"Welcome back everyone to our 25 week long minimum, overnight, paranormal, abandoned and haunted trip around the world. I think were in week 4 and we knew that during this trip we had to make a stop here, this is Pennhurst Insane Asylum just outside of Philadelphia. We have been here a couple of times and we are stood where we ended the last video because he had an incline to come back one more time" Elton points to Corey who has a nervous smile on his face
"Oh thats right" Corbin remembers
"We were stood over there with the thermal camera and there were 2 figures dancing" Corey points to where these figures were
"This place has been confirmed by every investigator that has ever come here, absolutely confirmed to have some form of paranormal activity here" 
"I'm not going to lie to you guys but I already had a funny feeling, like and I don't want to say this just because of where we are, but I feel like tonight we will get a lot of activity and I have a feeling that my mind will be all over the place"
"In what way?" Corey asks me
"Just that so many people died here with mental health issues, some were literally classed as being insane hence the name, but it's going to be busy and loud. I don't feel like anything negative will happen, just more... I don't know how to put it other than busy and loud" I shrug while also scrunching my face up
"Ok, if it gets too much then we will come outside and have a break" Corbin says looking at me also.

Before we go in to the actual building Elton tells us that he has brought in a professional to do a séance with us, this had mix reactions, me I'm just worried  that we will find and talk to something  more sinister. We also meet the woman who will be joining us tonight, Deedra (I'm just going to call her D because I couldn't quite understand what Elton said her name was or if I was hearing correct how you would spell that name. Please let me know if you know)
Still outside we talk to D about the séance, she says it may take a little longer to get answers from the spirts, she asks if it's ok for us to be touched and immediately all the boys pull a face or groan, me on the other hand I don't mind as long as I'm not hurt. D explains that if anyone says no to being touched then they will be singled out and more likely to have something happen to them, like tingles or the chills. After a little chat we all give consent and of course Elton has to bring up demons 
"there isn't a form we need to sign"
"No" D smiles and shakes her head
"I give any demon in this room..." before Elton finishes his sentence D interrupts him
"N n no. We're not dealing with demons" this instantly relaxes me more
"Thank god" Corbin says looking up to the sky "see thats why I like you a lot more than I like Elton" Corbin says to D pointing between her and Elton
"Now Elton tells me you are somewhat a medium?" D looks towards me and I nod my head "ok so that means that the spirits may find it easier to use you to communicate. It also means by the end of the night you are going to feel extremely drained" I nod my head understanding "but if you, and this is for all of you, if you are feeling an attachment then there are something you can say like, you have no right to enter my body, you have no right to follow me home, you have no right to leave the property"
"So not what we used to do and just walk out of the building then do ouija boards at home" I laugh a little
"No definitely not. Pennhurst was a school for the feeble minded and epileptic. Most of the buildings such as the Mayflower Hall were all homes" D continues to talk to us about how many people passed away due to medical practices back in the 1920 and how nowadays we would find the practice back then inappropriate.

It's time to walk in to the building. I walk in between Corey and Corbin as we follow D into a room which now looks like a museum. D then goes over the different equipment and introduces us to a new one... cat balls. Like literal cat toys. She explains that if we leave the balls on the floor then they will go off when they've been touched. Just before it's time for the séance, we walk into a room and straight away I see dolls, and a lot of them
"No, no please no" I whine
"Thea we are getting you over your fear of dolls" Elton says
"That was caused by you remember"
"Ok everyone sit down" D says to us all pointing to the chairs in the room
"I'm not sitting by the dolls" I shake my head. Corey sits on the chair the furthest away from the dolls so I sit on his lap while Corbin sits next to us. The dolls next to him then Brandon then Elton
"One spirit that lives here is William and these are his toys and he doesn't like it when people mess with them" D goes over to the chair to sit both dolls up "oh and just so you know theres a spirit in that one" she points to a doll that honestly looks as if it has no face. I groan feeling really uncomfortable knowing this and also being around this many dolls
"Hypothetically speaking if that doll was to get destroyed what would happen?" Elton asks
"The spirit would be pissed Elton" I shoot my older brother a look
"So would the spirit be gone or what would happen?"
"The spirit would get release and probably follow whoever destroyed it" D replies
"Elton no" I say looking at my brother who is smiling
"Don't destroy the dolls" D sternly says looking at Elton
"No I wont" Elton says in a tone that doesn't make me believe his words. D moves the chair with the dolls on over a little so that Elton can get into the semi circle we have created. He sits down crossing his legs "you wanna sit on the floor Thea?"
"Nope, I'm happy where I am thanks" I reply shaking my head as Corey puts his arm around my waist
"Watch those hands" Elton raises his eyebrow at Corey as I roll my eyes. All the devices are in front of us and D says she prefers to sit on the floor because we would be on the spirits level as they are children and also adults can appear as children, this terrifies me. Now we are ready for the séance
