scary places in PA?

[revenant]

My friends and I have been on a ghost kick lately and we're looking for some scary places to check out in southeastern PA. The community center we work out at is supposedly haunted and tonight the janitor left the door that seperates the weight room from the rest of the place open so we figured we'd check the place out at night. There's supposed to be a sub-basement with tunnels that run for miles to a nearby river which were used as part of the underground railroad at one point in time. Anyway we were looking around for a while and conluded that the boarded up door we discovered on the first floor must lead to the basement. Not wanting to break into anything, we set our sites on the attic, supposedly where a former resident of the place died. So we end up back in the hallway near where the boarded up basement door was. As I'm slowly leading the way up the steps I look back towards my friends and notice that the door we had walked through and left open like 10 minutes before was slowly starting to close behind us. So we quick jump down the steps and grab it just before it locks us in. That door was open for 10 minutes without even moving, but it closes behind us....weird. It turned out that attic was locked so we next we headed into the locker room. There's this one door with no knob or handle, just a key hole. So my one friend pounds on it a few times for whatever reason, but then the damn thing started to slowly open... We quick tried to grab it once the shock wore off, but it closed tight and locked just before I could get my hands on it. So we didn't see any ghosts or things like that, just had a couple freaky experiences. Anyway now were hooked and really wanna go check out some more creepy places where we can roam around freely. Anyone know any good spots besides Pennhurst?

Pick up a 'Weird Pennsylvania' or 'Weird New Jersey' book. They both have some good places to check out.

I dont know if this place is the same, but ive heard of a place (also a covered bridge) where you turn your head lights off and drive through it at night and when you emarge the other side of the bridge there are baby hand prints on the sides of the car. Ill try to find the name of it.

Come to chester county, there is a stone railway underpass near my house that has a legend that a woman hung herself there and it has been haunted ever since. Its one of those tunnels that is so dark that even in the day you have to put your lights on. Some people say the rope she hung herself with is still there....

you guys should camp near it and check it out.

check out my garage. The location of the white car pic IS a scary place.

done it numerous times and still havn't seen or heard anything. Ever been on sawmill road? "The gates of hell"...? Its creepy back there. One day me and a friend were in another friends truck bed on halloween goin down that road, and it was SCARY! I mean like...wolves howling and sh*t. And I've heard stories about the old mansion that is now torn down, like kids would go up there, and get stoned thrown at them, and hear little kids laughing and stuff.

It's referred to as "Cry Baby Bridge." I couple of people I used to work with back in HS claimed that they went there and you can hear babies crying (tf???). When they left, they claimed to have found baby hand prints on their bumpers.

an abondoned church sounds pretty creepy, do you know if you can get into it or is it all locked up? We're looking for an old building where we can just roll up and get into without to much trouble. I'll keep up the google'n

[Scapegoat]

so, you set yourself up mentally to expect ghosts, and other creepy stuff. Then doors close...oooooo scary :p

[Intercooled T]

scary is walking through West Trenton at night with a rolex on...lol

If you want to take a ride, over in Medford NJ they do "Jersy Devil" trips into the pine barrans. I noticed it while I was reading our local sales & events paper. I will probably do it this year seeing how come March I will be living in Florida.

Gravity hill, not sure where its at, im sure someon can help me out with the details. Apparently you drive down a hill and then pout the car in neutral and it sucks you back up. Then there is also byberry mental hospital in northeast philly.

I heard a rumor that one of these local shut down looney bins has pressure operated switches on the inside of cells that close and lock doors behind you. More specifically, that the state gov't goes in and cleans out bodies annually.
