Destination Fear is a reality show that combines adventure and horror as the team travels to haunted locations across America and spends the night investigating paranormal activity. The team consists of Dakota Laden, his sister Chelsea Laden, their friend Tanner Wiseman, and Alex Schroeder.

In the first episode of season one, the team travels to Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary located in Petros, Tennessee. It was once one of the most high-security prisons in America. Thousands of inmates were detained there for over a century. The prison was officially closed in 2009, but there have been numerous reports of paranormal activity ever since.

Before arriving at their destination, the team sets up camp and prepares themselves for a long night of ghost hunting. They discuss their fears and expectations for the night ahead, and they each share some ghost stories they have heard about Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary.

As they approach the prison, the team is immediately struck by the fortress-like appearance of the institution. They receive a tour of the facility, which was very informative, but it only intensifies their anticipation for what they will experience later on.

As they begin their investigation, they split into two groups. Dakota, Chelsea, and Alex start on the first floor, while Tanner goes alone to explore the prison’s grounds. Dakota explains that on their travels, he and his team leave night vision cameras scattered throughout the building to capture any paranormal activity.

As the investigation progresses, the team is not disappointed. They report odd feelings, unexplained shadows, and footsteps throughout the prison. The team divides and explores different areas of the prison, including the warden's office, the execution chamber, the mess hall, and the solitary confinement area.

As the night deepens, the team members grow increasingly scared. They report numerous instances of paranormal activity, including doors closing and opening on their own, strange noises, voices, and footsteps. The entities and ghosts that they encounter are mostly the former inmates who lived and died within the prison's walls.

The team realizes the seriousness of the situation and decides to communicate with the ghosts. They sit in a circle and try to communicate with the paranormal entities by asking questions and hoping for a response. The team is very careful in their communication approach.

After a few hours, the team concludes their investigation and retreats to their campsite where they talk about their experiences throughout the night. Each member shared their eerie experience and how it affected them.

The episode ends with a sneak peek of the next destination the team will be exploring. The show’s concept of exploring haunted places is full of horror, excitement, and spookiness. Overall, Destination Fear offers an adrenaline-filled experience for both adrenaline junkies and ghost enthusiasts alike.
