* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2718 SCP-2718]]. There's a lot of terrifying anomalies in the [=SCP=] universe, many of whom are capable of ending the world in their own ways. For the most part, the Foundation is able to contain them or at least find a way to prevent the most dangerous of them from harming anyone. That's not the case with SCP-2718. It's something completely unstoppable, will eventually affect every single person on the planet, and not even the Foundation fully understands it. [[spoiler: It's death. More specifically, what happens to people after they die. While the Foundation has many ways of bringing people back, they don't really have any method of examining the mind of someone after they die. Or at least they didn't until they resurrected Roger Sheldon, formerly O5-11, using a new procedure. Roger had died of a stroke eighteen years earlier on Española Island, his corpse being reduced to almost nothing but a mess of bones. After scrounging up as much of him as they could, they were able to replicate him on the quantum level in order find out what he had learned. There was no heaven or hell. Instead, he described [[AndIMustScream being aware of everything after his death, unable to move from where he fell as his body slowly decayed. A feeling that continued even after his nerves were long gone and everything that used to be him was slowly pulled apart, trapped in a state of utter isolation and pain which a mortal brain is too small to comprehend]]]]. This is the fate that awaits ''everyone.''
** [[spoiler: Oh, and after Roger tells the O5 council about this? All of them have amnestics administered to themselves, SCP-2718 is designated a keter-class cognitohazard where so much as ''reading its description'' is designated a containment breach, and Roger is returned to his FateWorseThanDeath. It's just too much for any of them to know]].

This is the fate that awaits everyone.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2000 SCP-2000]]. Right from the get go, you know this is something big when you see they've got an cognitohazard safeguard, just like the SCP-001 page. Then you see its classification:[[spoiler:[[MeaningfulName Thaumiel]]. Essentially, it is a huge facility capable of cloning the entirety of the human race in the event of an end-of-the-world scenario, able to set the culture and civilization of mankind to any time period chosen, with politically important figures copied exactly to get the world running back on track. It is an enormous ResetButton.]] The scary part is [[spoiler:it has already been pressed who knows how many times. A corpse found in it is dated back 450-700 years, and a letter accompanying it indicates that it was around long before then. Attached notes also indicate that we've still screwed it up by rewinding too far before its repopulation began, which ended up causing WorldWarII. One note even says that they will not try reducing humanity's violent and sociopathic tendencies, ''because they already did,'' ''[[HumansAreBastards successfully.]]'']]
** If this sounds familiar, it's because [[spoiler:this is likely the origin of the "Document Recovered From the Marianas Trench"]].
** And another thing. [[spoiler:That corpse? It's Doctor Clef's. Yes, the doctor's walking around fine, and has absolutely no idea why there's a centuries-old corpse that matches his DNA, and yet there it is, with a note marking that even he, and then, had absolutely no idea when, and for what, they built the facility.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2003 SCP-2003]] is a straight-up time machine used by the Foundation to find out about possible futures and guide humanity onto the correct path. The method used is pretty horrific in itself (only brain and nervous tissue survives time travel intact, so travellers must be 'prepared' suitably) but that's not the scary part. There's a memo explaining that the Foundation is using all its resources to try to keep the timeline on-course for a particular future designated XN. What happens in scenario XN? [[spoiler: In 2349, an asteroid hits the Earth, wiping out most of humanity and rendering the planet uninhabitable]]. Of all the possible futures the Foundation has encountered, ''this is the best outcome''.
