SCP-783 │ There Was A Crooked Man │ Keter │ Uncontained/Hostile SCP
Item #: SCP-783
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Personnel must monitor the town of Temby, and continue to develop the entity's profile. Its victims are to be retrieved, incinerated, and cataloged in this file.
Update: Due to recent events, a stronger Foundation presence has been determined to be necessary for the containment of SCP-783 and its related phenomena. An ancillary building near the local hospital, as well as two domiciles, have been commandeered from the locals for Foundation use.

"There is a distinct lack of corpses" is my new favourite line in SCP canon, in any other situation a brilliant result, in THIS universe **run**
Fr, when you read how many SCPs result in death on a seemingly daily basis. Pointing out the lack of dead bodies is hilarious.
"There is nothing of note as D-Class descends down the tangle of anomalous corpses."
wut
--"Someone is getting stabbed"--
@@ReticentSparrow welcome to the Foundation. Mountains of corpses and fraying sanity is just Tuesday.
Even in most cases with the SCP foundation, a lack of corpses is a good thing. This entry is just written so well that when you hear "a district lack of corpses", your blood runs cold.
"It exclusively attacks those who are alone and indoors after sunset."
Me (who lives alone and watching this before bed): "Damn it".
Don't worry, unless you live in Temby, then worry.
I often stick an earphone and listen to them at night....and this one didn't let me get to sleep
did you live?
It said that as I read this I’m not even joking, oh god
I like how it begins as a standard SCP entry, and then subtly turns into a legit horror story, like something you would read in a book. It really shows how long this one has been on the wiki.
Yeah - I remember watching a video from someone else. The whole thing ended at the end of the first exploration by the D Class, I can only assume the author and/or someone else or others decided to add those logs. Maybe we'll get the last redacted log - but not likely. Gotta stop the story at one point without trying to make it all make perfect sense, yeah? More creepy that way.
Series 1 hits different.
The writing was on par with some of the best short stories I've read. Really well done.
Yeah. It doesn't even try to jerk itself off as the Most Powerful Mega Entity Ever, something that has gotten *way* too common with SCPs. It feels like authors are more concerned about making The Strongest Guy than creating interesting, creepy stories with narrative limitations.
Series 1 was proper horror before stuff became too meta and self-awere
I've never rooted for a D-class personel so hard in my whole life. Poor D2172
Such a beast to have survived so long
Kinda funny how despite going in completely blind he seemed to have a better decision making process than the expert pulled straight from a bank of poor decision making horror movie characters
ikr??? and it's so rare too, I was expecting for him to die much more earlier. Writers tend to portray the foundation in very different lights. More often than not you either get "cold blooded and cruel" butts dragging death row criminals (or even innocents at times) in for a ride, or you get the ethics commitee driven foundation working for the greater good with necessary sacrifices. I honestly prefer the latter style because too much of the former feels like some sort of misery/red shirt murder fetish imo lol
you should listen to the one about the red sea object, the D-class in that one are legends
Let us not forget the D-class that caused those shadow people anomaly to become neutralized
Some very nice details in the exploration logs. D2172 did everything right, but they were already affected before they even entered the anomaly. Note that the first set of protective equipment didn't fit.
Idk about did everything right lol. Running off blindly into the woods and then shooting what was very obviously a huge appendage and pissing off its owner were probably not the right decisions.
@@booleanillogical4757 Lol, I was about to say 😂
I wonder if they were still alive by the end when they were trying to get pulled out of the pit... or if they were another monster like the creature that got them. Very sad.
@@StoutShako I interpret that as him trying to escape but already being in process of turning into a longboy.
@@booleanillogical4757 Dumb. Yes. He clearly knew how to fight and was able to survive where an average Joe would have died long before he did. Most likely an assassin, I'd like to think a Triad member. But no soldier. The fact to gear wouldn't fit is indeed a great little detail I had already forgot! I just figured it had to do with some spatial anomaly thing, or something trying to undermine getting him in the harness - but you're likely correct. Glad whatever it is seems to be in an infinite Timby loop. Makes me wonder if its not infinite realities slightly different from baseline reality due to several inconsistences in the terrain. Either way, someone was most certainly broken on a wheel long ago. Explains their knowledge of life and why they'd prey on Timby and be chained to that area. Witchcraft, indeed! Even got a name.
A classical murder monster of chilling cruelty. I love it when SCP authors get experimental or high-concept, but sometimes you gotta go back to the well. The deep, cursed, stagnant well full of bloated corpses. You do not recognize the bodies in the water.
I think I recognized one of those bodies.
@@PanicRolling no no you don’t
@@nicholson5490 not yet
I…. I think I recognize someone I know in the water…
One of them is definitely Eric, I know that guy.
There was a crooked man
And he walked a crooked mile
He found crooked sixpence
And a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat
Which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together
In a crooked little house
Wholesome
But the crooked man was sad and once he had a thought.
Why should he be crooked, when others, they were not?
Everything was worthless, he heaved a great big sigh
And he went and found a rope and tied it to the sky.
Upon a chair he stood, his eyes were blank and dead.
Without another thought, he went and hung his head.
Now the story’s not yet over, for this tale is mythed and old,
Go hide under the cover… There’s something not yet told.
There once was a crooked man, who had a crooked smile,
And if you’ve lived his life, he’ll send you through a trial.
