Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3998 is to be contained in Secure Holding Locker 3998-1 (SHL 3998-1). SHL-3998-1 is to be fireproofed, and vacuum sealed to prevent access to oxygen. SCP-3998 and SHL 3998-1 are scheduled for cleaning every day at 9:00 AM.
If any D-class personnel spontaneously ignite, the seal to SCP-3998's containment locker must be inspected and repaired/replaced as necessary. For safety reasons, Site-34 must hold D-class personnel, particularly those who have been convicted of first-degree murder charges and domestic abuse.

"If the Wicker Witch targets any staff, check that out maybe" - love that little tidbit at the beginning. You think you know where it's going, and then there are several twists into a legit cool urban legend.
If I was working HR at site 45, I might elect to book the meeting room closest to 3998 for anti domestic abuse training courses
Oh, man! That "MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!" was so freaking intense and well acted!
People were crazy back then 😬. Gotta convey that
Totally agreed. I got goosebumps. :D
I was listening to a couple episodes to go to sleep.
Needless to say, I am goddamn wide awake right now lmao
I felt genuine hatred for that voice actor before I realized it's just acting. Detestable character lol
He caught her "shaking the Devil's tail."
So that's what the kids call it these days.
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to remain outside proper flame-retardant containment conditions.
But, how do we know it's a Witch?
This comment is legendary
@@Projectdarke I dunno. Kinda looks like one.
She turned me into a highly combustible paraplegic @@Projectdarke
@@TheCheseWzrd🤨 a highly combustible paraplegic?
“The one who burns the witches always ends up in the flame”
Aahhh, Scarlet Vow
Scarlet Vow, a man of culture I see
The twist being that the cadaver isn't Candice, but Aiden is extremely simple, but sometimes that's all you need to make an effective SCP
At first you feel sorry for Candace for burning each night, but then - phew! Everything’s fine again.
Well… relatively speaking.
I thought that it was candice and the one still going about is clover but this makes way more sense, do you think there cadaver is like a conduit of her will which is why it still ignited the d class
@@pointee2382 It's all right there in the text, particularly the final sentence:
"Only one of them walked out of that burning house, and it was her. His body was never found; some say that the husband futily crawled out of the wreckage looking for his missing legs, others say that the witch took his body elsewhere, so that she could continue to torture him, but many more say that he's in a hell of the witch's own creation, burning over and over again, and bringing those like him down with him, punishing them forever."
The body is Aiden. He is cursed to repeatedly burn, AND to burn those like him (other drunken spousal abusers) as well. This is why those D-class can combust, and why any other staffers who combust must be subsequently investigated, as they were almost certainly abusers.
The other clue that the contained cadaver is actually Aiden, and that Candice is still out there lies in the bit about the increased murders by way of burning in the state of Massachusetts after the corpse was contained by the foundation.
Candice, the Wicker Witch, still lives.
Well thanks for spoiling the twist by being the top comment when I opened the app😂.
@@keahnuparata1736I hae never had this problem, even with the app. Maybe just dont look at the comments
Ah, yes. The word “safe” in red letters. How reassuring 😂
It's not actively resisting containment, so it counts as "Safe."
Remember Safe Euclid and Keter are the indicators how easy something is to contain.
Just a corpse, it can vibe in a room
Dang… the amount of emotions in the Judge’s voice in the audio log is just **chef kiss**
One of those SCPs where, yeah, I’m comfortable with letting it do its thing.
"oh no! A man known for beating his wife just exploded into flames!"
Insert Loki Meme: "Yes, yes. Very sad. Anyway..."
@@SilverserriHammond- "so does that mean he's not coming on then?"
Honestly same and until it misjudges a person I'm fully ok with just leaving it be.
Until there's collateral damage.
@tinkornhardfist7574 that's the downside.
Fire tends to spread.
So catching 1 person inside. It could destroy a while neighbourhood
Clovis's letter remaining sealed and unread makes me a bit sad, feels like the two never got to reunite. 😢
Maybe it being unopened and unread, together with the fact that the husband did apparently get burned, have his legs ripped off, and now seems to be the one carrying the curse around wreaking vengeance on the wife’s behalf, means that Clovis and the wife did find each other, Clovis was able to tell her what to do in person without need for the letter, and the two women went off together, leaving this cursed relic of the husband’s corpse behind.
