In Paranormal Lockdown season 2 episode 2, the team heads to Shrewsbury Prison in Shropshire, England. This prison, which was in operation from 1793 to 2013, has a dark history with reports of inhumane treatment of prisoners and numerous deaths from violence and suicide. The team, consisting of Nick Groff and Katrina Weidman, will spend 72 hours locked in the prison to investigate the paranormal activity.
As soon as they enter the prison, Nick and Katrina feel uneasy and hear unexplained noises. They begin their investigation in the Condemned Cell, where prisoners were kept before their execution. In this cell, they hear strange whispers and both feel a heavy weight on their chests. Nick also experiences a burning sensation on his arm, leaving a strange mark.
The team then moves on to the Chapel, where they hear ghostly singing and see shadow figures. They also investigate the Women's Wing, where female prisoners were held separately from male prisoners. Here, they feel the presence of a female ghost who is said to have killed herself after giving birth to a stillborn child. They capture unexplained EVPs and even catch a glimpse of the ghost on their thermal camera.
Throughout the investigation, the team utilizes various equipment, including thermal cameras, EMF meters, and spirit boxes. They also use a technique called the Estes Method, where they wear noise-cancelling headphones and rely on a voice box to pick up any spirit communication. This technique yields some of the most compelling evidence of the episode.
As the investigation progresses, Nick and Katrina both feel increasingly overwhelmed by the negative energy of the prison. They start to experience physical symptoms, including dizziness and headaches. However, they remain determined to uncover the truth about the paranormal activity in the prison.
In the final night of the investigation, the team spends time in the punishment block, where prisoners were subjected to solitary confinement and other forms of punishment. Here, they capture some of the most disturbing evidence of the episode, including a voice that says "get out" and a shadow figure that appears in the cell with them.
The episode culminates in the team presenting their evidence to a panel of experts. They reveal the stange mark on Nick's arm and play back their most compelling EVPs. The experts are impressed by the amount of evidence the team has gathered and agree that there is definitely something paranormal happening in Shrewsbury Prison.
Overall, the episode is a chilling and eerie investigation of one of England's most haunted locations. Nick and Katrina are able to capture some fascinating evidence and shed light on the dark history of the prison.
