I GOT AROUND TO LISTENING AND TRANSCRIPT READING FOR THE CIRCUS THINGS!! 

okay so

first off, Denikin? Someone named Denkin left the troupe, which is led by? Gregor Orsinov? In Strange Music Orsinov is the ringmaster and Denikin, Nikolai Denikin, which is Leanne Denikins grandfathers name. HE was the organist so these are definitely connected.

Orsinov’s troupe is said to be erm, weird. Nikolai also was a carnie, working with a traveling freak show Carnival. Which is. The Circus of the Other. So Nikolai definitely!! worked there !! Sorry Leanne pepaw was a freak

Also they just? HAVE the exact same calliope? Don’t play it i beg of you do not play that accursed thing ur gonna be made into a marketable plushie.

Yuri Utkin’s incident was in 1952, which is before Nikolai Denikin left, which was in the 70s. The troupe was in Russia during 1952 as well as 1948, the photo Jon found was in 1948 in Minsk, Russia. 1952 they were in Algasovo. They were touring Russia for whatever reason,,

Another thing,,in Tightrope, some guys were mentioned who i think, dragged Yuri Utkin away from a tiger, yeah? I remember hearing that and thinking “Breekon and Hope?”

Breekon and Hope are a “moving service”

They’ve come up a few times, from ep 2 with the coffin, to delivering the table and i think a lighter? to the archives. They “appear” in Tightrope for some reason, I think they’re the ones who took the calliope. The neighbor said they “looked legitimate” and she assumed Leanne was having things moved when, really, they were stealing it. They’re already confirmed spookies, it’s not that far of a stretch if they’re the ones who gave the institute the calliope. Big time gap? Well the table statement was from 2007. This story takes place in around 2016, Gertrude died in 2015. Thats a 9 year gap so it’s not unusual for them to deliver things so..far apart from their acquisition.

There’s one other thing I noticed; the clowns.

The silly little doll clown in Strange Music, it has purple and white polka dots and three little yellow pompoms down the front.

There’s a clown in Tightrope with white and purple polka dots and is beating up another clown who is remarkably smaller.

Isn’t that odd?

perhaps a doll is made for every kill the clown gets..

Twenty three victims. Joshua Drury is the Twenty-fourth. He got a doll.

huh!!

how fun.