He lives for your torment, makes it full of strife,
And he won’t be content… Until you take your life.
@@jamescalvi1072 How long did it take for you to make this?
@@lives4games620 didn’t make it. It’s a reference to an old rpg maker game. The crooked man. Would highly recommend it
@@jamescalvi1072 oh ok
Something that really adds this extra bit of subtle horror is how some things about the exploration logs seem to get... crooked... the further on they go. Characters who are supposed to be dead re-appear with no explanation, staff behave abnormally... Part of me wonders if there might be some memetic property at play with this SCP alongside everything else.
One of the article's tags on the site is contagion, but there isn't a memetics or antimemetics tag. The fact it's keter despite being apparently localized to a town and selecting isolated individuals during limited periods of time every 12 years is extremely odd. I think the implication is that some of the staff got compromised by the entity from watching the recording equipment and then got mindjacked when they walked away by their-selves. You'll notice that D-2172 in the first exploration log had trouble putting armor on. Whether this is indication that D-2172 was already compromised, or that some of the other team members trying to equip him were compromised, is unknown. The goal of the base-side distractions, distorting communications, and camera obstructions was to try and isolate team members from observation from other people. The bulk of the documentation is made by compromised team members, and thus is likely mostly lies aside from anything automated. Some of the unaffected personnel suspected others were compromised and then tried to recontrol the situation in different ways that then got logged as strange, adverse activity. The author has stated that there will be additional logs eventually, so I'm interested in seeing if my theory is right.
@@JakeN482 Wait, wait, wait...so you think Lafayette and D-774 were the uncompromised ones? :O that makes it creepier
@@Tiabliaj1989 They very well could be! It's an unfinished story with a lot of moving parts and with a lot of unreliable characters, some of whom are clearly suspicious. There's just not enough characters in this story operating in teams, and not enough automated equipment monitoring the base camp to truly rule out who is or is not compromised. The foundation had a forced error here: they were too frugal with the number of assets they assigned to this. However in the hypothetical case where this was a cognitohazard, it would have been the right number of people. Staff balancing is hard.
The things that stick out most in suggesting everyone is unreliable is the nature of the static appearing, and people getting sick. Static could be on the transmitter's end, on the relay, or on the receiver's end. Illness could be psychogenic (natural) or induced (ghost actually making people sick). Pinning down exactly where the crooked man is (assuming it's only one ghost) would have helped a lot.
In my opinion the safest group was the agent with the dog, right up until the dog got snatched away and S.O. Nix was alone. The alternate realities are the "safest" places to be in order to not be compromised when shit is going down in mainline reality, aside from the corpses being independently evil. This is all assuming that the crooked man and the corpses are truly independent problems.
There is also the possibility the corpses are actually aspects of the crooked man, as suggested by D-2172 being on the wheel. This means the crooked man is less of a weak reality bending ghost subjecting others to their own fate, and more of a god who is possessing multiple people simultaneously.
There is _also_ the possibility (which I don't believe) that the alternate realities don't really exist, similar to theories regarding SCP-354's ending twist. The first camera feed of the place is from just D-2172, who traveled alone through a mass grave of victims and there was a period when his headlamp wasn't on. It isn't clear if S.O Nix's camera was on for the descent either. I don't think this possibility is likely because it'd be narratively unsatisfying to have two logs documenting such a fake place.
@@JakeN482 I can't even begin to reply to this comment, it just blew my mind. Do you post on these videos often? :x I will be looking out for you in future because you explain good to me dumb brain!
@@Tiabliaj1989 I regularly watch TheVolgun and TheExploringSeries for my regular dose of SCP, but I don't comment unless I see confusion in the comments. And don't feel dumb! When it comes to SCP, it's extremely possible to overthink what's happening because the possibility space is functionally infinite. Unless you have a lot of reliable information to sift through, or can go directly ask the author what's up, a lot of the SCPs and stories are pretty open ended and subject to later experimentation by other people. That's why the community project is so great: the methodically scientific minded and the more directly superstitious can sit down to have a productive conversation about the things that go bump in the night.
Note: due to a misspelling of the town name by researcher ⬛️⬛️⬛️ on mission documentation, foundation personnel were sent to the village of “Temmie” by mistake. Foundation personnel are still missing.
HOI
HELP GET MEH TO COLEG
Hell yeah lemme get that tim armor
OI!
TEMI'S LIMS R 55 METERS L0NG!
We're sending one of our mobile task forces to investigate.
Further investigation has brought to our attention that MTF units sent there were captured by an entity known as "Bob", not in accordance to the name given to any other entity in said village.
"Dr. Bright may no longer offer the SCP-783 testing house as an Airbnb."
You gotta fund this stuff somehow.
“Doctor Bright may no longer harvest flesh from the Temby mass grave and attempt to sell it as ‘exotic meat’ from a local food truck.”
"Doctor Bright may no longer break off pieces of SCP-783 victims to sell or use as canes. Seriously Bright, what the actual fuck? Two Junior Researchers are still scarred from that incident."
You know it’s good writing when the story makes the concept of being chased by an evil foot sound scary.
You might really enjoy "The Body Politic" from Clive Barker's Books of Blood Vol.4
Foot fetish gone wrong...
You'd love Courage the Cowardly Dog
There was an episode of "Monsters" that had a finger.
