Plot:

The 10-episode series takes the viewers on a ride-along with Dakota Laden,  Chelsea Laden, and, Tanner Wiseman. The trio hop on their RV and try to visit some of the most haunted places in the United States where fear is deafening for some. However, there is a twist in their adventure. Only Dakota knows the place they will be visiting while Chelsea and Tanner are kept in the dark.

Dakota Laden,  Chelsea Laden, and, Tanner Wiseman head the cast of the show. Dakota always had an interest in making videos but very soon into it, he realized that videos of the paranormal activities are what he loved doing the most. He then started making videos of places that were assumed to be haunted. He started his own YouTube channel which also caught the attention of  Zak Bagans from 'Ghost Adventures' and this bagged him a chance to become a part of the group. 

He then made a  paranormal documentary, "Trail to Terror," with his sister Chelsea and best friend Tanner. Chelsea, on the other hand, loves the thrill she gets when she is visiting such abandoned places. As much as she loves the adrenaline rush, she also loves to learn more about the places she visits. Tanner too shared similar interests like the brother and sister duo. Tanner was often interested in listening to ghost stories and would plan trips to visit haunted houses with his friend.

The three of them decided to become a team and set on their own adventure of paranormal activities.
