I watched the various ghost hunting shows when they visited the Pennhurst State School and Mental Hospital. This large complex of buildings was a veritable horror show when it was open and now it's so haunted that hundreds of people who have toured the complex have photographic and video proof.
The author of this book worked during the Halloween season several nights a week for several weeks in the Mayflower building at Pennhurst. She saw, felt and heard things that she can't explain and she shares with the readers her excitement and fear. I felt as though I were right alongside her as she saw people scream and run out of the building after experiencing a jab from an invisible needle or watch a man shaped shadow float around the common room.
What I really loved was that the author did some research on Pennhurst when it was opened so she could share with her readers the unbelievable neglect and abuse of children that their whole lives in this environment. This made me realize that such extreme pain and emotion left behind something that isn't quite dead nor quite alive.
If you are an avid ghost enthusiast as I am I highly recommend this book.
