**Dr. Connor Bret Graham, PhD** (born May 29, 1999) is an American rapper-singer and former therapist from Thomasville, North Carolina known professionally as **Tha Ghost.**

Ghost was the leader of Young Rich Nation (YRN) from February 2021 until June 27, 2021 when he'd become overthrown by his administration over the negligence regarding the YRN-PTO war, his unintentional role in the suicide of his little brother Midnight, and the own personal interests of his sole-surviving brother Nightmare, and his right-hand man Papa Brix.

Tha Ghost was the well-known frontman and lead singer behind the Graham Triangle, and was the most acclaimed and successful of the Graham Brothers, having held numerous accomplishments, trophies and being in the Thomasville Arts 'Hall of Fame' from 2019-2022, in which he would become a permanent icon in the 'Legends' wall set for January 20, 2023. **Ghost is widely regarded as one of the greatest underground musicians of North Carolina.**

He'd became semi-retired as a musician after the passing of his brother Mr. Bullet on March 17, only having sporadic musical contributions up until December 14, 2021 after amends with Madd Nightmare were made, and the two brothers made their own full-returns to music having signed off on the new label, Young Grown Nation (YGN) with Ghost becoming slightly more active, only to retire for good after Nightmare's overdose and death on August 26, 2022.

*Ghost was arrested and indicted with first-degree murder on March 23, 2023, after the fatal shooting at a music-video recording that left 14 year old Lil Soulnexx dead, and 7 people in the hospital. He was found not-guilty for his involvement in the shooting, based on self-defense. He made his comeback to music with the May 2023 album 'Hear my Cry by Sundown'.*

## Role in YGN

Tha Ghost primarily served as a counselor and moral-support for his YGN peers, often being their own complementary therapist, and frequent advisor; his role as advisor was most successful towards the administration of both YGN Squadz, YGN Knucklz and YGN Dripmasterz, as Ghost would help steer their directions properly, and often times he was credited for repairing relationship problems with Squadz and Knucklz, along with Drip and Kaige, which had worked for a decent amount of time.

He'd been credited for saving many lives in the YGN, often remotivating the downed Squadz, Kaigez, Knucklz, Dripmasterz, and on some occasions KGlockz and Sinnerz. His high-expertise in psychology was what helped power together the YGN morally, and he also helped virtually anyone who came to him in DM's or person complimentary, giving the YGN a great boost in its morale.

After being fired as a real-life therapist in 2021 over the Laven Wise conflicts, he continued to still give out advice and counseling as usual, but without the ability to proscribe medication and other certified actions of an official therapist, though he still had the knowledge and training to continue, he seemingly dropped it ultimately with Madd Nightmare's death in August 2022, leaving Ghost's role in YGN as a background character, with a future awaiting answers.

Ghost was appointed the director of music-video production shortly after his January 2023 retirement from music, and held that role until his arrest in the killing of Lil Soulnexx, though it's unclear if he'll be found guilty or not.

## History

### Childhood (1999 - 2012)

Connor Bret Graham was born on May 29, 1999 to Bret Joel Graham (1977 - 2021) and Leslie Rhonda Harris-Graham, in Thomasville, North Carolina. His childhood was stable and if-not privileged, as Connor had gotten nearly everything he'd wanted in his youth, due to his parents strong, unconditional love towards him.

Beginning school in July 2004, he was a sociable, kind child, but as the years grew, he'd find himself unable to maintain an official friendship with any classmates, as he'd been moving up in grades, and none of the students being too interested in keeping the friendship long after they stopped sharing the same classroom. On August 12, 2001, he was welcomed with a little brother, Bradley Harris Graham. Then, on September 5, 2003, twins were brought into the family, Dennis Clifford and Richard Joel Graham.

Connor was often the center of attention in the family, given he was the first of a generation, and the "model child" to both his parents, and his three brothers, who would grow to become more inspired by him in their youth. It wasn't until later, that their inspiration of him would become forced, as the Graham Brothers would soon become infuriated with their lack of success and attempts at fitting in Connor's shoes, due to their talent both academic and hobby being far inferior to Connor, who was an honor's student.

Throughout class, he'd always maintained high-grades, being on the honor roll, and would join the choir team at school, and having been raised in a Christian family, often was in the church choir. This was met with amazed reactions, as the family were beyond impressed with Connor's vocals, and often times his artwork when drawing would be framed on the refrigerator.

He'd then begin playing football around 2010, as he began middle-school. Around this time, he'd meet Joshua Griener, who'd become Young Vibez later on. Josh was offering to share a pop-tart with Connor on the school bus, and this would lead to conversation, and later a close friendship. Then, shortly after, he'd meet Dwight Connors, later Papa Brix. The two had their own triangle of friendship, and would hang out extremely frequently. Josh's little brother, Anthony, was often a tag-along, and would more frequently hang with Connor's three younger brothers, mostly the twins, due to their closer age.

Ghost suffered from depression as he began his teenage years, though in his growing environments, his father had always lived in the era where depression is exaggerated, and that Ghost needed to simply "be a man". This hindered him into repressing his emotions for a majority of his life.

##### 'Tha Ghost' is Born (Early 2014)

After a long interest in music, now a tenor one in high-school choir, he'd taken interest in recording his own music. He'd make many freestyles and covers up until this point, but it wasn't until around February-April 2014, that he'd record his very own solo, titled 'ghost.mp3'. This solo, which was for the longest time a "long-lost song" would later reemerge in 2022, after the computer containing the .mp3 file would be repaired, long enough to retrieve the song and give it a proper release on April 4, 2022 as 'Ghosts'.

Upon recording ghost.mp3, Connor would show off the song after downloading it to an .mp3 player and it was met with many classmates in high-school giving Connor positive feedback, although some criticized it for the croaky voice, and the edgy tone. He was proud of this solo, and would go on to record multiple other songs, while Josh and Dwight joined in. Problems soon began, as Connor cited that Josh was a "better singer" and then would become jealous due to his own life being set on the idea he was the better musician, and that all his life, he'd been good at everything but what he'd really wanted; music.

Despite this, the three continued to make music together, having a homemade band and recording covers primarily as their means of music, given neither Josh or Dwight were entirely as interested in becoming professional musicians, which also brought spite towards Connor, who felt that because Josh was so talented, he shouldn't waste his potential at the least, as Connor felt he could never reach that milestone, yet Josh did so and was quick to dispose of what Connor had wanted for so long. This built up one-sided tensions towards Josh.

Connor would graduate from high-school in 2017, and then made his rounds in community-college to obtain his associates in psychology, and would begin working at The Blend Coffeeshop upon opening sometime before 2019, a place where he was cited to have collected most of his ideas and lyrics, in order to fund the college tuition, although his parents partially funded it.

He chose the name 'Tha Ghost', pronounced "The Ghost" or "Tie Ghost" depending on the person, sometime in 2016.

##### Graham Triangle Forms (September 2018)

In September 2018, Ghost felt the need to grow his now steady music-career, which had achieved a decent fanbase at the time, by making a huge, drastic move that he felt could boost him into a stance that was over Josh and Dwight. Seeing his three little brothers, all of whom had always looked up to him, he invited them to join him in music and start out a band; both Brad and Dennis agreed happily, but Ricky refused, as he wasn't interested in singing, and felt more into being a producer.