** The real kicker? It IS the best outcome, in the sense that its the only one the Foundation has observed where humanity survives the first century of the 2000's. In ALL other timelines so far observed, total extinction occurs anywhere between 10 to 50 years from present day from a wide variety of causes, from our Sun spontaneously transforming into a black hole which not only freezes our solar system but somehow leaves all of humanity in a state of suspended animation, to all life on Earth mysteriously disappearing overnight after a period of extended world peace, to a breed of mind controlling spider taking over 85% of the population and forces them to breed more of them, which eventually leads to the death of 6 billion.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2089 SCP-2089]]. Reading this SCP '''seriously''' changes the way you see the terms "internet hate machine". Case in point: the anomaly is associated with a random guy's blog on the Internet, typically held in a Q&A format not unlike Reddit [=AMAs=]. The anomaly in question? Nothing much, except anyone who regularly follows John's content gets stricken with a HatePlague just like 053's. The twist? "In 48% of recorded videos, SCP-2089-1 (John) will attempt to commit suicide, with only 11% of those attempts being successful." Who encourages him to do so? ''The aforementioned followers.'' The Hate Plague influences them to start making anti-John content, from simple negative comments to a case of a D-class writing a poem named [[PrecisionFStrike "Fuck]] John" ''with his own blood''.
** Here are some fun comments:
-->'''Item''': SCP-2089-I-374
-->'''Date Posted''': 06/14/20██
--> '''Description''': A video recorded by SCP-2089-1 featuring itself using a circular saw to cut off its left arm. SCP-2089-1 proceeds to hold its severed limb with its remaining arm and waves towards the camera. This continues for 33 seconds until SCP-2089-1 passes out, presumably from blood loss.
-->'''Notable Comments''': [=MrBRASIL=]: What kind of idiot uses a circular saw?
** Don't forget that every time John posts a video of him failing to or successfully commit suicide, there's always a video posted the next time showing him ''without any injuries he sustained in the previous video''. What's causing him to come back alive and well the next day? Well, take a look at Addendum 2089-03, [[spoiler: a video of another one of his suicide attempts. Unlike his other suicide videos, he's wearing a mask instead of his hoodie and he's responding to [[AmbiguouslyHuman an unidentified male figure]] who may or may not be his superior. The figure hands John a noose and John walks up to a chair placed underneath a fan and hangs himself, only for the fan to break off and crash on him. The figure pulls the fan off and takes a picture of John (who's revealed to have a [[{{Squick}} severe skull fracture on the back of his head]] and is [[BloodFromTheMouth coughing up blood]]) and places him on the chair before pushing the chair toward the camera. The figure then says that "John is an entertainer. You followers expect [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]], [[RapeAsDrama rape]], [[GroinAttack castration]], [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]]. And John gives you exactly that. Isn't that right, John?" And John nods in the affirmative. The figure then reveals that they keep him alive because "a dead entertainer isn't an entertainer at all", and "demonstrates" by ''whacking John's skull fracture wound with a blunt object, opening the wound and revealing the brain''. And John is ''still alive after all that''. And the video? It's addressed to [=MrBRASIL=], one of John's followers. The figure declares that "[[FateWorseThanDeath [John] belongs to him]]"]]. And take a look at the comments posted in response to the video:

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2151 SCP-2151]] is a pair of rings that fuse the two people wearing them together, in a process that's described with [[BodyHorror marvelous detail]]. [[FridgeHorror And then there's the addendum, explaining the circumstances of the object's retrieval]].
** For those wondering, the addendum implies that the rings were made by a StalkerWithACrush who wanted his ([[PsychoLesbian or maybe her?]]) "sweet Monica" (a teenage girl) to be "with him forever"...[[{{Yandere}} whether she wants to be or not]]. Did we mention that this "admirer" was [[{{Ephebophile}} fifty years old]] and implicitly ''[[VillainousIncest related to her?]]''

[[spoiler:The O5-restricted entry reveals that, while the description of the world beyond the door and the imprisoned entity are accurate, the rest of the entry is a '''complete lie.''' The SCP? Not the portal, but the entity imprisoned beyond it itself, a creature referred to as "the Devourer of Worlds". Its true object class designation? '''Apollyon.''' The meaning of that? ''The Foundation is utterly powerless to do anything about it.'' The containment procedures? "Irrelevant." While the Foundation is desperately trying to find a way to contain the Devourer when it inevitably breaks free sometime within the next century, at the moment they're at a loss to either repair or replace the broken chains or prevent the last one from breaking. All the hoo-ha and fuss about "Procedure 220-Calabasas" earlier in the document? A ''smokescreen'' the O5s have implemented to prevent panic by convincing people that they're achieving something meaningful. In short? ''We're effectively doomed and the SCP Foundation can't save us!'']]