I mean, the story escalates on the level of speed and scale worthy of a Stephen King-novel. Love it. Maybe this is an insult to SCP by the way. Maybe an insult to Stephen King lol. But I love both so cheers!
One of the few scps that truly lives up to the platforms reputation for horror. This would make for a pretty terrifying movie I think.
I agree
It would also make a great horrer game..
@@jwalster9412 I can just imagine the chase scene where Singer is attacking in the forest!

@@josh2232Thanks for your input, Josh
When an agent is immediately granted leave and a D-class gets sent in, you know they saw some fuck up shit.
The change in tone of,
"Someone is sobbing" was spooky af. Nice work Doctor!
Can someone explain these breakaways to my dumb friend who didn't understand their purpose? Is it something to do with the SCP supposedly being possibly memetic?
@@MaelstromFilm I think the shift between “microphones” is supposed to signal the switch between perspectives/realities. For the line “Someone is sobbing.” it meant that someone in Control was sobbing, not S.O. Nix or anyone around Nix.
The breaks are not only physical, everything in this operation including the logs and the normal operation of things seems to be breaking down if you look again
@@brichess8227i believe that the researcher and 774 or whatever were the only ones unaffected. I hope the author continues this (as he had planned to)
Those parts were gay and pointless.
So is no one going to talk about how D-774 was shot and killed at 46:05 then re-enters the control room at 1:01:50?
Ikr
Yeah, that made me rewind and I shuddered when I heard it proper.
In the original text of the story, the middle '7' is superscripted in the line where D-774 comes back, making the name kind of...crooked.
This could either mean that D-774 was infected with the "crooked" bug, or the researchers writing the SCP file are.
@@mulattice3703 it also happens to another d-class in the original file (the name being crooked)
@@mulattice3703 Ngl seeing this comment about how the actual text of the file is made to look "crooked" after D774 returns low-key just lowkey kinda makes this hit different. The simplicity of the two phrases "makes it look kinda...crooked" and "enters the control room" , after supposedly being shot to death, is somewhat chilling.
Even though unsuccessful, I have mad respect for S.O. Nyx for refusing to leave her K-9 partner behind. Honestly, I wish more agents were so dogged in their pursuit of lost comrades.
please tell me the use of "dogged" was intentional
Bruh that part made me so sad, she tried so hard to get that good boi free from the monster
@@the_great_eli8644 A dog dies in this one? Say less, onto the next video I go

also why was the dog even sent in?

Sounds to me like our SCP enjoys making the town that saw him break on the wheel become broken like him, before dragging them off to a mirrored version of Tenby where he turns them into monstrosities like himself, who then inhabit the Bizarro Timby as "townsfolk". Or would the "Up Under" be more fitting?
Perhaps he was a terrible human being who made a pact with something sinister, who then managed to catch fish in massive abundance - creel having to do with fish in general, in this sense it would be a play on the usual meaning of a limit to what one can catch during fishing season, their quota..
In return, a child sacrifice was to be made as payment - or payment for something else, like what he became. Church broke him on the wheel, a torture device, for witchcraft. Just my wild imagination. Either it sees humans as malformed monstrosities who need "fixed", or he simply enjoys breaking and turning people into horrible monstrosities.
The fact they heal and aren't in pain shortly afterwards are rather curious - its either to keep them alive to make fleshy Frankenstein-esque monsters in a sinister sick pleasure way, or he thinks everyone should be that way and thinks he's doing good. Like the Plague Doctor kinda.
I'd like to imagine that this was in fact a "crooked child" stolen from someplace that's not here, trying to make its home look right and find someone to be with it. That's why they feel no pain from the contortions and mutations after a while, because it's not trying to hurt them.
@@deathpyre42 I like how the limbs mimic trees and snakes. Someones trying to make life akin to the actual world. Everything else is dead. There's even cars. Curious.
Hinger Wunibald, aka The Crooked Man, was clearly some kind of psychotic bastard with a penchant for witchcraft. We can assume that he killed the child and cooked it, eating it after. I doubt the accusation of "rape" was...the child, as that'd be kind of difficult to do, you know, mass, size and all. Wouldn't feel very nice, me thinks. Something tells me though he became a demon as per his deal should he die, and he torments this township out of a desire for revenge.
I doubt what he is doing to these people, is in any kind of intended "kindness." Moreso it's a form of mockery and "retributionary vindication." Did he deserve his fate? Probably. But he sure as fuck wasn't happy about it either lol.
What I got from it is that an evil fisherman (crooked also means bad/tainted and a fisherman would explain the creel) stole a baby and killed/ate it. And the town found him and broke him upon the wheel.
As far as I can tell it seems like the SCP can only control corpses. When Nix finds D-2172 on the wheel, the document describes it as his corpse. The bodies in the pit are also all dead. We can also see that when Nix gets her finger cut off, the SCP can control the severed finger, but it can't break her body directly. Though it does seem to have some amount of control over the victims that are paralyzed or braindead, as it can cause them to spasm in the same way as the corpses, but doesn't make them attack people.
The foot "staring" menacingly is simultaneously hilarious, disturbing, and will be stuck in my head for months

@@Blonde_Skunk Aww, thanks!
"It targets those that are indoors and alone after sunset"
By god, all the gamers are doomed!
