Hi! Not one to comment too often, but I'm the author of 5007 and just wanted to thank you for reading my SCP and making this amazing video! It means the world to me and has absolutely made my day! For anyone interested in trivia, I based this off numerous real life events like the disappearance of Harold Holt, the Vanishing of Fred Valentich, the weirdly high number of ufo sightings and odd disappearances in the areas. Did you know we lost 14 fight planes there during training runs in ww2? I've lived and surfed in the bass strait pretty much my whole life and have wanted to make something special for it. Originally I was going to incorporate a few other real life disappearances into this, but in the end I decided that in those cases it might have been a little disrespectful to the people and families involved.
This is well done. Thank you for the story, @Balth. May you have many more created SCPs in the future. @The Exploring Series Thank you for another wonderfully scary reading. I now have a strong excuse to NOT eat baby octopi and squids.
The entity claimed that it wanted to see everything. We gave it provisional access to 4chan without the ability to post to the board. The Foundation received a single communique three hours after containment protocol was enacted, stating that "It had seen enough." Seismic activity then occurred, completely sealing off the entrance to the submerged chasm. Neutralization deemed successful.
In a twist ending "The SCP after being introduced to 4chan began demanding access to rule34 material, so it can get it's 'yiff' on sir" O-5 Council".......all in favor of immediate termination of subject? Good the motion is unanimous!"
20:00 - If anyone's curious, this IS what the actual dude's last transmission was. "It's not an aircraft", then nothing, spooky shit. Love when IRL stuff like this is incorporated into these.
Not to be confused with SCP 5007-J: The _Bass_ Strait. A part of the ocean a bit west of SCP-5007 whose only anomalous quality is that one can hear faint bass playing when passing through the strait, generally described as "especially funky." _(Also: Perfect, I was just going to have lunch._ _Bless you and your excellent timing)_
@@kalebmitchell22 Had to look that one up I'm afraid, not quite British enough to ever have heard of it. From what I can see I think you've hit the nail on the head with that theory though. I subscribe to it.
Also not to be confused with SCP 5007-B, the *Base* Strait, while only anomalous property is the hundreds of strategic military bases inexplicably covering the seafloor.
I really dig how the author included minor, people-eating ocean scps in the area around 5007; little anomalous ecosystems would pop up around major shit like this
I love when SCP's incorporate real world events into its narrative, it really adds another layer to the grounding and depth of the universe. Especially mysteries, like the disappearance of Harold Holt.
Curse here, Curse there. Curse for he and she, why care? A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea, source of all greatness, all things that be. Listen for the baneful chants. Weep with them, as one in trance. And weep with us, oh, weep with us.
The appearance of Harry Holt in the pit is especially unusual, due to the fact that the Foundation has no less than thirty-four seperate versions of the former Prime Minister collectively designated SCP-3477, making this in fact the *thirty-fifth* known instance of Harry Holt.
If I had a nickle for every SCP that was an aquatic creature that can infect humans with itself and forcefully merge and mutilate their bodies into a state of unending, concious, fleshy suffering, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't much but its VERY WEIRD that it happened twice right?
1:38 '5007 instances are capable of passive flight by producing enormous quantities of gases in their stomachs' That ain't fair, I produce lots of gas in my stomach but I can't fly
I know this is wishful thinking, but honestly, I want this, and a whole bunch of other scps, to be made into horror/suspense movies. I absolutely love the scp universe.
@@Evelyn-pl3we I think it should be something in the vein of the X Files. I had thought of a story revolving an FBI agent transfered to the Unusual Incident units, that could be our entrance into the SCP world, with some appearences of the SCP foundation in the background as the ultra secret organization it is. For a plot progression maybe at some point the main character or characters could be recruited into the SCP Foundation and then introduce the GOC, the Sarkics or the Chaos Insurgence as antagonist, and one of the big event SCPs as a grand finale. A man can dream... a man can dream
Yes. Thank you for reminding me to always be grateful for the treasures people give us, and also very importantly, how we must also express our gratitude to those who bestow such wondrous gifts upon us!
@@aliveandwellinisrael2507 True, we humans are creatures of habits! Tes' videos are such highlights in our weeks that when the time approaches, our subconscious mind has already been craving in anticipation for the next upload! And it never disappoints (except that one time with the "good Daevites woke retcon" article, but it still was masterfully delivered)!!!
The Bass Strait (IRL) is one location in Australia near which some Missing 411 -style disappearances have happened. Weird place. Usually that would make it stand out as a place to avoid, but... it's Australia, where a huge amount of the country is inhospitable desert and also where you can just go into your backyard and be killed by venomous animals or get blown up by an exploding eucalyptus tree, so "place to avoid" kind of applies to the entire country. Also, "Melbourne" is pronounced "mel-bin"
Thank you for exploring non "mythos" SCPs as well. As much as I do love the Broken God, Sarkists, Daevites etc., these straight up weird SCPs are some of the best.
Honestly, these are superior. Too often, the canon of the "mythos" SCPs just gets in the way of the stories. Plus, they immediately let you know what to expect, to a degree. They prime your understanding of the rest of the story even before reading a single sentence, as long as you know a story to belong to a certain SCP "mythos". I prefer things that stand alone.
