Opening up a portal to another dimension is almost exclusively a bad idea, right?
No matter what you learn from the denizens of another civilization, there’s no guarantee
that it will even be applicable in our own world.
The laws of reality governing their experience might tear us apart, or crumble under the
physics that underpin our existence. Plus, there’s always that chance of a dangerous,
bloodthirsty monster clawing its way into our lives.
A dangerous gamble at best, a foolhardy suicide mission at worst.
But people are gonna keep trying! And random rifts are gonna keep appearing!
Best to just roll with what happens, eh? Hello horror heads, and welcome back to the
scariest channel on YouTube: Top5ScaryVideos. I’m your horror host, Keegan Hughes, and
today we’re adding another five extra dimensional entities to our list of the Top 5 Scary SCP
Monsters From Another Dimension - PART 3! Before we get started, make sure you give
this video a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more intense intergalactic exploits.
Outstanding, let’s get going. NUMBER FIVE: SCP-1562
While not a monster by definition, largely because it isn’t alive, this innocent-looking
playground feature has a terrible side-effect that honestly gave me chills.
Claustrophobes, look away. 1562 is a metal playground slide, originally
placed in a pretty ordinary playground. A few kids in the area went missing, the Foundation
looked into it, and found out that the slide was to blame.
Currently, all testing has been suspended. After experimenting a couple times, it became
crystal clear that sending more people down the metal incline would only result in misery
and loss of resources. The slide functions normally most of the time.
You know, as slides should. You can climb up the ladder, take a seat at
the top, and propel yourself towards the bottom for hours of classic fun.
BUT! If you’re a little daredevil, and prefer to take the bull by the horns, you’ll likely
activate the anomalous effect. Anyone who slides down head first on their
stomach with their arms tucked at their sides will disappear instantly and completely before
they reach the end. Nobody knows where they went, or how to get
them back. Communication is possible, but retrieval is
not. Any sort of safety line attached to these daring slide-surfers will be cut upon disappearance.
The destination of those who disappear seems to be in another dimension.
This might be tolerable, if not for the position they find themselves in.
Remember how subjects were on their stomachs with their arms at their side?
Well, they remain in that position, but inside of a cramped dirt-and-rock tunnel.
It’s like spelunking, but without a helmet or lights or a map or any guarantee that you’ll
be able to get back where you came from. Subjects have had trouble getting their arms
free from their sides, and the only method of movement is through desperate wriggling.
And if they wriggle far enough, they’ll bump into the feet of the last person to go
down the slide. At that point, forward motion becomes impossible,
and they’re stuck. With their arms at their side.
In a dark, cramped tunnel. In another dimension.
And then you get to listen to the last things the person ahead of you said before dying.
I don’t mean to sound like a helicopter parent here, but please keep your feet in
front while using the slide. NUMBER FOUR: SCP-112
Your reaction to this SCP may vary depending on your feelings about roller coasters.
If you love the thrill of hurtling through the air on a metal cart, then this might not
be so bad. If you’re a person who prefers to not be
thrown through a loop-de-loop, 112 will ruin you.
Known as the Blue Steelsurfer, the sit-down roller coaster was a financial failure based
on poor reviews from testers. The park was shut down, and the coaster remained
unused until some hooligans broke in and re-activated some of the rides.
It was at this point that the anomalous properties were made apparent.
The ride will function normally until the car reaches the main drop.
At this point, it will disappear for three minutes, and then re-materialize near the
end of the loop. Extradimensional roller coaster. Wicked.
Like I mentioned earlier, people riding 112 have drastically different experiences.
Speaking of drastic differences, the outside observer also witnesses something very different
than what’s actually going on. Once the car vanishes, those on board will
realize that the ride time will be massively extended, ranging from four minutes to many
months. Those riding will report many features that
do not exist on the ride, like batwings, cobra rolls, and inclined loops.
The world itself doesn’t feel different, but the ride experience is changed.
Once getting off, they might feel sick or confused, based on their subjective experience.
Someone who was on for a perceived time of a month may feel extremely hungry and weak,
even though the experience was really only three minutes.
Whatever someone experiences while on this ride is completely unique to them, though.
This proves to be highly distressing to those who end up with a longer ride, as they experience
long periods of dizziness, exhaustion, and headaches, all while the person beside them
is cheering and laughing and having a good time.
So again, if you get lucky and find yourself on a four minute ride with a couple extra
loops, you’ll have a blast. If you’re not so fortunate, you could end
up being subjected to G-force for 5 months straight.
I’d hate roller coasters too if it happened to me.
NUMBER THREE: SCP-1438 While the mass of land that constitutes 1438
isn’t a monster itself, it is home to many strange and odd creatures that would scare
the everloving crap out of you if you ran into one.
If you find a specific crevasse in the Queen Alexandra Mountain range, you’ll be able
to pass into this alternate Antarctica. Notable differences include a lack of land
ice, a climate that fluctuates between 35 degrees celsius and negative 35 degrees Celsius,
and a species of humanoids known as Homo antarcticus. There appears to be a complex government presiding
over this alternate reality, with technology, infrastructure, and other markers of a modern
society all being present. Most interesting is the fact that anomalous
items and entities are common knowledge here, and that the folks presiding over the land
have given Foundation personnel limited range in which to study them.
