    So from what I gather these are the entities mentioned in the series:
    - flesh hive
    - Micheal the bone turner
    - the angler fish
    - angela the jigsaw witch
    - the shapeshifters
    - the burning demon
    - the choking darkness
    - the vampires/possibly death
    - the meat.. *shudder*
    - the unseen church
    - the freaking sky
    Important recurring characters:
    - the key family
    - the Lukas family
    -Jurgen lightner
    - the architect
    - Micheal Crew
    - Breecher and hope moving company

    • @TheNitpickChick
      @TheNitpickChick 3 ปีที่แล้ว +270

      Quick correction:
      Michael is not the bone turner. That’s Jared Hopworth. Big bulky bone boy.
      Michael with the bones in his hands is a different entity (that I won’t spoil details about in case first time listeners are reading this). He has long curly blonde hair and sharp hands, and is described as tall as thin.
      Also not to be confused with Michael Crew, the lightning scar man. (although he prefers to be called Mike, so that helps me differentiate) 😊

    • @TheNitpickChick

      Also:
      Keay, not Key
      Jurgen Leitner, not Lightner
      Breekon and Hope, not Breecher
      And the architect is Robert Smirke. (unless you mean a different architect.) ☺️

    I love how much of a nerd Jonathan Sims is in this story: even when he's being hunted by some kind of spooky worm entity, he takes the time to do dramatic readings of each of the testimonies he's transferring over to audio format. Guess you need to find joy in your work somehow!

I’m still on my first watch through, but I’ve seen how intense some viewers are with figuring everything out so I can tell it gets pretty intense later on. You’ve gotta have a pretty sharp mind and some heavy creative to be this good at that.

      Jared and Gerard are very different characters.
      Gerard Keay (aka Gerry) is the goth lad with dyed black hair and eye tattoos, who hunts down many a book, and tries to save people. 👁
      Jared Hopworth is the big bulky bone man who has read one (1) book and that’s only because it was about bones, and has never saved anyone ever. In fact most of the time people need to be saved from him. 💪🏻🦷🦴
      I know Jon pronounces Gerard and Jared the same, and it confused me the first time through too. So I’m trying to save y’all from that same confusion! 😅

    Breekon and Hope finishing each other's sentences is so weird. I mean, all of this was weird, but when they spoke, I was like "Waheey, wait a minute!" I have a feeling that the 13 passages represents the creatures that are recurring in this podcast. Also, that makes Gerard Keiy a sort of link to them, like he was a bounty hunter of the supernatural or something. Maybe just things related to Leitner. These are all just theories though, and I'm trying my best at deductive work before the beans are spilled, just for my own personal satisfaction. On a side note, I was still caught of guard by Jonathan's shouting at the worms even though I was already expecting it from the comments.

    Okay. Fourteen things. One was fire, one gravity (sky/heights), one was bones (Boneturner/Other book) and just flesh in general maybe (Angela, meat.). "A stranger in the dark I did not know but was sure meant me harm." Sounds like the Anglerfish, and maybe the Not-Graham or the clown doll too. Where was that calliope from? The circus of the Other. Imposters? The med students? Or would they be the bones and body horror stuff?
    Then we have Vampires and Werewolves so maybe one of them is the more traditional sense of a monster stalking you through the woods or streets.
    There's bugs and spiders, but the spiders ate the worms and spiders aren't insects, so maybe they're two separate things.
    Michael and Mike Crew both seem to have a connection to fractals? And possibly schizophrenia? Madness?
    Then there's the Piper who seems connected to bloodlust and butchery, and the hospital was a war hospital. Anywhere connected to violent death?
    Probably something to do with eyes. Definitely darkness.
    The tunnel they entered through made them claustrophobic, and reminded me of lost John's cave.
    The Lucas family... well, their entire thing seems to be solitude and loneliness. Maybe also being lost.
    I can't think of anything else, but that makes 13. That's all I got for now. (Yes, I have been taking notes after every episode. No, I am not embarrassed by this.)

      Technically there's a strong presence of all 14 fears here. Each passageway corresponds to one of them. The one they entered through was The Buried, Gerry went down the Flesh tunnel along with Alf, and they also mention ones with The Vast, The Dark, The Web, The Stranger, and The Desolation. They don't give direct reference to the others, but one can assume they're there as well.
      I don't think it was a trap Leitner set, as much as it was just being in the presence of too many Leitners. Robert Smirke's architecture is about balancing the fears, and Leitner used Smirke's work to help contain the books, both here, and later in the building he built specifically for holding them.
      My guess is that Alf ended up interacting with a particularly nasty Leitner, probably the one with the mummified hand on it, when Gerry grabbed the animal bone one.

    So this is the third time we've come across shelves packed with books and only one survives.
    The first was in 'Across the Street' and Graham's note books, all of which were destroyed except one. It just repeats the same sentence over and over again - something like 'Don't stop watching'. However, just because one book only had one sentence, it doesn't mean that others weren't a bit more verbose.
    The second was in 'Schwarzwald' and I assume that the book - in Arabic, but it might have been misidentified - ended up in the hands of the founder of The Magnus Institute but we never find out what it says.
    And now this book, written in Sanskirt, which sheds bones like other old books might drop dust.
    I have no idea what any of this means, but Mr. Simms question of whether the books remains in the tunnels were books that Leitner stored there, or where he got his more esoteric books is an interesting one.
    Because, if Mr. Magnus was taken by the book he (might have) received from his German noble friend, maybe he created the Institute to FIND more books, and thus is on the same side as Mr. Leitner (i.e. they are both evil) but most of the people at the institute don't know that.
    As well, I found it interesting that in 'The Dreamer' the shelves were covered in blood / tentacle juice. And in 'The Hive' the nest is described as 'a large pulpy mass' and the institute is infested and has so much paper...
    I'll be able to get to episode 40 before bed. I just hope I don't end up listening to season 2 to find answers to questions it raises.

    SPOILERS SPOILERS pls don't read this comment if this is your first listen through!!
    for my caught-up buddies (hang on in there for season five folks): was this intended as the earliest big clue we got with regards to the nature of the tma universe? like, am I to understand that what was stumbled across here was Smirke's attempt at 'balancing' the entities like he believed was possible? I mean, fourteen corridors, 'balance and fear', with references to one that induces 'claustrophobia', one that 'felt like I was about to fall into it', one 'so dark our torches didn't seem to reach more than a few feet inside'- that's the buried, the vast, and the dark, right? then they chase gerry down a tunnel that must belong to the flesh- 'the walls seemed oddly slimy... I put my hand onto the floor to push myself up and it came away faintly tinged with red', where he finds mary's leitner, so there's confirmation that that was of the flesh also. alf by all intents and purposes seems to have died of fear!!! 'a pile of paper completely covered in cobweb', 'a stranger I didn't know but was sure meant me harm', 'my skin burning, hot, choking on smoke down there in the dark'???? i'm losing my MIND with this damn podcast this is so incredibly clever??? like it was all there so early on I cant believe how little I thought about this episode on first listen????? intriguingly, the episode in which jon is first given the clues to the truth of his situation is also the episode the web first directly intervenes- unless i'm mistaken what's delivered at the end here is the table, or the lighter, or both- I don't remember. what does it all MEEEAAAAAN
