On the first episode of Season 4 of\u00a0Paranormal Prison<\/a><\/em>, Motionless in White<\/a> guitarist Ricky Olson and drummer Vinny Mauro join hosts Josh Bernstein (The Power Hour<\/em>, Z2) and Katrina Weidman (Portals to Hell<\/em>) on a haunted tour of one of the world’s most infamously haunted prisons.<\/p>\n Filmed at 2026’s Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival<\/a>, a Danny Wimmer Presents event held at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio,\u00a0Paranormal Prison<\/em>\u00a0puts true believers and staunch skeptics together, equipped with advanced equipment that leaves just one question to be answered \u2014\u00a0Did I just hear what I think I heard?<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The first room the group explores is the “toilet room,” a decaying section of the prison that houses rows of uninstalled, dirt-caked commodes and other abandoned pieces of furniture.<\/p>\n Weidman breaks down one of the pieces of gear \u2014 the spirit box (no, not the band) \u2014 which is designed to pick up spiritual interference of radio waves. Olson, however, is already familiar with the device, which he’s used plenty of other times in his own paranormal investigations with his girlfriend. He says he’s had success with\u00a0the spirit box “all the time” and notes how spirits tend to steer the conversation away from the questions he’s directly asking.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Paranormal Confessions of Rock + Metal’s Biggest Stars<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Some of the words and phrases the team appears to have picked up are “relationship,” “stay in the next room,” “…that I’m here” and “Oh, they’re coming.”<\/p>\n Mauro then asks if the spirits are okay with them being in the room. Spoiler alert: they’re not. The drummer, an admitted skeptic, seems a bit spooked by the encounter.<\/p>\n “When I was 7 or 8 years old, I woke up to a little boy in my room. It scared the life out of me,” Olson later tells Bernstein and Weidman, explaining that it’s the root of his curiosity in the paranormal realm.<\/p>\n The investigation continues from there, with visual evidence captured floating around between Olson and Mauro. “I’m with you,” a voice confirms through the spirit box.<\/p>\n Watch below.<\/p>\n All\u00a0eight new episodes of Paranormal Prison will air each Friday at 1PM ET, exclusively on Loudwire’s YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Episode Guide<\/span><\/p>\n Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival is held each year at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield.<\/p>\n Construction began back in 1886 and the prison was operational from 1896 through 1990 and it was also used in a scene in the classic movie, The Shawshank Redemption. While the prison remains open to tourism, the most exciting moment of the year is certainly when the fest rolls into town for a long weekend of rock and metal.<\/p>\n Inkcarceration is one of many of Danny Wimmer Presents’ premiere festivals.
