Anyone familiar with the Foundation, or any top-secret organization, knows that there
is a lot of information that cannot get out. Like under penalty of death, this info has
to stay top secret. Naturally, all the research done in writing
has to undergo a review process. Scientists and doctors write reports detailing
what they have found, and then someone with more clearance decides what can be safely
published, and what needs to have a big, black box placed on top of it.
You might be wondering what the difference between REDACTED and EXPUNGED is then, because
they both show up so often. Redacted information is stuff that is only
available to higher clearances. So it still exists, and is accessible, but
definitely not to everyone. If data is expunged, it’s gone gone.
That stuff has been deleted, put into a blender on pulse, and then burned.
The ashes are then baked into a loaf of dark bread, and fed to the ducks by the lake.
The ducks are then killed, their corpses freeze-dried, and all witnesses are administered amnestics.
What do you think TOP SECRET means? So of course, there is plenty of terrifying
information hiding behind the sharpie censors. The Foundation wants to keep this from the
general public, but that just makes us want to know more!
Hello horror heads, and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube: Top5ScaryVideos.
I’m your horror host, Keegan Hughes, and today we’re going to take a look at the
Top 5 Scariest Redacted SCP Monsters. Put on your sunglasses, and pull your ballcaps
down over your face, because we’re heading into some secret, spooky territory.
Before we get started, make sure to give this video a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more
SCP secrets! Fantastic, let’s get going.
NUMBER FIVE: SCP-579 Knowledge of the containment site for 579
has been deemed unnecessary for all non-essential personnel not involved in it’s containment.
In classic military style, this is on a total need-to-know basis, and you don’t need to
know. What we have been able to gleam from the report
is that this SCP must be kept in permanent suspension through the use of electromagnets.
The equipment required to do this is constantly monitored, and if any instrument is found
registering more than 0.2% outside of its median range of functioning, or displaying
any malfunctions, Action 326-Israfil will be immediately executed.
What is Action 326-Israfil you may ask? Well, any top-secret skip needs a top-secret
procedure to go along with it! There are two parts to this action, only to
be used in case of the other failing. 326-Israfil-A means that all doors and windows
on site will be sealed, and B means that the Gateway is to be destroyed, no matter what
casualties might entail. If both fail, no further action will be necessary.
Data expunged. That seems like a bad thing, huh.
There’s a whole timeline of expunged events that can be summed up by saying the Foundation
failed for ages to contain this thing, then tried to destroy it, and then moved it around
to a bunch of different locations. In the end, the current containment procedures
are holding strong, but who knows how long that will last.
This one worries me a lot, because there is literally zero useful information here, and
it seems like they really don’t have a handle on it.
Not that we would ever know if it broke out, you know, because DATA EXPUNGED.
NUMBER FOUR: SCP-1983 The location of this skip is redacted, and
it is very possible that the effects are not localized.
What we do know is that all anomalous events take place in and around a farmhouse in rural
Wyoming. This building was abandoned in 1968 after
a series of ritual murders, allegedly performed by a Satanic cult.
More details are available in capture logs for SCP-REDACTED.
Great. The front room of this building is anomalous,
not appearing to exist where it is supposed to.
Measurements of it are always off, and doors that should lead to it lead to other doors
inside the building. If you enter through the front door, and try
to double back, bad stuff happens. People have melted, and been pulled through
holes that no human should fit through. As you continue on through the rooms, the
locations each doorway lead to become patchwork. Some look like locations in houses, some look
like schools, and some are like shopping malls. Needless to say, it becomes nightmarish fast.
If the anomalous properties of the house aren’t bad enough, there are also heart-stealing,
shadowy humanoid monsters that hang out in it.
They can reach through people’s flesh and pull out their hearts with no apparent injury.
Then, more of the monsters will grow from the still-beating hearts.
Plus, the only way to kill them is to shoot them with a single bullet while genuinely
praying to your god. Good luck if your belief is weak.
NUMBER THREE: SCP-1000 BIGFOOT!
We’ve all heard this one before, but there are two parts to it.
The part you’ve likely heard about is the one that details a species of humanoid creatures
with a small chance of killing people on sight. Just immediate brain death when you see it.
Pretty freaky, right? Well guess what! IT WAS ALL A RUSE!
YOU HAD THE WOOL PULLED OVER YOUR EYES YOU IDIOT!
Most of the entry can be read as per usual, convincing the reader that the initial danger
is real. However, the real story is hidden behind LEVEL
3 CLEARANCE. The Foundation has willfully misdirected you
to keep everyone safe. They named the creature “Bigfoot” to make
it even harder to take seriously. There is no such thing as an anomalous psuedo-disease.
Nope, it doesn’t have a magical death aura, sorry.
I can’t believe you believed that! Sorry.
There’s actually nothing anomalous at all about Bigfoot.
It’s just a hairier humanoid. In fact, they’re just as smart as us.
It is true that they evolved alongside us, until a certain point.
But then, something changed. As we humans still scrounged around as hunter-gatherers,
the bigfeet became an advanced society, seemingly overnight.
They developed tools, weapons, agriculture, they even domesticated animals.
With these advances, they spread across the planet quickly, and soon had an entire society.
They invented things that we still don’t fully understand.
Somehow they came up with organic technology, turning trees and birds into fast-moving ships,
herds of animals into trains, bushes into flying vehicles.
After a little while of this, us regular humans almost went extinct.
