I went here with my mom and some very odd things happened. We went into the chapel and it was very very smoky and one of the doors had a foot print on it and a fire extinguisher was in the middle of the room don’t know what happened but it was weird. Then I was walking down a path and tried to take a photo and my phone would not focus my moms was perfectly clear and you could see down the whole path but not on mine as I started walking I felt extremely sick. The place is beautiful but creepy and there are people watching it so if you go be careful because you could get in trouble

Been inside
I went with my sister her friends, managed to get inside and look around, was on the roof for a bit, nothing out of the ordinary even after dark. Most scary part of trying to get of the slippery roof without dying.

Concept 90/90day stay
I stayed on the grounds for 90 days for alcohol treatment when I was 19yrs old back in 1991. I never experienced any apparitions, sounds or smells. However, I will say this is the creepiest place I have ever been. There is a presence I can not explain like a pressing down. (Oppression) is the best way to put it. It’s everywhere inside outside always present. After being discharged I would sometimes go back for group meetings. When ever you come on the grounds the oppression presents begins and when you leave it feels as if it lifts. After a few times of that I stopped going. Also, I always felt like I was being watched.

Was a patient
I was in Harrisburg State Hospital for 5 years. To say that it's haunted, just doesn't really cut it in my opinion. Like others have said there were footsteps, and apparitions. Personally I've heard and seen both. However what really always spooked me was the tunnels. When I had to go to different places that the weather really didn't allow, I went through the tunnels. When I was down there I always felt like someone was watching me. There are little rooms down there that were being used as storage. Old furniture and things were in the rooms. One time, I saw a shadow in one of them. Scared the bejeezus outta me. Depending on my mood I would just talk to them. I'm crazy so no one thought I was talking to ghosts for real. I would only say something like, "Ok, I'm down here so leave me the he** alone." If I would have to go down there alone I kinda ran but at the same time thought it was a cool feeling. I could go on and on about the different experiences I've had there. But I'll just give a snapshot. There was a man in a window in one of the closed up buildings. He was turn of the century (1900's) clothing and the mustache most men favoured then, I had something in my bedroom, I've seen civil war soldiers...Yeah Harrisburg State Hospital is truly haunted

Worked there.....
Worked there years ago. I slept over one night after working a double shift. They gave me a room on an empty floor that had the old operating room & was said to have a resident friendly ghost. When I was unpacking my bag I clearing heard footsteps come up the hall to my doorway, like the sound someone wearing bedroom slippers. I called out & then I heard the same foot steps hurry away at a fast pace! I didn't sleep a wink.
