For those who don’t know, the SCP Foundation is a collaborative online project, posting a sort of organization who’s duty it is to collect, study, and contain supernatural, alien, and/or dangerous phenomena. Some of the entries are silly, some are dumb, and some are pure unleaded Nightmare Fuel. [SCP-1382](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1382): A downed airliner now beneath the waves of Lake Michigan… with the passengers on board trapped in some kind of horrible temporal loop. [SCP-1351](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1351): A cave which doesn’t seem to obey the laws of gravity, space, or time. [SCP-1875](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1875): The only one so scary that I can’t bring myself to read it all the way through twice. A chess computer powered by the souls of two little girls. ---

That is some messed up shit right there. Is the whole site like that? The attempts to redact dates is funny. ---

I’ve come across a few of these at 4chan, but never with any explanation, so this is the first time I’ve read one with any sort of clue as to what they’re supposed to be. Creepy, yes, although I found the crashed plane one far more effective than the chess computer. **Ike** - I think so. Although IIRC all the ones I’ve read before today were monsterly entries rather than situational ones, and well-illustrated; none were as good as these three that **Mississippienne** has curated, however. ---

Yeah it seems like it is some X-Files fan submissions or something. ---

[SCP 093](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-093) is creepy, and very imaginative fiction. ---

[I nominate the three-dozen plus entries I wrote.](http://scp-wiki.net/smapti-s-personnel-file) But especially SCP-1529 (the monster on top of Mt. Everest), SCP-1165 (the world’s minus level) and SCP-1520 (the mummy). ---

I read the Everest one before when you’d linked to it; having read **Into Thin Air** before it really felt quite similar and damned possible, even. One of the worst (as in nightmare fuel) ones I found on the site was something about IIRC aquatic organisms that get into a diver’s suit. Predictably bad results happen but the separate confidential memo by one of the divers at the end makes it so, so, so much worse. (And as much as I hate using the word considering its online overuse generally, kind of traumatically “triggering” too.) ---

There was one I read a long time ago which I thought was pretty good, involving giant sort-of-humanoid creatures crawling around mindlessly absorbing people in a parallel dimension which was technologically advanced in comparison to ours but ruled by some kind of theocracy. (But there were no people left–the entry was about a team exploring the world these people had left behind). Ringing any bells? ---

I think this was the first one I read: [SCP 701](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-701), “The Hanged King’s Tragedy.” ---

I only intended to read the ones you recommended, but ended up going through all of your original SCPs. Particularly enjoyed the [Cockney horse](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1156), the [meat blob](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1361), the [reincarnator](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1790), the [hi-tech ants](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1942), and the [war hero](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1588). ---

I remember when I stumbled across it a couple of years ago, I spent pretty much the entire weekend reading one entry after another. 🙂 Funnily enough, I don’t remember how I heard about it. Maybe Smapti posted about it on the SDMB. Or maybe I heard about it from [here](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-055). ---
