The SCP Foundation is a fictional organization, that much we know, however, did you know a
lot of the SCP’s housed in the foundation are based off of real things...to an extent.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m going to be counting down our list of the Top 5
Scary SCP’s Based On Real Things. Before we begin though, be sure to stick around until
the end of the video where I’ll be responding to some of your comments. And with that, let’s
jump in.
5 SCP - 3201 SCP - 3201 is the collective designation for
a class of sentient, mobile hyperdimensional entities, appearing as luminous spheres with
variations in colours and diameter. SCP - 3201 instances identify themselves as “Archivists”
to Foundation personnel, and are usually identified as ball lightning in the wider scientific
community. Instances of SCP - 3201 were first brought to the attention of the Foundation
as potential anomalies after several aerial sightings of “kraut fireballs” or “foo-fighters”
over Germany in November 1944, described as resembling Christmas tree lights, usually
non-hostile and unable to be outmaneuvered. Containment procedures for SCP - 3201 are
limited primarily to disinformation protocols surrounding SCP - 3201, exchanges and agreements
with SCP - 3201, and communications with SCP - 3201. Foundation assets are to maintain
a continual presence within media and meteorological organizations. SCP - 3201 instances are to
be referred to as “ball lightning”, or variations thereof, depending on the nature
of the incident.
4 SCP - 169 SCP - 169 is surmised to be a marine arthropod
of enormous size, known as the Leviathan by generations of sailors and oral history. Presumed
at first to be a myth, SCP - 169 was detected by Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 during an investigation
of paranormal. During the investigation, it was discovered to have moved numerous times
from its original location. Though initially it was believed this motion was due to unusually-quick
continental drift, a reconnaissance mission performed revealed it to be the protrusions
of rock-like plates covering an enormous organic mass. The foundation was of course brought
in immediately to begin threat management. The estimated body length is believed to be
between 2000 and 8000 KM. The creature is thought to have existed since the precambrian
era. No other specimens have been sighted. Because of its size, SCP - 169 cannot and
almost certainly will never be contained -- no structure on Earth is large enough or strong
enough to contain SCP - 169. The location of SCP - 169 is not precisely known, but imaging
satellites and analyses of eccentricities in the Earth’s orbit suggest SCP - 169 is
located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, possibly stretching around the tip of South America.
3 SCP - 3966 SCP - 3966 is a neuroactive polypeptide found
in humans, specifically in the cerebrospinal fluid of autopsy cadavers when death occurred
during sleep. In the form recovered from cadavers, it is termed SCP - 3966-A and has the anomalous
property of having no C-terminus. The final amino acid in SCP - 3966-A has a free binding
site on the carbon chain that does not show any chemical reactivity. As of right now,
a vial of SCP - 3966-A is kept in frozen laboratory storage at Site-66. It is to be tested monthly
for contamination, and any new compounds found to contaminate the vial sample must be spectrographically
analyzed for its chemical composition and any open molecular bonds must be noted. Additionally,
medical literature submitted for publication must be examined for description of SCP - 3966,
and any such papers are to be denied publication. In the case of an outbreak of Sudden Unexplained
Nocturnal Death Syndrome, Mobile Task Force Rho-7 is to be deployed to establish 10:15
- 10:30 levels in both victims and living civilians in the outbreak area. Harvesting
of SCP - 3966 from cadavers under cover of autopsies has been approved.
2 SCP - 3029 SCP - 3029 is the cause of the phenomenon
affected KIC 8462852, an F-type main sequence star located in the Cygnus constellation,
roughly 1,280 ly from Earth. This star dims periodically -- while it was first assumed
assumed that this indicated a transiting exoplanet, the irregular nature of this dimming ruled
out that possibility. SCP - 3029 has been determined to be an array of large, reflective
objects, in an orbit around the star. It is currently believed that these function as
solar collectors, and have been known to obscure a maximum of over 20% of the star’s light.
The star system itself seems to move at a calculated rate of roughly 0.1c relative to
the Earth. The cause of this motion is a large curved reflector, measuring roughly 2 AU across
and directed perpendicular to the galactic plane. The reflector is aligned in such a
way that only the darkened side is visible from Earth, but at no point obscured KIC 8462852.
It is also positioned in such a way that photon pressure cancels its gravitational attraction
to its parent star, and directs all light, radiation, and emitted particles in the opposite
direction. The aforementioned directed emission produces a small prograde thrust, causing
a noticeable acceleration in the entire system, that will eventually lead to its escape from
the gravity well of the Milky Way. Due to the size and distance of SCP - 3029, full
containment is impossible, of course. Some aspects of SCP - 3029 are already well-known
among civilian media outlets, so completely hiding the anomaly through amnestics or editing
scientific date is implausible.
1 SCP - 1000 SCP - 1000 is a nocturnal, omnivorous ape,
classified in the Hominini branch along with genera Pan and Homo. They have grey, brown,
black, red and occasionally white fur. They possess large eyes with good vision, a pronounced
brow ridge, and a sagittal crest on the forehead similar to that of the gorilla, but present
in both sexes. Their intelligence is also said to be on par with the common chimpanzee.
SCP - 1000 evolved alongside Homo Sapiens, existing contemporaneously with proto-humans
and humans in large numbers until 10,000 - 15,000 years ago, when an extinction event eliminated
all but 1-5% of their population. This event was triggered by SCP - 1000 contracting an
anomalous “pseudo-disease” classified as SCP - 1000-f1. This disease is passed on
at the genetic level and affects every present-day instance of SCP - 1000. The majority of SCP
- 1000 instances are born immune to the effect; those who are not born immune die relatively
quickly. The effect of SCP - 1000-f1 is as follows: Any hominid that directly or indirectly
observes any instance of SCP - 1000 has a minimum 2% chance of being instantly killed
through anomalous means via permanent cessation of brain function. The longer a human views
SCP - 1000, the higher the chance of instantaneous death increases. All media reports related
to SCP - 1000 are to be examined for potential verifiability. All organizations and individuals
investigating SCP - 1000’s existence are to be kept under surveillance by Mobile Task
Force Zeta-1000 and discredited or administered amnestics. Absolutely no contact with wild
or captive instances of SCP - 1000 is allowed without prior approval by Director Jones.
Any interaction between SCP - 1000 and humans, including Foundation personnel, must be reported
to Director Jones immediately. Essentially SCP - 1000 is bigfoot.
Well, there we have it! Do you guys agree with our list? Were there any scary SCP’s
that we missed? Leave us all your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below and
perhaps we can do a part 2. Before I go though, I just want to respond to a few comments from
one of our last videos, Top 5 Highest Rated Horror Movies of All Time.
