once he said that he saw 3 people walking towards him i instantly got super creeped out cause i realized that he ... was the footprints in the snow... he was following himself... he cut off a part of himself and thats why the tissue said it was human
Cave said it best;
"Alright, this next test may involve trace amounts of time travel. So, word of advice: If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye contact. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely. Forward and backward! So do both of yourselves a favor and just let that handsome devil go about his business."
Please tell me he's voiced that line
That's a feedback loop for ya
So we can't kiss :(
i love the phrase “forward and backward”
a good rule of thumb when writing exposition is just to write out the entire truth, and then filter that through what a character would actually know and comment on. and then filter THAT through the way that they would go about commenting. it makes the world feel bigger than you ever really see.

This is not Linus Tech Tips...
You getting paid for this?
Thank you!
Unnecessary but much respect anyway 💪💪💪
This is cool! I get the feeling you're bored
These stories are always so well narrated. Well done!
Boi you didn’t even watch it yet
Indeed!
To be stuck in a loop like that… poor Dr. Mann I hope there will be a way he can get out it.
Probably not. If he did it would create a time paradox: if he somehow escaped, he wouldn't be in there to cause his past self to venture into the anomaly.
Maybe he could be saved from the outside using Scranton Reality Anchors, but it would take a lot of them to normalise a 2000 km² area, not to mention the 18000 km² area that is apparently the maximum size of 2764.
I'm just so curious as to how the logs get retrieved at the end, you know, for us to listen to..
I think the name Mann is a reference to Thomas Mann, the German writer. One of his themes was man's attempts to create order eventually collapsing into chaos.
I've known about the Scpf for a few years now. But this channel takes the cake as the highest quality content covering it and has made it fresh and interesting for me again. Bravo 👏
My one complaint about the writing of this peice is that the other two explorers never get names. I mean, J Mann is traveling through Antartica on foot with these two guys for nine days towards known danger. After all that, they're still "those guys?" We dont need to hear their life story or anything, but any names at all would add to the realism.
Signed J Mann
(two complaints)
I wonder if all the "restricted areas" in the scp universe actually fit on earth
The impossibility of them all fitting on Earth is why the wiki has a rule of "there is no canon." If every SCP article had to fit with every other article, you wouldn't be able to keep writing them sooner or later.
@@SargonTheGrape makes sense
OH that was just terrifying.
Gotta love the SCP takes on Lovecraft's stories. At The Mountains of Madness for anyone unsure
Ah yes SCP In The Mountains of Madness crossover excellent.
300000000 pounds is insane that’s at least 3 Big Macs
to put it simply. joseph is the monster
30m+ vids are the best so I can fall asleep
as a joseph this story is made a little more unsettling.
I love stories such as these
This twist is very familar, is this a re-upload?
Good afternoon Dr Millar
i dont understand where the creature is. is it above ground or in the waters?
On the ice
that.... that was amazing
Aww, it's kinda, chute
Did I miss the part where they explain how the logs were discovered by someone other than Mann?
What I want to know is, how did they recover the journal? Did Joseph eventually get out of the anomaly or did the journal appear outside the perimeter due to the spatial distortion aspect of the anomaly?
Presumably, they could have gone in with SRAs to recover the journal (and maybe even Mann, or at least his body).
Dr. Bob also did a great video on this skip.
So this thing just makes time and space its own little plaything huh?
Fear hermit
I wonder if Joseph isn't so much transforming as he is being relativistically warped by the "shape" of 2764. So from future Joseph's perspective he looks normal, but from his past self's perspective he looks like some strange creature with tentacles.
Or hes going the other way in time and transforming
Like whats meant to happen in a black hole? Chilling man
@@nathanielleack4842 I suppose spaghettification would be one way to put it. I was thinking more he's occupying dimensions whose "shadows" (for lack of a better way of putting it) are distorted, both visibly and physically within our three-dimensional space-time. Again, from his perspective he's fine, but from his past self's it's all wibley-wobbley time-whimsey tentaclely-wentically.
And I just had a brain Hemorrhage thinking about that
"This is my hole. (In space-time, ostensibly geographically located in Antarctica.)"
