Most of us are able to live our lives never in immediate paranormal danger.
Thank goodness.
But if we subscribe to the SCP way of thinking, we can accredit that to the lovely Foundation,
who secure, contain, and protect all sorts of unexplainable entities.
As you already probably know, there are some nasty things out there that would love to
see you hollowed out or crushed underneath their hooves, and it would be wonderful if
they stayed locked up forever.
Lord have mercy if they ever escape.
Hello horror heads, and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube, Top5ScaryVideos.
I’m your horror host, Keegan Hughes, and we’re back with a part two of the top 5
SCP monsters than can never escape.
I’ve done my best to scour the SCP archives and come up with some of the less well known,
but equally dangerous, creatures that would be better off behind bars.
As per usual, make sure to give us a big thumbs up, and subscribe if you want to see more
SCP content.
Let's get going.
NUMBER FIVE: SCP-2872 This SCP is usually an exceptional racehorse
of excellent size and speed.
Its record in the Kentucky Derby stands at 2:01, and it doesn’t noticeably age.
Aging aside, it does not usually exhibit any anomalous behaviour, it just looks and acts
like a regular racehorse.
However, it must win the Kentucky Derby once every five years.
If it does not find itself draped in roses within five years of winning it’s previous
Derby, it will become restless and start to run in large loops.
Within two days, it will be continuously running, getting faster and faster until it is able
to demolish any fence or wall in its way.
Somehow, it is never physically harmed by any impact while in this state.
If left unimpeded, it will reach a top velocity of approximately 320 meters per SECOND, and
will continuously run in loops across distances measuring hundreds of kilometers.
This does not mean it’s unstoppable, however.
If it hears the words “Whoa, boy!” it will stop over a period of 50 meters.
However, the sound must be adjusted to take into account the Doppler effect before it
will have the desired effect.
The horse was discovered at some point in the 60’s, when it caused over $30 million
in damages.
It was calmed down successfully by the owner at the time, and custody of SCP-2872 was transferred
to the Foundation.
The owner explained the five-year principle, and promptly skedaddled.
He hasn’t been seen since.
Since then, the horse has hit what was assumed to be top speed twice.
However, the Foundation found a private stable and trainer who seemed to be adept at keeping
the horse sedate.
At some point in the 2010’s, it began to show agitation again.
Tranquilizers were ineffective, and the failsafe “Whoa, boy!” did not work.
SCP-2872 erupted from its cell, causing injuries and fatalities, and ran off into the wastelands.
At some point it achieved escape velocity, and achieved liftoff.
Yup, you heard me right, the horse ran so fast it defied gravity.
Out of our atmosphere, and off into space.
At this time, it is 10 light-years away from our solar system, and appears to have lost
forward momentum.
Current analysis suggests that it is turning back.
Uh oh.
When I said it can never escape, I actually meant “it can never escape the cold darkness
of outer space,” but apparently it’s just that fast.
I don’t think Earth is ready for that kind of impact.
NUMBER FOUR: SCP-1498 You might want to reconsider counting sheep
before falling asleep after I tell you about this one.
SCP-1498 is a collection of 30 autonomous bundles of phone cords and handsets, assembled
in such a way they resemble sheep.
These twirly-corded creatures constantly wander their containment chambers, ringing away every
once in a while.
If someone answers the phone, or attempts to use the handset, they will hear three rings
followed by a voice identifying themselves as an operator of the Oneiroi Collective.
The operator will instruct the subject on various dreaming options, and make suggestions
for enhanced dreaming experiences.
Once the call is ended, the subject will lose consciousness for nine hours.
That’s more sleep than I've had all year, lucky bastard.
When they awake, the subject will claim to have experienced the exact dream they ordered.
They will likely want to re-use the phone immediately.
If someone uses this service repeatedly, the will experience changes to their bodily and
mental state.
They will want to sleep as often as possible, and prefer to use the SCP to select their
dreams.
While asleep, parts of their skull will begin to be replaced by telephone parts.
Sometimes this manifests through the coughing up of telephones, cords extending into their
esophagus, wires growing in place of hair, ringing devices being found in ears, and their
voice being replaced with dial tones.
Doesn’t sound like too much fun if you ask me.
Imagine if these sheep were just out in the world, luring people in with a cure for insomnia,
and then replacing their body parts with phone pieces.
I’m sure some folks would even do it voluntarily, knowing the risks.
Eventually a whole rotary phone will assemble itself on the subjects head, and they will
display the same intelligence as instances of SCP-1498.
There have been no cases of human intelligence being restored in such cases.
I hope the dreams were worth it.
NUMBER THREE: SCP-4276 These next couple entries are some particularly
nasty insects, who could very well be indistinguishable from their regularly-occurring counterparts.
Fair warning, you may never want to leave the house again.
SCP-4276 is a tribe of insects similar to what is commonly known as the cukoo wasp.
They have many similarities, including kleptoparasitic breeding habits, and structural colouration.