** This raises a [[ParanoiaFuel terrifying possibility]]: [[spoiler:what if the containment procedures for some other [=SCPs=] are lies too? What if 231-7, for example, ''will'' give birth to whatever it is inside her eventually and Procedure 110-Montauk is just a cruel facade under the guise of [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremism]]?]]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2740 SCP-2740]] is probably one of the most disturbing examples of NothingIsScarier and UnreliableNarrator on the entire website. SCP-2740 is a strange entity believed to be residing in the attic of a Lee residence. According to the description and containment procedure, it is not known if the entity even exists, but the anomalous properties stem from how those who live in and around residence insist that it exists. What really sells the creep factor on this SCP is that attempting to enter the attic fails, not because the SCP blocks passage or puts up some sort of barrier but because person who attempts to enter just ''gives up'' or are unable to carry one up the ladder. Essentially, people who do so end up "waking up" at some point in the house, almost as though they had woken up from a day dream, though some individuals such as the wife insist they have entered the attic even when evidence says otherwise. Oh, and ignoring the entity won't help, as it gives off some sort of dread that gnaws at the psyche of the residence of the home. The husband of the house for example claims that whenever he tried to enter the attic to confront the entity, he would simply find himself unable to go up the ladder, to his irritation. Because of this phenomena, the foundation can't properly contain the entity, as personnel will simply believe they entered the attic when in reality they didn't. Even unmanned expeditions don't work, because they're really never conducted!
--> ...several attempts were made to penetrate the attic, both manned and unmanned. In all cases, further investigation revealed that no attempts were actually made, regardless of the claims made by involved personnel stating otherwise.
** These attempts may have included direct access through the second floor attic ladder, shaped charges situated at various points on the second floor ceiling, drone access through the ladder opening, manned and unmanned access by cutting through the roof, and complete leveling of the home. As stated above, no records exist that any of these methods were actually attempted.
** Oh, and the Lee family [[spoiler: [[AndIMustScream can't leave their home.]] Whenever they try to move away, the effects that manifest when they try to enter the attic happen when they try to exit the house. They are trapped in a house with an entity that may or may not even exist.]]
** Even more bizarrely, they interview Olivia Lee, the daughter of the family that's constantly alluded to, and she's apparently changed her name to Rebecca Feldman. But, by the end, [[spoiler:investigation reveals that Olivia doesn't exist. If so... what ''was'' Olivia? How did the Foundation interview Rebecca Feldman? Have they interviewed her at all? If they did... [[NothingIsScarier What happened?]]]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2852 SCP-2852]] takes the concept of a long lost relative or [[CreepyUncle creepy uncle/cousin]] and somehow makes it even more disturbing. The SCP is essentially a figure known only as "Cousin Johnny", who manifests at random family get-togethers such as Catholic masses, funerals, weddings and child baptisms. Whenever "Cousin Johnny" appears at one of these get-togethers, the events of said get-together become morbid, disgusting and violent and even possess dangerous consequences for the attendees later in life. Said events include [[{{Squick}} allowing the bride and groom at weddings to smash each others teeth in who then proceed to feed each other the teeth, having a baptized infant's skin molt off which is then fed to its grandparents, and participants at funerals slitting their wrists over the open coffin while "Cousin Johnny" vomits dead bugs into it]]. During [[FromBadToWorse Black Level]] gatherings (which normally happen during funerals), The Foundation has no way of stopping said events from transpiring, only [[ForcedToWatch watching it from beginning to end]] with no way of preventing "Cousin Johnny" from spawning. What makes the whole thing scary is that no one who willingly attends these gatherings finds any of the events out of place, and treat "Cousin Johnny" as a welcomed family member. On top of that, reading the effects of each event level reveals that this thing has most likely killed or maimed ''thousands'' of people.