This would make an amazing 90 min or so movie like a good old school horror movie but it’d need the right people
it would become very confusing, especially with aspects of it being time loops, and non Euclidean.. when he gets closer, and it's shrinking that's from a combination of its non Euclidean nature, but also him looping back. he talks about the Strang tracks in the snow, those are from them looping in time, and shifting in space. when he attacks the monster, he's actually attacking him future self.
It's very similar to the plot of Interstellar, and I fucking loved Interstellar, so I agree
Look up a movie called The Triangle
Certainly better than most of the bullshit that's been belched onto the screen in the last 15 years.
Something like the Lighthouse
So the 3 guys he was seeing to "rescue" him was them at the beginning of their exploration and the attack where he got a peace of his back was himself when he first said he got a tissue sample from "the creature", that and the tracks they see are his...thats trippy, awesome story
One thing is puzzling. What happened to the other 2?
@@GameCyborgCh Very true
I do have a few extra questions, besides what happened to the other two.
1) how was the log recovered?
2) why is there no mention of his coat being damaged when his past self carved a bit of flesh from his back? Surely he isnt naked.
3) what is happening when the creature flickers to a different location?
@@AnonOmis1000so I can comment for #3
Assuming this is an extra dimensional creature/experience something is likely moving in a higher damage when you move in a higher connection that crosses a lower dimension. You tend to pop out of one spot and appear in another because you're moving smoothly, but the lower dimension is only getting your intersections/or shadows in some parlance here in the comments
The usual point of reference people tend to use is the old short story "Flat Land"
now this is a keter I can get behind, not a "end of the world" scenario, just a someone screwing space and time
Ever since 682, keters have been made to just be a "my monsters bigger than yours" scenario between kids on a playground lol
Honestly, if it wasn't located in Antarctica, and thus incredibly hard and dangerous to simply put a perimeter around, this thing would probably be Euclid. It's not a threat in any real way, and the public exposure scenario requiring mass deployment of amnestics is entirely hypothetical with no reason to believe it will actually happen. On the other hand, being located in Antarctica is the reason it doesn't take a lot to keep people from finding out it exists.
this is such a great scp, the entire thing from when the journal starts to the ending is absolutely brilliant but i have one issue.
in the actual file, ignoring the journal, it does seem weird that they dont include the obvious implication of the ending in the file. i get that narratively this would ruin the twist, but in universe it doesnt make much sense that the foundation would ignore this main effect of the anomaly in the actual document.
im kinda glad for this inconsistency though, it makes the ending much better. i suppose it depends on if youre looking for believability of the file or a good narrative for a story
if you dont mind me asking, what was the twist? i was SUPER tired while listening to this and i didn't catch on lol 😭😭
@@bossuhole on top of affecting space and time it also appears to have a transformitive affect. The researcher from the logs somehow at somepoint became the creature or at least part of it and is now also stuck in a time loop. That's why as he noted that the tracks they initially found almost seemed human. It's why when he finally managed to get close enough to the creature to swiftly grab a tissue sample from it some quick testing showed it to be identical to human tissue. The tissue he collected was from his future self.
@@Mr.Spud42 OOOOH OKAY!!! thank you so much that's so cool
My justification for articles like this is that we as the reader are looking at the file right after the foundation recovered the logs. They had time to update the information which they do asap but would still be waiting for the expert(s) on the subject to review everything before changing procedure and/or descriptions.
Kind of like in 5031. In the article you get to read a section of the actual testing and revisions the researchers perform to create optimal procedures to contain the scp.
They could always lock it behind a "clearance level" thing on the wiki at the very bottom, reveiling a redacted section talking about the log to prevent spoilers
It's actually a very interesting thing to experience "Lovecraftian" horror written by someone with a better understanding of non-standard space and time composition than H.P. Lovecraft himself.
Horror is always fascinating when placed in the perspective of someone familiar with the very horror tropes they're dealing with and it's still nowhere near enough to prepare them.
Yeah, shame they kept the whole non-euclid 'geometry' thing so prevalently though. It actually makes the original feel like Howard's bad math grades are infecting other people's writing.
Oh no, a curved surface! Horrifying!
