Ghost Adventures is a paranormal investigation show that follows a team of ghost hunters as they explore some of the most haunted and notorious locations around the world. In season 2, episode 12, the team heads to Pennsylvania to investigate Pennhurst State School, a former institution for the mentally and physically handicapped that has a dark and troubled history.
The episode begins with the team arriving at Pennhurst, which was opened in 1908 and closed in 1987 after years of reports of mistreatment and abuse of the patients by staff members. As they begin their investigation, they are struck by the eerie atmosphere of the abandoned buildings and the overwhelming feeling that someone or something is watching them.
The team splits up to cover more ground, and the first location they explore is the Mayflower building, which was once a dormitory for the patients. Zak, Aaron, and Nick use their ghost hunting equipment to try and make contact with any spirits that may be present, and they soon start to hear strange noises and see unexplained shadows moving around them.
As they move on to the next building, the team becomes more and more convinced that there is definitely something paranormal going on at Pennhurst. They visit the infirmary, the administration building, and the underground tunnels that once connected the complex, and in each location they find evidence of ghostly activity.
One of the most chilling moments of the episode occurs when Aaron is left alone in one of the rooms, and he suddenly feels a presence behind him. He turns around to find that a steel door that was previously closed is now wide open, even though no one else was in the room with him.
Throughout the investigation, the team uses various ghost hunting tools and techniques to try and capture evidence of any spirits that may be present. They set up cameras and audio recorders, use EMF meters to detect electromagnetic activity, and conduct EVP sessions to try and communicate with any entities that may be lurking in the shadows.
As the night wears on, the team becomes more and more uneasy, and they begin to experience some terrifying and unexplainable incidents. Zak and Nick are both physically touched by an unseen force, and at one point, they hear what sounds like a child's voice coming from one of the rooms.
Despite the fear and uncertainty they feel, the team persists in their investigation, determined to uncover the truth about the haunting at Pennhurst. As they wrap up their nighttime exploration, they review the evidence they have collected and are shocked by what they find.
In the end, the Ghost Adventures team leaves Pennhurst State School with a newfound appreciation for the paranormal activity that exists in this world. They may not have all the answers, but they are certain that something otherworldly is lurking in the halls of this dark and twisted institution.
