Secure.
Contain.
Protect.
These are the guiding principles of the ever-popular Foundation, an organization that is entrusted
with the task of containing anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena.
You all very well know that SCPs can range from cuddly and cute to dangerous and demonic,
with some exhibiting all of the previous traits.
These SCPs are all contained for a reason, some being more heavily guarded than others,
for obvious reasons.
Some are so dangerous that they could totally alter the way our world works if ever to slip
through the iron grip of the Foundation.
Now we’ve talked before about SCPs that could end the world, and ones that we’d
rather keep locked up, but today we’re talking about ones that can never escape.
The consequences would be treacherous indeed.
Hello horror heads, and welcome back to the spookiest SCP-citing channel on YouTube: Top5ScaryVideos.
I’m your newest horror host, Keegan Hughes, and today we’re counting down the Top 5
SCP’s That Can Never Escape.
Before we get started, make sure you give us a big thumbs up and subscribe if you want
more SCP content.
Let’s get started.
NUMBER 5: SCP-1048 Do you remember your childhood teddy bear?
What did it look like?
Did you wish it could walk around on its own and play with you?
Well, this SCP might have been exactly what you were looking for.
Just be thankful that you didn’t actually have this toy as a kid.
SCP-1048 is a small teddy bear, around 33 centimeters in height.
There doesn’t seem to be anything differentiating it from a regular teddy bear, except for one
thing: it can move on its own.
It walks around, and communicates through a small range of gestures.
Affectionate and endearing to people it encounters, it likes to give people hugs on the leg, dance,
jump in place, and draw child-like pictures.
Direct communication has yet to be successful, and although it can answer yes or no questions,
it will not react to lines of questioning about its nature or origin.
Nor will it use it’s artistic abilities to communicate beyond showing affection.
Seems cute and nice, right?
Why should we be worried about it escaping?
Oh, that's right, because it’s actually TERRIFYING AND BLOODTHIRSTY.
At one point this teddy bear was actually classified as Safe, but has since been reclassified
to the extremely dangerous Keter.
About seven months after being secured, anomalous behaviour started to be observed.
It constructed crude replicas of itself using various materials without anyone’s knowledge.
Some believe that it used its endearing qualities to lull those around it into a false sense
of security.
Currently, we know about three of it’s creations: designated SCP-1048-A, B, and C.
The behaviour of these replicas is different from the original, as they all exhibit extreme
violence towards humans.
1048-A is a teddy resembling the original, but disgustingly enough, is comprised entirely
of human ears.
You heard me right, it’s a teddy bEAR.
When discovered by a group of people at the containment site, 1048-A emitted a high-pitched
shriek, hurting the eyes and ears of all nearby.
Ear-like growths start to form all over the bodies of people nearby, and anyone affected
will die of asphyxiation within three minutes.
The asphyxiation is caused by a multitude of ear-shaped growths suddenly developing
in the mouth and trachea of all victims.
That has to be one of the grossest ways to go.
I bet there’s little tiny ear wax in there too, eughhh.
1048-C is a little guy made up of rusted metal scraps, that has been witnessed killing and
maiming multiple Foundation members.
A report from a doctor on the scene stated “I cannot stress this enough.
The damn thing jumped right THROUGH those poor people.”
A rusty scrap bear blasting through your chest cavity, yikes.
I don’t even want to discuss 1048-B, as it is so extremely disturbing.
Like, seriously.
The information about this one is being withheld from survivors undergoing therapy because
it is believed to be something that will be highly detrimental to their recovery.
The link to this SCP is in the description, so if you’re still curious you can read
it yourself.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
As of right now, 1048 and it’s counterparts are nowhere to be found, but it is suspected
to be somewhere within site 24.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t sneak it’s way out and find more materials to work with.
I’ll leave this one with one more quote from Dr. Carver: “This is not a joke.
We have no idea what SCP-1048’s full capabilities are.
Who knows how many of the damn things are out there by now?”
NUMBER FOUR: SCP-902 This one is a perfect example of the old saying:
Innocence is bliss.
Relegated to Arctic Base Theta-12, it is the only SCP to be contained at this site.