Brad and Dennis debuted on September 12, 2018 with the song 'On my Watch', originally Ghost was supposed to be on the song, but insisted it be just the two of them, now Mr. Bullet and Madd Nightmare, would do better entering the music business together. Soon, the three formed the Graham Triangle which would be a brother-band, where Bullet and Nightmare had been trained by Ghost to use instruments, but they didn't initially begin their music with instrumentals, and instead used beats online to record over, up until 2020.

The Graham Triangle had swept over Thomasville with massive acclaim, having been invited to hold many shows and perform in parks, bars and other places from time/time, and the three brothers would soon bond strongly; Bullet and Nightmare were overjoyed to be in Ghost's wing, something they had all aspired since their childhood.

##### Graham Triangle's Growth (September 2018 - February 2020)

With both Bullet and Nightmare on the right page, the G.T was set for a load journey to stardom. Ghost was the lead-singer of the band, having been coined this position due to his mastery of music and his status as the eldest of the three. They would adopt a British-Style of music in the early months of 2019, notably from February - April, and while Nightmare had abandoned the British style entirely, it'd briefly reemerge in 2021 among Ghost and Bullet, only to be abandoned for good in May.

The style would vary, but due to Ghost's lack of ability to scream, screech and growl in his music, both Bullet and Nightmare would compensate in songs that would be best suited to do so, while Ghost would sing primarily sad, loving or psychotic songs; he was considered the "man who could do it all" when it came to styles, even being fairly skilled in rapping, and rhythmic genius.

Ghost met Abby Sanderson in early 2019 in college, and she'd been interested in photography and travelling the world to do so, but her personality was very close to Ghost. They began dating sometime by April, and although Ghost was disinterested in long-term travelling, he'd considered finding a work around, and after seeing the mark the brothers made in North Carolina, she slowly began to interest herself in remaining in her native state, and would later pursue nursing.

Around April-May, he began having personal rifts with Josh, which would also include Dwight who'd back up Josh over the rifts. This rift was becoming a non-violent, yet semi-heated beef that would leave Ghost, along with his innocent brothers, out of upcoming events at the time involving Josh, which had stained their friendship even worse. Despite all of the rifts, neither had blocked nor unfollowed/unfriended the other on any form of social media, implying they were still friends, just distant over personal drama.

Then, it became even more over the top, yet still remaining non-violent and keeping the same previously mentioned condition on social-media, when Josh, now Young Vibez, would form the Young Rich Nation with his new bestfriend, Nicholas King, aka Young Squadz. Dwight, who was then YRN Brix, had joined the YRN over affiliating with Ghost, meaning it was now the Graham Bros vs YRN.

##### Graham Triangle VS Young Rich Nation arc (February 12, 2020 - November 10, 2020)

The Graham Triangle would engage in a neutral-warm competition against the newly developed YRN, and Ghost was determined to show Vibez and Brix who was the true talent. YRN was lead by both Young Vibez and Young Squadz, and the administration (both three who also co-founded YRN) consisted of Anthony, who was now Lil Juvie, J.C Woods, aka King Tweaky and Robin Cox, aka Ashy Robin. Although both Anthony (initially) and Robin held friendly terms with Ghost and his brothers, Tweaky was immediately resentful and hostile towards them, taking in a fierce effort to ensure the YRN was the dominant force.

The competition between the rap-collective YRN vs the band Graham Triangle was ruthless, though the Triangle held many leads against the highly outnumbering YRN, with hits throughout 2020. Although the G.T and YRN were beefing, all of the G.T showed genuine remorse towards the YRN over the losses of both Ashy Robin and King Tweaky.

The "war" took a turn for Ghost and the G.T's, as Vibez, the leading face in the "conflict" was arrested on June 30, 2020 after discharging a firearm at BLM protesters. Although Vibez was the co-leader of YRN and the main reason for the feud, the competition continued, especially as Lil Juvie, now Juvie Kidd, was even more popular and brought in many more fans towards YRN than Ghost or his brothers could pull off on their own, and the feud now focused primarily on the YRN itself rather than Vibez and the YRN.

The YRN would be crippled by a severe civil-war, in which loyalists to Juvie would support his effort in repressing potentially successful faces, contrasting the purpose of YRN to help aspiring artists blossom; this lead to fights, scandals and other drama with YRN members, new admin Lil Foxy fought against the rebellious and loyalists of YRN, standing by Young Squadz' side in attempt to bring order into the YRN with violence, King Tweaky's death, a co-leader in jail and the other struggling mentally, and the beef with Lil Frosty meant even more problems that skyrocketed YRN to the bottom with its productivity declining severely.

These problems meant good news for the G.T, although Bullet had expressed his concerns to Ghost about if the competition was appropriate with the unfair advantage held over the YRN. Ghost had reluctantly agreed the conflict was getting out of hand, and everyone presumed the YRN's collapse was imminent. This being said, Ghost went to visit Vibez in jail in late October 2020, met with many shocks, though the drama with the YRN left most forgetting the G.T beef even existed, and the problems were finally beginning to settle after Lil Frosty succeeded in a takeover of YRN and enforcing order in the label quickly under his ownership.

Ghost and Vibez had a good laugh about how far their drama had came, Ghost, Bullet and Nightmare all held deep condolences to the lost YRN once again, and agreed to a treaty, and concepted the idea of working alongside one-another, but this was never fully established during the visit.

On October 27, 2020, during a new plan to boost the G.T to the max, they decided for their new song 'Traumatic Past' to feature lead vocals from Ricky, who reluctantly was pressured into the song, as he'd never had any music experience before, to top the fact he had absolutely no interest in singing, but he did so, shocking many to hear the unique vocals from Cyanidal (the working name for Ricky at the time).

#### Death of Young Vibez & YRN Takeover (November 10, 2020 - February 2021)

On November 10, 2020, Vibez had been released from jail due to Frosty's government ties, in exchange for security work, one of which was to relocate YGN Dripmasterz from Tennessee back into North Carolina, his home-state so he could participate in YRN activities. During the trip, a failed robbery-hit orchestrated by Laven Wise to kill Vibez and Squadz (the latter of whom was not in the car at the time) and topple the YRN. Vibez and admin Lil Foxy were killed, and the G.T were devastated, going as far as to be at Vibez' funeral.

After the funeral, Ghost had expressed condolences to Squadz, and the two got on the topic of letting the G.T be in the YRN, with aims to lead the crew and honor Vibez' legacy. They weren't immediately in power, as Squadz had been pending retirement by September 2021 so he could settle down with his long-distance girlfriend Keri, who anticipated a move to NC, and Squadz was too heartbroken to run the YRN like he used to. Ghost's threat to the throne stood the mentally-unhinged Juvie Kidd, who was snapped by the murder of his brother, who was killed right in front of him, and Juvie himself was severely injured in the shooting itself, with respiratory issues restraining his rapping and singing itself, further damaging him.

Juvie was the heir to the YRN leadership due to him being Vibez' brother, and his past as the star attraction of the label, while Ghost wanted to honor Vibez by repairing the YRN itself and continuing the YRN as a legacy to Vibez. This would only be settled in a vote; the results had ended with Ghost being the selected heir to the YRN leadership, and the G.T's, along with Ricky, were to become the new administration in an announcement on January 20th.

An audition track for the Graham's to promote their campaign was released through February 3-4 2021, with Ricky becoming Madd Midnight to match his twin brother, Madd Nightmare in stage-name, and releasing his first official solo titled Fuck Life. Nightmare would release Bleedin' Out, while Bullet and Ghost's were never publicly released, but they all four created SoundCloud accounts to advertise their new, developing careers.

