It kinda makes me sad that this guy's whole story was about things being forgotten and lost, only for his case to be forgotten in the sudden insect attack.
So when this guy's husband disappears due to a weird thing he brought home from a shady dealer he's a "victim" and a "poor guy" but when it happens to me I'm a "murderer" and "guilty of second-degree murder"
Look you got to admire someone who recognizes they’e in a horror movie and thus avoid all the classic problems, that takes some self awareness that the entire cast lacks
@@vermillion_labotomyspoilers for season five Bro probably didn’t even realise there was an apocalypse on. When it ended he probably just dug himself out of the dirt that was once a Buried domain and thought “hmm that was weird, I don’t remember burying myself.

Honestly when they started describing hands reaching out of the vase I thought it was gonna be that they had a kid and that he forgot, like everyone else forgot
You saying that reminds me of a movie I saw that involved just that. Parents kids go missing and everyone in their family forgets that they even existed. The movie was called The Wretched.
love this episode. homophobic old vase, why not? went to sleep listening to this one (since after over 170 episodes this is now, unfortunately, my comfort media) and the "RUN" woke me up lmao
Lmao homophobic vase, I didnt even frame it this way, but thats really funny. Poor sod though, cant imagine what its like losing your partner and then also having the world move ahead like they literally never existed...
No, the thing in the vase had a crush on André, that's why it took his husband. It even returned the objects when it realised that their disapearence was upsetting him !
lol, we actually had a pretty nasty roach infestation until we started letting the spiders live here... Now we have a house full of spiders, but they're actually much less messy than the roaches, so it's cool.
@@xxllamaborrachaxx9374 I go out of my way not to kill spiders. Outside of ants, which number far too high to get put under control, we don't see many bugs anymore. Sometimes silverfish, but they're just fast.
@b-blythe6763 ohhhhh, what if the thing that started crawling out of the vase was the same kind of creature that crawled in not-Grahm's window?? 😮 In that story, nobody else remembered the original Graham except the person who had been watching him...🤔
I love the ongoing story, but i'm always a little bummed when Jon gets cut off at the end, since I know he loves to leave the juiciest details for last.
new listener here so no spoilers pls but I was 100% sure that the reason Laura Popham had so many "errors" in her statement in Lost Johns' Cave wasn't just because of trauma & guilt but smth else was involved as well and here we have it: i think this ep and ep15 are the only ones so far to describe a thin pale hand. probably that same creature (or same *kind* of creature) stole laura's permit to explore the cave (since there was no record of a permit given to her), stole the map (hence her sister's confusion when she says she followed the map exactly) and gave her the candles. it most likely took her sister as well, the same way it took the husband here. maybe even gave her the camera, though that's a little less likely since it would've kinda exposed the creature? either the map or the permit were somehow cursed and stole stuff then disappeared as well, or Laura had an object, like the vase, that i don't remember or wasn't mentioned in the episode. just a theory ig but i've been dying to understand what happened in that episode since I was so confused with it.
‘Compared to some of the ghost stories you hear in this place, I'm sure a pair of misplaced shoes must seem;’ My AirPods in a much louder robotic tone: *battery low* I jumped and fell out of my chair-
I’ve been listening to this at work and toward the end of the day without fail, I get to a juicy part of the statement, crescendo of the background ambiance, and just as they say an important piece at the climax I hear *[BATTERY LOW]* and lose my goddamn mind
I remember thinking not 3 episodes ago about people who say "If you have a fear, then there's a Magnus Archives episode for you" or something like that. And I thought that I didn't have any real fears outside of complex trauma-related ones. But then... this episode. The moment I read the premise in the description I knew this was mine. Because I misplace things so often. Sometimes I find them again, sometimes I don't, but it's often that when I need things they aren't where I remember leaving them or I don't remember where I put them at all. There are times where I have these big spikes of anxiety whenever I reach for my phone or bus pass or whatever other important item, thinking it will have vanished because I'm so forgetful and disorganized. And God, never in a million years would it have occured to me that this is a fear that could be spun into a nightmarish manifestation of my personal hell packaged neatly a 15 minute story, tied up with a bow. Losing my things, living with a fear that people around me are gaslighting me, (Trauma induced fears are fun,) then losing my spouse, and everyone swearing none of these things or people ever existed? Both personally heart-wrenching and terror-inducing. It's gonna take me a little while to fall asleep tonight. On a semi-related note I mentioned how this neat package of a story is tied up with a bow. Can we talk about that bow for a second? The ending?? The overarching mystery??? Jon's shout made me jump so hard and due to the fact I had the podcast pulled up on RUclips on the TV it woke up my aunt in the next room, who promptly told me to go to sleep. I'm so fucking excited and scared to see where this goes next aaaaaaaahhhhh
*reads two months ago* oh no.... ok no spoilers. Well. I'll let you know there's only one other solid jumpscare? But..... Damn as some one who forgets items all the time to the point i need to carry everyrhing with me at all times because otherwise they will.... disappear. I hear ya. Curious where you are in the story now? Did you marathon it or currently at a certain season? Wherever you are, there's a community willing to talk to you about the rollercoaster this entire story becomes.
I’m a bit late but same, freaking scared me. Like literally a couple days ago I thought that I was drinking for my sister soda wasn’t sure. So I drink it all (because I was going to buy her more) and she pointed to the soda which that I assume was mine and thought that I drink from it which turns out I didn’t but I assume I did but then I looked at it, and I realized I like taking a little thing allows you to open it and realize it was my sister and I give it back to her immediately. I felt like I was silently losing my mind… After all it was such a little thing.
“Sorry about your pen” What…? So the pen that they gave him, the one he was writing with, disappeared while he was using it? Then how did he write that last sentence?
This is actually the plot of a horror story I read a while back; though the lady in that tale was going increasingly insane because sometimes when she said something like "you should wash your mouth out with soap" the person she said it to would wind up dead the next morning in a way related to what she had said. At one point she got in a fight with her wife and said "I wish you would just disappear". think you can figure out what happened next...
O.O Soooo... either the Archive unwittingly ended up connected to that same nexus of darkness that Jurgen Leitner wanted a whole dug to... Or the worms managed to dig their way in... *shudder* seriously, what the hell did Gertrude piss off, that it's STILL gunning for them?

