Danny Wimmer Presents and Loudwire are proud to announce that the hit Rock & Roll Ghost-Hunting show Paranormal Prison is back for Season Three, which premiers today with guests from Five Finger Death Punch. Host Josh Bernstein (The Power Hour, Golden Gods) is back and this season he is honored to be joined by longtime paranormal investigator Katrina Weidman (Portals To Hell w/ Jack Osbourne, Paranormal Lockdown) to take some famous rockstars into the darkest depths of the famed “Shawshank Prison,” the Ohio State Reformatory.
“I am humbled to have Katrina join me for this new season and her expertise and knowledge only enhances the experience of these rockstar hunts.” says Josh Bernstein, Host and Producer of Paranormal Prison, adding “I think we turned more than a few skeptics into true believers inside the walls of the Inkcarcertation Festival.”
Paranormal Prison began at the 2023 Inkcarceration Music and Tattoo Festival and has now become an annual tradition of Josh and Katrina guiding some of the biggest rockstars and skeptics through the abandoned and unsanctioned areas of the Ohio State Reformatory, after-hours. Previous seasons have featured artists from Slipknot, Pantera, Megadeth, Gwar, Halestorm, Shinedown, Machine Head and Anthrax as they experience the haunted history and try to communicate with the dead via our specialized ghost-hunting devices and technology.
“The Ohio State Reformatory is considered one of America’s most haunted locations. From shadow figures, disembodied voices, and scratches materializing on people out of thin air this place is sure to test even the bravest of musicians” shares Katrina Weidman, Host of Paranormal Prison.
Directed by Cyrus Entezam and captured live July 18-20, 2025 during the 2025 Inkcarceration Music and Tattoo Festival, Paranormal Prison Season Three will feature Five Finger Death Punch, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Kittie, Acid Bath, Three Days Grace, Attila, Nothing More, Drain, Alphawolf and a few other surprise celebrities and rockstars.