@@muddlewait8844Bingo. It's actually a very happy ending.
@@muddlewait8844 how does that imply that? I feel like we’re just getting into wishful head canon territory now
@@AnthonyBlamthony Because Candace somehow knew to try to burn her husband and steal his legs without reading it, implying she actually talked to Clovis rather than reading the letter. So not *everything* had in fact gone horribly wrong, and they both survived and escaped.
@@AnthonyBlamthonyWhy would she have gotten the demon's exact message without having seen the letter? By reuniting with the demon before even returning home. She dragged herself into the woods to be with her love before she ever tried to go take revenge.
"May GOD have MERCY on your SOUL" Volgun must've been slighted by a real life witch cause that came from the heart.
Christ: Be mindful of and kind to each other.
Christians: May GOD have MERCY on your SOUL!!!1!
@rd2680 yeah, I'm convinced that no one understands their faith worse tgan Christians. Then again, it's full of contradictions
@@axelthegreat9 I'm convinced you know nothing about Christianity.
But that's not my problem, it's yours and I don't envy it however I'd be willing to teach you to not be so intolerant of others.
@worldcure7883 I'm far from intolerant. I just don't like a religion that claims their "perfect" deity is capable of only love, and then goes on to praise it's wrath and mass murder.
@@axelthegreat9 One day people like you will start understanding that evangelicals in the US aren't the representatives of the hundreds of millions of christians in th world
It’s a shame Volgun’s getting less views rn, I think it’s because interest in niche subcultures, like SCP, come and go, and right now there’s less buzz. I think It’ll have more waves of popularity sooner or later, but it must be frustrating for someone like Volgun that’s maintained a high bar of quality and still has seen dwindling numbers through no fault of his own. In any case, I appreciate the high effort you put into your readings.
"I'm here for you, even if I'm not here with you." Lost someone dear to me about two months ago. Lord that line hit me like a meteor. I cried hard, and am NOT sorry. This is why art is important. Thank you for being why I have those MAGICK words to snuggle from time to time. I really do appreciate it.
I’m sorry to hear that
I'm very sorry for your loss, our lost loved ones are really never far away from us, I lost my mam in 2008, I talk out loud 2 her every day, just like I would when she was here on this plane, writing in a journal is good as well, sending healing love and strength ❤❤❤
I just need to say that you are such an amazingly talented voice actor. I can't wait to hear your voice in a game or movie of some kind.
“Game”
does he know?
@@keltec1279 I do not. What have I missed?
@@kevinsundelin8639 he voiced scp 049 in CB but that’s just about it
@@keltec1279 That's still really cool!
Sometimes I forget he's not even American, he just does the accent so well!
I think the ending line is the most haunting. The SCP is really Aiden and the Wicker Witch is loose. But it also means that if they catch her she shall once more be shackled to the man she hates.
She should be captured because her victims are those who have committed violent crimes not people who are violent criminals which means that if you ever were abusive in the past you are condemned even if you turn your life around and become a good person who truly regrets their actions
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 Oh no, I'm not defending her. In fact, the wicker witch story makes it clear the two were perfect for each other. Aiden physically absurd her while the witch mentally tormented him. The witch then placed him into a hell of her own making so it would be a fitting end for her to be trapped into one of his. It's poetry, two terrible people who hate each other, bound for all eternity with not even death keeping them apart.
@@orpheusthepoet3149 okay it is just that people seem to only see her as a victim and not a monster herself.
@@orpheusthepoet3149He abused her before she mentally tortured him, the mental torment mixed with her placing him in a hell she made were both 100% justified. He abused her, then had her executed like a jackass. In my opinion, she's in the right.
