Prison Paranormal: The Ones Who Never Leave and the Bad Luck Doll - An interview with Abigail Hyslop

Published on: 8th May, 2026

What happens to the energy of a place built on violence, fear, isolation… and death?

In this chilling episode of the Pursuit Of The Paranormal Podcast, we dive deep into the terrifying world of haunted prisons and the paranormal phenomena reported behind locked doors and iron bars. Inspired by Abigail Hyslop’s book Prison Paranormal: The Ones Who Never Leave, we explore real-life accounts of ghostly inmates, shadow figures stalking abandoned wings, unexplained screams echoing through empty corridors, and prison staff left questioning what they witnessed.

From notorious executions and inmate suicides to riots, suffering, and psychological torment, prisons may hold some of the darkest residual energy imaginable. But are these hauntings genuine paranormal encounters… or manifestations of trauma trapped within the walls?

Greg & Ash

Pursuit of the Paranormal is where curiosity meets cold spots. Hosted by Greg & Ash, we dive into ghosts, UFOs/UAPs, cryptids, hauntings, and high strangeness with an open mind and a healthy dose of evidence-led thinking. Each week we investigate historic locations, unpack famous cases, and bring on researchers, experiencers, skeptics, scientists, and investigators for unfiltered conversations that challenge what we think we know.
From shadow figures in stately homes to lights in the night sky, we chase the stories, the data, and the people behind them—no clickbait, no fluff, just credible, curious, and occasionally creepy explorations of the unknown. Whether you’re a seasoned investigator, a late-night listener, or just “paranormal-curious,” you’re in good company here.
Hit follow, share your encounters, and join us as we document the unexplained—one case, one interview, one eerie EVP at a time.
