“WHEN THE CIRCUS CAME TO TOWN” and “THE ALONE SHOW COVERUP” #WeirdDarkness #ThrillerThursday

The circus came overnight, but when it left, three boys were dead—and I was no longer human. *** There are contestants from TV’s reality show “Alone” whom you’ve never seen—because they never made it back.IN THIS EPISODE: In this Thriller Thursday episode, Stephanie Scissom writes of when a circus unexpectedly arrived in a small city, and along with the fun, merriment and laughter, there was a dark, dreary, and dangerous element. It’s “When The Circus Came to Town.” And, an author who goes by the alias 5yn brings a story of what happened on the set of History’s show, “Alone” - something that they covered up. It’s no wonder he’s writing under an assumed name. The story is simply called, “Alone.”CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Show Open00:01:37.074 = When The Circus Came To Town00:14:19.506 = Alone00:51:33.856 = Show Close, Verse, and Final Thought00:52:54.430 = BloopersSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“When The Circus Came to Town” by Stephanie Scissom: https://tinyurl.com/y7slhth9“Alone” by 5yn: https://tinyurl.com/ybcllfpn=====Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TV=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
