It's spooky season and Pennhurst Asylum offers overnight paranormal investigations, team paranormal investigations, daytime tours, site rentals, and three haunted house elements including: Pennhurst Asylum, The Morgue, and The Tunnels for a frightening experience.
Did you know that Pennhurst Asylum was even mentioned in season four of Netflix’s sci-fi horror series, Stranger Things? Series creators, the Duffer Brothers introduce the Pennhurst Asylum to viewers of the Emmy winning show. The asylum served as a fictitious location mimicking the Pennhurst State School and Hospital where teenage sleuths of the show pretend to be female psychology students with motives to investigate the center.
Pennhurst's newest attraction, Mayflower After Dark, serves as a museum open for history and paranormal investigations. Guests will experience an array of Pennhurst artifacts that were left behind taking them back to what life was like living with mental and emotional challenges.
Aside from the thrilling aspects of this haunted attraction, Pennhurst will be hosting major giveaways as part of a hiring initiative where employees can win prizes such as seven night all-inclusive Royal Caribbean Cruises, 65' 4K TVs, surround sound systems, and merchandise at the end of the season. Employees enjoy complimentary trips to other haunted attractions during group outings with the Pennhurst staff, as well as on site pumpkin carving parties, pre-show potlucks, and ice cream socials.
Ticket office hours run Friday and Saturday 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sunday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit their website and follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Pennsylvania Has 8 Haunted Hotels That Will Give You Nightmares
Welcome to the spooky season. Of course, there are plenty of great haunted houses and haunts in Pennsylvania, but what about some actual haunted hotels? We have those, too.
I did some digging and found a great article via OnlyinYourState.com that names eight haunted hotels in the Keystone State. I knew we had a few, but having eight haunted hotels makes Pennsylvania the perfect state to celebrate Halloween. "If you are partial to ghost stories, haunted tales, and spooky happenings, a little paranormal activity might be just what your overnight getaway needs," OnlyinYourState.com says in the article. "And, if you’re tired of the generic hotel experience, you’re in luck. Look no further. Below you’ll find a list of some of the most haunted hotels in Pennsylvania. Even if you don’t encounter a ghost — and you very well might — you'll leave with some fascinating tales to tell."
I'm actually pretty easily scared, so a real-life ghost story would most likely scare me off from an overnight stay, unless I was with something who could talk sense into me. Either way, I really think all of these hotels look interesting- almost historical. Read on for eight haunted hotels in Pennsylvania via OnlyinYourState.com and find more information on all of the hotels here. It's worth noting that most of these hotels don't claim to be haunted, so there are no guarantees that you'll run into Casper during your stay. But, it's still a fun idea, if you're into ghost hunting or that sort of activity.
Aaron Burr House, New Hope
This hotel looks quaint and beautiful, despite the rumors that it's haunted!
Wedgwood Inn Bed & Breakfast, New Hope
That only thing better than a haunted hotel is a haunted bed and breakfast, right?
Historic Hotel Bethlehem
What's cool about this spot is that there's a lot of rich history behind the Historic Hotel Bethlehem.
Cashtown Inn, Orrtanna
When I think of a haunted inn, for some reason, the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Psycho" comes to mind. Great movie.
The Gettysburg Hotel
There are many tales of Gettysburg itself being haunted, so it's no surprise that The Gettysburg Hotel is possibly haunted, too.
The Inn at Jim Thorpe
This is a lovely inn, if you ignore the ghosts. Just kidding- we don't really know if there are ghosts here.
The Railroad House Inn, Marietta
Of course a railroad hotel could be haunted, because there's nothing creepier than a haunted railroad. It's very vintage. They also have a great restaurant.
Omni Bedford Springs Resort, Bedford
The Omni Bedford Springs Resort is a very popular destination, and the bonus is that around Halloween, you can tell yourself that you're visiting a truly haunted spot.
