I feel like the last time we talked SCP was pre-containment.
Like, not the containment of SCP creatures, but our containment.
Sheesh. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?
Well, if we’re trapped inside, the SCPs can’t get us, right?
Unless they’re ones that are actively seeking people out in their homes.
I suppose that’s not too far-fetched. Well, I think only one of five today would do something
like that. So your odds are good! 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 Scary SCP Monsters That Can Never Escape
- Part 16. Before we get started, make sure you give
this video a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more outrageous anomalies.
Wicked, let’s begin. NUMBER FIVE: SCP 309
If you thought stuffed animals were creepy before, just wait til you get a look at this.
It’ll make your skin crawl. Or do something much worse. Much, much worse.
309 is a small, plush stuffed animal that looks like it’s been turned inside out.
Seams and stitches on full display. The cuddly toy is understuffed, making it
very flexible and floppy. It doesn’t do too much, other than sit there.
It appears to just be a normal, if not externally confused children’s toy.
It has no effect on inanimate objects, but contact with living subjects is highly dangerous
if not life threatening. Yeah, the cozy, squishy guy should absolutely,
under no circumstances, be cuddled or squoze. If a human or an animal lightly brush the
toy with a finger or other small digit, they will feel extremely uncomfortable for around
ten minutes. Subjects have reported extreme nausea, although
vomiting is never induced. The unpleasant feelings are so extreme that
most have not been able to maintain voluntary contact for more than a few seconds.
But that’s the shallow end of this horrific swimming pool.
If 309 is pressed firmly against someone, or if a subject tries to pick it up and hold
it, that individual will be violently and painfully turned inside out.
You can be just like bun bun here! Twins! The skeleton will remain unaltered, but all
of the soft tissues that should be beneath the lovely protective layer of skin will be
resituated to the exterior of the body. Wanna know the best part? Or worst?
It’s not immediately fatal! Just really, really painful.
Oh, and irreversible. So if you do survive, good luck living in a bubble with all of your
tendons exposed. NUMBER FOUR: SCP 1123
Speaking of body parts that should remain under a layer of skin, let’s discuss a cursed
skull! 1123 is a human skull missing the lower mandible
and all of its teeth. On the forehead is a message written in human
blood. If you’re further than 5m away from the
skull, or are looking at it through a photo, this message will not be visible.
As you get closer, though, it appears to get more legible and “fresher,” until it looks
wet. At around 1m, you’ll start to notice other
anomalous sensory phenomena as well, like the smells of cooking or ashes, sounds like
soft crying or distant footsteps, and even tactile responses like grit in the eyes, or
glass splinters in the sole of your foot. Upon touching the skull, subjects enter a
dissociative fugue state that lasts anywhere from 90 minutes to six hours.
During this time, they will experience confusion, disorientation, and an adoption of a new identity
and memories. Knowledge and language previously unknown
to the subject will be acquired, and they’ll often either enter a state of total Catatonia,
or end up attacking anyone nearby. Once the state ends, the subject will return
to their previous state with memories of the knowledge they gained.
Some say it’s as if they lived a whole other life as someone else.
These imprinted personalities share a lot of similarities, like being a victim of subjugation,
torture or imprisonment, dying by violence, and their death being a result of targeting
by a political mass movement. Some examples of past personalities are that
of an Armenian farmer who was burned alive by the Ottoman army, a Ukranian girl beaten
to death by members of the Soviet brigade, and an Iraqi victim of a mustard gas attack.
As such, people who have touched the skull often share psychological effects common to
the type of trauma experienced by the imprinted personality, like grief, survivor’s guilt,
and depression. No other anomalous effects have been reported.
NUMBER THREE: SCP 3001 While not exactly a monster, the effects of
this SCP are quite monstrous indeed. It’s a bitch to explain, too.
3001 is a hypothesized paradoxical parallel/pocked “non-dimension” accessible through the
creation of a momentary Class-C “Broken Entry” wormhole.
It’s believed to be infinitely expanding, and almost completely devoid of matter.
A low Hume level causes matter inside to decay extremely slowly, with simulations suggesting
over 70% of an organism can disappear before function is impeded.
Way back when, Dr. Robert Scranton and his wife Dr. Anna Lang were testing some reality-bending
technology, resulting in Scranton being transported into 3001.
He was presumed dead for a while, until he managed to get a panel chronicling his experiences
transported back to the Foundation. This is how most information about 3001 was
discovered. Apparently he’s been surviving in 3001 for
over five years, with his mental and physical state constantly deteriorating.
Now, the SCP itself it quite scary, seeing as nobody wants to be transported into a pocket
dimension where nothing makes sense and there’s no chance of escape.
But even scarier are the theories that postulate that 3001 is the origin of the ever-prevalent
SCP-106! The black, corrosive gel found filling all
sorts of spaces in Scranton’s log lend legitimacy to this idea.
