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 the past Halloween season working in the Mayflower building, 2nd floor and have witnessed the paranormal activity first hand. Over twenty-five years ago, Pennhurst State School and Mental Hospital was closed down due to resident 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. I have written a book bringing the past and present together to not just entertain, but also enlighten.… (mais)

Not the ship which, I am sure has a plethora of it’s own mists and orbs but a Mayflower with a much more defined identity. The Mayflower building of the infamous Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, PA. Originally called the Eastern Pennsylvania State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic, it closed in 1987 amid accusations of abuse and a hit TV report called “Suffer the Little Children.”
However, it appears the children (and adults) who occupied the several buildings that made up Pennhurst are still there in part. Each year the Pennhurst Asylum Haunted House brings thousands into the damp, drafty sites and lets folks see what they can see. Or not see, depending on the spectres’ moods. If you are a fan of “Ghost Hunters”, “Ghost Adventures” and the like you have been inside and seen what these people travel miles to see for themselves: the place is haunted.
In order to properly research Pennhurst, the author spent a season as a guide dressed as an orderly. She saw, heard and was told many specific things while working and even had a visitor or two follow her home possibly. All she knows is that she had nothing on her property and, after a few weeks at Pennhurst, photos showed orbs and shadows in her front yard. She didn’t put them there.
All in all, this was an interesting first person account of the paranormal. There are grammatical issues here and there but, overall it was good. Scary? Not really but very informative and, if you’re a paranormal fan I would definitely add this to my library. ( )

The stories within this book are extremely compelling. I couldn't stop turning the pages because I wanted to see what was going to happen next. I find ghost stories fascinating, so I was instantly hooked! The only major problem I saw was that the author kept switching between past and present tense in her writing. That irked me as it took me out of the story each time it happened. ( )
