In Episode 8 of Paranormal Prison Season 2, Chimaira’s Mark Hunter and Matt DeVries step into the eerie Ohio State Reformatory, confronting the mysterious realm between skepticism and belief. The episode showcases some of the clearest paranormal activity captured this season, with unexplained phenomena that challenge even the most doubtful minds.
Joining hosts Josh Bernstein (The Power Hour), Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin (Sirius XM), and tech experts Cyrus Entezam and Morgan Rondinella, the Chimaira members investigate reports of restless spirits lingering in the prison. They revisit a haunted scaffold infamous for its grim history of executions.
Mark Hunter, known for his critical perspective, approaches the experience with curiosity. “I don’t believe in ghosts the way they’re shown on TV,” he explains. “I see it more as dimensions rather than hauntings.” Meanwhile, DeVries keeps an open mind, which proves valuable when the team encounters mysterious voice responses and sudden equipment failures, such as a fully charged battery inexplicably draining mid-investigation.