Although they were to take over upon Squadz' retirement, this role unexpectedly shifted on Valentine's of 2021, as Squadz discovered Keri was now dating someone else, despite their agreement to stay single as they had previously taken a break. (Squadz later recanted her was happy to be rid of her anyways, as the relationship was depriving).

With this being said, Ghost became leader of the Young Rich Nation on February 15, 2021, and Bullet, Nightmare and Midnight were the new administration, with childhood friend YRN Brix now becoming promoted to an admin rather than lead member, renamed Papa Brix, and Morgan Fox, the older sister of recently slayed YRN admin Lil Foxy had been signed off to immediately become an admin, thus the roster was strong and near perfect.

Because of Juvie's recent troubles and interference with the elections, a deal was made that if he wins the election, he would remain in the YRN as the new leader, which stemmed fears he'd wipe out the entire roster and revamp it with his own desires and ruin it, however, Juvie losing the election resulted in Young Squadz exiling him, and while Squadz retired as leader, he became co-owner of YRN alongside Lil Frosty, both of whom managed the YRN and allowed Ghost to bring the YRN to fame.

### Leadership of YRN (February 14 - June 27, 2021)

Ghost's leadership of YRN was marked with extremely high feedback, and although all of the previous roster had left, the newer members were still considered "just as good". The only remaining OG's in YRN from day-one were only Squadz and Brix; YRN Riot was the last YRN to have been under Vibez' rule to see both administrations, and left to rejoin PTO earlier that year.

Sadly, Juvie Kidd would be hospitalized on February 18, 2021 for what was initially (and misunderstood as) thought to have been COVID-19. In reality, Juvie's respiratory system was failing from the trauma it suffered on November 10th, and he died the next day in the hospital. The first official act the Graham Administration made was for all YRN to attend Juvie Kidd's funeral, in order to show respects in the light that regardless of controversy, Juvie was still YRN, and thus still family to all.

The Graham Triangle still continued to release songs, but at a lesser rate than 2019-2020, and were met with less viewership, feedback and reception than before, and the careers of all three were considered to be declining, although Midnight maintained a neutral stance given he'd just started, but he never came close to the same reception and high acclaim as his brothers.

##### Death of Mr. Bullet (March 17, 2021) and Marriage to Abby Sanderson (March 27, 2021)

On March 10, 2021, Mr. Bullet was riding his motorcycle around the Graham-Burlington area, close to Fairchild Park with Squadz accompanied, when his motorcycle would begin to swerve after a kink in the rode was believed to have deterred balance. While Squadz had been ejected from the motorcycle and was sent back-first onto an oncoming car in the opposite lane, Bullet panicked and attempted to regain control of the motorcycle, which tipped over around 40 mph.

Bullet's right-leg and upper body was violently pinned, as the weight of the bike plummeted him and his body into the asphalt and skidded about 32 feet across the road, severely mangling his right leg, and somehow rendering his left leg unusable. Squadz remained with mild injuries, notably after rolling off the hood of the car, with his helmet having saved his skull from severe injuries, as the front window had been busted by the helmet's impact. Bullet was quickly hospitalized, with his right-leg being amputated, and received an uncountable amount of stitches on his back, along with various other treatments.

The accident had sent shockwaves of fear into the YRN, and Ghost became even closer to Bullet post injury, frequently being by his bedside, and it seemed as if Bullet was going to make a speedy recovery, but unfortunately, shortly after Midnight of March 16th, Bullet died in his sleep sometime during the AM's of March 17, and was discovered in his bed by Madd Nightmare having died peacefully.

The cause of death for Bullet was believed to have been attributed to a lack of antibiotics due to a shortage with their supplier over what was claimed to have been COVID related, and infections spread to Bullet's lungs, suffocating him to death in his sleep.

This loss was catastrophic to not only the Graham Family, but for the entire YRN and many friends and fans, as Bullet was considered the peacekeeper, a kind, gentle and wholesome soul who brought so many memories to the world. This also meant the G.T was put on hold, before resuming with Midnight taking the third spot in the Triangle, despite his own interests in quitting music at the time.

On March 27, 2021, Ghost and Abby officially married, but not before dedicating the wedding to the life of Bradley H. Graham, aka Mr. Bullet. The conclusion of the wedding was that the underway child of the couple would be renamed Bradley Joshua Graham, named after Bullet and Vibez.

#### YRN-PTO War (March - June 28, 2021)

Still emotionally devastated by the loss of Bullet, Ghost would inadvertently cause a war with the Pussy-Tits Organization, a white-supremacist label that focused around white-power music, xenophobic, Ku-Klux-Klan and Neo-Nazi themes, after a recent fight. The PTO had been on a treaty with YRN as Vibez, despite his Puerto Rican ethnicity, made peace with them by providing financial support in exchange for the group to leave them alone, even occasionally returning the favor by supplying them with beats and other assets.

The decision to stop funding PTO was cut on March 1st after PTO had violently assaulted a pregnant woman for wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt, causing a miscarriage. Then leader, PTOcooch had advised Ghost to reconsider his decision, otherwise violence would be unleashed in retaliation, as YRN profits made a severe mark on PTO's growth and funded activities. Ghost confirmed his decision, not wanting YRN to be associated with the illicit, hate filled acts of terror PTO partake, and warned him not to pursue war against YRN, or annexation efforts would be made.

On March 4th, PTOcooch had managed to convince the YRN to meet with him and PTO to exchange a new peace offering, which seemingly worked, but upon arrival, Cooch had spat in Squadz' face, resulting in an all-out conflict between YRN and PTO. The fight had ended with Squadz battering down Cooch with a baseball bat, having recently incapacitated him in the 1v1 fight and retrieving a bat from Frosty, and had lead to the permanent paralyzing of Cooch upon striking his vertebrae with the bat. This lead to Cooch's medical retirement from PTO, and now PTOaryan took over.

On March 19th, three PTO spies who had attempted to sign off on the YRN, had plotted to assassinate Ghost and YGN Dripmasterz; Ghost because of his bankrupting of the PTO and feeling him a threat to their gain, and Dripmasterz over his suspected role in Vibez' murder. Though the attack wasn't planned by PTO as a whole, the three, upon arrest, stated their plot would've been justified by their PTO brethren and understood as the "greater good". The PTO never came to endorse their decision to kill Ghost, but would've supported the murder against Dripmasterz. Ultimately, their plot was sabotaged by Frosty, who lead to their arrest, which saved the lives of Ghost and Dripmasterz.

Lil Storms died from an act of suicide on April 10, 2021 after battling severe depression and alcohol abuse, mostly stemming from the murder of her little sister, Lil Foxy.

An all out war would be declared after the recent attempted assassinations, and the YRN and PTO would have numerous fights with one-another, and things only escalated in a deadly feud after Laven Wise betrayed the YRN between April 14-15 and gave out false information that Ghost was planning to murder Aryan and the PTO, with great detail to falsely back up his story. This would lead to the violent outcome on May 2nd.

##### May 2, 2021 Shooting

PTOaryan had thought out a perfect scheme, to assassinate Tha Ghost during the inauguration ceremony set to promote YRN Danger and YRN Feedy into the administration, as two new admins were needed to compensate the losses of Mr. Bullet and Lil Storms. It was the perfect scheme solely due to the fact it'd be open for the PTO to show their message of "no fear", and Aryan had found out the residence of the Graham family through a little mole, at the time.

