10 Most Dangerous State Hospitals Hiding in Pennsylvania That Even Locals Avoid

The 10 Worst State Institutions in Pennsylvania History (suggested) Pennsylvania built a system of state hospitals — then knocked almost all of them down. Ten institutions, ranked not by ghost stories but by the specific number of years the state kept each one open after somebody documented what was happening inside. Byberry was photographed in 1946 and ran until 1990. Polk was exposed by parents in 1973 and ran until 2022. Laurelton operated eighty-five years with its purpose printed on its letterhead. Only one was closed by force, and that took a landmark federal court order that had never been issued anywhere in America.