You know, it always seems anytime a d-class is sent on an excursion, they end up dead (i know that's the point of d-class) but, like, in these logs where they find a monster, it's never "and they narrowly escape", it's almost always "they get dragged of to an unknown, presumably horrible fate." Or "they get bisected" or "mutated into zombies" or "torn to pieces" or "they have all their body cavities filled wiþ broken glass". I want some happy d-class endings
They die never deal with pain the end?
I can't remember the name, but in the anti gravity sand one, the D class gets promoted
You do realise that majority of them are life/death sentence prisoners bought out by Foundation right? Presumably, those whose punishment is just
I don't know why, but this video in particular has me realizing how weird and stressful being an agent or any other employee of the Foundation must be. Besides people like the GOC, the foundation is the only group that really tries to manage the anomalous. They do it with largely no supernatural assistance either besides for big projects or necessary missions.
With most other groups taking free advantage of anomalous objects; even if the SCP foundation makes exceptions, they are still defined as being more cautious than the rest of the SCP Groups of interest.
Honestly? That is probably the biggest point of confusion for me. Sure, I understand not using most of the stuff they have locked up because it is incredibly dangerous but the have a solid understanding of some of the stuff and could safely use it to their advantage. One that comes to mind was the child that could manipulate reality with no apparent limits. They had a solid means of control but chose to kill her instead.
@@Blasted2Oblivion I think it tends to go back to interaction of the anomalous object with other anomalous objects. If they were to use one anomaly they know well against another they don't, it could produce potentially even larger threats/disasters than the intial anomaly.
With the kid, while it seems cruel, it's probably due to the fact that it was a child. One fucked up or hasty thought could become disastrous. They have to learn emotional maturity and stability, but the brain only fully matures at like 22-23. Assuming the kid is even just 10, that's 12-13 years of managing her, making sure she doesn't literally destroy reality as we know it, and producing a well functioning healthy adult while living in containment. (I mean theoretically she could just reality bend her own age/maturity or even the limits of her own powers, but, hey, I'm not the author of the article.)
@@salemcrow5078 That seems to be the main risk with Reality Benders in general, imho. Everyone has a bad day, from the holiest of saints to the most horrible of sinners… But if a Reality Bender has a bad day, it could end the multiverse itself.
Imagine how unreal it would be to have all of this awesome body horror stuff illustrated by Junji Ito?
This man has been keeping chiropractors in business for decades
It just occurred to me - What if the camera distortion isn't making SCP-783? What if that distortion IS 783? And its being is what distorts stuff just by moving through it.
That might be the case but it would be quite a complex effect for such a simple anomaly, with only a spacial distortion I'd expect more cut of chunks being transferred a meter away etc. Something like creating portals through a solid object. Still, might be correct!
@@VulpineCortex What do you think then, it's just the hands pushing through to knock on the door?
Michael? The distortion? It’s more likely than you think.
@@zoeymokan6317 magnus archives mentioned. +respect.
But yeah this basically feels like a more horrifying, guttural and visceral version of the Spiral. A literal wave of distortion that tears through animate and inanimate matter alike, breaking and twisting but not destroying it. Even the Flesh episodes of Magnus Archives didn't get this grotesque.
S.O. Nix confirmed as one of the, if not the, most badass characters in SCP lore.

I wish so badly I had the artistic abilities to make my imagination come to life. It’s grotesque, but I quite like my vision of this SCP and would love to see a movie made from it
You could play LISA - The Painful. It more or less has mutants that resemble the crooked corpses to a T. There's even a moment where you're following a long trail of flesh, turn around, and there's a head dangling at eye level with you. Horrifying shit.
im confused becouse a youtuber made a video on games "similar to UNDERTALE" and he didn't get far into the game but portrayed LISA the painful as a somewhat comedic game like when u just walk past a dead guy without looking at him first and then he just screams "hey im not that dead yet" or something like that
SCP-783, if my information is correct, originally was a small cottage in Russia that caused violent mutations to ANY lifeform entering it. Most victims became stronger, lacked pain receptors, and can graft scavenged body parts onto themselves. Some became smarter with enhanced visual capabilities.
The addendums feature three short logs where the head researcher discovered the lab techs were making the mutated specimens fight each other for entertainment, and he plans to get new lab techs and expose the old ones to the anomaly in order to replenish the supply of specimens.
The object class was also Keter
When SCP was turned into a marketable brand by a handful of people who didn't write or create the vast majority of the entries they got rid of a ton of the original stories.
@@CavemanCrafts86 Pardon?
@@Lunar994 when they started selling SCP stuff and making the movies/books the people doing it just moderated one of the largest forums that collected the stories.

@@CavemanCrafts86 But what does it have to do with my comment?
@@Lunar994 It's relevant because it explains why some SCP logs and entries were changed, sometimes completely.
Really well written entry and masterfully crafted video. S.O. Nyx is a badass, the anomaly is an interesting one. I mean, aside from the nursery rhyme inspiration, certain other sources are evident (Attack on Titan,Blair Witch Project, various horror movies) but the tension is high throughout and there is a lot of human element in the story. As always, the incompetence of foundation personnel is mind boggling. You have a highly skilled operative in a potentially deadly mission, ffs leave someone in the control room at all times. Nope. That would get you demoted if you worked for EMS, in the foundation it's common practice apparently. Once again great video TheVolgun
You must not have been listening, the scp was active on the outside while they were exploring its dimension. the dr and d-class personnel were affected and were causing issues in the main town which is why the command center was not manned.