Also someone not explicitly racist
@@sheakennedy-ordway1156 I think the main issue is that "non-euclidian" isn't necessarily meant to be literal. Like when he uses the word "cyclopean," he doesn't really mean the thing he's referring to only has one eye (although that may be the case,) it's more so to mean "very old and having a form that nature perverted." When Lovecraft says "non-euclidean," he's saying that the architecture is illogical and just feels wrong from human sensibilities. There is no word to describe what it actually is, so he uses "non-euclidian" because that's the closest thing. The entirety of Lovecraft's work is filled to the brim with narrators attempting to describe incomprehensible things with human concepts.
This whole SCP reminds me of the RPG maker game "Cat in the box"
The premise is exactly the same but without the understood knowledge that the place is being affected by a temporal anomaly and only really discovered through a rumor that the mansion is haunted.
Long story short:
1: character goes in scary mansion and locked inside
2: chased by monster/anomaly
3: goes even deeper to find out why
4: finally finds out that she is the monster
You can watch a playthrough of the whole thing
Oh yeah that game is sick.
Another game that follows this same premise is Oxenfree. mixed reviews gameplay wise and it's pretty short, but I really loved the story. if you see it as what it is - a visual novel, it's definitely worth your time.
Spoilers, although I guess I already spoiled that a timeloop is involved:
You and your buddies come to a supposedly haunted island because you're teenagers and that's just what teenagers do. turns out it's haunted by the crew of a submarine test gone wrong, the Kanaloa, and they're "trapped" on the island, inhabiting radios (and sometimes people).
Throughout the game you're also greeted by reflections of yourself in water, mirrors, etc. And you talk to them. At first you think they're just evil "haunted" projections of yourself. But it turns out they're _you_ from a past loop.
In the bad ending, you can save the spirits trapped by taking their place, becoming the visions that haunt the next "you" in the time loop. But even if you get the good ending and fix the loop, your character still travels back in time _in order to cause the events that lead to the good ending._ Really cool stuff.
For those confused the creature is not the anomaly, the creature is the result of a human walking into the anomaly.
The actual anomaly is a patch of Antarctica where time and space go a bit mental.
IS There a creature at all or is it the mind trying to interpret the anomoly the best it can?
@@lastofthe4horsemen279 i didn't get tht impression at all
@@lastofthe4horsemen279 This is exactly what I was thinking.
A Lovecraftian creature in the Antarctic. It’s almost too perfect, right?
@@lastofthe4horsemen279 the creature is Mann, his body and perception is distorted into what we percive as a big mass of lovecraftian gibbles.
Thank you for saving me 30 mins
I love these personal stories of people from scp's. Great narration as always my man. Also who's gonne add a couple of items ftom hoots videos to the scp database, the negative explosive would seam interesting
honestly i really love the personal stories, but I dislike when it feels like the article exists only to support them
like it's suppose to be scientific, but so many times I see a single audio/investigation log and it contains like a million times more information than the data sheet that came with it. The readers shouldn't be doing the job of the foundation, it's ridiculous and ruins the immersion completely. Idk. Maybe im just a big baby
@@NoConsequenc3 i get that too but i myself dont like the sterile and plain explenation and get more emerged when the story is told from someone's perspective. To feel the horrors from them
@@freekbertens4729 That is what the tales are for, the scp's themselves are supposed to be that sterile scientific tone. The tales people write about them are fine, but they have their own space in the wiki and honestly really need to be separated.
As soon as he had the encounter I figured it out. I love these types of stories. My only wish is that I got to see more of his downfall.
Eldritch beings tend to cause entropy to it's surroundings.
Translation: "MORE MADNESS AND CHAOS!!!!!" I like the way you think!
Thats fucked up, how much do you want this poor man ti suffer morenhes fucked enough already
I think the story would be even better with a little more length into what he is thinking, and feeling, as he goes on with the anomaly. It would make a great tale, if there isn't one already.
@@kendallchristoun Please google entropy. Makes no sense for what you're trying to say. Idk why people are obsessed with just throwing the word entropy at everything. I guess cuz it sounds cool?
I like this one. It’s basically just ‘getting lost in nature’ taken to its logical extreme.
Going in circles.
Loosing track of time.
Traveling all day but getting nowhere.
Audio/visual hallucinations.
Landmarks disappearing and reappearing.
Paranoia.
Mind playing tricks on itself.
Man this feels like an old fashioned episode of The Twilight Zone. Its got the mystery, the suspense, and the surprise "gotcha" moment at the end. An absolutely fantastic SCP!
isn't it funny how eldritch abominations always vibe and hang in or around Antarctica?
