From haunted grocery stores, to metal-making viruses, there are enough SCPs out there to
overload even the most disaster-minded brains. And the thing is, there are more being thought
up every day. In the SCP universe, thinking something up
and writing it down is basically akin to making it real.
This is worrisome, to say the least. Sure, they’re all hypothetically contained
and secured, but how many can really be considered safe?
Euclid and Keter are so much more common, and even IF something is safe, as soon as
it's out of containment for whatever reason, it can resume causing all sorts of torment.
It’s like a cross between a can of worms and a can of whoop-ass. You don’t want it
open. 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 be counting down the Top 5 SCP Monsters That Can Never Escape - PART
17. Before we begin, make sure to give this video
a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more digital demons and dirtbags.
Perfect, let’s get going. NUMBER FIVE: SCP-217
In keeping with the general vibe of the entire world right now, let’s discuss a virus.
Yeah, bummer, I know. But 217 is a very interesting infectious individual.
Can I call a virus an individual? Eh. Let’s keep moving.
This is an incurable virus with an infectivity rate of 100%, spreading through touch or contact
with bodily fluid. Thankfully (or maybe not so thankfully), the
progression is quite slow. Sometimes it takes years for symptoms to become
noticeable. Although, by the time they show up it’s beyond disastrous, but we’ll get
there in a moment. This virus doesn’t work in any conventional
way. It doesn’t raise body temperatures, or hijack
the respiratory system. No, it turns all organic matter into organic
metal, turning subjects into gears and clockwork systems.
But they don’t just fall apart, or turn into robots.
Instead, these newly developed metal parts take over the operation of organs and other
biological functions. Early stages of this transformation are mostly
unnoticeable, accompanied by vagues feelings of confusion, insomnia, and joint stiffness.
Internal organs seem to change first; hearts are replaced by gears and small tubes, joints
become gear networks, eyes work similarly to hand-crank cameras.
Eventually the whole body is converted, with outward visible symptoms appearing last.
Apparently this is very painful in the late stages.
Not something anyone really wants to happen. These physical pains are accompanied by a
diminished mental state, where subject begin responding to stimuli in a repetitive fashion,
and start acting dull and mechanical. They’re easily distracted, confused, and
generally irritable when faced with new problems. Kinda like me on lockdown. Maybe I’m turning
to metal. For those familiar with the Church of the
Broken God, you probably already recognize a lot of this stuff.
Mekhane’s blood baby, it’s rough. NUMBER FOUR: SCP-1110
The perfect robbery is one that can never be traced.
So I supposed SCP-1110 has been pulling off some flawless crimes for a while now.
This is a series of phenomena that seems to only appear on security footage at banks and
other similar financial institutions. On the footage, two humanoid entities wearing
face coverings and dark clothing can be seen entering a financial institution brandishing
guns in a threatening manner. Aggressive body language, shouting, all the
hallmarks of a good caper. They approach the teller, moving as bank robbers
do, and demand that some funds be deposited in their suitcase.
In the video, the teller complies, and carefully hands over some guap.
Once the exchange is complete, the two covered criminals leave the building with their briefcase
full of bills. The thing is, none of this happens in real
life. Even though footage exists of all this happening,
nobody in the building will have experienced anything close to what was captured.
Customers, tellers, managers; nobody has any recollection of any such events.
Business will have continued as per usual during the time in which the robberies occurred.
However, even though the robbery itself did not seem to happen, the money taken will be
missing. That’s right. If 100 thousand dollars is
slapped down into the suitcase, it’ll be gone without a trace from the vault.
It doesn’t make any sense, but what SCP does?
There have been confirmed cases of objects being stolen, too.
This is where things get a little wonky, though, as most of these items don’t disappear in
the same way that the money does. Instead, things like watches will stop working
at the exact time that they were lifted from their rightful owner.
Weird. Basically these two extra-dimensional dudes
could bleed the whole world dry and we wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
Although if all the major banks lost all of their money, we poors at the bottom could
rise up once again. Food for thought.
NUMBER THREE: SCP-2446 Who doesn’t love a random corpse showing
up right in front of them? 2446 is the occasional spontaneous manifestation
of humanoid corpses in a 12km area around San Jose.
There doesn’t seem to be any time or location restrictions on when these cadavers will pop
up, so just be ready to see some dead bodies next time you visit.
Ah, what am I saying? Of course you’re ready to see dead bodies when you visit Florida.
As of right now, only two have been directly observed manifesting, but there are likely
many more undiscovered in less-visited areas. Each corpse so far has been found to share
physical and genetic profiles with Foundation personnel.
Typically, they’re agents involved with MTF Lambda-5, or the “White Rabbits”.
In fact, a lot of the time they’ll show up in their combat gear, not that it’s doing
them any good these days. Yeah, putrefying corpses don’t benefit much
from bulletproof vests and tactical helmets. Multiple duplicates have been found for single
agents, although there often are some differences in weight, build, and tattoo patterns.