** "Cousin Johnny" and the events surrounding him?/it? are all ultimately related to cicadas somehow. Children baptized in Blue Level events "molt" and later exhibit violent behavior and PTSD-like symptoms when they hear cicada cries, the groom produces a cicada call instead of vows and the couple is later presented 13 dead cicadas by "Johnny" himself in White Level events, and Black Level events have "Cousin Johnny"'s eulogy devolve into cicada song eventually, along with the aforementioned vomiting of cicada corpses. Why this is so is unknown, but it certainly won't help people who dislike the bugs to begin with sleep any easier.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2998 SCP-2998]]. Like SCP-2317, the article is broken up into multiple revised versions. SCP-2998 is a radio signal whose source is unknown, but has been picked up from all over the Solar System. It was thought to just be strange but harmless white noise until technology to decode it was developed in 2011. The signal contains a video transmission of a humanoid alien floating in a dark room, making sounds and gestures like it's in physical distress. No context is provided. Later iterations reveal humans born with a rare nerve cluster in their Temporal lobe can decode the signal, with some side effects, and have discovered what the video is: [[spoiler: a criminal named Ruhar being punished by an all-powerful ruler named Adidal for killing a member of the latter's family, [[AndIMustScream doomed to be kept alive and suffer on public broadcast until the universe grows dark]].]]
** Another iteration reveals that on 11/09/14, all Rosetta Cluster D-class personnel exposed to SCP-2998 experienced seizures, while the alien in the video fell unconscious and the transmission ended. After months of inactivity, SCP-2998 was considered neutralized. [[BlatantLies Problem solved, right?]] [[spoiler: Nope! In December 2016, an alien fleet approaches the Earth and begins transmitting a new form of SCP-2998 on all radio, TV, and satellite signals. Anyone who hears it falls under Adidal's control. The Foundation responds to this with Operation Blackout, destroying all global communications infrastructures and killing everyone affected. When interviewing a captured subject affected by the signal, they claim that Ruhar has disappeared and now they're looking for him, and reveal that the "aliens" are in fact ''[[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm living ideas]]''. A later iteration implies that Ruhar may have [[GrandTheftMe taken control]] of a [[OhCrap high-ranking member of the Foundation]], and the remnants of the Foundation AfterTheEnd are eventually forced to '''combine SCP-579 with SCP-055''' to reset the universe.]]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2706 SCP-2706]] is a forest of oak trees. Each of these oak trees have around 3-10 growth on them thatt periodically produce an animal. These include humans..humans that have been dead as well as extinct animals. While this is interesting it doesn't explain why it's classified as Keter. The article then goes on to explain that after a period of inactivity, there was an incident of instances of a redacted SCP emerging from the growths, forcing the patrol there to engage in a firefight that ended up with 17% of the forest being destroyed. This comes to the conclusion that the longer the growths remain, the more dangerous the things that emerge...and there's an unhatched growth that's been there ever since the foundation found the SCP...and whatever is inside it, it's highly radioactive.

* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2872 SCP-2872]] is a horse that runs in circles at speeds high enough to smash through anything in its path. Seems like standard SCP material, right? Until you read that sometime after 2010, it launched from its containment cell fast enough to cause injuries in the triple digits and achieve orbital escape velocity toward the constellation Equuleus. At the time of the entry's writing, [[OhCrap it's slowing down.]] [[EarthShatteringKaboom And it's turning around.]]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2030 SCP-2030]] is a television series which consists of prank videos that spontaneously appears on streaming sites (and before the emergence of such sites, on stores as DVDs and VHS). First, there's the fact that all the people seen in the audience or in the prank segments disappeared or died during the year the episode is released. Mysterious, but a bit tame. The real kicker, though, is that the pranks are [[SurrealHorror supernatural, horrifying, disturbing and are complete mindfuck-fests.]] The most bizarre part is that, no matter how horrible and vomit-inducing the pranks are, the victims will laugh them off as soon as the show's host will reveal himself.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2740 SCP-2740]] is probably one of the most disturbing examples of NothingIsScarier on the entire website.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2950 SCP-2950]] is referred to explicitly as "Just A Chair", with no real harmful side effects except the fact it is so comfortable, force must be used to remove from the chair any person that sits on it longer than half an hour to an hour. It is classed as a "safe" object. Kind of creepy that a simple chair could mess with your head like that, right? [[spoiler:Then you read the addendum, intended for ''a single O5 only'', which reveals that they ''want'' people to think 2950 is a "safe" object. It's actually a Keter-class object that is capable of bringing about an [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt XK-class scenario]]. It is "undefinable", only defined by what people think it is. If the Foundation can convince people it's just a relatively harmless chair with a creepy effect on people, that is what it will be. The problem is, there's a book written about 2950 saying it's a world-ending monster, that appeared in TheWanderersLibrary, leading everyone, even the Foundation, to believe that was what it was - it was even contained as its "monster form" for a long time. The Foundation had to communicate with the Serpent's Hand to be convinced it was in fact an "undefined" object that is only what people choose to define it as. The most disturbing part, of course, is that this means someone defined 2950 as a world-ending monster ''on purpose'', possibly just ForTheEvulz, and word must never get out that it is anything more than Just A Chair]].

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2521 SCP-2521]] is a creature who steals every piece of information about itself, as long as the information is expressed in textual or verbal form. Because of that, everything about it is registered by ideograms and pics. Did we mention that people reading its report out loud counts as "things that can be stolen" by this monster? And that the monster is impossible to contain?

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2000 SCP-2000]]. Right from the get go, you know this is something big when you see they've got an cognitohazard safeguard, just like the SCP-001 page. Then you see its classification:[[spoiler: [[MeaningfulName Thaumiel]]. Essentially, it is a huge facility capable of cloning the entirety of the human race in the event of an end-of-the-world scenario, able to set the culture and civilization of mankind to any time period chosen, with politically important figures copied exactly to get the world running back on track. It is an enormous ResetButton.]] The scary part is [[spoiler: it has already been pressed who knows how many times. A corpse found in it is dated back 450-700 years, and a letter accompanying it indicates that it was around long before then. Attached notes also indicate that we've still screwed it up by rewinding too far before its repopulation began, which ended up causing WorldWarII. One note even says that they will not try reducing humanity's violent and sociopathic tendencies, ''because they already did,'' ''[[HumansAreBastards successfully.]]'']]