If you read HP Lovecraft stories, there are actually reasons why.
Lovecraftian monsters were supposedly living here on Earth billions of years ago, back when Antarctica was fertile. A few of them got trapped there when things started to change.
Few details of the in-between time periods are known, but it is suggested that the evolution of man, along with Wars amongst gods and aliens led to the imprisonment and Slumber of most EarthBound Eldritch beings. Some of them have awakened over the years due to human excavation and natural calamities, such as earthquakes.
That’s because like everyone else, they love the penguins.
Even Eldritch inspired creatures from other mediums have an affinity for snow and the cold and empty.
@@paule4566 UNLIKE us though, they like penguins for dinner. :(
It's a chill place to hang out.
This is hands down my favorite SCP. Been hoping for a long time that you’d do a reading of it. Fantastic stuff as always!
The moment I heard "non-Euclidean" I knew some trippy shit was bout to go down, and I was not dissapointed.
Scp 4666 is my favorite he has a video on it check it out
Of all the aquatic ones, i like that one that can teleport you to his realm of the ocean by simply being exposed to a body of water big enough for his appendages to appear through. Thats terrifying.
28:35
I love that “ok” at the end. It was like he was saying “ok, enough of that”.
i noticed that the coffee isnt hot today while talking about an antarctic scp, nice touch
So Joseph is the anomaly...caught in a neverending loop of space and time. A cold, white, unending hell.
"Always better to have more than one person when it comes to witnessing events."
Cognitohazards: Are you sure about that?
Just when I started to crave more Volgun content
Happens to me every Sunday just before 7pm
spoiler:
is an anomaly and time loop,Mann becomes the monster after he pass the threshold ,none of the group notices,then he see hiself as Mann because time loop and tries to warn them to "back",then the 2nd Mann snatches a piece of the first that is now the monster,then the cycle repeats
I wonder if the nature of the space anomaly is based off Zeno’s Paradox, which “proves” how you never actually get any closer to an object because there is an infinite distance between you and it.
precisely
As far as the SCP Foundation has drifted from its creepypasta roots, it's good to know that it can still occasionally produce good horror stories all these years later.
Yep, it’s not all powerscaling small children
One of your best: I will confess to not having a clue what was going on until "Day 11, early morning". Well played; and excellently narrated. This is why this remains my SCP channel of choice - I don't need pictures or animations to feel the horror...
Fucking trippy.
The question is, does the monster do this on purpose just to toy with people or is it forever cursed, constantly trying to call out and warn others to stay away?
I like to think that the "monster" is just an anomaly without a consciousness that's latched onto the author of the logs, making the author the anomaly and not the anomaly at the same time due to the distortion of time.
The monster wasn't the one telling the author to stay away. The monster causes space time to loop in on itself. The author was hearing his own warning from the future to stay away.
@@Darwyn4321 was my thought as well
@@Darwyn4321 so wait are all the voices that people think are telepathic communications from this creature just voices of people from the future and past converging upon each other because of this time distortion phenomena?
@@charlesquinton9127 Yeah, exactly. The author's stuck in a time loop where he becomes the monster. That's why when he took the tissue sample to that analyzer thing it read "0". The sample was human. He was taking a sample of his future self. Then he got to the point in the loop where his past self cut his back. That's also why the 'tracks were weird'. They were following their own tracks. That 'rescue party' was just their own research party from the past that they were seeing in the time loop.
I've been rewatching the video over and over, but the thing that I'm trying my best to understand is the significance of the changes in the way Commander Mann signs off his logs. For the first 8 days he use "J. Mann" to sign off mainly; with the exception of simply using "Mann" in some cases. This seemingly only happens when he talks about what the voices are saying, but I haven't been taking notes so I could be wrong. There is one or more times in the initial 8 day period where he doesn't write his name down to close the log, but I can't be certain of any significance. Though, the really interesting part begins in day nine when he decides to follow the tracks in the snow. Commander Mann starts to close his logs with "Joesph Mann" instead of "J. Mann" or otherwise. And when Commander Mann is inexplicably alone in the middle of the 9th day he starts to close with "Joseph" until the 10th day. By the 10th day he stops using his name in any variety to close his logs, as he seems to have started putting in less effort, or some other curious reason. I wish I could put more effort into this, but I haven't been taking notes and this is more for helping people catch something they might have missed, or might find intriguing.
