Ep. 148: Detective Doobius: The Pennhurst State School and Hospital WITH SPECIAL GUEST SARA


Listen Later

This week we went to our guest Sara’s home state of Pennsylvania to explore the history and mystery of Pennhurst State School and Hospital. Although it’s a, to some uncomfortable, Halloween attraction now, the campus used to house over 3,000 residents with disabilities of all kinds. They were not, however, treated well. Are the spirits people see in the facility now those of patients who never left? We really hope not, and pray that it’s all just silly, catcalling ghost hunters making things up and throwing things at each other. Come listen as we scare ourselves and learn more about this Pennsylvania spooky spot!