@@AngelDust6969 The story is that they both hated each other. The woman knew the demon from when she was still young and gained the ability to make him miserable well before they married. The woman tortured him as payback for her father forcing her into a marriage she didn't want while the man abused her as she didn't follow the ideal behavior a woman was supposed to have at the time. Regardless, I don't really think what she did was justified. I get wanting revenge but torturing your abuser for 300+ years for something you experience for, at most, an hour feels incredibly excessive. I'd get it if it was like, for every year they were together as like a sort of narrative catch all punishment for everything he did but this is not that. This is on the level of people who think antiheroes that swear and kill jaywalkers are cool. I feel like if you wanted me to sympathize with her she would be written as a victim. Instead she is written as someone unashamed of their actions. I think they both are terrible people but I can at least understand why she did what she did, even if I don't agree with it.
This really takes "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" to a whole new level
"SCP-3998 has been classified as Safe. Sometimes one of the D-Class explodes, but that's well within containment parameters."
the classification "safe" is more for a very welled understood scp rather then it being harmless
Imagine leaving such an impression on a demon that it gives you back your soul and resurrects you to have your revenge.
This is an excellently well written SCO story.
I think its implied they fell in love
@hannahspoetrycorner6259 you think?!
I'd argue it crossed the line from implicit to explicit lol.
Given that this is an scp story this could also not be a demon but an actual witch
Thank you!!!

I've never commented on one of these videos. I've watched every single one you've put out in the past 3 years, often multiple times each. Being able to see and here as you have gotten further and further talented has been awesome, and I'm very glad to be a part of a community with this much talent.
Thank you, Doctor Miller.
*me, while listening to the description of the Witch's revenge* "...good for her."
Same, orbweaver, same.
eh
you reading out "big booty judy" cracked me up something fierce
I really like this one. Well done, Volgun. And mad props to Fantem, the writer, too! I won't forget this one anytime soon.
Easily one of my favorite SCPs
Man, Volgun killed it with the voice acting in this one
Chills at your voice acting man! The bone shaking anger in it really just got to me! As always, awesome work, wonderful reading and amazing acting. Thank you for another video.
This is one SCP for which TheVolgun's and Dr Bob's interpretations go really well together, FYI.
17:32 nice incorporation of witch history Fantem
19:00 nice animation Volgun, very appropriate
SCP-Exploring and Dr. Bob each did a video on this SCP. But SCP Exploring got into detail with the journal from one of Candice's neighbors, and when they read the part wher ethey first accuse Candice of being a bad wife that actually started the superstitions on her I thought for sure the neighbor was going to accuse Candice of being a Witch instead. But back then, I figured being called a 'Bad Wife' might as well be just as bad from the way it was said.
What's interesting is that confession got you life in prison in Salem not the death penalty. The judge wouldn't have sentenced her.
That title is giving my dyslexia a good run around
Babe, wake up, new volgun video just dropped
This is one of my favorite SCPs with a good story that's intimate and personal in scope.
Been getting into SCP since around 2 weeks ago. Of the channels I've subscribed to to feed my "obsession", i like your delivery and voice the most so far.
I love how the "Local Legend" story has clearly been passed down and changed over time, given the evidence showing the "demon" loved the would-be-witch.
The plot twist at the end was WILD!!
What a punishment….😮
Incredible voice acting again!
voice acting from the judge on point
One brave man once said:
"I'll call you back"
He did not, in fact, call back.
*heart-wrenching tale of societal injustice*
"And a special thank you to: Big Booty Judy"
Pretty sure a protestant court would not be using a figure from Jewish folklore that acts as a contradiction to the story in the Bible and Torah that displays Adam's cowardice; but hey, people like to twist the Lilith story into some "feminist" thing, even though it was supposed to make women look bad for not following there husbands (hence why it was written way later)- so I'm not suprised it was misused here also.
You are quite correct in noting that Lilith doesn't actually appear in any Christian biblical text, at least the ones that still exist. Her oft-cited role as Adam's wife is also in large part interpretation from other sources. The popular modern interpretation of Lilith is anachronistic to the historical setting this story exists in, but it's so ubiquitous these days that most Christians have adopted it as headcannon, even though it does not align with the bulk of Christian biblical interpretations. Religion has always been downstream from culture, as is evident in many other modern changes (some announced as recently as last year by the current Pope and by the one before him only a few years ago).