Possibly a metaphor for his humanity slipping away over time (not referring to himself as Mann anymore) and then his sense of identity being lost altogether.
It might be a stretch, but with the excellent writing of this entry... it wouldn't surprise me if it was intentional.
I noticed it as well from the start, but brushed it off to later think of it again!
Thank you! I'm glad somebody else found it weird.
I assumed that it was a sign of hopelessness. At the start, they were impersonal research logs, but as time went on they became a personal journal, and eventually he wasn't signing them at all because he didn't expect anyone to ever read them.
I was thinking about this too, and my interpretation is that the whole reason his name is Mann, is to signify he's human when signing with that. I think he's turned into something else than a man after no longer referring to himself as Mann. What you said makes me wonder if him dropping the J. after hearing the voice is because the voice is J. leaving him just Mann. Really interesting details that could be about the duality of man.
One of my favorite things about the signatures, in retrospect, is when he stops prefacing the actual signature with "signed". It occurs directly after it becomes too late to abandon their journey, and indicates a loss of the past tense due to the anomaly messing with time. Instinctively, he seems to feel what is happening even before realizing it.
It's crazy how good your voice acting is dude
Holy shit, this is amazing. When the slow realization dawns on you, amplified by the fantastic voice acting of the POV character...
I love everything about this. When I want to get people into SCP in the future, this is what I will send them.
Thank you so much!
His voice acting is amazing. When he does voice work in the cartoon containment or the scp 096 movie i recognise his iconic voice immediately.
Okay, this one got me. I didn't see the twist until it was right in front of me. I can only wonder how Joseph never came to realize he was both the researcher and the tentacle creature.
He did eventually. "I just hope it isn't me next time."
There's no monster at all, the area itself is essentially eldrich (hence the title of the scp) and is messing with their perceptions of space and time. The area fucks with space time and the monster is just a scewed perception of his future self. The reason it shrinks as they approach is because they're getting closer to that point in time, not just space, and vanished as they overlap with that point in time. The reason is looks like a monster is because his brain is trying to peer at the future through an extra dimension its not equipped to make sense of so the result is a weird monster thing.
Volgun, love your videos man. Keep them coming 💯
I always looks forward to these videos. You do an amazing job!
Sundays are the best day of the week for me. Also the model is creepy looking but looks great.
Edit: I like this entry. It’s interesting read if you want to. The link to the entry is in the description.
So alot of people are saying that Joseph transformed into the monster, while others are saying that the anomaly is making him perceive his future self as a monster and that he's not actually a monster. I believe the latter to be true since #1 the DNA scanner showed no anomalous DNA and that it was 100% human, you would assume that if he was changing that his DNA would have changed as well but that can be up for debate. #2 and the reason I most believe this is that when he is his "future self" looking back at him and his team and trying to catch up, he's still human. He's made no remark about his body changing or anything, and to me a space and time warping anomaly would make more sense that a person that's already lived through that time line would be able to perceive the past then someone in the past trying to perceive something they have yet to go through. So maybe the reason that they see him as a monster at first is due to them not being able to perceive the future version of himself mixed with the anomalous nature of everything. This also goes to imply that the "monster" is not the anomaly but instead the space in Antarctica that they are researching is, and the fact that only he is the monster could be due to the fact that either #1 the "monster" was only "created" when he had lost contact with his other team members or #2 he was the first one to step into the anomaly, since he was the lead it would make sense that he was infront guiding everyone. For reason #1 the reason they were able to see the monster before they split up is due to the anomaly altering time and space meaning that the monster was never there until he showed up, but was also always there because he HAD showed up. Space/time looping and altering situations are always confusing but these were the best reasons I could come up with.
Take me to Mountains of Madness, Dr. Miller!
Great work as always! Note for all future horror writers, Euclid worked exlusively with flat planes. The whole non-euclidian thing started with Lovecraft who, if I remember correctly, was famously bad at math and science, hence his work being strange and fantastical cosmic horror.
In summary: We're all non-euclidian. Though, this author did a great job of using the term more accurately and not just saying the angles are weird.
