    *if you're here from tiktok here's some things to keep in mind:*
    this is the middle of the 3rd season, this makes very little sense because you're meant to watch the episodes in order
    this is a horror tragedy podcast
    this is not a movie/show, it's a podcast, it will probably never be a movie/show, there are no visuals
    the main character's name is jonathan sims

    if you're "here from tiktok" congrats, you found the magnus archives - an incredibly well-written horror podcast. Easy to find on yt, spotify, apple music, etc. this ep is well into the 3rd season. "oh it's not a movie???" "this should be a movie" no, shush, not everything needs to be a film or tv show, podcasts slap, maybe try them out.
    sometimes the scariest things are those we cannot see, and this podcast loves to write with that energy.
    if you came here from tiktok and ended up finding a podcast you love then welcome - it's in the final season currently, join the fun - hope you enjoy.

    but despite this the convo between Nikola and John was very spoopy good job

  • @evagrev7351
    @evagrev7351 2 года назад +96

    My theory from this episode and what we know so far:
    Something tells me Gertrude did indeed destroy the gorilla skin and John will be looking for nothing 😅
    So, Orsinov now is this Nikola, who is a mannequin. She's probably also that mannequin that killed in the store at closing time and tried to take the skin out of the person she killed, and, she's also probably even the Megan in that factory in the forest, using human skin. In the Anglerfish episode, one of the victims is called Megan, so the minions of the Stranger have the skin of a Megan for them to use.