Ah, a good ol' body horror/gore entry, with some redacted sections and that huge threat sitting at the proverbial doorstep. Feels like a throw back to the 2000 series
Why send those prudes when you could send the finest swordsman in the Imperium, I, Cato Sicarious, Master of the Watch, Knight Champion of Macaragge, High Suzerain of Ultramar, Commander of the Victrix Honour Guard, Grand Duke of Talassar, and All Around Great Guy, speak, of course, of myself. For I, Cato Sicarious, Coach to the Custodes, Potential Primarch, and Favoured Son of the God-Emperor Himself, have defeated the mighty Magnus the Red in single combat, bested a shard of the foul Xenos Abomination, known as a C'tan Shard of the monstrous Nightbringer, and penned the Codex Sicarious. Truly I, Cato Sicarious, Ward's Chosen, am the greatest hope of the Imperium. Point me in the direction of this foul Warpspawn and I, Cato Sicarious, the Ultra in Ultramarine, will sail full speed with Gellar Field's down and sword at the ready!
This SCP reminds me of Father from the Animorph series, a being so large that it covered an entire ocean moon. Father technically has no mind on its own, but it can use its tentacles to capture alien ships unfortunate enough to come near the ocean surface. It then "connect" the dead bodies of whatever aliens inside that ship to its body, absorb their consciousness to form Father's mind, kinda like copying files to a blank folder. The victims are dead but their copied minds live on and can be "revived" anytime for Father's own entertainment.
Side note, I think that “planet wide eldritch psychic kelp monster” stuck with me because there was this “Are You Afraid of the Dark” episode with like a Red Sea weed monster that dragged kids to the bottom of bodies of water? Even pools if I remember correctly? I don’t remember much else, but whenever I went swimming when I was young and felt a brush of something against my leg I would freak out in my head because of that book and that episode.
184 SCP videos in and going strong. This is a stupendous undertaking. I have been listening since your SCP intro video. I rarely leave comments. Just wanted to say I appreciate the hard work you put in all these videos.
I have to say, as an Aussie myself, the Bass Strait is the last thing I would think of being an SCP in this country. There are so many other strange stories and occurences here.
This is some impressive body horror. The substance that keeps you alive no matter how badly mutilated or mutated you are... that's some living hell stuff right there.
@@ilovehelldivers5317 yeah actually this one in particular i fell asleep while watching it and had one hell of a dream about it, but it was pretty cool so
@@justinbrown9901 im not sure, I just find his voice nice and calming, and he gives enough details that I don't have to watch and I can just listen and picture it all In my head, while weirdly enough, puts me to sleep really easily and I normally get really good sleep from it also.
Some of this stuff has to be a reference to Gemini Home Entertainment. The 'found you!', all devouring entities represented by an eye, a cavern reaching lower than anything we know ab. I absolutely love it, how they can homage to other projects
There's also at least one more SCP based on this (SCP-3477). It was actually the SCP that introduced me to SCP, as someone made a joke about it in relation to a historymeme related to the disappearance of Harold Holt.
Please never stop making these videos. I’ve struggled sleeping for years and these are the only thing I can consistently turn on and immediately fall asleep, they are so good.
Its not often that one of these stories will get to me, these days. That line though- *"Found you."* gave me a genuine case of the willies 😱 Great video, as always 👍
Oh man this was actually a really good SCP! I like the heavy narrative ones but it’s always nice to hear one that is several genres/themes of horror stories. The redactions and the unanswered questions actually fit and don’t feel overdone or forced. Definitely a great 5000+ series SCP in that it has a good story but also is incredibly creepy.
Fun fact: the Valentich disappearance is real and actually happened like in the transcript, right down to the phrase “It is hovering and it’s not an aircraft” and the metallic scraping noise. Sweet dreams!
I guess this was recommended to me because I live in Tasmania, this is a surprise but a welcome one! Incase anyone is interested, it's the main way for Tasmanians to get to the mainland and vice versa so it's well-traversed. There have been a couple of disappearances over the bass straight but nothing out of the ordinary despite what conspiracy theorists may say, interestingly one of the most notable cases was a small Cessna pilot who was a UFO conspiracist who went missing. An unidentified Cessna was seen landing the day of his disappearance so the general explanation is that he faked it to rile up some attention.
SCP-5007 kind of reminds me of an insect colony with the flying creatures being the hunter/gatherers to make food and more of it's own kind, SCP-5007-A and -B is the hive where they live in and SCP-5007-C would be the Queen.
That mention of "inflation" from SCP-3999 might be part of the same fetish that inspired these "aliens". A tentacle covered with eyes that constantly speaks of "seeing" is a neat concept, but having it involve people whose stomachs balloon out with flotation gas was a bit much IMO.
This one is not a tale to an almost shocking degree. If you told me this was actually released in the 2k line I would have believed you. Pleasantly surprised.
Have the biggest grin right now, this place is almost on my doorstep. And my Mum is from Tasmania, and they're all a bit…different the mob from Tassie.
There is a ferry that goes through the bass strait triangle. No one uses it. Not because it is a facade by the Foundation or because it is haunted. It’s because no one from the mainland likes or wants to go to Tasmania
