Guilt Trip’s Paranormal Prison episode follows the band through a reported haunted-prison investigation at the Ohio State Reformatory. Read about the bell, the REM-pod and the episode, then find out when new episodes air and how the site connects to Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival.

Paranormal Prison pairs paranormal believers and skeptics to investigate reported activity in the prison.

On the seventh episode of Season 4 of Paranormal Prison, Guilt Trip join hosts Josh Bernstein (The Power Hour, Z2) and Katrina Weidman (Portals to Hell) on a haunted tour of one of the world’s most infamously haunted prisons.

Filmed at the 2026 Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival, a Danny Wimmer Presents event held at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, Paranormal Prison brings true believers and staunch skeptics together with advanced equipment to investigate one central question: Did I just hear what I think I heard?

In this episode, the U.K. metallic hardcore five-piece first head to the area that houses the old, worn-looking toilets, a creepy setting that is also described as a hotbed of paranormal activity.

The dead bell rings, apparently in response to the team’s questions, sometimes before a question is finished. Bassist Lily Kilcoyne gasps after the first ding as the investigation takes an unsettling turn. After a series of unanswered yes-or-no questions, Bernstein suggests going to the freezer room, and another bell ring appears to encourage the team to go there.

The spirit indicates that the team is welcome, and the investigators later learn that the soul’s mortal name was Stan and that he died in his cell. For the first time during the investigation, a REM-pod in the corner lights up, providing another reported sign of activity.

Guitarist Jak Maden says the dead bell presented something undeniable and describes the experience as “interesting.”

Inkcarceration is held at a former prison with a history dating back to the 19th century.

Construction of the prison began in 1886, and the facility operated from 1896 through 1990. The Ohio State Reformatory also appeared in a scene in the classic movie The Shawshank Redemption.