The assassination would've meant YRN would lose Ghost as leader, and second in command Brix would take over, as prior to the escalation of the war over Laven's interference, it would've been ideal to remove Ghost by any methods, and then make peace with the PTO, and Nightmare had also agreed solely on the concept. PTO had also planned a drug-exchange to help boost the two groups, in exchange for the treaty, and knowing Ghost would never stoop low enough to a drug-running, he had to be killed, both to save their own skin from a violent, unnecessary war caused by his own stupidity and poor planning/reaction to the war itself, and the large financial compensation seemed decent itself.

On the day of May 2, 2021, having played basketball all together, Ghost would see a strange car pull alongside the curb, with the driver's side facing his way. Ghost approached the car at 10:38 AM to ask if the driver needed something. At that point, Aryan, who was unrecognizable due to his hoodie and head leaning down, as if he was not paying attention or hurt, quickly unconcealed his 9-Millimeter handgun, and opened fire on Ghost, first striking just in his left thigh, then as Ghost stumbled, proceeded to fire a second time into his left shoulder, just 3-4 inches from his heart, sending Ghost collapsing. Aryan proceeded to give Squadz a brief staredown, before opening fire in the direction of Abby, who was 9 months pregnant and due that month, but Abby was quickly shielded by former YRN member Baby Snuffy.

It is believed Aryan chose to spare Squadz solely because he knew of Squadz intent to make peace of the situation and all on his end was self-defense, in a misled conflict by Ghost. Aryan attempted to drive off, but was met with almost immediate return fire from YRN present, which caused him to nearly swerve off the road into a nearby home, being caught by a tree across the street, and stumbling out of the car with fatal gunshot injuries, dying on the scene, and was consequently beaten and stomped by infuriated YRN.

Ghost was rushed to the hospital quickly, and while Madd Nightmare didn't return fire unlike a majority of the present, he ran to check on Ghost, though presumably hoping to see he was dead, as Nightmare had set up the situation alongside Brix, although the latter did open fire on Aryan. Several YRN, including Midnight, were believed to have landed a final gunshot to Aryan that killed him upon the beatdown, as Midnight shot Aryan four times in the face, before breaking down fearing the worst.

Snuffy was pronounced dead on the scene, though Abby suffered no major injuries, albeit she did suffer mental damage from the scene, and still suffers from the PTSD to this day, several other YRN were hit with stray bullets, but none of which were fatal. Ghost was in life-support for several weeks, just narrowly surviving a serious infection spreading to his heart, which would've killed him had antibiotics not prevented the spread.

##### False Arrest/Owen Hinton Kidnapping (May 19-23, 2021)

Ghost was released on May 13, 2021, nine days after the shooting. Immediately, he took front-line precautions in a hand/hand feud with PTO, with BB Guns involved, due to the lack of attempts to mercilessly gun down potential innocent PTO. Prior to this, Brix had lead an assault on Ghost's orders to annex a production studio once held by PTO, running them off from the territory and further damaging the now leaderless and decaying PTO.

His own child, Bradley Joshua Graham, was successfully born on May 17, 2021, exactly two months after his namesake uncle Bradley Harris Graham 'Mr. Bullet' died. The Graham Family and YRN all awed in joy with the birth of Bradley J, and this enacted a small, peaceful period where all seemed okay for the time, despite various personal issues on the outside.

On May 21, 2021, YGN Dripmasterz was arrested for kidnapping 13 year old Owen Hinton, a boy who had been in the YRN and acquainted with Ghost and his brothers for some time. Although the Graham family had nothing to do with the planning or kidnapping itself, Drip and his mother Cathy Mackinlay made bomb threats, claiming they had people in North Carolina called "YRN" who would carry out the bombing on the McMinn Villa complex, the residence of Drip and his family, unless he was released from custody immediately.

The lead was that Tha Ghost and his brothers ran the YRN, so on May 22, 2021, as Ghost and his family were eating, police raided the Thomasville residence, and Ghost, along with his father, Bret, were violently taken down and handcuffed, and taken to the Davidson County Jail; Abby, along with Midnight, Nightmare and the mother, Leslie, were also taken into custody, while the house was searched for bombs or potential weapons of mass-destruction, and Bradley J. was taken into foster care for a night.

All would be released the 23rd, but held resent towards Dripmasterz and especially his mother since.

##### June 1st Shooting

On June 1, 2021, Ghost, Midnight and YRN Skipz had met up at Squadz' house, where Brix had been hanging prior. Intendingly and unknown to everyone except Nightmare, Brix had been to get Ghost to ride with him to "the store", and a plan for PTO to ambush and gun down Ghost fatally in the passenger seat was concepted, with Brix being the one to orchestrate it physically, and Nightmare from a disposable phone.

Unfortunately, Brix would not be alone with Ghost after all; everyone had decided a majority to get food at Bojangle's, and Brix knew there'd be too many innocent lives in danger, and warned Nightmare to call it off, and Nightmare frantically attempted to, especially for the safety of his little twin Midnight, but his messages to end the hit were left on delivered, and repeated phone calls were also unopened. Brix couldn't blow their cover, and was unable to talk anyone out of the food-run, so Skipz sat in the driver's seat, Squadz as front-passenger, Midnight back-left and Ghost in the back-right, with Brix choosing the middle seat in the back.

As he predicted the inevitable doom, it came into play, as a blue convertible Corvette quickly approached the car with only two inside. The driver was identified as PTOsegregator, while gunman PTOjimcrow, who possessed a fully-automatic AR, began their hit quickly, initially missing all of their shots, long enough for everyone (minus Brix and driver Skipz) to return fire, though the pistols were also never able to hit any of the hit squad's party.

After a 12 or so seconds of exchanged fire, two bullets struck Skipz in the chest, causing him to go into shock and Squadz leaning over to try and maintain control of the car wheel, although the car would veer offroad and overturn down an incline, knocking everyone except Brix unconscious. Because of the unintended injuries to innocents, Brix dialed for emergency services, and all victims were quickly taken to Alamance Regional Medical Center.

Ghost was met with several bullets to his person, primarily in the shoulders and pelvis, Midnight was shot through the stomach with slowed bullets, having been held back from the cushioned seats it penetrated, while Squadz and Brix were only injured by shrapnel.

Skipz was paralyzed by the accident, and given a 50/50 chance of even awaking from his comatose state. His parents made the decision to pull the plug the following day, and Skipz was gone. Both Ghost and Squadz made it out the hospital after a brief hospitalization, and Brix had mild injuries to begin with, however, Midnight took the crash badly, and was remaining on life-support.

During the aftermath, PTOjimcrow was hunted down and killed at an abandoned factory somewhere in Burlington, on June 8th, presumably by Madd Nightmare out of retribution for what he did to his brother, Midnight, and PTOsegregator was killed a little bit after that in a shootout at a car-wash initiated by unknown gunmen on June 21st.

Ghost and Squadz began to feud with one/another during this time period.

#### Midnight's Death & Exile (June 27, 2021)

Madd Midnight had been suffering a turn for the worst even after getting out of the hospital in later June, and was once again pressured and obligated to earn his keep around, and continue singing, but was frustrated with his lack of energy after narrowly avoiding death from a toxic-shock-syndrome battle that ruined his lungs.

