I discover something new about the SCP universe every time I load up the wiki.
There are so many articles, it’s hard to believe that everything is out there, waiting
to be read. Even if you don’t like the more popular
SCP entries, or think that they’re played out, there are plenty of stories that might
cater to your tastes. It’s a veritable treasure trove of terror
and creativity. The more you read, the more invested you become,
finding more and more entries that flesh out the hidden world even more.
Some stand alone, some blend in with the crowd. Regardless, you’ll be coming back for more.
It’s almost… out of the ordinary how fascinating the content is.
Like, there might be something compelling readers to continue on down the rabbit hole.
Do you think the wiki… is it anomalous itself? Hello horror heads, and welcome back to the
scariest channel on YouTube: Top5ScaryVideos. I’m your horror host, Keegan Hughes, and
today we’re counting down the Top 5 Scary SCP Monsters That Can Never Escape - Part
13. Before we get started, make sure to give this
video a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more terrifying creatures.
Wicked, let’s begin. NUMBER FIVE: SCP-860
Some doors are just meant to remain shut. Nowhere is this more apparent than within
the pocket dimension SCP 860 brings into existence. The SCP itself is a dark blue key that looks
like any other key. At random, a series of numbers will appear
on the key, representing coordinates somewhere in the world.
So far, the coordinates have marked out locations in Germany, England, and at a Foundation site.
The key will fit any door lock in the area of the given coordinates.
When the key is inserted, and turned to open the door, the threshold will lead to a different
location. A small forest clearing with a footpath will
be revealed, with blue mist hanging in the air.
As soon as someone enters, the door will automatically close and lock, leaving the person alone in
the forest, with no turning back. If the subject follows the footpath, they
will be lead to another, similar door, which will lead to the usual location of the original
door. Through many explorations of this area, some
strange occurrences have been discovered. Weird, distorted howls have been reported
by subjects, as well as the sensation that they are being followed.
The first couple subjects made it through alright, although the second reported being
beckoned by something. This was followed by the subject disappearing
off the path, and the key remaining stuck in the door for 7 months.
At the end of this time, the subject returned, noticeable aged, and calmer than before.
Subject three attempted to destroy the door, which apparently was a bad call.
A large paw appeared on the camera feed, and nobody’s heard from the subject since.
In the most recent exploration, the mist appeared red, and the path changed from dirt to cobblestone,
and also became forked. The man was hunted by whatever has been stalking
the pines up until this point, and before audio cut out, a strange noise was heard.
If you take the clip, and play it backwards, you hear: I see you.
What the motives of this creature are, I can’t claim to know.
What I do know is that it is big, strong, creepy, and able to kill humans.
If it escapes the anomalous doors, it can and likely will wreak havoc.
NUMBER FOUR: SCP-3312 This memetic agent exists under the false
identity of a fan website. It sneaks its way into people’s lives, and
makes them compulsively consume products, media, and content related to various fanbases.
The most notable fanbase related to 3312 involves furries.
A tale as old as the internet. However, the anomalous effects will only take
hold of those with no prior involvement in the furry community.
Upon being exposed to the memetic agent, folks will display a heightened interest in anthropomorphic
characters in mainstream media. This will intensify over time, through six
marked stages. Soon, they will initiate participation in
the furry community, including the creation of a fursona, and joining in on roleplay.
After this, affected individuals will seek out internet users who share negative views
on the community, and introduce them to 3312. At this point, the spread increases exponentially,
and anyone involved will become borderline obsessive.
This could look like many things, including running several role-playing accounts, the
purchase of animal costumes, consistent attempts to contact a prominent member called olliefox,
and the creation of a political party concerning the desires of furries.
After this, the individuals will assume the role of a prepubescent child, and will cease
to be able to attend to their own needs. Their living conditions rapidly become unfit
for any human, and they abandon any people outside of their online community.
They will then undergo the delusion that they are indeed an anthropomorphic character, and
perpetuate this by any means necessary. This results in rejection by the non-anomalous
community, following events like attempted intercourse with wild animals, heat-related
deaths associated with animal costumes, deaths from great heights among those with winged
animal characters, and firearm attacks. The final stage of this anomalous transformation
involves a total loss of higher cognitive functions.
The individuals will regress to instinctual behaviours, and their prior personality will
be destroyed. They’ll still possess human speech, but
it will be characterized by childlike pronunciations and heightened pitch.
The final stage also involves heightened aggression towards all people, and the 3312 sufferers
will kill indiscriminately. All while saying things like hewwo, mr powice
officew. My goodness.
NUMBER THREE: SCP-2718 This is an interesting one, because some Foundation
personnel want it buried, while others think the world has a right to know about it.
We’ll see if it ever really makes it to the public at large.
2718 is apparently a cognitohazard, but if you look a little closer, you’ll notice
that it’s actually just insanely hard to find in the Foundation database.
It’s constantly being pushed deeper and deeper, with additional layers of security
added. The fact that it’s under DAMMERUNG clearance
is stated like, five times in the article. Plus the classification and number keep changing.
Somebody wants to make sure this stays HIDDEN hidden.
So what is 2718, really? You sure you want to know?
Okay, well, it’s the fact that your mind and consciousness remain in your corpse after
you die. All Senku, no Taiju.
This means that you feel your own body decaying, breaking down, being consumed, etc.
The pain doesn’t stop when your body ceases to be, either.
Nope, everyone will just be in intense agony forever and ever and ever.
No mouth, no screaming. Just immeasurable pain.
This was all discovered when the council resurrected O5-11, who then reported on what the afterlife
was like. Pretty terrible, by the sounds of it.