@@Dark_Lieutenant I got that, and you apparently think having just a skeleton crew of personnel on site while investigating another dimension with a higly skilled(and thus valuable) operative in the "danger zone", is a good idea. You always have reserves. The SCP was active in the town while the operative was raiding his "home", surprised pikachu face! That's exactly the kind of thing you should expect and account for. Who goes in another dimension, the home of an hostile and dangerous entity, with a "i dunno, yolo" mentality?
@@Eisenwulf666 the site was made temporarily upon discovery they acted with the knowledge and resources they had at their disposal at the time. without knowledge of what they were dealing with the prepared the logical amount of resources and personnel. they accounted for multiple buildings,hospitals,doctors,technicians,camera operaters etc what more did you want lmao they used everything they could think of and didnt go overboard because the threat was contained to the village they were stationed at the foundation operates globally and deals with much higher and encroaching threats then a self contained anomolous village. they had no reason to believe that past excursions would enable it to leave outside its active zone. nor any knowledge upon discovery that those who merely were touched by the infected would be infected as there was no precedence.
@@Dark_Lieutenant well, i mean, i get that and it's just a story, so whatever. It's just fun pointing out the phallacies of the Foundation. It also makes for more interesting stories if the threat isn't under control, honestly. So i get that. Also, like you said, they are "used" to world ending scenarios, so a weird village isn't their priority in that universe. This story in particular isn't so blatant too, tbf. There are others where you have to facepalm at their lack of precautions, like letting the weird sentient teddy bear roam free in a site or trying new,inventive ways to destroy SCP 682. Or being alone in a room with SCP 049...etc etc
@@Eisenwulf666 more importantly why would they send in a single operative in the first place? And sending the dog in was a liability tbh.

This SCP also gets especially interesting when paired with 3980, as many of the personnel in this story also show up there too. It would be kinda funny if all the field mission directors were getting migraines and had to be taken to medical not because of 783, but due to a concurrent, unrelated SCP event going on at the same time (more likely the two are connected in some way, if not the same thing somehow).
So for brevity 3980 seems to have been a cognitohazard event that, firstly, infected everyone on site with a memetic ‘death’ effect, i.e. everyone believes they are dead, even if that is not the case. Secondly, it *actually* killed everyone off site who was stationed at Locke as well, but these individuals have the reverse effect of being perceived as alive when actually dead. When someone learns of the true nature of the cognitohazard, they become infected as well.
Now, a lot of the cast of 783 make up the list of interviewees for 3980 (Director Kim, Researcher Bond, Private Awde, D class 774 and 209, etc.). Agent Collins, despite her central presence in the field logs, is oddly absent. This, to me at least, implies that the 3980 event took place while the research team was in Temby, as its the only time we have on record where they were all off site. Secondly, we see an instance where *at least* D-774 was showing behavior in line with 3980, where they were being treated as very much alive despite being killed earlier. Most of these individuals on site also received some kind of unspecified ‘treatment’, according to the logs.
Of course, none of this would explain why FOB Locke would have its own cognitohazard in play. And unfortunately I don’t have a great answer for this, beyond the Redacted MTF logs in 783 resulting in some site wide containment breach, requiring a scorched earth cleanup procedure. That doesn’t explain the cognitohazard effect seen in the interview logs for 3980, but perhaps its meant to be vague. The important thing is that the very dead bodies of individuals involved with 783 are being carted around various facilities while being free to interview despite their very real cognitohazardous state. In short, this is a facility breach waiting to happen.
And this is why you should be careful when using recursion while coding
There was a crooked man
And he walked a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence
Upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat
Which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together
In a crooked little house
whether or not the scp was related to the game in any manner, there's something nostalgic to old 2012-2014 youtube, being able to sit back and watch a pixel horror game back when markiplier just had a million subs on his belt, back when pewdiepie was the biggest youtuber we wanted to be and when vanoss and co. were just playing gmod prophunt
That game is inspired a traditional nursery rhyme.
This SCP is inspired by the same traditional nursery rhyme.
Man, I kept watching the time left in the video and I was terrified we wouldn't get a resolution. Wtf was up with the staff? Or that D class "entering the control room"? I'm so baffled. Awesome scp though.
on the site proper, their names become distorted in the text, so i believe the implication is there was an attack from these creatures on the surface as well. it would explain the need to go so hard on containing it at the end.
@@cognitiveAfflatus Makes sense given how it says 774 enters the control room minutes after being confirmed shot to death. Also, a D class personnel entered a control/command room and no one cared? Who is sobbing??
@@justanotheryoutubewatcher5330 ok but how about the "doctor escapes with assistance of the Dclass"
@@thesun5275 This whole thing is just so fucked up lol. It definitely adds to the creep factor. Things that definitely shouldn't be happening, or things that dont make sense at all. Masterfully crafted
Given SCP-783's relationship to twisting of reality and criminal justice, with the body at the heart of the anomaly being a man which in the text in implied to have been wrongfully punished, I think that foundation's choice to use convicts added additional variables that were not considered. I think D-2172 and D-774 became aspects of SCP-783's reach as they were convicts and seen as expendable and dehunamized, just as Hinger Wunibald was.