There are 50 security personnel keeping watch at all times, and no research is to be done
on this object.
It is considered imperative that only a very limited number of senior Foundation staff
know about this.
It is so dangerous, that in the event of a security breach the whole facility will be
demolished by way of hydrogen bomb.
That is some serious security.
The item itself is what appears to be an ammunition box roughly the size of an adult human head.
It’s made of lead, and the composition of the item inside is unknown.
It’s constantly ticking, and anyone who hears this becomes convinced that the item
is counting down to something.
When it is opened, it appears empty but the ticking continues.
Anyone who becomes aware of SCP-902 immediately becomes convinced that it is horribly dangerous,
and needs to be destroyed as soon as it finishes counting down.
Staff who are exposed to the box will open and close it over and over, trying to find
the item inside.
The end of the report on this item implies that even knowing about this box will doom
someone to a form of madness.
It reads: “There is no object.
There is an object.
It has to be destroyed, when the countdown stops.
We are doing great work.
We have to be stopped.”
Looks like the box already has its mind-hooks firmly planted in the report-writer.
I suppose that means that I’ve been exposed to this box as well.
And now that I’ve made this video, so have you!
Can anyone else hear that?
That ticking?
It can’t be me, I’m wearing a digital watch.
We should find that box.
Who’s with me?
NUMBER THREE: SCP 4480 I always knew that snake-oil salesmen were
trouble, but this SCP brings it to a whole other level.
SCP-4480 is a humanoid entity, able to adjust its appearance and produce identification
at will.
It is known to have had influence over many bureaucratic structures throughout the world,
including the Foundation.
4480 is always selling patent medicine, homeopathic remedies, and mercurial substances with dubious
medical value.
So, like I said before: a snake oil salesman.
The gender, sex, race, height, and other physical attributes of this disgraced doctor vary based
on the context of its location.
I guess that means it could very well become an Instagram influencer hawking hair tonic
and skinny tea.
It will spend most of its time dormant, during which it travels to locations known to be
suffering from epidemics of disease, addiction, and mental illness.
Almost always it will head to disease vectors like factories, shipping centers, or between
offices and other bureaucratic structures.
Often these places are where individuals sacrifice their physical and mental well-being for perceived
economic and social gains.
Once there, it will offer medical services to the individuals, sometimes helpful, sometimes
harmful, and sometimes with placebo effects.
This snake-oil salesman really commits to the act.
Once accepted by the community, it will begin an activity that the Foundation has classified
as “Vex Events” It will use its power to change policies and
procedures in organizations to create dangerous and hostile work environments.
Labourers will be deliberately exposed to disease and unclean materials.
Once this happens, the diseases spread quickly in communities.
Depending on the number of casualties caused by these outbreaks, SCP-4480 will gain an
increased quantity of its medical merchandise.
This could be the motivation for these Vex Events, as Dr. Snakeoil over here has been
known to self-medicate.
It has been around for at least a century, and we’re unclear as to how many bureaucratic
organizations it has infiltrated.
Currently it is being monitored by the Foundation in a containment facility, where it is believed
to be acting as Dr. Sam Edwards.
If Edwards decides to move somewhere else, the Foundation is sure to follow.
NUMBER TWO: SCP-2628 I have a creeping suspicion that this one
has already evaded the containment procedures put into place by the Foundation.
I know a lot of people who exhibit symptoms of contact with this.
We’re all on our phones and computers so much anyways, most people probably wouldn’t
even notice!
SCP-2628 is a botnet comprised of an unknown amount of internet-connected devices.
It is currently unknown who is responsible for it.
The botnet intercepts and falsifies content shown to users of affected devices.
The alterations are difficult to predict, but several major trends have been identified:
-Employment slash academic opportunities and social gatherings are altered to seem unappealing
or inconvenient, except when they can be performed mostly on the affected device.
-Content describing negative consequences of sedentary behavior and/or extended computer
usage is deleted.
-Communications expressing concern or disapproval of the user's behavior instead express acceptance
or approval.
-The utility of various activities that conflict with the usage of the affected device (i.e.
sleeping, driving, bathing) are understated.