Midnight's organ damage hindered his vocals, and the Graham Triangle was continuously declining with the death of Bullet, and now Midnight felt the downfall and hatred would be on him, so he continued to try, with even Ghost reprimanding him for being "slouchy" and "lazing around" after his release from the hospital, the pressure from Ghost and their father, along with frustrations with his current condition both physically, mentally and financially, snapped Midnight into suicide in the AM's of June 27, 2021.

With Midnight's death, the Graham Triangle disbanded and then several hours later after the unnerving news settled in, Brix and Nightmare both voted Ghost out of the YRN, as there was no other admin to vote against their decision. With Ghost's exile, Brix took over as leader of the YRN, while Nightmare joined PTO as the new leader, both made a treaty with one/another, and went on with their drug empire, with YRN Danger and YRN Feedy now serving Brix as admins Randy Danger and Lil Feedy.

Brix and Nightmare had also made plans to have Dripmasterz killed for his role in the Owen kidnapping, and the mass-evacuation and panic that ensued, with the false arrests of the Graham Family and Dripz' then-believed November 10th involvement as a heavy justification for vengeance.

### Post YRN Life (June 28, 2021 - Present)

After the betrayal of Nightmare, death of Midnight, and being impeached and banished from YRN, Ghost would then move out of his parent's home, with Nightmare doing the same despite being only 17, and the latter being forced to stay with friends. Ghost would purchase a home nearby, where he, Abby and their child, Bradley J. could settle down, and Ghost would settle in as a full-time therapist, having been a tattoo artist since late 2020.

Ghost would unofficially quit music, as he, along with Nightmare, hadn't released anything nor collaborated since prior to the 27th. However, Ghost would release a few remixes during this time period, but ultimately found little time and interest in returning to music full-time. From shortly after the shooting to sometime in late July, he had an off/on rift with YGN Squadz, after Squadz would violently assault him in a confrontation, which ended in Squadz being knocked unconscious with a support pipe in an abandoned factory, the rift being caused by Squadz blaming Ghost for the shooting, his pressure that caused Midnight's near-death, and other factors.

The rift ended by the end of July, when Squadz suffered a medical-emergency regarding his esophagus shutting down, leaving him unable to eat, drink or do nearly anything physical with his failing condition. Ghost would hide Squadz' bullets to prevent his suicide, and would try to comfort and reassure him he'd get better, even supplying him with vitamin water after his throat numbed slightly enough to allow liquid consumption. In response to Ghost's generosity and concern for Squadz' well-being, they ended the rift, and Squadz made promises to repay Ghost by fixing the problems with Brix and Nightmare.

Alternatively, it was suggested Ghost **kill** the two in retaliation for their betrayals, and the problems they caused, but he ultimately refused. Even if he chose to, he had nobody willing to aide him in the conflict, as all of the YRN united by Brix, having accepted his choice in their survival, and the forming YGN (inc. Squadz and Dripmasterz) were neutral in the conflict.

##### Amends with Brix and Nightmare (September - December 2021)

In September, Squadz had convinced Brix to understand Ghost's situation, how he's become a broken shell and his mistakes haunt him catastrophically, and that because Squadz was good friends with both of them, he wanted things to go back to how they were. Brix explained that he felt he had no choice but to betray Ghost, as the pressure was on him to make a move, having been second-in-command, and that if he did nothing like Ghost had been doing, many would die, and YRN would be hunted and arrested by the police for the gang-related activities that would've brewed as a result.

Brix offered to talk with Ghost, and the two reconciled; Ghost had explained he knew deep inside, he'd have made the same mistakes if the situation came at him again, and that he felt it was right for the recent events to unfold, blaming himself for Midnight's death, and understood things could never go back to how they were.

Nightmare had been arrested on July 23, 2021 during a massive manhunt/ambush at his Wake-Forest home, which lead to a mass detaining of him, along with a significant amount of PTO and YRN. Nightmare had resisted the arrest and was consequently tasered, and taken into police custody for the recent murder of PTOjimcrow, and possibilities of carjacking, and shooting a civilian dead during the jacking, and his massive narcotic distribution was brought to light.

However, he'd been released on bond, and Ghost considered the possibility of trying to slowly make his way back into his life, as he felt Nightmare was never in his right mind when he'd attempted to kill him [Ghost] and that he could fix everything, this would become apparent in later November, when the two began talking again after Nightmare was released by orders of Frosty, who helped run the state's legal system, in a deal to separate YGN Kaigez and YGN Dripmasterz during a recent feud.

Whilst awaiting trial, Ghost and Nightmare were reported to have reconciled, and made talk of making a full-time comeback, to show the world the reformed Graham Triangle and continue to make memories. Nightmare had finished his two-week rehab on November 27th.

##### Trial of Nightmare/Death of Bret Graham

On December 10, 2021, Nightmare was found *not guilty* for two counts of first-degree murder and carjacking, but would be found guilty for several other felony possession of narcotics, having taken a plea-deal. Instead of facing a maximum 12 years of prison, he was to spend 6 months of community-service, upon taking rehabilitation courses, and paying the State of North Carolina a heavy fine.

Later, hours after the trial, their father Bret Joel Graham suffered a severe heart attack whilst driving home alone from his second-shift job (having taken several hours off to attend the trial, and remade them later that night). Although the heart-attack wasn't quickly fatal, he would lose control of his vehicle, driving offroad into a ditch, and suffered life-threatening injuries from the crash alone, complicated by his heart-attack, and was both alone, and unable to reach for his phone, or scream for help. He succumbed a while after, and was dead in the car for hours before a passing car noticed the wreck, as the stretch of road was generally lonesome around the late hours especially.

Bret was cremated, and his ashes given to his widow, Leslie, and this loss even further broke the spirits of the family.

### Comeback (December 14, 2021)

Despite the previous tragedy a few days prior, the brothers would both make their return to music with their December 14th song 'Going to Crazy', having been recorded the previous day.

Both brothers were now signed off on the YGN Label, which was set to restore and redevelop the Graham Triangle. They would then return to music full-time for the first time since June, and would later record the song 'Last December' on December 23rd, and Ghost had recorded an album with him, Squadz and Danger. Two other affiliates, YRN Sleepy and CreepyCallz were featured on the album, set for release in 2022.

Last December's release by Nightmare on Christmas 2021 was met with extremely positive feedback, with hundreds more than proud to see the return of Thomasville's beloved brothers. Nightmare was forced to live with somebody due to his condition of PTSD, easy-to-provoke violence and sociopathic tendencies, and Papa Brix, who was his "landlord" at the Wake Forest residence, chose to be Nightmare's new residence since his return from rehab, as the previously mentioned home was repossessed after Brix (technically Nightmare) breached the leasing agreement, and the IRS withheld their taxes due to the illicit funds used to keep the home, leaving all occupants evicted.

Ghost had made numerous new singles in the time period from December - January, however, things took a negative turn as Brix would be arrested on January 16, 2022, as both Danger and Feedy, his two underlings, were killed. What was initially claimed to have been a random civilian targeting them as a failed on-foot robbery, was confirmed to have been a set-up killing, in which Brix gunned down both men, and would dump their bodies off a bridge, before coming to the police station to report the attacks, and lead the patrolmen to the scene of the crime, where both bodies were found and the men confirmed dead at the scene, with Dwight going to the hospital with gunshot injuries. (in reality, his accessory YRN Caliph shot him in a staged effort to prove "innocence")

With Dwight's arrest, Nightmare was thrown out the house, becoming homeless briefly, and nearly succumbing to hypothermia, as it'd snowed and he was bundled up in a parking lot, reported to have began hallucinating, showing delirium and was heavily injured by frostbite. Squadz had rode out to his location, and brought him to the hospital, confirming to have saved his life, as he was mere minutes away from losing consciousness and succumbing to the damp environment.