Everyone is afraid of this discovery, and its implications.
For these reasons, the O5 Council has decided to try and stop human death forever.
So far, they haven’t been too successful. Soon after the initial discovery, somebody
clued into the fact that everyone is anomalously scared of 2718, and that it should probably
be erased from memory altogether. Before it could be totally wiped, though,
O5-11 decided that people had a right to know, and ensured that if someone tries to delete
or edit the entry, large portions of the database will become corrupted.
The council still went through with their plan though, killed O5, and erased 2718 from
everyone’s minds. Now it’s chilling in the deep, dark depths,
trying its best not to be discovered. But now you know! Who’s excited for an eternity
of formless suffering? NUMBER TWO: SCP-2571
We’re still not sure if this is a real place or not, but ideally it will be prevented from
spreading any further than it has. This is quite difficult though, as it is just
a dream, affecting people with seemingly no pattern.
Cragglewood Park consistently appears in the dreams of 0.05% of the world’s population.
It’s mostly common among adults who were raised as only children, but this is only
one trend that’s been noticed. The dreams are largely upsetting to those
who experience them, as they associate them with their own memories, even though there’s
no evidence of them ever being to the seemingly fictional theme park.
Amnestics purge these memories at first, but they always seem to resurface once treatment
wraps up. Wherever these memories are coming from, they
want to remain in the minds of people. Recurring themes include: being between the
ages of 4 and 12 while visiting, there being numerous anthropomorphic trees and plants
present, no adults present, calliope music, other, unknown children being around, and
there being only one ride: a carousel. While there were always other kids on the
carousel, the subjects themselves never rode. You’d think a theme part would involve smiles
and laughter. Well, the kids in the memories do smile and
laugh, but only to keep from crying. Subjects have claimed to want to keep the
trees happy, to ensure that they didn’t know they were scared.
But this is all just a dream, right? What’s the big deal?
Well, one subject in particular actually found an old cassette tape labelled CRAGGLEWOOD
in their childhood home. It documents the experience of two children
making their way through the park. In the end, one child has to go on the carousel,
and one doesn’t. This knowledge is very upsetting to the two
children, and after some teary-eyed goodbyes, they part ways.
Screengrabs from the tape were uploaded to the wiki, and let’s just say I can understand
why the kids were so upset. These smiling tree mascots are, uhhhh, not
as friendly as one might imagine. And it seems that being raised as a single
child doesn’t always mean you never had a sibling.
Don’t follow the organ music. NUMBER ONE: SCP-2480
The Sarkics are one of the most prolific and dangerous Groups of Interest in the SCP universe.
This town is no exception. Right now it’s presumed neutralized, which
is a freaky little classification. From safe, to Keter, to we don’t really
know where this is. Oh jeez.
2480 is a dimensional anomaly in Massachusetts, centered around a manor owned by someone in
the cult known as Adytum’s Wake. Adytum is a city, ruled over by the Grand
Karcist Ion. It seems that the Wake is trying to kill Ion,
potentially to take control of some Sarkic sects.
Whatever ritual was performed here went terribly wrong, though, leading to some deaths in the
family. Self-inflicted gunshot wounds, implosion,
fatal physical reconfiguration, you know, all the normal stuff.
Researchers had noticed all sorts of weirdness in the town, like way too many children in
each house, and suspicious deaths, but didn’t know the truth of it until they started taking
exploratory DMT. This drug allowed people to see beyond the
veneer, into the strange, warped reality. The town was full of invisible, hooded figures,
with buildings made of flesh. The messages HE IS DREAMING WAR, and ADYTUM
WILL RISE are found, which seems to me like a doomsday waiting to happen.
And of course, what’s a creepy Lovecraftian town without some monsters?
2480 is home to massive humanoids, 4 meters talls, covered in pale flabby flesh, walking
around with their massive toothy mouths and three-fingered hands covered in viscera.
Do not approach them, okay? It’s been discovered that the flesh around
the town in mostly human, and that this reality is bleeding into ours.
The Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition have teamed up to manage this anomaly, which
is a sure sign of something crazy going on. There’s no other explanation for these two
organizations working together. None.
So buckle up, and maybe leave New England to the New Englanders.
We’re not sure what’s gonna happen next. Presumed neutralized, yeah right.
OUTRO There you have it! Five sparkling, blood-soaked
new additions to our SCP series. What do you think?
Which one would you least like to run into? Are there any you think are survivable?
Make sure you let me know down in the comments! Speaking of comments, let’s take a look
at some of your more corny ones from the TOP 5 SCARY SCP SECRET SOCIETIES:
The Crossroad Gathering says “The Serpent’s Hand is pretty cool”
The Serpent’s Hand IS pretty cool! Just a bunch of anomalous folks trying not to be
killed or imprisoned. They just want to live, damn it!
R.J. Ehlert says “I like the Amnestic Hipster Cooperative; but you probably haven’t heard
of them.” I actually liked them before they were cool,
but these days I can’t seem to remember why…
Iron Ox says “Well, I was going to throw away my rusty fork, but, since you asked…”
Thank goodness! Get to disemboweling straightaway. Corseted Angel says “My fictional dream
job is being in product development for MC&D” I too dream of having unlimited resources
at my job for the mega-rich. Natzo89 says “Not the most dangerous? SCP-5000
disagrees.” Okay, fair point. But for the sake of lists,
and considering that the Foundation is kind of like our protagonist in most cases, we’ll
ignore that alternate universe for now. And that’s all the time we have for today!