Going back and listening to some of my favorites. I love this one.
Interesting fact: Salem Witch Trials not only actually happened, but Salem Massachusetts is still an active town today and is one of the most haunted cities is the US and world, mostly commonly by the victims of the witch trials, but I’m sure with how old Salem is there are ghost from other points in time after the witch trials
Also it is believe a mold that causes hallucinations that grows in the wheat was what started the witch trials, but I’m sure there was a bit of mass hysteria too
Giles was a beast of a man, went out in the most badass way possible
I think you’re thinking of ergot fungus. Causes ergotism, aka Saint Anthony's fire
This is why a little knowledge is dangerous.
@@MilionMaru didn't they also synthesize LSD from an ergot fungus?
@@Whale-xq6yw Yup ergotamine. I woundn't recommend taking that for fun though, it gives you extreme vascular constriction which feels like your arms and legs are trying to squeeze themselves off. Can't imagine not knowing you had that in your system.
One of those I've heard a dozen times but it's just a well written scp.
This is one of those ones that leads to more questions and desire for more info…I like these types more than the long form ones that basically just a story or journal log (Dread Titania comes to mind)
-spoilers-
Who is Clovis? What powers does Clovis have? Where do s Candace? What powers does she have now?
her voice is haunting
This SCP feels like a video game intro rather than an scp.
Whoa that was a fantastic uno reverse there at the end!!
Another brilliant and weird story and I must say the voice acting is always top notch.
A story how you always need to love everyone in your life.
Have noticed a serious improvement in audio quality and voice acting lately and the new girl is doing great to
The burnings will continue until morale improves
Here, fire king. You dropped this 👑
“Oh no, it kills murderers and abusers….anyway.”
Basically everyone listening to this.
And former murders and abusers. What if they changed and became good people? Doesn’t matter to the witch to her.
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 and that is where things start to get muddy, that said, if someone murdered or hurt someone you cared about, would you forgive them? I probably wouldn’t.
Yooo nice!!! I wrote this one!
Did you?!! All the love, kudos, and fanboi shout-outs to you!! I love this one so much! One of my favorite SCPs, hands-down. I wish I could ask you a few questions about this SCP, but I have a feeling the mystery is part of the good writing. I'm so happy you wrote this and it's getting the love it deserves. It's inspired writing!
I come here when my dark side wants to emerge and destroy anything trying to block my rights of passage.
Great therapy
Best SCP plot I've heard in a while, wow
Clicked this video because the thumbnail is metal af.
Volgun, your Midland accent is almost perfect. You pronounce "rather" as "rawther" when it should be a short "a" sound (as in "bat"). Other than that, your accent is perfect to my ear
"Just as Lilith has done!"
VERY interesting line, there. I surmise many of your audience members may not know who Lilith is...
this is my new favorite SCP. incredible story.
I'm having a serious feeling of deja vu, I could swear you covered this one before! 🤔
Wow....... Intense. Yet again showing why you're the best SCP channel out there 👍🏻
This all happened in Massachusetts but the land area known as SCP-4006 doesn’t physically exist so this is like a Schrödinger Cat situation.
Someone had fun in the voice booth
❤ thank you 😸
Hey volgun love your videos dude will you be making anymore scp shorts, those were so cool.
Eventually yeah. I need to make more models to animate
@@TheVolgunyeaaaa🎉
Blessed yet again, by Father Volgun.
Perfekt timing
I leave my notifications on for this Chanel
Is there an SCP that lets you listen to transcribed conversation as audio, or of the written word in the writers voice/as the writer imagined it sounding?
Because that would be awfully convenient to explain these videos set before recordings for example.
These are meant to be read as edited transcripts of a written diary, the volgun is just hamming up the voice acting for the fun of it.
Kind of reminds of ghost rider, simplifying this scp further, it's a vengeful spirit with a few added steps and specific attributes.
This is metal as fuck, dude.
Not me wanting to be a voice actor the moment I heard “May God have mercy on your soul!”