There’s even a Foundation-type organization called the Imperial Institute of Paranatural
and Esoteric Study. They’ve collected and organized many anomalous
things over the years, and allowed the Foundation to take a look as well.
Some of the notable entities include the remains of a giant unknown organism known as Sanak
Thiuh, a school of occult practice, two highly specialized humanoid species that rule the
land during different seasons, extremely tall multi-limbed creatures, and little aggressive
buggers known as Feastlings. It’s an odd alternate world, but they seem
to be doing alright. I’m not sure if I want to discover more
about the strange beasts that live among the humanoids, or just leave it be.
Like I always say, some questions are better left unanswered.
NUMBER TWO: SCP-262 This is a coat hypothesized to be a prototype
military uniform at some point between 1500 and the early 1900s.
Carbon dating has been inconclusive, although it appears that the wool used to create it
is thousands of years old, even if the coat itself was assembled recently.
262 is full of arms. Like, it can manifest numerous arms from the
dark inner lining. Not just human ones either, although most
are indeed people-based. There have also been manifestations of reptilian
tentacles, multi-jointed cellulose limbs, the clawed paw of a predatory cat, and every
once in a while some feet and legs too. The space within the coat appears to be non-Euclidean,
and if you were to drop it over a person, they’d disappear into the void within.
In fact, it almost seems that the coat is collecting arms. Many arms from test-subjects
and mannequins have been seen protruding from the coat at times.
The limbs can be manipulated by folks wearing the coat to varying degrees of success.
Tests have included playing piano, defending against multiple attackers, smoking and extinguishing
cigarettes, and more. And of course, the coat has attempted to use
some test-subject bodies to escape. It has proven to be fairly resourceful in
doing so, too, using all sorts of arms to make its way through security.
Would the space inside the coat be considered a pocket dimension?
Is it collecting limbs to form a sort of ARM-y? Time to move on.
NUMBER ONE: SCP-517 This fortune-telling machine is hiding a pretty
dark secret. Although most people are pretty wary of these
things at this point, considering all of the pop-culture attention they get.
How many movies and TV shows have featured one of these cursing someone?
517 is a big box containing a grandmotherly figure.
The power cord has been cut, and it will not react if you fire a coin in the slot.
Once an hour, the machine will power on if a person enters its field of vision.
Grandmother will produce a fortune card from a slot on the machine, and then shut down.
The person who activated 517 will now be the target of a bunch of shadowy entities that
will attack at 1:43AM the next morning. They appear to be long, multi-jointed arms,
spawning from a single place. These arms will then attempt to rush forward
and capture the target. Once captured, the target will be dragged
to a secluded area, and brutally beaten until sunrise.
Anyone who walks in on this will also be grabbed and thrashed.
These beatings will continue until the victims are reduced to what I can only assume is a
fleshy, bloody slurry. The actual end-state substance is redacted
in the entry. Nobody knows where these arms originate from,
or why they do this. However, grandma’s fortune cards may provide
a little illumination. Some examples of the text found on these cards
include: How many times should somebody be told to
be good? Your mother raised you better than that. I’m sorry, but fair is fair. People
who do terrible things deserve terrible things. You’ve brought this upon yourself, my dear.
You look like you’ve made some mistakes. Some things are unforgivable, aren’t they?
Do you think they’ve forgotten? Jeez grandma, I only stole one cookie!
What have you done to earn a serious beat-down from grandma?
OUTRO These things don’t even need to wait around
the corner for you, they have a whole other world to hide in.
Which one scares you the most? How many extradimensional creatures can there
be? Are there any SCPs from other dimensions that
you want to hear about? Make sure you let me know down in the comments.
Speaking of comments, let’s take a look at some of your more matronly ones from The
TOP 5 SCARY SCP MONSTERS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION PART 2:
Kate Harvey says “Just imagining this first SCP writing ‘send nudes’ in the condensation…”
The only appropriate response is “you first.” Just to make sure we’ve got the anatomy
right… Irridon says “I used to be an SCP monster,
but then I took a bullet to the tentacle. And to come back to this dimension, awesome
work Keegan, you rock!” Anything is better than taking an arrow to
the knee. Plus, you’ve got like 100 tentacles, I’m sure you can manage. Thanks for the
support! Blair S says “Lmao… I wanna punch a shark
with you” You bring the shark, I’ll bring the knuckle
dusters. It’ll be a party! Zerrick Hilliard says “AGGRESSIVE FRUIT
NOISES” I… I don’t know what an aggressive fruit
sounds like. Can somebody educate me on this? Wes Tesch says “I wonder if we as humans
are considered SCP to other dimensions? How dangerous or beneficial are we to them, especially
when our only real “power” is near infinite ideas and (or) imagination? Hmmmm….”
My theory is that we’re definitely considered anomalous to beings from other dimensions.
Either anomalously dangerous, or anomalously annoying. Either way, they’ve made the executive
decision to leave us the hell alone. Smart call on their part.
And that’s all the time we have for today! Before I start tapdancing in a minefield,
make sure to give this video a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more mystifying monsters.
Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you next time.
