Pennhurst Asylum

Opened in 1908, Pennhurst was originally meant to house physically and mentally disabled patients for either permanent treatment or reformation back into society. Just 4 years later, it was already overcrowded and by 1968, 60 years after it opened, a local news report exposed rampant patient abuse and almost 10 years later, the facility finally shut down for good. But the spirits of those damned to remain never left. Listen tonight as we discuss the history and horrors of Pennhurst Hospital.