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2950 SCP-2950]] is referred to explicitly as "Just A Chair", with no real harmful side effects except the fact it is so comfortable, force must be used to remove from the chair any person that sits on it longer than half an hour to an hour. It is classed as a "safe" object. Kind of creepy that a simple chair could mess with your head like that, right? [[spoiler:Then you read the addendum, intended for ''a single O5 only'', which reveals that they ''want'' people to think 2950 is a "safe" object. It's actually a Keter-class object that is capable of bringing about an [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt XK-class scenario]]. It is "undefinable", only defined by what people think it is. If the Foundation can convince people it's just a relatively harmless chair with a creepy effect on people, that is what it will be. The problem is, there's a book written about 2950 saying it's a world-ending monster, that appeared in TheWanderersLibrary, leading everyone, even the Foundation, to believe that was what it was - it was even contained as its "monster form" for a long time. The Foundation had to communicate with the Serpent's Hand to be convinced it was in fact an "undefined" object that is only what people choose to define it as. The most disturbing part, of course, is that this means someone defined 2950 as a world-ending monster ''on purpose'', possibly just ForTheEvulz, and word must never get out that it is anything more than Just A Chair]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2317 SCP-2317]], "A Door To Another World"'s page contains 6 tabs, each a record of a different SCP staff member logging in to the database to read the SCP entry, each with increasing security clearance that reveals more and more sensitive information. The first iteration, a lowly staff assistant, gets almost no information at all, other than that it's a wooden door frame which leads to another world, kept in security by the Foundation. Then a security specialist finds out that it's Keter and more about the containment procedures, including something called "Procedure 220-Calabasas". An assistant researcher finds out more about the nature of the SCP and potential consequences for failing to perform the containment procedure- a potential XK-Class End of the World scenario. A senior researcher gets most of the details of Procedure 220-Calabasas, which now requires a high-clearance foundation staff member ''pretending'' to be a Class D and some form of ritual sacrifice. Dr Crow himself reveals the true nature of the threat: [[spoiler:an ''immensely'' titanic entity, estimated at ''over 200km'' in height, imprisoned below the ritual site by 7 colossal chains- 6 of which have already broken.]] However, it ''does'' slightly alleviate the horror by also revealing that [[spoiler:the sacrifice required daily is only a chicken]]. But, the worst is yet to come..\\
[[spoiler:The 05-restricted entry reveals that, while the description of the world beyond the door and the imprisoned entity are accurate, the rest of the entry is a '''complete lie.''' The SCP? Not the portal, but the entity imprisoned beyond it itself, a creature referred to as "the Devourer of Worlds". Its true designation? '''Apollyon.''' The meaning of that? ''The Foundation is utterly powerless to do anything about it.'' The containment procedures? "Irrelevant." While the Foundation is desperately trying to find a way to contain the Devourer when it inevitably breaks free sometime within the next century, at the moment they're at a loss to either repair or replace the broken chains or prevent the last one from breaking. All the hoo-ha and fuss about "Procedure 220-Calabasas" earlier in the document? A ''smokescreen'' the 05s have implemented to prevent panic by convincing people that they're achieveing something meaningful. In short? ''We're effectively doomed and the SCP Foundation can't save us!'']]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2999 SCP-2999]], while the article itself isn't overtly scary, just a little unsettling (and [[TearJerker MORE than a little heartbreaking]]), the page image makes for a great scare. The first page image is the desktop that SCP-2999-A uses. It prominently features some kind of disturbing [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human half-rabbit hybrid]] with large black eyes and a blood covered mouth. Clicking to enlarge the image doesn't do much expect that it [[spoiler: reveals the image to be animated, showing the desktop [[FreezeFrameBonus very quickly change]] to a [[http://postimg.org/image/flizratab/ horrifying image]] of a dark rabbit-like [[HumanoidAbomination humanoid abomination]] standing in a darkened blood covered room, before reverting back to the original desktop image.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2998 SCP-2998]]. Like SCP-2317, the article is broken up into multiple revised versions. SCP-2998 is a radio signal whose source is unknown, but has been picked up from all over the Solar System. It was thought to just be strange but harmless white noise until technology to decode it was developed in 2011. The signal contains a video transmission of a humanoid alien floating in a dark room, making sounds and gestures like it's in physical distress. No context is provided. Later iterations reveal humans born with a rare nerve cluster in their Temporal lobe can decode the signal, with some side effects, and have discovered what the video is: [[spoiler: a criminal named Ruhar being punished by an all-powerful ruler named Adidal for killing a member of the latter's family, [[AndIMustScream doomed to be kept alive and suffer on public broadcast until the universe grows dark]].]]