Euclidean space is a special case of generalised mathematical space.
A non-euclidean space is one where one or more of Euclid's postulates don't hold. Such as that parallel lines will never intersect.
This is not true on the surface of a sphere, which is why we are all technically living in non-euclidean space, but the size of the Earth compared to us, makes the effect almost unnoticeable.
Although, to be fair to Lovecraft, a 2-sphere is not the only non-euclidean geometry. We could define a space-time that is much more complicated than the surface of a ball.
For example, the space surrounding the sunken city of R'lyeh is probably some weird 4-manifold that cannot be properly embedded in three dimensional space, which explains some of the weird architecture seen in Call of Cthulhu, such as how a man fell through an angle of masonry.
Ah, just got why he switched from “Mann” to “Joseph”. 😳
Why was that?
feel free to share
@@lastofthe4horsemen279 Well, I think because he’s not a man after that. He’s the monster.
@@-0rbital- Thanks
@@-0rbital- This is a really cool SCP file.The ones that contain many mysterious layers and isolated unforgiving terrain are some of my favoritez Thanks for sharIng your insights it adds to the nature of the anomoly! I was thinking that thru the ages anyone who comes too close becomes part of the anomolous loop that was why there were so many uni telligible voices all speaking at once
When the realization hit me, it was awesome. I have to commend the way this was written. It’s incredibly well done and honestly, something that I’ve never seen before.
I get extra excited when there is an Eldritch in the log!! Then again, it could have an emotional distortion ability...... O.o
Something about the writing in the original article feels a little off to me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the writing style feels out of place compared to most other SCPs.
It's old school lovecraftian writing in modern English. It feels off because it's supposed to. Leave the reader jarred and unawares of the existential cosmic horror waiting towards the end.
Man that's a great one, cheers for that!
Dang Joseph just ran in and took a sample of himself lol... who knows how long hes been doing that
"it feels like it's been two days, but it can't be since the sun hasn't set yet"
Antarctica my man, blame your writer.
Nicely done! Love your channel, Volgun. If you want a real marathon/chance to research, even learn a dialect of Sarkic, do scp-6013. That's the mount everest of what you do here.
You definietly have the best narration out of all the differrnt channels i watch,
The effort that goes into each video always impresses me, keep up the amazing work
The Millisecond I saw "SCP" and "Eldritch" I just had to click
Such a cool idea ruined by boring ass logs signed by J man.
Shrinkage is always a bad thing, anomalous or not.
This SCP is really cool but good lord the dialogue in the journal is horribly written lmao
Still not as scary as the Lake Neuchatel shark.
This is the second time I heard this video plus to a original time I heard of this SCP and I have to say it really annoys me, the Foundation supposedly knows of those logs but at the "description" part dismissing them only as a shock value later on, even more a time loop like that doesn't matches other parts of the "description" part, this SCP is two parts, one an interesting story and one forcefully stitched to the story part so it can qualify as an SCP, it should have just been an Eldritch horror story.
Ventral is on the bottom...
Me at day 2: "ight y'all. *slaps knees* time to head on outta here"
This why ion trust mfs that are like "yeah no we not getting paid for this but wanna just do this thing for the fuck of it "
If the ice caps melt, we are screwed with all the SCP's that are frozen there.
😀
Reads almost like one of Stephen King's breaks in realities, "thinnies"
This was incredibly well written. It had its hooks in me immediately
My only criticism is that the MTF is Eta-5, not E.T.A.-5. "Eta" (Η / η) is a letter of the Greek alphabet, pronounced "ita."
It's pronounced more like "aeta."
This thing sounds like what happens if you corrupt a character model to the point where it becomes absolutely unrecognizable and glitches all over the place.
It will always drive me crazy how he says eta as E.T.A. every time and not as the greek letter but I feel like him changing it might take getting used to at this point
Isn't it Estimated Time of Arrival?
@@bestaround3323 yes but when it refers to mobile task forces it's the greek letter eta
@@bestaround3323 It is if you're talking about time. But in context, it's supposed to be the Greek letter.
I GOT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE AT THE END. HOOOOOLLLYYYY
I started having my suspicions when he mentioned the human tracks, knowing what I know about Eldritch Creature tales.