Upon finding out Nightmare had been homeless (Ghost never received any word from Nightmare, and was unaware he'd been kicked out of Dwight's due to the arrest of the homeowner, although it was Dwight's parents who kicked him out) Ghost told Nightmare he'd be staying with him, as the latter was about to stay with Squadz had the previous offer not been made.

Nightmare moved in with Ghost and Abby, staying in the spare bedroom near the nursery for Bradley. This would lead to even more productivity from the two, and Nightmare began working at Honda Power Equipment in Swepsonville, having been referenced by Squadz, who had worked there with Dripmasterz previously. Ghost had gotten a new job at a uniform cleaning business, as he'd previously been fired due to false allegations made by Laven Wise.

Ghost's album, 'Hearse Convoy' which had been recorded in December, was released March 29, 2022. It is also the last musical appearance of Danger, who was a victim on the January 15, 2022 shooting. A music video was also recorded, with both Ghost, Nightmare, Squadz and Danger appearing in the video, which was shot around the time the song was recorded. A compilation album titled 'Eternity' which holds the some of the Graham Triangle's best hits of 2019-2020, was released June 15th.

Ghost, Nightmare and Squadz would attend SeaWorld, Florida in late June 2022. YGN Kaigez was also intended to make an appearance in the trip, along with KGlockz, but neither were able to find time in their schedules to be able to participate.

#### July 4, 2022 Shooting

On July 4, 2022, Ghost, Nightmare and Abby were present during a family activity with Squadz, which was boating and swimming in Jordan Lake. Several YGN were also present, and afterwards, it was planned to ride home, shower, get ready and attend a July 4th festival hosted by the YGN, which would play music, include dancing, fireworks, corn toss and other activities. Squadz would ride with Ghost, Nightmare and Abby, who would then head to their own home, and all showered and prepared for the festival.

Afterwards, Ghost, Nightmare and Squadz were going to pick up JukeBoxXIE in ELon and head to a recording studio, and record new songs with Lil Frosty, and then Ghost was to go home, finish packing, and set out to Squadz' residence to get him and Nightmare, as Nightmare had decided to stay with Squadz that night, and Abby stayed home and didn't participate in the festival, as she was unable to go to the studio, and making several trips was inconvenient. (plus Abby didn't take interest in the public life)

About 36 minutes later at the festival, Ghost and JukeBoxXie had to leave; Juke mentioned having friends he was meeting, and Ghost agreed to drive him to a meet-up point, as he himself had to get home, and finish packing prior to the trip to Mississippi in the morning, where Ghost agreed to take Squadz and Nightmare to relocate Knucklz back into NC, as she despised living with her father, and planned to transfer her college semester into NC, her hometown. Ghost would intend on driving to NC in the morning, taking Squadz and Nightmare there; YGN Kaigez was initially intended on the trip, but ultimately was unable to participate.

Ghost and Juke both asked Squadz and Nightmare if they'd head back together, but the two refused, after convincing Frosty to drive them back home later. (it should be mentioned, Ghost, Squadz and Nightmare got Ice Cream prior to meeting JukeBoxXie earlier that day). The three would then hang around the studio, before leaving about an hour later, at 8:53 PM. Frosty would then set out with the duo, driving them to Squadz' residence in Burlington, before being stopped after "running over something" which damaged the tires, around 9:12 PM.

Frosty and Nightmare were gunned down by Frosty's Secretary-of-Defense officer Ringo, along with what was believed to have been Laven Wise himself; the shooting left Ringo killed in return fire, and both Frosty and Nightmare were severely injured, and Squadz hid underneath the car throughout the ordeal, and would drive both victims to the hospital.

Although both Frosty and Nightmare were clinically dead, they'd be resuscitated after mass efforts from medical supervision, and Nightmare would be released a few weeks later, having also attended physical therapy to relearn to use his heavily traumatized limbs, but made a good enough recovery to get back to music later that month.

#### Final Days of Music/Death of Nightmare (August 26, 2022)

Ghost's music progress slowed over the months, due to his increasing work schedule, and attempts to keep connections with his wife and child, which were his ultimate priority, while Nightmare, prior to the shooting, held the music contributions while his brother took time to himself. After the shooting, they focused ultimately on their brotherhood, and spending time with one another.

Ghost's final song, 'Better off Dead' was recorded on August 15, 2022, and a day later, Nightmare would collapse after an overdose of painkillers, inc. Fentanyl, mixed with alcohol and Ibuprofen, and was left in critical condition. The overdose took a toll on Nightmare's health, causing his organs, especially kidneys and liver, to shut down, and he'd die on August 26, 2022, surrounded by family.

This loss unhinged Ghost, who has ultimately ceased to making music, and would undergo numerous family issues as a result, primarily with his wife. A second child, Kimberly Morgan Graham, was born on Halloween. Ghost had turned to alcoholism, and was reported to have become physically abusive towards Abby in the time, and was recalled to have just "given up".

He remained unemployed, living off pensions from his and his brothers' music, inheritance, life-insurance and former YRN pensions, along with current YGN, which is what prevented homelessness, but he also began to suffer malnutrition's due to a lack of food, and reportedly ate very little, both out of choice and out of depression.

##### Hiatus and Retirement (August 26, 2022 - January 20, 2023)

Ghost had made no current announcement on retirement in the conclusion of 2022. He remained in the shadows, primarily out of public eye, and performed two concerts, the final being on Thanksgiving 2022. Through the hiatus, he still remained signed off on YGN, and uploaded unreleased content, remixes and reuploaded classic songs from the past, and had expressed no interest in recording new music.

It had been rumored that the Graham Triangle would continue as a solo project, with holograms of Bullet and Nightmare by his side, but this idea was rejected aggressively.

Finally, he made an announcement on the future of 'Tha Ghost' and the Graham Triangle, on January 5, 2023. Upon being nominated in the Thomasville Arts in a 'Legends' contract, he'd be a permanent face in the Thomasville Performing Arts, and recognized officially as a legendary artist from the city.

During the nomination, he finally announced that he'd be retiring the Graham Triangle name for good, and would no longer perform concerts or release new music, now focusing on rebuilding his life, and would still upload previous content, along with remixes and remasters, but would not be creating new content. **This would be affirmed during his January 20, 2023 inauguration ceremony, where he held a *final* *concert* to bid farewell to the music industry, and become recognized for his past accomplishments through induction.**

Both Bullet and Nightmare hold a place in the TPA Hall of Fame, and Ghost holds one too, along with his upcoming 'Legends' promotion.

#### Post-Retirement

Upon retirement, Ghost went back to living alone, occasionally making rare appearances in the YGN. He no longer makes music, but does continue to upload unreleased songs, along with remixes or reuploaded classics and remasters in order to continue both the legacies, and to make a little bit of extra money when needed.

On March 7, 2023, it was announced Ghost signed a contract with YGN to become the director and writer behind potential YGN music-videos. He would now have a full-time job, employed by YGN and this is considered a token to recover his financial issues and give him purpose again, in a well-anticipated comeback.