That "run" at the end, at full volume, scared the crap out of me man. But I love it It kind of sucks that only just now I'm learning about the Magnus Archives, and what a gem it is. But it's beautiful, really. The voice acting, the story, the carefully placed details and references; all of this is truly a masterpiece. Props to you Rusty Quill. Also, another thing, I've been keeping up with the story but I cannot for the life of me remember who Gerard is and why he's important? Was he the fellow from the episode with the Vampire, the vampire hunter?
Gerard Kaey? He is tangled with the books of Jurgen Lietner, and he appeared since the chapter of the book of Ex Altiora... He has appeared three times now! Also he's related to the symbol of the eye
I'm about 2:10 into this episode, desperately searching for my Energizer AAA batteries which have vanished without a trace. Also, I found in its place a bag of generic pepperoni snack sticks that I haven't seen in months. What is happening, you guys???
I’m here on my first run-through I was literally just thinking about how Sasha is my favourite character and that I want to draw here AND THEN JON GOES “Sasha run, RUN!” LIKE ISTFG IF SMTH HAPPENS TO HER I WILL CRY
Any episode with Selesa and a cursed object is an amazing one. Not that I don’t love a good Leitner or a monster or a cursed location, but there’s something about these evil things that captures my imagination. As well as a dude who sells them! It’s like when you deep dive Control lore and find out there’s a black market trade for altered materials.

At one point she got in a fight with her wife and said "I wish you would just disappear". think you can figure out what happened next...
Ok ok ok so when it hit the quiet "sasha run" my stomach dropped, and then when it hit the "RUN!!!" My heart just exploded. I actually had to put my headphones down and run to the kitchen to splash some water on my face because I started hyperventilating. But it's sad because when I came back to listen to it again it had lost the power. Welp, guess I'll have to keep listening on! What a shame.
One thing I just picked up on is how Salesa forgot having the vase, which means at some point this guy is going to forget about his husband alltogether.
What! No! No! You can’t end like that! You have given me chills. Why did you end the recording that could have been the proof you needed to validate your experience!
I actually have massive gaps in my memory related to PTSD, this stuff scares me because...well I can't remember half the stuff I did or said even after the event ended.
ok WHAT there is so much to unpack here -- for me the vase reminds me of the fractals that the schizophrenic father was obsessed with (and was it mentioned more times? i dont remember). wtf happened at the end. is this to do with that cursed table?? what is ha p p e n i n g
Omg they really arent lying when they say tmi has an episode for every fear, I hate losing things, whenever I cant find something I get very iritated and I start looking for it like crazy, fearing I will never find it. Crazy they have an episode about something like this
Yeahhh I have something similar happen to me. I call it the Elizabeth Dimension (Elizabeth is my first name.) It seems I have this uncanny ability to lose things as soon as I put them down, like they’ve been swallowed by a void. I’m mostly joking when I gripe to myself “Ah, lost to the Elizabeth Dimension.” Mostly joking.
If you're still looking for transcripts, you can find all of them at: snarp.github.io/magnus_archives_transcripts/episode/037.html Some commenters have been copy-pasting them in here. Actually I just added the one for this episode :D
I personally have a theory that I'm not sure is true BUT either way Jon should know that killing spiders is not the best way to go. Now for my theory, I think the spiders are actually the natural enemies of the worms. And since we know that fire kills the worms I think the lighter with the spiderweb might actually be good for Jon? Also, they seem to have discovered a new passage but what I think is more important is that as soon as Jon killed the spider (or at least made it move) the worms turned up again. Now of course I might be wrong because I'm a 1st time listener but it's interesting to keep in mind
iam now seeing another pattern, fractals. They were mentioned before in other episodes as well. recurring character! (whom I don't remember) also he better not have killed the immortal spider because if he did, he is going to be hunted like that pooor man from the acrophobia episode. I'm lowkey scared, please tell me Jane didn't make herself a home in the walls ToT
The spider and worm don't get along. Was it was warning him? Also, that yell of "RUN!" was very, very well done, and made me jump. Bravo once again, you wonderful voice actor.

