In this eighth episode of Season 2 of Paranormal Prison, Chimaira’s Mark Hunter and Matt DeVries are placed between the worlds of skepticism and belief as more unexplained activity is captured on camera.
The two join hosts Josh Bernstein (The Power Hour) and Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin (Sirius XM) and equipment techs Cyrus Entezam and Morgan Rondinella to search for spirits still trapped inside the walls of the Paranormal Prison, with a return trip to the haunted scaffold that claimed the lives of too many.
“I myself do not believe in it in the sense that you would see on TV,” Hunter says of his own views on ghosts and the paranormal. “What we’re doing here today, I’m not sure… I’m way more metaphysical and I believe there’s dimensions. I don’t necessarily believe in hauntings [makes ghost noise] like Casper. I always get that image when someone says ghost, so I don’t go there. But dimensions… I don’t believe this is the only realm,” the vocalist goes on.
DeVries also expresses uncertainty about the unknown, approaching this episode with an open mind.
And it’s a good mindset to have after capturing voice responses and encountering a sudden full battery drain on one of the cameras.

About Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival and Danny Wimmer Presents
Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival is held each year at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield.
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.
Fans are already looking forward to the 2025 installment, which takes place July 18, 29 and 20. The lineup, meanwhile, has yet to be announced, creating even more anticipation.
Inkcarceration is one of many of Danny Wimmer Presents’ premiere festivals. Since it’s formation in 2011, DWP has become a leading promoter in heavy music and beyond, building up the U.S. festival circuit that dominates the spring, summer and fall months.
The DWP festival roster also includes Aftershock, Born & Raised, Bourbon & Beyond, Golden Sky Country Music Festival, Louder Than Life, Rocklahoma, Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville.
