Biography[]
1.10[]
in 2011, Travis and Winston were paranormal investagators who ran a website called Ghost Slayers. They tracked down Shane related to them his cousin's tale of farmer Nick. Buckley and Travis visited the house which had symbols of different origins fleshy painted on the walls and floor. Despite their research, they were unable to find anything to support Nick's legend. They prepared to leave when they hear that the previous night, a girl died in the house hung from the rafters. They returned to the house but were chased out by the spirit of Nick. Travis noticed Nick has slit wrists, something not previously part of his legend. Discovering Shane made farmer Nick up as a prank. Travis suggested that Nick was a Tulpa, a manifestation of a thought as one of the symbols painted is a Tibetan spirit sigil, which assist in concentrating mental energy. In order to kill Nick, Buckley and Travis put on their website that shooting him with iron rounds will kill him. They returned to the house to kill Nick but the iron rounds wouldn't work. Travis checked the website to find the server crashed so the new legend didn't manifest. As Nick attacked them, Buckley set the house on fire, figuring that without that part of the legend, Nick wouldn't exist.
Ghostslayers[]
In 2013, Travis and Winston decided to turn their website into a reality TV series. They recruited Austin, Winston's adopted sister Brittany and Dustin for their pilot. Their jobs were flexible enough for them to start ghost hunting at 6:00. Their first ghost is John, a survivalist who in died in 1971 and appears in a building he worked as a janitor in every four years and kills whoever is inside. The crew broke into the building where they witnessed a previous victim reliving their death. They worked out it was a death echo and not the real threat. Travis and Dustin disappeared and the group failed to get out the house before midnight, trapping them in the house for the evening. Travis and Dustin were held captive by John who killed Dustin with a spike through the neck and put a party hat on Travis.
Buckley found the bomb shelter before John killed Travis with the spike. John attacked them both before Austin got Dustin out of his death echo and Dustin fought John, killing him and moving on.