Imagine if other folks gained access to 3001, became a creature like 106, and started requiring
femur-breaker sacrifices. One terrifying old man is enough, don’t
you think? NUMBER TWO: SCP-5031
This is an example of why you should always try to treat things with compassion, even
if they are dangerous. If Researcher Huxtable didn’t attempt to
make a connection with this SCP, it may well have sliced and diced people to its heart’s
content. Or maybe it was super risky to attempt connection
at all. Who knows.
Back to the SCP itself, 5031 is a humanoid of unknown origin.
It was originally believed to be non-sapient, but this theory was soon disproven.
However, the idea that it will temporarily cease to exist when viewed, that one stayed
true. Photos and video don’t capture it, but traces
of its existence like blood trails or scratch marks will remain even when it disappears.
Viewing it’s shadow doesn’t cause it to cease existing, and it’s appearance has
been deduced through viewing it this way. 5031 has a small head, no discernable neck,
and arms that branch into three limbs at each elbow.
It levitates about half a meter off the ground, and has a bladelike lower edge.
Although it has no nutritional needs, 5031 will hunt and consume any organism it encounters.
This all changed when Senior Researcher Stanley Huxtable came onto the scene.
He saw the containment procedures as cruel and unusual, and decided to figure out a way
to have 5031 live a less stressful life. Through conducting experiments, he discovered
that music and play reduced stress levels. Eventually, he also found out that 5031 liked
rotisserie chicken, and was able to differentiate between images, making correlations between
images and rewards. Over time, it even learned language, and made
requests for certain types of food. It even became adept at cooking, and verbalized
needs for other ingredients. Wild.
While this is a happier ending than most containment procedures, imagine what might happen if it
went free and was unable to get the compassionate treatment it received from Huxtable.
It might very well just go back to it’s slicing and dicing ways with any creature
it came across. NUMBER ONE: SCP-4910
Teeth are terrifying. You can’t tell me otherwise.
Any movie that presents the audience with the destruction of teeth, or the use of teeth
for something other than the mastication of food, will send chills through my body.
So 4910 is a tough one for me to imagine. It is known as a predatory dental quadruped,
and it’s been seen over one hundred times across continents.
The precise details are unknown, mostly thanks to witnesses rapidly succumbing to the effects
of 4910 attacks, usually resulting in the rapid overproduction of teeth leading to an
inability to verbalize. Recording devices left to capture images will
develop dentin in key components, and as a result no longer work.
Researchers have tried to get victims to draw the beast, but artistic representations are
all over the place. However, they all focus on various amalgamations
of teeth and gums. Yuck.
4910 is capable of differentiating between regular civilians and people who seek to capture
it. Civilians are used primarily for food, while
adversaries are made into vessels for reproduction of anomalous properties.
So if you’re trying to get rid of 4910, you may well become part of it.
All attempts at capture to date have failed. 13 MTF agents are MIA, with seven needing
to be euthanized, and five falling to auto transformative cannibalism.
So little is actually known about this SCP, the imagination really takes the cake.
OUTRO And there you have it!
Five fascinating, fearsome SCPs. What did you think of the list?
Which is your favourite of the group? Are there any I haven’t talked about yet?
Make sure you let me know down in the comments! Speaking of comments, let’s take a look
at some of your more dogged ones from the TOP 5 SCARY HAUNTINGS THROUGHOUT HISTORY:
Oliver James says “This was very interesting” I’m glad you think so!
Demonique742 says “My favourite ancient ghost story is about a man in Ancient Greece
being haunted. They cremated their dead and his wife had passed. However the funeral pyre
wasn’t properly seen to, and one of her shows didn’t completely burn thus not travelling
with her to the afterlife. So she came back and haunted her husband because her foot was
cold until he properly burnt the shoe.” That. Is. Incredible. I’d probably come
back for something as petty as that. Love it.
Netmystique says “I enjoy hearing the stories from ancient times. They really bring me back
to my youth.” Your youth? How old are you? Tell me your
secrets! October Ward says “potatoes potatoes potatoes.
Also whats upppp” I’m curious as to what edits you made to
this comment. What possible correction could you have made?
Donna Schimming says “Hey Keegan, how about giving us some Canadian ghost stories? Or
are Canadians so nice there aren’t any ghosts? Hope your foot is better”
See, I would tell some Canadian ghost stories, but then I’d be taking some book sales away
from the authors who largely sell their books at trading posts up North, and I don’t know
if I could live with myself after that. Foot’s doing well!
And that’s all the time we have for today! Before I inspect a bear trap by getting reaaaaaally
close to it, make sure you give this video a big thumbs up and subscribe for more unholy
happenstance! Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you next
time.
