for the next one! Oh and when are you two coming to CT???! ❤️
i do believe the narrator was henry fonda at the beginning of this video. thank you jessica and michael for this very informative video. your videos are always entertaining, and also so informative. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE. 🚴♀
If that’s true it’s kinda creepy. His first wife, Jane & Peter’s mom had a history of mental illness & wound up killing herself.
You never disappoint! Another amazing video! Haunted places are too cool!
Beautifully done. I prefer the history and dedications to ghost hunting these days and you guys always bring forth the best of the locations you visit. Thank you for all you put into your videos.
Wow.....what a bunch of talented artists to create all those characters.....truly impressive. I am also sad that buildings like these are to be destroyed. I live in upstate New York in the Fingerlakes area and the town 6 miles to the north of me...Newark....has a institution like this that is abandoned and still standing.....you should try to come to Newark to explore it. There are actually a bunch of haunted areas in the Fingerlakes. The Belhurst Castle which sits on the banks of Seneca Lake is haunted....plus it's a beautiful hotel if you come to the Fingerlakes area....the Castle is in the town of Geneva.
I've seen a number of videos of paranormal investigations done at Penshurst. I've even watched a documentary that I think was done in the 60s about the place. One heck of a creepy place. The things that were done to the patients were horrible.
1968 documentary Suffer the Little Children. It’s on RUclips
@@EpcotCenter1982 yes! That's the one
Awesome Vid Grimmlove! Thanks for the tour of this amazing dark intriguing place! I felt like I was there with you🔥🔥✨
Thank you! 🙏🏽 I’ve been aware of Pennhurst for many years and happy to learn even more about its history.
All old buildings like this are time capsules to the past looking back on the history and stories on these places are extraordinary and sad…
Spook house part was great but really for myself I found the whole place incredibly sad for lots of reasons , thanks again that was awesome tour!
Great video, really appreciate what guys do and show us! The few haunted locations I've been to I almost never focus on the spirits/hauntings there because I am just so enamored with the history, architecture, the original historic artifacts left behind, the story, etc. Super interesting to see.
You two are so sweet together. Real soulmates❤ Thanks for sharing all this. So sad for those poor people whose whole life was lived there. May they all RIP.
Another great grimm adventure. Very spooky and love these types of videos . Happy Halloween 🦇
It actually does make me angry that they are demoing buildings. This place should stand as is.
Awesome video as always!!
This is amazing! Thank you for showing such beauty in the decay and honoring it’s history!
In case anyone is wondering or otherwise don't recognize the voice narrating the B & W footage, it's Henry Fonda. How he got that gig, who knows? 🙂
Definitely needs to have a part 2 and find survivors to talk about the place and staff 😮
Ghost Adventures did a video on Penhurst, and they did talk to people who lived there. You should check it out.
I watched a lot of videos of this place but none of them with images of the asylum back in the day… amazing work!
I appreciate this video so much thank you!
that place was the real house of HORRORS the things what must of happend to them poor kids always great videos from you guys
Good to have you guys back in the commonwealth!
I have been binge watching your channel lately and this is easily one of your best videos 🙏🏻 I cannot thank you both enough for taking us all on this tour with you two and sharing its history and horrors. You two have the best channel on RUclips!
Awesome video of Pennhurst with an aspect I've never seen before. Thank you!
What a wonderful opportunity you had. Thank you for sharing.