** Another iteration reveals that on 11/09/14, all Rosetta Cluster D-class personnel exposed to SCP-2998 experienced seizures, while the alien in the video fell unconscious and the transmission ended. After months of inactivity, SCP-2998 was considered neutralized. [[BlatantLies Problem solved, right?]] [[spoiler: Nope! In December 2016, an alien fleet approaches the Earth and begins transmitting a new form of SCP-2998 on all radio, TV, and satellite signals. Anyone who hears it falls under Adidal's control. The Foundation responds to this with Operation Blackout, destroying all global communications infrastructures and killing everyone affected. When interviewing a captured subject affected by the signal, they claim that Ruhar has disappeared and now they're looking for him, and reveal that the "aliens" are in fact ''[[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm living ideas]]''. A later iteration implies that Ruhar may have [[GrandTheftMe taken control]] of a [[OhCrap high-ranking member of the Foundation]], and the remnants of the Foundation AfterTheEnd are eventually forced to '''combine SCP-579 with SCP-055''' to reset the universe.]]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2852 SCP-2952]] takes the concept of a long lost relative or [[CreepyUncle creepy uncle/cousin]] and somehow makes it even more disturbing. The SCP is essentially a figure known only as "Cousin Johnny", who manifests at random family get-togethers such as Catholic masses, funerals, weddings and child baptisms. Whenever "Cousin Johnny" appears at one of these get-togethers, the events of said get-together become morbid, disgusting and violent and even possess dangerous consequences for the attendees later in life. Said events include [[{{Squick}} allowing the bride and groom at weddings to smash each others teeth in who then proceed to feed each other the teeth, having a baptized infant's skin molt off which is then fed to its grandparents, and participants at funerals slitting their wrists over the open coffin while "Cousin Johnny" vomits dead bugs into it]]. During [[FromBadToWorse Black Level]] gatherings (which normally happen during funerals), The Foundation has no way of stopping said events from transpiring, only [[ForcedToWatch watching it from beginning to end]] with no way of preventing "Cousin Johnny" from spawning. What makes the whole thing scary is that no one who willingly attends these gatherings finds any of the events out of place, and treat "Cousin Johnny" as a welcomed family member. On top of that, reading the effects of each event level reveals that this thing has most likely killed or maimed ''thousands'' of people.
** "Cousin Johnny" and the events surrounding him?/it? are all ultimately related to cicadas somehow. Children baptized in Blue Level events "molt" and later exhibit violent behavior and PTSD-like symptoms when they hear cicada cries, the groom produces a cicada call instead of vows and the couple is later presented 13 dead cicadas by "Johnny" himself in White Level events, and Black Level events have "Cousin Johnny"'s eulogy devolve into cicada song eventually, along with the aforementioned vomiting of cicada corpses. Why this is so is unknown, but it certainly won't help people who dislike the bugs to begin with sleep any easier.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2740 SCP-2740]] is probably one of the most disturbing examples of NothingIsScarier on the entire website. SCP-2740 is a strange entity believed to be residing in the attic of a Lee residence. According to the description and containment procedure, it is not known if the entity even exists, but the anomalous properties stem from how those who live in and around residence insist that it exists. What really sells the creep factor on this SCP is that attempting to enter the attic fails, not because the SCP blocks passage or puts up some sort of barrier but because person who attempts to enter just ''gives up'' or are unable to carry one up the ladder. Essentially, people who do so end up "waking up" at some point in the house, almost as though they had woken up from a day dream, though some individuals such as the wife insist they have entered the attic even when evidence says otherwise. Oh, and ignoring the entity won't help, as it gives off some sort of dread that gnaws at the psyche of the residence of the home. The husband of the house for example claims that whenever he tried to enter the attic to confront the entity, he would simply find himself unable to go up the ladder, to his irritation. Because of this phenomena, the foundation can't properly contain the entity, as personnel will simply believe they entered the attic when in reality they didn't. Even unmanned expeditions don't work!
--> ...several attempts were made to penetrate the attic, both manned and unmanned. In all cases, further investigation revealed that no attempts were actually made, regardless of the claims made by involved personnel stating otherwise.
** These attempts may have included direct access through the second floor attic ladder, shaped charges situated at various points on the second floor ceiling, drone access through the ladder opening, manned and unmanned access by cutting through the roof, and complete leveling of the home. As stated above, no records exist that any of these methods were actually attempted.
** Oh, and the Lee family [[spoiler: [[AndIMustScream can't leave their home.]] Whenever they try to move away, the affects that manifest when they try to enter the attic happen when they try to exit the house. They are trapped in a house with an entity that may or may not even exist.]]