However, this SCP can manifest in many more colours, and has been known to grow larger
than non-anomalous ones.
It’s behaviour is hard to distinguish from the average cukoo wasp, save for an ability
to grow to maturity much faster.
Instead of hosting its larvae in eggs, SCP-4276 will introduce the baby bugs to both living
and freshly killed animals.
Recorded instances of this behaviour have been found in: four white-tailed deer, two
desert cottontails, one red fox, one black bear, one german shepard, and four human males.
Yup, these nasty bastards will burrow into living humans.
Anyone else feeling itchy?
The colony was originally discovered at the cottage of a hunter, where the wasps had infested
the lodgings, and burrowed into the man and three guests.
Once they’re ready to hatch they burst out of the flesh, leaving small holes all throughout
the host.
The colony was controlled with smoke, and brought under the Foundation’s custody.
While researching the behaviour of these horrifying insects, it was discovered that hatching and
maturation can be accelerated through the use of noises exceeding 90db, and irregular
or extreme illumination.
This became all the more horrifying when another instance was introduced at the local high
school’s prom.
Loud music, flashing lights, you do the math.
A Foundation account details a student being so full of these rapidly growing wasps that
he exploded.
It’s like becoming a human hive.
So now we know there’s more than one colony, and they may not all be under Foundation custody.
Excuse me as I go douse myself in gasoline.
NUMBER TWO: SCP-775 If that last one gave you the heebie-jeebies,
prepare yourself.
This one isn’t any better.
775 is a variety of tick, significantly larger than regular ticks.
Most un-engorged adults end up around the size of a nickel.
If you’ve ever seen a normal tick, you know that no tick should be that big.
In addition to being huge, these ticks are resistant to crushing, cutting, and tearing.
So, anything you would do to kill a normal one won’t be so effective here.
Plus, they move fast.
They are also capable of flattening down to 25mm to escape through tiny gaps, and actually
damaging concrete over time.
These abilities would make any tiny bloodsucker extra awful, but just you wait, it gets way
worse.
Blood isn’t the only thing on the menu, as these ticks inject an enzyme that liquefies
other tissues.
Bone, blood vessels, fats, all food for these buggers.
The only thing it doesn’t target is skin tissue.
Once engorged with all of the host’s gooey insides, it will lay an egg sac, and resume
feeding.
In fact, it will not stop feeding until the host is totally incapable of providing further
nutrients.
That means the hosts will eventually be totally hollowed out, leaving behind just the outer
layers of skin.
Imagine a totally deflated human, and you’ll start to get the picture.
But the skin doesn’t just get left alone like a soggy balloon, no, the ticks then get
to work laying more eggs.
The loose skin will be totally filled to the brim with eggs, taking on bloated, misshapen
forms.
Eventually, the ticks will fill these “nests” beyond capacity, and they will burst like
a greasy zit.
The accelerated life cycle of these nasties mean they can constantly undergo population
explosions.
If left unchecked, they could decimate populations within weeks.
Bleach seems to be the only way of effectively killing them, and that's only when they’re
submerged for more than five minutes.
The Foundation has their hands full containing these ones.
NUMBER ONE: SCP-2316 Before you continue watching, please confirm
that you do not recognize the bodies in the water.
It is extremely important that you do not recognize the bodies in the water.
This SCP is a cognitohazard, meaning that just knowing details about it can cause you
to fall under its effect.
Even though it’s not likely to never escape, knowledge most definitely will be shared,
compounding the danger.
It manifests as a group of human corpses floating in a small group at the surface of the water
in a lake.
The lake has been quarantined and fenced off, and is constantly patrolled by guards with
no knowledge of SCP-2316.
The identities of the bodies cannot be shared, due to the risk of cognitive damage, and DNA
tests have proven inconclusive.
You do not recognize the bodies in the water.
While they do appear as individual instances, it is theorized that the bodies may be an
entity composed of a collective consciousness.
Those who have viewed it, or are aware of its nature, believe that the individual instances
are human beings they recognize, typically from their childhood.
Attempting to come in contact with these instances will cause other bodies to appear.
Additional instances serve to reinforce and add to the strength of the cognitohazard,
which compels affected individuals into the water.
Individuals who enter the lake this way are lost, and none have been recovered.
No, they’re not going for a swim.
One last time, you do not recognize the bodies in the water.
Or do you?
OUTRO And there you have it: another five SCPs that
can never escape.
We should be safe, right?
Let me know if there are any SCP’s I overlooked down in the comments.
Before we finish, lets take a look at some of the comments from our last video:
Indiana Jones says “The bear is the most terrifying of all SCPs ever found.
Its evil, pure evil.”
You’re damn right Indie, you’re damn right.
Nocturnas Interfector says “An American guy on this channel?
Interesting.”
Sorry to disappoint, but I’m actually Canadian.
Maple syrup, hockey, moose, all that jazz.
And with that, we’ll finish up!
