The Deadly Alt Ball - Cursed Circus

Roll up, roll up! Witness the amazing spectacle!
On the outskirts of Birmingham, The Deadly Circus now lies abandoned, shunned by the locals.
When the circus first arrived in town it seemed like any other travelling show, but the longer it stayed, the more the local's curiosity turned to discomfort. Rumours spread that the performers weren't entirely human. They didn't sleep, didn't eat, didn't seem to age. The locals began to refer to the performers as "freaks" and tried to run them out of town, until eventually a fire tore through the circus grounds and the performers were never seen again. That was decades ago, and the circus grounds have lain empty ever since.
Over the past few months new rumours have started to circulate about the circus site. Locals claim to have heard music, seen lights, and even heard crowds cheering from the abandoned site at night. Posters have started mysteriously appearing around the city, inviting people to the circus ground for a one night only extravaganza, exactly 50 years on from the night it was burnt down.
Are you brave enough to return?
