Together, they embark on a quest to uncover the lingering spirits that may still inhabit the confines of the Paranormal Prison.

With courage and an open heart, the guitarist ventures into one of the prison’s smaller cells located in the west cell block, as well as the notorious shower room, known for its particularly violent history that haunts this location.