** Even more bizarrely, they interview Olivia Lee, the daughter of the family that's constantly alluded to, and she's apparently changed her name to Rebecca Feldman. But, by the end, [[spoiler:investigation reveals that Olivia doesn't exist. If so... what ''was'' Olivia? How did the Foundation interview Rebecca Feldman? If they did... [[NothingIsScarier What happened?]]]]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2059 SCP-2059]]. Some kind of amorphous mass of body tissue, which will assimilate any living creature that touches it, minus keratinous materials like skin and hair. It currently consists of a blue whale, a giant squid, a pair of dolphins, three hundred rodents, several specimens of livestock and pets, thirty-one humans, and an unknown number of insects. The weird thing is that 85% of the assimilated organs are just sitting there, inactive. Also, not only is SCP-2059 [[ItCanThink fully sentient]], but consists of two separate intelligences: a Buddhist man who has retained some of his individuality and an entity referred to as "the child." At one point, the Buddhist was able to communicate with a Foundation scientist by using SCP-2059's biomass to ''form a new face''. [[spoiler: According to him, the child comes from a [[EldritchLocation different place with different rules]], which the Buddhist refers to as the "third cycle of (UNINTELLIGIBLE)." He has little understanding of things like a heart and liver, which is why most of the organs in SCP-2059 are inactive. This seems to imply that he may actually be absorbing life [[AndIMustScream against his own will]].]] The page also has a picture of part of the thing. Viscera and all, including an eye of the giant squid and what looks like a aforementioned face.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2006 SCP-2006]]. At first, it doesn't seem so bad. It's a shape-shifting entity that seeks to scare people ForTheLulz, but is otherwise friendly and cooperative. It's also not really that scary, usually taking the form of [[RobotMonster Ro-Man]] and jumping out at people with cheesy lines. Even so, all personnel have to act terrified of it and continually remind SCP-2006 that it's the master of horror. Why? Not only does it have limitless shape-shifting abilities, but it's completely indestructible and always searches for new ways to scare people. The only reason it takes such [[{{Narm}} Narmy]] forms is because the Foundation takes advantage of its poor understanding of human emotion by only showing it low budget horror and sci-fi movies. If SCP-2006 were to breach containment, it could discover what ''really'' scares people.
* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2872 SCP-2872]] is a horse that runs in circles at speeds high enough to smash through anything in its path. Seems like standard SCP material, right? Until you read that sometime after 2010, it launched from its containment cell fast enough to cause injuries in the triple digits and achieve orbital escape velocity toward the constellation Equuleus. At the time of the entry's writing, [[OhCrap it's slowing down.]] [[EarthShatteringKaboom And it's turning around.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2932 SCP-2932]] is a giant dome made entirely of trees, vines, and other plant matter located in a nature reserve in Peru. It's lit from within by bioluminescent structures, powered by a giant vascular organ in the middle of the main chamber, and protected by mobile plant-based organisms. The main section mostly consists of large rooms and arched hallways, with rooms in lower sections containing what used to be administrative offices. The only individual still living inside is SCP-2932-A, an elderly semi-humanoid insect creature. Deep beneath the surface, there's a massive chamber filled with a system of catwalks and plant pods, each with a small organic touchscreen that can open or close them. Some of these pods have been ruptured from the inside. Have you guessed what this place is? [[spoiler: It's a prison built by SCP-1000 (yes, ''the Bigfoots'') [[DoesThisremindYouOfAnything to house a variety of dangerous creatures and entities.]] During the human uprising, they evacuated and left a skeleton crew to maintain the prison. SCP-2932-A was their warden and is now the only survivor. As the years passed, and the structure fell into disrepair, some of the entities escaped. The entry also includes translated records of the prisoners, some of whom were humans that hunted the Bigfoots even before they acquired their technology, but also include a hungry beast that came "from the heavens" and something that the Bigfoots [[YouDontWantToKnow refused to describe]]. The final entry cements the idea that humans and Bigfoots truly are NotSoDifferent.]]