The uh, audio recording effects and sort of 'reason' behind the recording is a little goofy given the historical context of when the original documents would have been created (and obviously not 'recorded'); not gonna lie, it doesn't quite fit here. I get the intention, but it just doesn't quite work. It is pretty funny to imagine the Foundation hiring people to record this and getting a little too into their roles, though. Some Phd in Hostile Semiotics really wanted to be a Theater major and SEIZED THEIR MOMENT in this Foundation archival lab.
OMG, Pitch Haven!
Wouldn't it have made more sense to just read out the interview from the 1700s instead of treating it with different voices like it was an audio file considering they wouldn't have had any way to record it?
Can we please have an scp reading of SCP-3922 with the extended test logs?
This is one of my favorite. Simple well done and a good twist
Hmm. The writing kept taking me out of this one, tbh. That diary was supposed to be written in the 1600's, but reads like modern day.
Volgun's performance, however, was stellar as always.
It did say it was edited for clarity. I take that to mean that the language was made more easy to understand. Bearing in mind that the people for whom the entry was written don't have the time to work out what the content was. The original text would likely have been available for research purposes.
15:05-Oh s%$%!
The true witch is still uncontained!
This scp should not have been classified safe in the first place!
"the wicker witch" is contained though, just not the actual witch. they would be considered separate objects for containment, especially since they don't even fall under the same containment class.
I hope Candice and Clovis were reunited one day 😢
Reading the comments makes me suspect we have a few burning candidates among us.
"Witches don't need...prayers."
I'm surprised she didn't drag the entire town with her into her domain so that she would torture them in perpetuity.
Yay, one of my favourites
What an inventive way to write a warning of the seduction AI will be bringing to humans like nothing they have ever experienced.
Grateful for my inclination to stay indifferent to my emotions and partial to imaginations with imagery.
So the skeleton in containment is the husband? So, do we know who is killing the people since containment? I hope that candance got her happily ever after.
No, she became the abuser at the first chance.
@@rottenmeat5934what do you mean?
She‘s killing abusers. You beat/harrass/kill your s/o? Better hope Candace never catches you.
@rd2680 you'd be surprised how many people in the comments have a problem with that. I'm happy scps like these exist if only to expose the vile weeds we have in the community. I don't much like the scp myself, but anyone who actually takes the side of the people who prosecuted Candace needs a long, long look in the mirror.
@@Raikeran bro cause now she just goes around killing people whether or not they changed or grew out of their past abusive selves. Chronically online people in this comment section are like “oh Candice doing good things like a girlboss” are cheering on a legit indiscriminate murder lmao

8:47 take my time. Am I evil?
I’m just left more confused. Is it the husband, the wife or the demon?

How is that SCP material ?

Man I wanna make an actual scp page sometime but the one time I tried to get greenlit the only reply was a little harsher than I expected which scared me from trying again :) (note; not all scps have to have their existence explained, thats the whole point of mystery)
Yeah, the feedback forums are dead, and the site is full of elitist pricks yelling „you should have gone to the feedback forums first“ while they themselves refuse to go there.
@@ArDeeMeeOh my gosh thank you, I thought I had made a mistake or something, I guess that's what it's like all the time 😭
@@angelcakeart That was the state two years ago. With all those thousands of existing articles a certain sluggishness has set in. The SCP is like any fandom, 95 % just „grow out of it“ eventually and move on. That’s why the userbase deflated so much after lockdowns were lifted.
I don’t really have a solution to this, it’s just basic site degradation over time. As long as it remains up, and I can re-read my favorites, that’s just the state it will be in. 🤷♀️
Just write your spooky stories somewhere else. Replace all SCP jargon with substitute lingo, ie. Instead of "SCP/object", use "the entity, specimen," etc. I can't tell you a good place to post it, but I hope you find one. The SCP site is extremely picky on who is allowed to write anymore, and you'll get shat on if your entry isn't a 4D-extra-dimensional metaverse-spanning jargon-filled epic by this point.
@@bugjamsThat is a great idea! I really hope a more positive and creative community will form in the future that can spawn more new things that the scp community just isn't anymore
Kitty Hawk was the place they flew not the planes name
I am a Candice Hayes and Clovis stan now
