SCP-783 - There Was A Crooked Man

SCP 783 is a Keter Class anomaly also known as There Was A Crooked Man.

SCP-783 is a hostile entity currently preying upon the residents of Temby, a rural hamlet in Oxfordshire, England.
Victims of SCP783 attack exhibit gross deformations in their body structure as the result of dozens of compound fractures along their long bones and severely displaced vertebrae. These are healed via the rapid generation of excessive cartilage and osseous tissue. The end result of this malformation and elongation are subjects who visually present as being wholly serrated or gnarled.

Despite all the horror, I still found it kind of nice that some people didn’t want to immediately abandon the D class and when they thought they could save him, multiple rushed to save him.

SCP Stories:” Don’t stay home at night alone”

Me: who is alone at home watching SCP video at night. “Well ain’t that a shame”

[killer_rabbit]

The real anomaly is Hunter's voice, drawing us in, capturing our attention, instilling feelings of horror, and only at the end of the video does he release us.
Fantastic job!

Funny thing a few my Tenby friends who are fans of SCP spread a rumour that if you don’t sing the Second Crooked man rhyme the crooked man will catch you because all the people in the school from didn’t know what SCP was so they scared the living hell out of them

[lockskelington]

I can't help but feel these deaths could be avoided if everyone just packed up and left Tenby and the Foundation had it Quarantined off.

A bad SCP is one that kills you.
A _worse_ SCP is one that leaves you alive.

"A *wet sucking* sound, followed by a *thump* ", "And it was continuing to *come* "
I'm surprised the narrator didn't laugh histarically after saying that

[anonymousnoone]

You'd think that someone would suggest getting everyone in the town together in a shelter or something, maybe even evacuate, during the time when The Crooked Man strikes.

[schizophrenicsnowman]

I always love this one. It was my very first mother goose rhyme, but not at a childs age. I learnt it through the old RPG horror game of the titular man himself. If your interested, play it, its one of the best old pixelated horror games ever made

[wonderofu]

Okay I appreciate our researchers but

You gotta give it to D-2172. He was freaking GOAT here, had me rooting for him

[Kian_Knight]

I think I'd rather be shredded by 682 than be a victim to the crooked man

[-Miasimon]

I honestly prefer *these* SCPs. The ones that are just generally spooky, are interesting, and/or wholesome.

Never really liked the "this will end all life on this planet at a moments notice" SCPs that people seem addicted to writing. It reeks of "my SCP is stronger than *your* SCP!" and gets old after a while.

[barletproductions]

stories like these make ya feel bad for the D class, who canonly are anything from murders to people that avoided going to jail for speeding. The fact the foundation has people that genuinely cares for these people enough to risk their lives saving them shows some of them legit want to better the world. even if its just to have him for a ginea pig for later, the fact they would save him is heart warming.

The most unrealistic part of this is dark lyrics being described as "out of place" in a nursery rhyme

[pinstripe]

These d-class were super brave. I’m fairly sure if I got touched on the back in a pit of stretched out corpses I wouldn’t urge them to lower me faster. Fairly sure I’d be begging to be pulled up

[TheRabidDagger]

I remember first reading about watching a video on this one when I was younger. That was back in highschool and it still freaks me tf out, albeit I’m absolutely fascinated by how this one operates. Even now, when I’m at work- I’ll pull out my headphones and listen to podcasts on this and other scps while going about my day. Nothing wakes you up at 5am quite like hearing about SCP - 783’s exploits.

[TheChibiZel]

"But there is a dark tone to it that seems a bit out of place, especially when you compare it to [other nursery rhymes]"

Brothers Grimm: 👀

[thatnonody]

This was actually one of the most horrific stories to listen to, out of all the stories, this one hits hard. Well done!