It kinda makes me sad that this guy's whole story was about things being forgotten and lost, only for his case to be forgotten in the sudden insect attack.
Yeah, it is kinda sad when you put it like that
Edit: yeah and it’s one of the tapes that went missing after the attack
@@ErinHollowspoilers my guy
@@ErinHollowhow rude of you to spoil.

I love that despite the fact he was running for his life, Jon still took the time to end the recording. That's dedication right there.
YEET xD
PFFT-
Maybe one of the spiders crawled over the button and it was pressed down by the weight/pressure?
When the tape runs out of tape space, it automatically stops the recording
So when this guy loses stuff it's the demon vase's fault, but when I do I'm forgetful and negligent
So when this guy's husband disappears due to a weird thing he brought home from a shady dealer he's a "victim" and a "poor guy" but when it happens to me I'm a "murderer" and "guilty of second-degree murder"

Not that I don’t love a good Leitner or a monster or a cursed location, but there’s something about these evil things that captures my imagination. As well as a dude who sells them! It’s like when you deep dive Control lore and find out there’s a black market trade for altered materials.
I'm sorry only one person laughed!? I laughed at the joke!
"That joke's so old only an antique dealer would be able to sell it"
The Magnus Institute feels like what would happen if the Foundation had only a single site and a fraction of the budget.
And it was public but yes my thoughts exactly
that ending scared me lol
Excuse me as I sit here staring at my phone with a horrified look
He lost his husband
:’0
This is actually the plot of a horror story I read a while back; though the lady in that tale was going increasingly insane because sometimes when she said something like "you should wash your mouth out with soap" the person she said it to would wind up dead the next morning in a way related to what she had said. At one point she got in a fight with her wife and said "I wish you would just disappear". think you can figure out what happened next...
@@tearez13 Oh my god, what was the name of the story ?
@@justeundonut-moi.7979 no idea... srry
@@tearez13 Thanks anyway 😊
It's okay, men can't have husbands. He was just a delusional freak.
Ok ok ok so when it hit the quiet "sasha run" my stomach dropped, and then when it hit the "RUN!!!" My heart just exploded. I actually had to put my headphones down and run to the kitchen to splash some water on my face because I started hyperventilating. But it's sad because when I came back to listen to it again it had lost the power. Welp, guess I'll have to keep listening on! What a shame.
After learning that squirming sounds are pasta, I can't stop imaging angry spaghetti instead of worms...
Mac and cheese
Angery macaroni lol
One thing I just picked up on is how Salesa forgot having the vase, which means at some point this guy is going to forget about his husband alltogether.
That ending.
MMMMMM THAT "Sasha run. RUN" at the end got me sIMPING
I jumped at the yelling holy shit that was good acting!!!
That vase really said steal ya mans
Bro i felt chills when Jon said "RUN!" i usually see this guy as the type to never yell.
Nobody:-
The Magnus archive (at the end of this episode):- JUMPSCARE!!!!
WTF IS GOING ON?! Hearing Jon shout "RUN" was very disconcerting and seeing as we can't see what is happening... I'm getting a little worried...
What! No! No! You can’t end like that! You have given me chills. Why did you end the recording that could have been the proof you needed to validate your experience!
The end gave me major chills I feel like I need to be sick
I’m js gonna 18:27
Holy... that "RUN" gave me chills. Bad chills
And it is to this that we do owe a thank you to The Web
Spoilers
I have severe memory loss issues so the ones concerning forgetting things or being forgotten or not knowing who you are really get to me
I actually have massive gaps in my memory related to PTSD, this stuff scares me because...well I can't remember half the stuff I did or said even after the event ended.
ok WHAT there is so much to unpack here -- for me the vase reminds me of the fractals that the schizophrenic father was obsessed with (and was it mentioned more times? i dont remember). wtf happened at the end. is this to do with that cursed table?? what is ha p p e n i n g
also that bloody. the plaster wall? reminded me of old passages where a wall was found out to be fake and there were passages behind it. idk