I know its based on an old tale, but this scp always makes me think of:
"This is my hole! It was made for me! DRR DRR DRR"
The enigma fault or something like that
@@matthewbailey1179 The Enigma of Amigara Fault by Junji Ito
RIP D-2172 and K9-121, as well as the S.O. What a fucking thrill-ride, dude. Absolutely massive props to the author on this one, truly a masterpiece.
The use of realistic medical photos really amps up the fear factor
I'm gonna be honest, I like the more grandiose projects like Kaktusverse and some of the 6k SCPs as mush as the next Joe, but man, do I miss this bone chilling tone of the first three ones. The logs are almost a horror movie script and I wold love to see something on that one day
I don’t get the impression that other people like the newer stuff, judging from the comments on some of these scp vids that aren’t world ending, people really hate those kind of scps:
Me being a contrarian here. Not a Fan of Kaktus or any of his stuff new or old particularly because it either A) relies way too heavily on referencing other articles on the wiki (1730 being the worst for it) or B) turns into nonsensical fantasy word-salad like into his newer entries regarding Project Paragon.
He has a few good pieces that I'm unclear on whether he just made edits to existing articles or if they're his own original works like SCP-2316 or 2399 but a majority is just really average writing that I don't think deserves to be eld in such high regard.
@@justcommoncurt oh i agree COMPLETELY, kaktus is NOT a good writer. his comedy stuff in particular is just.... so so bad. i read one of the drafts he had and, in it, he put the exposition dump in an absurdly unfunny transcript of a zoom call instead of??? the fucking???? scp article?????? dado is fine but tbh was utilized better by other authors. not to mention that the VAST majority of his political stuff is in WILDLY bad taste. politically i don't disagree w/ him but like, making a pithy skip about BLM as a white dude is NOT a good look my man. why don't you like. go protest
he relies on a singular gimmick that defines his work; if you like the gimmick then it's fine, but if you don't like the gimmick or it gets overused then the articles just get SO bad SO quickly. he's mid-tier at BEST
Just woke up from my first SCP nightmare, lol. I had the playlist with all your videos on when I fell asleep. It was a wild dream to say the least. I’ll try to retell it here while it’s still fresh:
I woke up in a small bedroom, connected to a singular and extremely long hallway that has various similar sized rooms connected to it. I think the goal, was to reach the very end of that hallway. It felt a lot like a game.
Walking around and passing each room, I could hear someone on an intercom discussing various SCP. As each were mentioned, they would appear. Some safe, some not.
I could see them, through glass windows to each room, eventually the Sculpture got me first and I woke back up immediately in the first room again. That one didn’t bother me, or cause me to wake from the nightmare but it made me very aware I was in one, lol.
So I kept playing the little game. Avoiding many of the SCP like a pro…that is, until the Plague Doctor of all SCP was mentioned. The moment I saw him, I made a mad dash down that hallway, panicking to reach the end for whatever reason, I just felt driven to get there. I did make it, after being chased down the hallway by what I imagined was every SCP out there. But at the end of the hallway, the Plague Doctor waited.
He slit my throat, and I woke up in that bed again. He was already waiting. He kept slashing away, I kept dying and reviving over and over and over.
I could feel it. It was weird, like little pulls on the hairs of my head, that was the strangest feeling I’ve felt from a dream in awhile. It wasn’t painful, it just felt…weird. Eventually it bothered me enough to actually wake me up in the real world again, and here I am now.
That bothered me. Not because of anything mentioned above at all, I rather enjoyed that little experience. It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten to have such a vivid dream let alone a lucid one.
What bothered me, is that I like the Plague Doctor. He was the first SCP I’d ever heard about, researched and to this day I still enjoy the random stories online about him. He was terrifying at first, years ago, but after so many stories I’ve come to view him as a misunderstood SCP who is of a pleasant nature and generally is just trying to help people.
But he was viscous, sadistic and relentless in my nightmare, and utterly terrifying. Waiting there in that room after he had gotten me the first time, in the end room where I thought it would end.
I know I missed a lot of details in between things, it’s already getting muddy, or foggy for me to recollect. The encounters and escaping the other various SCP’s, even getting help from some. It was a fantastic little experience, and I just wanted to share it.
Gonna resume the playlist and lay back down now, lol.
This was interesting to go in the mind of another and experience their dream
Before these dreams get foggy...might be worth writing as much down as you can remember....as more dreams abound....a new scp story could emerge 🤔
Lies
@@overland1178 why would you say that 🤷♀️...were you inside this persons head whilst they dreamt...quite often if you fall asleep whilst watching or listening to something it is then incorporated into your sleeping subconscious and subsequently played out in your sleeping mind in the form of a dream or nightmare....or are you just a wee little troll, getting bored just sitting under your wee little troll bridge all alone with nobody to scare so decided to do what trolls in modern days love to do.. doesn't it get just a little tedious 🥱
Very good as always. Only thing I couldn’t piece together myself is whatever was going on with Doctor Lafayette and D-774.
They both tried to help D-2172 out of the pit in log 1, only to then try and escape the town in log 2. D-774 was shot and killed during the capture of the doctor. Collins and Layfette return to the control room (not sure why he was allowed back in there). There’s two mentions of someone sobbing.
Then the last thing mentioned is that D-774 enters the control room.
I was also unclear on this, and will be looking for an explanation write up.
