The Story
Ghost Research Society investigators describe shadow forms in Pennhurst's tunnels and children's voices in Mayflower Hall's playroom. Their guide recalled a forceful unseen voice in the Philadelphia tunnels. Other reports concern moved furniture and closing doors. These are paranormal accounts about a former institution, distinct from the site's staged Halloween attraction.