-Services that enable greater usage of the affected device (i.e. online food delivery,
telecommuting utilities) are promoted.
-Outdoor air pollution is overstated.
Indoor air pollution is understated.
These are all things that would encourage the user to stay indoors, and keep on using
that device as much as possible.
Imagine if all of your concerts and parties and work opportunities were changed to look
impossible to attend through anything other than your phone.
Usually the alterations are believable in both content and presentation, but they do
become more dramatic when the device is in use for an extended period of time.
These phones are sucking people in and not letting them go!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were brainwashing and staging people for further manipulation.
Matrix here we come.
Heavy use of the infected device actually seems to heighten the mood of users, and there
are severe withdrawal symptoms when one is forced to use uninfected devices or perform
other activities.
Modern addiction at its finest.
Devices infected with SCP-2628 may be destroyed or kept for study as necessary, and any civilian
known to have used an infected device is given amnetics and a replacement device.
Somehow these measures just don’t seem like enough to stop the spread of this botnet.
We all know how fast things go viral.
NUMBER ONE: SCP-2006 Before we get into this one, think of the
absolute scariest thing you can.
Losing a family member, nuclear war, Lovecraftian Outer Gods.
Have you thought of something?
Good.
Keep that in mind as we proceed.
SCP-2006 is an anomalous spherical entity roughly 50cm in diameter when in its default
state.
It has stated that its goal is to cause feelings of fear and or horror in as many humans as
possible.
It can change into any form while pursuing this goal, altering its shape, mass, volume,
density, chemical structure, voice, and more.
The extent of these abilities is unknown, but assumed to be unlimited.
There is no way to damage it.
Every month is must be shown at least one new extremely low-quality horror or science
fiction movie containing horror elements.
All interaction with SCP-2006 must confirm that it continues to believe that said works
demonstrate a superb grasp of horror.
All staff coming in contact with it must also take an acting course with a focus on expressing
fear and surprise.
This is because it will attempt to startle and or scare any individual it comes in contact
with.
After it has been satisfied with the fear being exhibited by personnel, it becomes affable
and friendly.
Even with its goal being to cause as much fear as possible, it is not very good at judging
what people are actually scared of.
It’s constantly searching for new methods, thus the bad horror movies.
It loves taking the form of various entities and villains from horror and sci-fi movies
it has witnessed.
Are you starting to understand why it only gets to watch really bad, not scary horror?
The site director at Site 118 issued a memorandum regarding SCP-2006
“I have been getting reports of some of the lax behavior regarding SCP-2006.
Many personnel have been heard laughing at SCP-2006 during surveillance when it watches
a new movie, or when it attempts to scare individuals.
Some personnel have been heard questioning why SCP-2006 is classified as a Keter entity.
I am here to REMIND you that a Keter entity is a Keter entity, regardless of how innocuous
it may seem.
No, SCP-2006 is not a rampaging demi-god, nor is it a regenerating super lizard.
However, it possesses the same level of danger as any other Keter that the Foundation has
contained.
Think of SCP-2006's purpose.
It wishes to scare people.
Imagine what would happen if SCP-2006 broke containment, and found out what really scared
people.
Imagine if it saw the horror and fear of war, or the concepts of paranoia or phobias common
to each and every human being.
Imagine if it found the true horror of a nuclear holocaust or an XK-Class scenario.
Now couple that with an entity that possesses shape-shifting abilities with no known limits,
and you'll understand why it's classified as Keter.”
So think back to what I had you imagine at the beginning of this entry.
If 2006 were to escape, it would likely find you one day and enact the very thing that
frightens you to your core.
And once it comes across the more existential fears inside humans, oh boy.
OUTRO And there you have it!
The top 5 SCPs that can never escape!
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, aren’t SCPs so cool?
Do you agree with my list?
What SCP would you have added?
Is this something you’d like to see more of?
Let me know down in the comments.
Before we end our time together, I want to remind you to fire a big thumbs up, and subscribe
if you haven’t already.
Stay on your toes, and be careful around your teddy bears.
Until next time, stay spooky.
Thanks for watching.
