Madison Laden (Destination Fear)

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

After the dream I had, I've been having trouble sleeping. No more nightmares, I've just been extremely restless. I'm scared of whatever caused that dream and I don't want to see it again. Which is why Dakota got in contact with two well known psychics and set up a chance for me to talk with them after this road trip. 

I walk out of the bathroom after getting dressed and sit down beside Alex on the couch. We had stopped a little while ago to let Tanner talk to the camera about his location before getting back on the road. 

"I feel like you have something up your sleeve. Can you give us a hint?" Dakota asks. "Well the most number of deaths at a location so far has been 10,000... this place has more." Tanner responds. "What?" I ask. "More?" Chelsea asks, also shocked. "Okay let me guess... 12,000?" 

"No." "15,000?" Chelsea asks. "20,000" Alex asks. "Bingo!" Tanner exclaims, smiling while we all look horrified. "I picked this one because I am scared of this building and I wanted to challenge all of us." he tells us. "I'm gonna challenge you with my fist in a minute." I say to him. They all laugh at my threat before Dakota says, "You're really trying to kill us at the end." "I might be trying to kill you in about 10 minutes. We're going to climb a cliff and then go on a suspension bridge 200 feet long with a 150 foot drop." "I am actually going to hit you now." I respond, making them all laugh. 

"Heights are not our strong suit Tanner." Chelsea says. "No. Why are heights being brought up like every freaking pit stop? I hate heights." Dakota asks rhetorically. "We need to take control of our fear because our next location might take control of us." Tanner says before we pull up outside of the park place. 

We get harnessed up with the help of a worker before he takes us on an atv to the cliff we have to climb to get to the bridge. He tells us to always have one clip attached to the rope before we start our climb. 

After about 20 minutes, we finally reach the bridge and my anxiety spikes instantly. "Okay, so we're all going to go across and back." Tanner tells us. "We should just go back down." Dakota says, "I second that motion." I say. "How about I go first?" Tanner suggests. "Yeah, good idea, then we can all just turn around and leave you up here by yourself." I say. Tanner gives me a look while the other laugh before putting the gopro on his helmet and walking across before coming back. 

Chelsea goes next and immediately Tanner is chuckling as she inches her way across. "Don't laugh at me!" she yells. "We're not, we're cheering you on!" Tanner says. "Let's go Chels! You got this!" Dakota yells to her. "Shut up! I don't need a cheerleader!" Eventually, she makes her way back and Alex is up next. 

After Alex is Dakota, after Dakota, I'm last. Dakota attaches the camera to my helmet and says, "Good luck." before moving out of my way. I take my first step on the bridge and I'm terrified. I make it about halfway before I hear, "Hey Madi!" Right before I can respond, the bridge starts to bounce. I scream. "What the fuck?! Who's doing that?" 

All I hear is Tanner laughing, giving me my answer. I walk the rest of the way across before turning around and making my way back. As soon as I get back on solid ground, I land a solid punch to Tanner's arm. "Ow!" "You deserved that, dude." Dakota tells him. He just shrugs before we make our way back down the cliff for the packet read.