## Death of Lil Soulnexx & Arrest (March 23, 2023)

### Background

On March 17, 2023, it was announced that Ghost had made contact with the property owner of the abandoned plant in Burlington formerly owned Western Electric, aka the Tarheel Army Missile Plant, which had been the site of many YRN - YGN activities. He was able to rent out a portion of it, in order to hold mass-recordings of music videos, and 57 (confirmed) attendees, most were outside of the YGN, who paid the $40 fee for the professional shoot, whilst YGN were given complimentary services due to an agreement that Ghost's services are spotted by his YGN contract within reason.

On March 22, 2023, around 8PM, most guests arrived to the scene, were the recordings were set to be held from 11PM - 3:20 AM. Many of the scenes involved stunts, which had not been rehearsed nor planned in advance. Fog machines, fireworks, flames, smoke and horror themes including chainsaws, prop blood and makeup were involved as props, which were being set up, while computers, LED, food and alcohol were being provided to the guests and those simply there to watch the recordings physically.

Lil Soulnexx had initially been planned to have been recorded performing a stunt off the Tarheel Missile Plant's water-tower to her song 'My World is Burning' which had been recorded only 6 hours prior to the shooting. She was to be strapped to a harness, held by a cable used to lift industrial freight of up to 50lbs, of which she exceeded the weight at 109lbs. The harness had never been previously tested on a being, nor had she rehearsed or been fitted in it, and her stunt was to jump from the near 200 foot water-tower, being caught mid-air by a breaking system in the cable set to stop at 25 feet, and then continue to lower the rest of the way slowly, with an overhead angle of her "falling" into added aesthetic flames, in a suicide backward lean off the tower, and "disappear" into the flames, all recorded via drone.

She was then to trigger the quick-release, and land on her feet, and continue the music video, as the cable and harness were supposed to be angled out of the shot with photoshop, and seem like a raw footage of her falling. Ultimately, she opted against the move last minute, after consulting with her close friend Kaigez. She felt as if something was going to end terribly wrong with the stunt, and she'd be killed, and asserted the biggest flaw she had with it was the lack of rehearse or testing on the equipment, and out of nowhere she was expected to perform the stunt unsupervised in one shot, in a dangerous scenario that could easily mean life/death in an extremely risky stunt she had no practice in. Soulnexx had absolutely no previous experience in stunts, and was also to perform this in pitch-black where she couldn't see the equipment well.

As a result, Ghost cut her out of all upcoming recordings, and initially had told her he'd have the equipment checked and tested, but she and Kaige firmly asserted this stunt was out of the picture. Soulnexx still attended the recording and casting party.

### Shooting (1:01 AM)

At 12:48 - 12:52 AM, a music video for the song titled 'Sleep Paralysis' by an artist (choosing to refrain from public naming at the scene, and the song and video left unreleased permanently and hidden from public eye as a tribute) was recorded. The music video was considered "extended" as the artist had complained about the homade mask made of newspaper was "snagging" his hair, and the collar pulling up on his throat and forcing his head back, which lead to additional retouches in the aftermath.

He had been complaining to Ghost, who was reportedly intoxicated throughout the recordings, having been aggressive to many audience and the cast, and was supposedly kicked out of the studio, though it is believed he stormed off the scene after Ghost reprimanded him for his complaining, but regardless after 12:52 AM when the recording had ended, Ghost had the film crew and video producers work on the aesthetics and finishing touches, and went to sit down and calm down.

Around 12:57 AM, it was then that 420Foxy, the older sister of Soulnexx, and younger sister to Loaded Moxley (leader of the Fox Collective) and JukeBoxXIE, all of whom present, had approached Ghost, and sat down infront of him. According to witnesses, the initial confrontation began civil, before Foxy II began accusing Ghost of favoritism, as she felt he'd been downplaying the talent of her siblings and showing favoritism solely due to the fact Ghost considered his late siblings Bullet and Nightmare superior to the Fox's, and played around with their potential in other to restrain their potential.

Ghost, who was especially known to be extremely violent when intoxicated and easily provoked, began a hostile argument with Foxy II, before it was cited he had said something that "pissed Jaime [Foxy II] off". She responded by getting up, and striking Ghost violently across the jaw, causing two of his teeth to detach and flood his mouth with blood, and it began to shower across his face as he stumbled with his mouth open. Soulnexx and Moxley (though arguably Juke) had approached either during the loud argument, or after the punch, seemingly to check on Foxy II and see what was going on. This was reported around 1:01 AM, according to the cameras that had been rolling throughout the entire crime scene.

And only seconds after the punch was delivered, at 1:01 AM, Ghost would (reportedly him by witnesses) pull his holstered (and licensed) 9 millimeter, semi-automatic handgun from his holster, and open fire recklessly in the direction of Foxy II in order to back her off, as it was apparent by witnesses she was approaching to continue the beatdown. Stumbling from the intoxication and injury, his uncoordinated gunshots struck several attendees and members of the cast, and one sole bullet fatally struck Soulnexx just above her nose, slightly towards the left of her face, and she collapsed and was presumably killed immediately.

The shooting immediately disengaged 420Foxy, who was frantic and quickly rushed over to her little sister, who was limp and twitching slowly, though both brothers, Juke and Moxley had rushed Ghost, disarming him and violently beating him near death, while patrons informed the authorities quickly, and Ghost was beaten unconscious, and was cited to have had his entire face full of blood.

Police and first-responders immediately pronounced Soulnexx dead on the scene, and all 7 of the shooting victims were rushed to the hospital, though all of whom survived with moderate injuries. Ghost was also taken to the Alamance Regional Medical Center, where he was under supervised treatment, and given multiple stitches, and treated for both a concussion, fractures in his skull, and blunt-force trauma, having been violently crushed into a wall by the 190lbs Moxley, who charged him and slammed him into the brick wall of the abandoned factory. Ghost also was treated for his detached teeth, and his bloody nose.

### Arrest (March 24, 2023)

The following day, Ghost, who was healed but mobile, was taken to the Alamance County Detention Center, where he was interrogated by FBI and booked with first-degree murder. He was consequently removed from the YGN's roster, and blacklisted by nearly all who once stood by him, and condemned by hundreds, despite arguable evidence in guilt. His face was never shown during the shooting, as he had been wearing a jacket at all points, due to the frigid temperatures on that night. Also, a misangle during the video footage could very well be enough to be considered an electronic error, deeming him fit for bond and compensation.

The Fox family filed a 20M wrongful-death lawsuit against Ghost, and Ghost would counter-suit with a defamation and assault suit, stating the family were scapegoating him because of their envy towards his successful catchet over them, and an attempt for the Fox Family to have a massive competitor removed from their line of trouble, and also wanted to sue the State of North Carolina for false incrimination and trauma he's suffered from the case.

On March 28, 2023, Ghost asserted he believes Moxley, Juke and Foxy II hired an assassin to kill Soulnexx, and frame Ghost for it, as he states (unsourced) that the Fox Family considered her a weak link and burden, and by getting rid of her, they save money from not having the family feed her, and have more focus onto them, and by blaming Ghost, they get rid of competition, as Ghost feels Moxley was a true threat to him, and held jealousy towards him, and the surviving three siblings grow tremendously.

