The Haunting True Story of Pennhurst
Manage episode 511392838 series 3645854
Haunted attraction profit on fear. But sometimes the most chilling horrors don’t come with actors or props—they come from the truth-which can be far darker than anything scripted. In this episode of Koltergeist, we reveal the horrifying truth behind Pennhurst Asylum-a place where disabled people were stripped of their dignity, dehumanized, and endured unimaginable horrors.
