Investigation Highlights at Inkcarceration
Filmed during Danny Wimmer Presents' 2026 Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival, the episode brings a humorous, lighthearted energy to the historic site. Outfitted with advanced equipment, the team communicated with resident spirits using a spirit box and a dead bell for binary confirmations.
During the session, vocalist Will Ramos asked the spirit, "Is it pork roll, egg and cheese?" triggering a response from the dead bell and weighing in on New Jersey's regional breakfast debate over Taylor ham versus pork roll. The ghost also signaled familiarity with the television show Jersey Shore and revealed its favorite holiday.