Yeah, I don't know if maybe there was a battle going on in the facility at the same time the exploring was going on. Why did Lafayette go to the cops? Why was the d class shot but not the dr? I'm so incredibly curious now. Who was sobbing????
Neat thing I noticed in the article: When he enters the room, D-774's number is written in a crooked way (the second 7 is a superscript so its higher up than the other numbers)
They do the same with D-209 when his arm gets crooked
@@awsomebot1
I was thinking that too at first, but isn’t the deal that the 783 victims are alive when they’re attacked, and they’re kept alive despite the malformations? This would be the only case where a victim is killed in an unrelated way, then brought back to life. Which I guess if that’s the whole point behind this, then that’s a neat way of showing the situation is getting worse.
@@awsomebot1 I also noticed that they do that with the agent who followed the lost researcher. When she goes on leave, the "i" in her name is superscripted.
The D2172 records make me think of what it must be like being a small ant being attacked by a gigantic spider.
From his twitter-
"Got some comments from people who are concerned that I haven't uploaded in a few weeks. I'm 100% fine, I just need a break sometimes. Almost weekly uploads for the entire year with no vacation time does catch up with you!
But I do appreciate the concern, thank you!"
When they read tenby,they went to the wales seaside town. All investigators were found in the locals pubs absolutely smashed on locally produced beer and having the time of thier lives mingling with the friendly locals.
Inspired me to look into how the Wheel was used. Apparently, several different methods, none gentle. Also learned that at least two skeleton remains of broken victims have been found, one of which was described by archaeologists as having "bones broken into over a thousand pieces".
This took a massive tonal shift around after the half way point, the stuff before the special operative was great i feel but it sort of becomes far different in tone and pacing after. It feels more like a story about an oc after a certain point
I have to say, relistening to this SCP: this would make for a fantastic short action horror movie. There's so many action chase sequences, I can just imagine the scene with the massive limbs crashing around a panicking D-class as they keep trying to escape
Wow this is by far my favorite scp you have covered. So well written (and an even better narration ;) Keep up the amazing work Volgun!
God damn, over 70+ minutes of SCP bliss by Volgun...🤯😁🤯😁🤯👍
Perfect timing! Always glad to see you on my feed. Even better when it's a long read
These in-detail SCP videos are not only great content, but that voice can put a man to sleep who just joined your membership and is my first one because you never disappoint. I can't wait for future videos
Always a good day when The Volgun updates.
Agreed. I thoroughly enjoy Dr. Miller's lectures.
This was unbelievably immersive. The logs were just works of art. The writing was a masterclass and created such an uncomfortable atmosphere. This was one your best videos in my opinion.
I come back to this one quite often; it spins such a crooked (pun intended!), freaky tale. Your reading of it is excellent as always, Volgun!
It's a huge video. I will need to relisten to it because i kept losing track of stuff but I enjoyed it immensely. Nicks is a dang darned hero!
*AUDIBLE WEEPING*
Special Operative Nix is a badass. K9 saved her life and she hacked at the leg to try and free him. Yelled and cursed and swore retribution once the leg fled with K9, and then basically told command to ef off while she goes after her K9. RIP brave souls.
Love the channel!
D-2172 looks so DONE with this. Poor guy.
Interesting. Never knew that the Crooked Man was entry in the wiki. Pretty cool that it is.
It’s not really an entry in the wiki - it was originally a nursery rhyme. There’s just a lot of stories that draw inspiration from it yknow? There’s even a pretty decent RPGMaker horror game (which coincidentally also draws inspiration from Silent Hill) based on the rhyme - fun facts!
@@wheremybike Lol I think what he means is that it's cool how the rhyme was turned into an entry- although obviously the rhyme in the article is different.
Fun fact, this SCP is mentioned on the original rhyme's wikipedia page.
@@awsomebot1 gotta take the opportunity to shill out the game yknow 😉
This is the type of scp that makes you pull your hair out from anger because it's a scp that causes such helplessness
Jesus, listening in a big dark room, in the middle of the night and I had to turn it off. Been a good long while since I was afraid of the dark. Well done, volgun, well done.
This one was particularly enthralling, maybe I like it so much because it involves body horror, and has similarities to The Flesh That Hates, perhaps. Out of many of the SCP stories, I think this one would serve well with more story and even visual renditions.
The flesh that hates was my introduction to SCP so the body horror ones will always be among my favorites
@@Powerkraut1 Dead Space is pretty much my favourite IP in existence, so I was in love with the flesh that hates. This channel is also beyond amazing at what it does, so it's hard not to be engrossed.
oh man, as much as I adore scp it's been a hot minute since one got to me like this, this thing is /horrifying/, amazing narration as always. poor nix, I can't blame her for chasing after the leg, also, the repetition of "someone is sobbing" was so good
It annoys me when the Foundation can easily send cheap drones, but chooses to send poorly equipped personnel one by one into dangerous situations with no backup or retrieval plan.
Who also make really bad choices.
Even the d class was acting smarter than the specialist here. Even down to equipment. Why take a shotgun and machete. Both of which will struggle with bones.
A long bladed hand ax maybe if the lady insists on no post 1890s weaponry when the foundation has access to anomalous flesh incinerating hand weaponry.
I do agree with the axe, but ammunition is the concern with something like a flamethrower in think. These things expand a lot and napalm and the like don't do great with bone.