Holy moly , when he screamed “RUN !!!!!!” at the end I flinched . The acting was so flipping good !
I don’t know why but every episode I listen to the _entire_ outro. Every time.
Omg they really arent lying when they say tmi has an episode for every fear, I hate losing things, whenever I cant find something I get very iritated and I start looking for it like crazy, fearing I will never find it. Crazy they have an episode about something like this
Oh my god Jon yelling RUN at the end scared the Dickens out of me. I jumped so bad my coworkers are giving me weird looks
Yeahhh I have something similar happen to me. I call it the Elizabeth Dimension (Elizabeth is my first name.) It seems I have this uncanny ability to lose things as soon as I put them down, like they’ve been swallowed by a void. I’m mostly joking when I gripe to myself “Ah, lost to the Elizabeth Dimension.” Mostly joking.
❤️ I got goosebumps at the end! Made my girl stand on end! “Sasha run, RUN!” I shivered.
(1 yr later, guessing you know what happens) ... specially since these are probably Jon's last words ever to Sasha....
Hope your girl is okay, standing on end like that
"It's only ever gotten a laugh once"
Hey, I laughed so now it's twice
omg I swear John's screams are the scariest thing in this podcast
15:14
Jon/Andre: fingers coming out of the pot.
Me: ooh~ a wild vase girl appeared
Andre used flee
It seemed effective, but not for long.
5:53 this is a fractal, the type of pattern the guy in burned out was studying before dying
"...things I don't even remember losing..."
CHILLS
I hope they're all ok. The run at the end really startled me. It was so well done. Sounded so genuine, so much panic. I love it.
“Military tunic” 5:27 😳 did he sell this to the first guy in pageturner?!
Wait WHAT?! That actually sort of makes sense 😳
This one is so conceptually horrifying and sad.
I got stuck on a river while listening to this and now every time I go kyaking I remember this episode with perfect clarity.
and oh no :( my favorite person who posted the transcripts is gone... last episode too... where art thou?? 😭
If you're still looking for transcripts, you can find all of them at: snarp.github.io/magnus_archives_transcripts/episode/037.html
Some commenters have been copy-pasting them in here. Actually I just added the one for this episode :D
Rewatching Tma is remembering johns loud "RUN!" At the end of this ep and trying to time when to turn down your volume that way it doesn't startle you
THE WAY FREEZE WHEN HE SAID: "Sasha run. RUN!" OH MY GODDDD. THE FEAR HE HAD ON HIS VOICE.
Oh, the Salacia guy is the one the victim was meeting at the docks in Piecemeal!
does anyone know what other statement the antiques dealer was mentioned in?
I believe it was Piecemeal?
In Piecemeal, the guy who the main character later murders is having a meeting with the antiques dealer.
The voice acting on that last bit is just *chef’s kiss*
I just noticed, he sounds sinisterly happy when he says 'thanks for listening' at the end. Does anyone else feel like that?
That run at the end scared me so good
It makes me so uncomfortable hearing Jonathan screaming run at the end, his calm is completely gone
SAME
I personally have a theory that I'm not sure is true BUT either way Jon should know that killing spiders is not the best way to go.
Now for my theory, I think the spiders are actually the natural enemies of the worms. And since we know that fire kills the worms I think the lighter with the spiderweb might actually be good for Jon? Also, they seem to have discovered a new passage but what I think is more important is that as soon as Jon killed the spider (or at least made it move) the worms turned up again.
Now of course I might be wrong because I'm a 1st time listener but it's interesting to keep in mind
iam now seeing another pattern, fractals. They were mentioned before in other episodes as well.
recurring character! (whom I don't remember)
also he better not have killed the immortal spider because if he did, he is going to be hunted like that pooor man from the acrophobia episode.
I'm lowkey scared, please tell me Jane didn't make herself a home in the walls ToT
Damn. The ones themed around madness and memory are especially effective for me
Holy cow, the run at the end of this made my heart stop
I AN LISTENING TO THIS AT 3AM WHYWHYWHYWHY WHY AM I LIKE THIS
The spider and worm don't get along. Was it was warning him? Also, that yell of "RUN!" was very, very well done, and made me jump. Bravo once again, you wonderful voice actor.