As someone who's just getting into SCPs for the first time, this is really well done! Is there a podcast version of these videos? If not it would be a great way to make them more accessible and let people listen while doing other things, which for me is the main appeal of listening instead of reading the articles. Either way great job and thanks for all the amazing content!
He does have a Spotify podcast, but it only has 2 episodes... Another great SCP content creator, The Exploring Series, uploads almost all of his content to Spotify though. So, if you want more, you could check his stuff out too
I mean, nothing is stopping you from just listening to the video...
I'm of the opinion that this anomaly is a purely temporal, spacial, and perceptual distortion. But there is no creature.
The perception of an unnatural ever shifting horror, is the result of a human brain trying to comprehend something that's temporally out of sync
Suuuure it is
The creature does exist. It’s Mann, but it is a product of the anomaly, not the anomaly itself
@@phoenixfire9176 I am of the opinion that while it is Mann, he hasn't transformed into some weird tentacle monster. That's just how his past self's mind makes sense of what its seeing through whatever time distortion lets them overlap.
@@rwberger6 indeed.
"always better to have more than one person when it comes to witnessing events".
Uh no it's not, not when it comes to infohazards.
Lovecraftian = Gun B Gud
This one is excelent. At first looks like just another monster tale, but the tension builds on a good rhythm and that twist was awesome.
Hey, I remember Night Mind covering this one in SCP Vault 4!
This SCP-2764 is an SCP that creates SCPs. For whatever reason, however it has happened, by going towards the Anomalous Center, you are slowly turned into an 'Eldritch' creature by other's perception. Scarily enough, even your own perception. Beyond the Event Horizon, so to speak, time seems to fluctuate... goes both forwards and backwards. It folds into itself and ultimately, collapses.
The reason that this Eldritch Being seems to 'Fluctuate' its location, is based on how far from the anomalous source the effected individual manages to stray before termination, the reason the anomaly returns to this specific patch of the Antarctic is because of how many individuals stray into its center.
Alternatively, one person is always 'trapped' inside the anomalous center, being viewed as the 'Creature' and being stuck inside a horrible time loop. For them, they would see the world around them as being both incredibly fast and incredibly slow. Each moment stretching for eternity, each year passing before they can blink. The reason for those 'Fluctuations' is likely to serve as a fishing lure, to replace the trapped individual, similar to that of an Angler Fish's antennae being used to lure food.
Moving on to the voices each individual hears, why one might be afraid of it immediately and know to stay away, while the others would not, is due to knowing yourself.
In the case of Soldier-A, who heard the voice, got scared, and denied going on the expedition, it was a case of his anomalous self successfully warning himself about this paradox, giving him pause to turn back, creating a new dimension in which he himself manages to survive becoming the anomalous creature.
In J-Mann's case, or 2764-A, he did not understand his own warnings clearly enough to turn back before it was already too late. J Mann himself having become the 'Center' of the Anomaly and being shackled by it.
If anybody has anything further to comment or recommendation for this line of thought, please feel free to add a comment. I'm aware I am likely suffering several fallacies in thought.
A FANTASTIC explanation!! Even when I understood what was going on, I was struggling to fully wrap my head around the mechanism of everything. Thanks a ton for taking the time to write this!
@@wixdraco151 I appreciate the sentiment, but there is still several things I can't wrap my head around.
What happened to the other Soldiers? Are they, perhaps, lost explorers fighting their own eldritch selves?
The more I ponder this SCP, the more I realize I was perhaps too hasty with my original judgement. I do still believe I have half the picture, but a puzzle missing so many pieces is hardly satisfactory.
Did he become the monster or just tricked by it and his friends killed or maybe they recovered his journal
Great work man, love this one
Midnight here. Thought I'd listen to this to help sleep. What a great idea that was!
Hmmm, I liked the performance of this (though in a few places Eta the greek letter got read as ETA the english acronym) - I just don't think this scp was that well written 😕It just spells things out really obtusely and I don't think Mann wrote his entries in a very believable way. The character just saying flatly 'X or Y is horrific' or 'I am stricken with terror' or even 'I am very frightened' just doesn't feel authentic or convey actual horror. I mean the amount of times he does it is comical bordering on the annoying.
The non-euclidean spacetime stuff was cool though, if a bit contrived. You'd think something interesting would have been going on with the appearance of the landscape itself, but nope.