It is also believed Ghost could have his charges dropped to involuntary manslaughter, and he is looking to have the surviving three Fox Siblings arrested for their assault and attempted murder towards him, and their incrimination scandals, though the case is still ungoing.

### Trial (upcoming)

Ghost has a first-hearing scheduled for May 2, 2023, which will be to confirm his charges, speak with a bondsman to see if bail will be available, and his trial as the suspected shooter will begin September 19th.

Ghost is being booked with one count involuntary manslaughter, seven counts assault with deadly weapon, gross negligence with a minor, and seven counts gross bodily harm with firearm. He is facing a maximum of 50 years, with a chance of parole after 25 years. He continues to assert a theory both three members of the Fox Collective set up Soulnexx to be killed as a scapegoat to frame Ghost, and remove him as a competitor.

### Return (May 12, 2023 - Present)

In May 2023, Ghost was released on 65K bond, paid by an unknown source. Upon his return, he'd make a comeback to music, having recorded multiple songs from his return, especially during his visit to Carolina Beach, where he and a group of friends would post numerous photos surfing, and Ghost teased his music comeback and possibility of coming out of retirement, with a non-vocal snippet which would later be 'No Tomorrow'.

During his stay near the Cape Fear River, he'd record the music video, and the album would be published on May 29, 2023, being his first musical involvement since the demise of his little brother, Dennis, who died in August 2022 from an overdose, and the disbanding of the Graham Triangle. The album was met with mixed opinions, some citing the inspiring theme of returning to music despite the demise of all of his siblings, his divorce, loss of custody of his children, near homelessness and criminal allegations, yet still staying strong, while others cite the quality of his music has become dry.

Regardless, Ghost has stated he has no intention of hanging up the microphone yet, and that his return is to spite the Fox Family for their lawsuit and criminal charges they have against him for the suspected manslaughter of Felicia Fox, aka Lil Soulnexx.

He was found not-guilty for his involvement in the shooting after a short trial in September, while 420Foxy was convicted and sentenced to 22.4 years, in October 2023.

## Personality

Ghost is, mostly unlike his brothers, a man of high-culture. He speaks fluently in formal and advanced English, and also has a refined taste in literature and philosophy, with interests in many iconic faces of poetry and literature such as Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde. Often, he'll engage in polite trivial debates with his peers, more often than not winning flawlessly. He can be cited as a highly-religious, conservative man, who admires history with an undying passion by all who know him,

In terms of his non-cultured style, he is best known for transitioning between dressing formally, using outdated trends such as corduroy, and also dressing as a full metalhead. He never showed true vulgarness or inappropriateness outside of music, as he set himself as a highly fashioned and impressive gentleman, often speaking in outdated fashions, and at some points speaking in a faux British voice.

Aside from his formalities, he possesses a kind, gentle and overly caring demeanor, going out of his way to help the needy whenever possible. As such, he's a highly acclaimed therapist, who outside of work, gives out complimentary services of therapy, counseling and moral-support when asked, or when seeing a necessity to step in for a fellow friend in need. He's frequently a generous and good samaritan, who also holds high professionalism, being cited to have talked many out of suicide in the past, and often taking his friends out for dinner whenever feeling the need to lean his support their way, and takes strong interests in the passions of others. Ghost is famous for being nearly impossible to provoke into anger, even if physically attacked, he's been known to resort to defusing the situation as peaceful as possible, unless a loved one is threatened, in which remains one of the only true ways to encounter a hostile side to him.

Although, behind closed doors, he still is a reminder none are truly perfect; his innocent and unalarmed demeanor has caused many injuries to himself and others, in which 2021 took the hardest toll on his personality, shredding most of his gentleness towards the outside world. He also shared strict standards on his siblings, often going too far with pressure and "get back up" standards, which had been costly at times. In his younger years, he was known to be slimy, quiet and always "planning something", which would later erupt as his betrayal of Young Vibez and their long frenemy rivalry.

## Trivia

* With the passing of Madd Nightmare on August 26, 2022, he is the last remaining member of the Graham Brothers, and the last of his generation.
	+ Ghost is also the only one of the four siblings to have had any reproduction; Bullet's possibility of having a child was talk, but his most prominent girlfriend at the time was actually pregnant from a previous relationship, Nightmare's "relationship" with 420Foxy and their possible child that was rumored to have been lost in November 2021, was denied ultimately by 420Foxy, who lied about the pregnancy for personal reasons, and all previous doctors having stated she'd never been pregnant before, and Midnight had sworn off on ever having children in the future.
	+ Ghost is also the only one in his generation to have ever been married, and holds the longest relationship stance, with Bullet holding the shortest.
		- Also, Ghost has retired his band-like style entirely, as the disbanding of the Graham Triangle was his origin for his punk, metal style, and he now focuses on acoustic, emo-rap styled music, mostly involving singing.
* The origins of Ghost's name was often debated, with some believing it to have been inspiration from punk singer Ghostemane, or his edgy, badass demeanor, however, it was actually due to his pale pigments. Ghost suffered from what was not officially albinism, but rather severely pale pigmentation, due to a negative side-effect to antidepressant medication he took in his teenage years, which strictly forbid contact with sunlight and altered his pigments. Although his skin still remains eerily pale, it is far more deepened with tan in modern years, after the medication was dropped from his proscription list.
	+ Furthermore, his long, dyed black hair covering his face, mixed with his pale skin, gave off a sinister and psychotic, undead vibe that also contributed to his nickname.
* Although considered professional and with the charm, charisma and maturity he possessed, Ghost was still at times a "child at heart", infrequently making participation in the jokative antics his peers would do, even taking part in the "Tucker" inside joke.
* Ghost is widely regarded as the **greatest** of the Graham Triangle, being far more acclaimed and beloved than all three of his little brothers. This could also be due to his far longer music career, having been in music from 2014-2022, along with his many styles, his choir experienced vocals, and his lyrical genius.
	+ Mr. Bullet is often argued to have been the one that was actually the best, given his fanbase within three months grew tremendously, even faster than Ghost's upbringing into music, along with simple personal preference towards Bullet.
* Ghost is known to able to come up with a haiku or story in a whim, and had at some points even written his own literature.
* Although often regarded as an anti-political anarchist hellbringer, especially in his music, Tha Ghost, along with his three brothers, endorsed the 2020 and (posthumously) 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump, though all brothers were strictly against censorship, cancel-culture, vaccine mandates, were pro-abortion, strong LGBT supporters, and were against the BLM/ANTIFA movements.
	+ This is not unexpected, as these shared views gathered a strong relation to YGN - YRN through their fight against the liberal media.
	+ Also, Ghost was indifferent to Trump in 2016, but was firmly against Hilary Clinton's campaign.
* Ghost is well-known for his constant music transitions, though his music in 2014 - early 2018 were mostly psychotic horrorcore songs, and when the Graham Triangle formed in September 2018, it transitioned to punk, metal, rap and this would also merge in with his solos as an artist. Although he made emo-rap and depression related music in the past, it made an impact in early 2019 with his British style, then again in early 2021, and his return in December 2021 mostly dropped his band-like style, with more emo-rap songs emerging, though his 2021 'Hearse Convoy' album was the last of his old horrorcore style.
	+ Ironically, despite his preference in band-like styles, he *cannot* scream, growl or gurgle in his music, and although a handful of times he attempted himself exist, he almost always delegated that to Madd Nightmare or Mr. Bullet whenever it was a suggested song addition.