It seems that alternate universes are dropping corpses into ours, for a currently unknown
reason. Something about rabbits and down the rabbit
hole, I’m sure. NUMBER TWO: SCP-3182
Creepy grocery stores should be avoided as a general rule.
But this one in Denton, Missouri needs to be left alone forever.
Following a severe economic downturn and the unfortunate death of a young employee, some
anomalous activity was detected. Every day between 7:52-8:52 pm, a range of
strange happenings occur. This is also known as a Deimos event.
During this time, no outside sources of light will be visible in the store, individuals
will be unable to enter or exit the building, and all thresholds will seemingly disappear.
Anyone inside the store will experience extreme distress and melancholy, resentment towards
Denton, Missouri, recollection of memories belonging to former customers, paranoia about
impending danger and a need to do something about it, and a strong desire to leave 3182
even though it is impossible. Add in some severe physical effects like nausea,
injury, and sometimes death, and you’ve got yourself a bad time.
All of these effects seem to center around Aisle Three.
So if you’re looking for pasta, sauces, and canned goods, maybe try the store a town
over. For your own safety.
But if you do approach the haunted aisle, you’ll be subjected to disembodied moaning
and screaming, the appearance of indistinct humanoid figures, and the sounds of heavy
objects being dragged along the linoleum. Stick around long enough, and you’ll notice
some gurgling noises. Find the source, and you’ll discover a viscous
black liquid that seems to have a mind of its own.
Or many minds of its own. Analysis has shown that this fluid consists
of genetic material matching that of several hundred past and current Denton residents.
And they’re none too happy to be there. The whole store is like a midwest pop-punk
band’s worst nightmare. YOU’LL NEVER GET OUT OF THIS TOWN.
IT’S SLOWLY KILLING YOU. NOTHING BUT REGRETS.
YOU SHOULDA MOVED TO THE CITY WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE.
Cliche, but relatable. NUMBER ONE: SCP-1129
If you’d rather not be stuck in an endless cycle of fear, try your best to avoid 1129.
It’s a weird object of unknown origin that can seemingly “flow” past anything that
gets in its way. But it’s not liquid. Or solid?
Actually, it’s dimensionally fractal, partially existing in a theoretical dimension.
Maybe it’s sentient. Nobody seems to know. What people do know, is that it terrifies
them. When any sentient being sees 1129, they enter
what is known as Stage I. This involves their fear reflex kicking into
overdrive, and fleeing from it by any means possible.
People in Stage I ignore obstacles and personal injury. They’ll run straight through drywall
like the Kool-Aid man if it’ll help them get away faster.
The fear-symptoms will increase in intensity until they manage to put around 25m between
themselves and the being. If they can’t get out of that range fast
enough, it’s likely that their symptoms will worsen until they die of a heart attack
or something similar. Yeesh.
Those that manage to get away, safely or not, will then enter Stage II.
This presents itself as heightened aggression and hostility towards 1129.
They’ll describe it as WRONG and NOT THE RIGHT KIND OF REAL and DANGEROUS.
Expressing a strong desire to destroy it, subjects will try to enlist others.
However, upon seeing 1129 again, they’ll revert back to Stage I and start to freak
out. Apparently with no memory of ever seeing it
before, either. The cycle perpetuates ad infinitum.
1.7% of cases enter Stage III, which is the freezing of all voluntary muscles.
Very few recover any ability to move at this point.
Amnestics have proven effective at curing stages I and II, but III is forever.
And now, it seems that even specific knowledge of 1129 can cause Stage II to happen.
This is never going to end, is it? OUTRO
And there you have it. Five freaky SCPs that I scoured the Wiki to
find. What did you think of the list?
Any you already knew about? What lesser-known SCPs would you like to hear
about in the future? Make sure you let me know down in the comments!
Speaking of comments, let’s take a look at some of your more rugged ones from TOP
5 SCARY FORGOTTEN SCI FI HORROR MOVIES - PART 2:
Skully Plays Games says “Soft pretzels, if you disagree you’re a heretic.”
HERESY! I feel like both have merits, but if you’re gonna make such a bold statement,
I’ll give it the nod. Rick C says “Forgotten can be a positive,
though, like when your friend has completely forgotten something you did that gives you
all the shame.” Let’s be real, there’s probably a reason
your friend is forgetting, too. Plus, for every embarrassing thing you did, they likely
had an equally shameful act. Guibox3 says “Night of the Creeps is another
great movie that is deserving of attention. I hope you make a part III that includes it”
A classic indeed! If the people demand part III, who am I to keep it from them?
Otaniesa says “You look like some 80s slasher character”
WHICH ONE? James Vance says “Y’all at Top 5 are keeping
me from going stark raving mad! Thanks, and keep it real!”
I’m glad we’re buoying your sanity! Keep fighting the good fight out there!
And that’s all the time we have for today! Before I go check out that mysterious noise
coming from the cellar, make sure to give this video a big thumbs up, and subscribe
for more egregious entities. Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you next
time!