But no one is acting reasonable.
My guess, after reading the article, is that maybe the iterations are actually conversions of the baseline temby, which is essentially a new iteration, just not pulled through the hole yet. Everyone acts wonky in this, with people coming back from the dead like SCP 209 who dies in the house and then pulls the longboy hand from the hole.
I think it has to do with being alone. Anyone who is alone at any point ends up with superscript in their name in the document, making it look crooked. People also vomit somewhat randomly and appear and leave for little to no reason.
To be fair I'm not sure how a drone would handle the gravity being inverted like that
If source spaghetti was made into a 3 dimensional entity, with time space altering powers. As always, the video is great.
This anomaly brought to you by Valve!
If there ever was an scp i wanted animated, it would be THIS ONE
I’d watch the heck out of a tv show covering the career of special agent Nix.
Dude you’ve been working so hard you’re due for a promotion. “Site Director Millar” has a nice ring to it don’t you think?
A promotion isn't all its cracked up to be. He might be happy doing what he is doing.
A better ring than Emmerson, methinks.
Talk about putting your best foot forward.
Man. Those short 10 minute animated videos really don’t do this SCP justice
Man, D-2172 deserved better.
And even just from a research point of view, I think that the research team should've prioritized higher the recovery of D-2172 as a communicative survivor of SCP-783 phenomena - an extremely valuable research asset that they otherwise still lack. Why, just for starters you'd get both a mission debriefing and a case study of the long-term effects of exposure.
Correction: Agent Collins is also a communicative survivor of the phenomena, albeit with lower exposure. So it may be interesting to study the longer-term effects on her.
What an awesomely written SCP. Props to the author on this one, the imagery and plot were fantastic!
I know source material is a limitation, but I love these long ones. They are perfect for a commute "podcast".
So a couple of things. One, they built their freaking base in town?! I hope the buddy system is mandatory .
It seems like everyone who is left alone, even briefly like the agent in the hole who is given leave and then is always there, the various doctors who lose their minds, and the d class who return from the dead, were just left alone for a while.
We dont have the whole story. Keep in mind thr incimeration of victims order, but we hear about surviving victims. Those two missing logs are being written, the author has said so i believe.
Cant wait for this finale so i can stop being confused.
this was my first time hearing this particular SCP and it blew me away! it's so good. great storytelling/narration from Volgun, as always. this one is up there with my very favorites like Red Sea Object and Lamplight.
27:50 at this point I would be running as fast as I can. There is no better option.
49:56 I see where this is going. Get The Hell Out Of There Now Nix.
A nice touch on these is the final wrap-up of unresolved SCPs like this on is often having a hint of frustration in the presenter's voice, soinding almost apologetic to have brought such an unpleasant to attention.
The sweet satisfaction of a 1 hr Volgun video, follows by some Exploring series- my Sunday/ Monday night is all set.
Nothing i love more in the morning then seeing TheVolgun post a long video to keep me occupied at work! Thank you guys
The line " D-774 enters the control room" really freaked me out. They brought back his remains a couple minutes prior...
I love the long adaptations, thank you so much for the huge effort it must take to make them.
14:40 and someone walks by.
"Whatcha watching there?"
Lost asset my ass! Your damn right you chase after the dog!
This and Dr. Bob are the best for the crooked man. This one especially for the exploration logs.
This is, excuse me, a damn fine bit of body horror.
I went to a football game today. There were 100000 people there. I forgot what that looks like. How does it feel to know that this video was watched by 2.5 football stadiums worth of people?
"It targets those that are indoors and alone after sunset"
Me: *chuckles* im in danger
This is wild and truly terrifying. What an excellent SCP. So are the people who are in the town and affected by this SCP still alive after this process begins? Truly an awful existence….
I literally audibly gasped when I saw the thumbnail for this pop up in my recommendations, because it's legit one of my fave SCPs just because of how downright eerie and horrifying it is. I don't think I've heard everything there is to know about it though, so I'm super excited.
Edit: Okay so I just spent ten minutes or so looking up where IRL Tenby was - which is in Wales, which is why I spent so long looking it up after hearing it being placed in England because 'Surely my geography/memory isn't that god awful, is it?'... Only to come back realise it's TEMBY, and wanted to facepalm through my own skull. XD Auditory/logical processing at its worst, folks. 😅
Even a year later this is still one of the scariest SCPs I've ever heard. :/
Just found your channel and I must say that I’m obsessed.
This one was incredibly well-written. Props on your style of narration. It fits this type of video perfectly.
One of my favorites, awesome to see you cover it!
The best scips are based off of some random real life thing, like here with "the crooked man" or SCP-469, a horror based on the whimsical quip "every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings".
Jfc, how could the Foundation keep these poor people alive? Also, it's amazing that something this horrific can spawn from that old nursery rhyme "the crooked man".
The anomaly seems to take special care to not cause injury to the surrounding tissues, meaning no punctures or lacerations of organs, muscles or blood vessels. And the broken bones grow together immediately, preventing inflammation.
In short, killing the victim isn‘t nearly as much fun as seeing them suffer for the rest of their life. 🤷♀️
Fell asleep with this video playing and woke up feeling sore as hell in a Very Uncomfortable Position I hardly ever fall asleep in
You've outdone yourself on the renders this time! The thumbnail gave me a visceral reaction.