But then, another strange shift occurred, and we were able to initiate an SK-class dominance
shift. In one day, we wiped out 70% of SCP-1000’s
population. Slaughter, mass destruction, technological annihilation.
After all was said and done, no traces were left, not even memories.
We turned one of their weapons on ourselves, and wiped any knowledge of 1000, along with
the greatest civilization we had ever seen. A few key humans retained their memories,
just in case, and passed the information on over generations.
Folks returned to their hunter-gatherer ways, and we evolved to where we are today.
So the Bigfeet we see today are just like us, but with the latent knowledge that we
took everything away from them No wonder the Foundation wants people to think
they’re dangerous. The scariest part?
This message discovered by a researcher: We forgive you; given choice for now, not
forever; let us back in. NUMBER TWO: SCP-2317
This one was originally thought to be related to 231 and 231-7.
The numerical resemblance is definitely there. However, it becomes apparent as you read through
the file that this was just a misinterpretation. There are seven iterations of the report,
each revealing more information. Each iteration requires a higher level of
clearance to access, meaning that the less you have, the more vague it will be, letting
your imagination fill in the gaps. If you were to look at the first few versions,
you would probably walk away with the idea that 2317 is the Scarlet King, or a version
of it. There are many similarities to other Scarlet
King entries, including a painstaking ritual. If you make it through all the way to the
last version, which requires O-5 level clearance, you realize that it's even worse than the
Scarlet King in some ways. The entity is revealed to be the REDACTED,
Devourer of Worlds. This cosmic creature was captured and imprisoned
by mystics in 1894, but the chains binding it were accidentally damaged.
Organizations predating the Foundation tried desperately to repair them, bankrupting themselves
in the process. So now, there isn’t much folks can do to
prevent its eventual escape. The biggest threat it poses is internal despair
and panic at the Foundation. So for the time being, false containment procedures
have been put in place. 220-Calabasas includes elements commonly known
from ritualistic magics, religious rites, occult organizations, and Special Containment
Procedures. These actions don’t actually do anything,
but they keep morale up by introducing a seemingly real way to keep it controlled.
If the chains do break, we could have an XK-Class scenario on our hands.
The O-5 member who okayed the false procedure has also expunged all data referencing the
actual threat. Gotta keep those minds safe!
NUMBER ONE: SCP-231 The OG top-secret, terrifying procedure: 110-Montauk.
This has been a topic of discussion for YEARS over at the Foundation: What is Procedure
110-Montauk? In fact, it’s so notorious, it has become
almost a boogeyman it itself. Researchers are terrified of Montauk duty,
and most are rumoured to be terminated after the fact, or totally memory-wiped with false
memories implanted. Sheesh, what’s the big deal?
The into to this entry states that all personnel assigned to 231 must rotate out bi-monthly
for a month of psychological counseling. Any transportation to and from the site must
see personnel blindfolded, with no fewer than seven different types of transportation.
Candidates must be unmarried, have no offspring, and display total loyalty to the Foundation.
While working on-site, their identities will be concealed via helmets and integrated voice
changers, along with matching uniforms. All off-duty hours are to be spent in private
quarters, alone. No records of serving on the 231 containment
team will remain on file. That’s a lot of secret information for one
skip! Holy christopher.
Why all the insanity, though? What makes this one special?
Well, SCP-231 is a weakened Scarlet King. Seven girls were rescued from a Scarlet King
sex cult, and taken into Foundation custody. Six of them died due to old containment procedures,
so 110-Montauk was developed. In order to keep the King within the last
girl, known as 231-7, vile, terrible acts must be performed.
231-7 must be restrained to a hospital bed at all times, save for during the performance
of 110-Montauk. She is fed via IV drip, and is not allowed
to be administered any narcotics, anasthesia, etc.
She needs to be aware of what is happening for it to be effective.
The procedure is carried out once every 24 hours, and must be monitored on CCTV for the
entirety of the event. Sound can be turned off if it becomes too
distressing. The high level of secrecy means that nobody
outside that lab knows what 110-Montauk is, leading to the proliferation of very disturbing
rumours. There are lots of theories as to what happens,
but none have been confirmed. I don’t want to say anything too dark on
the channel, but I do recommend that you research the different tales and theories on your own.
You might be surprised by what you find. OUTRO
So, what do you think? Plenty of redacted info throughout the SCP
universe, plenty of secrets to uncover. Which of the five is your favourite?
What REDACTED SCPs should make it onto a future list?
Make sure you let me know down in the comments. Speaking of comments, let’s take a look
at some of your more mysterious ones from TOP 5 SCARY DEMONS THAT COULD END THE WORLD
- PART 2: Rita Miller says: “Hide the pitchforks,
he’s onto us!” Pitchforks won’t do anything! I’d be more
concerned about the salt and iron! Deviculous’s Rostrum says “Why am I never
on the list” Even if you’re doing good demon work, if
you neglect to advertise it you won’t get discovered! Start demon networking, maybe
post on some demon forums! Get the awareness up!
Neon Crayon says “Kpop fans” Dude! Be careful! The stans can sense comments
like that from miles away! I’d consider applying for witness protection at this point.
Kami Tenchi says “Demons are real” Damn straight, be careful out there! I’m
struggling with personal demons these days, but the more biblical ones are dangerous too.
Lucifer says “Somebody call Devil May Cry” Dante’s been sulking alone in a dark room
ever since Byleth got added to smash over him. Poor guy.
And that’s all the time we have for today! Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you next
time!
