SCP-4975 - Time's Up

SCP 4975 is a Euclid Class anomaly also known as Time's Up.

SCP-4975 is a vaguely humanoid entity with various avian attributes, the most notable of which is its beak.
Its cervical vertebrae are not interconnected, and appear to be able to move independently of one another. SCP4975 continuously rotates them one vertebra at a time, from back to front, ending with its head, in a rhythmic fashion. This produces a clicking or cracking sound with each movement. SCP-4975 only stops moving its neck in this manner when it is preparing for an attack.

SCP-4975 has been observed to stalk future victims for extended periods of time before finally deciding to attack, sometimes as long as 10 months or more.

Fun Fact: the actual wiki page for SCP-4975 actually has a low volume ticking noise that will play after about 10 mins or so reading the page :)

"What's that mysterious ticking noise?"
"It's a pipe bomb."

[anotherhuman]

The narrator was on another level with this one!

I constantly heard a clicking noise coming from somewhere inside my walls up until a couple weeks ago. I'm not joking. I couldn't pin down the exact direction the sound was coming from it was somewhere towards the ceiling in one specific corner.




Turns out it was probably the broken pipe that got fixed now.

Honestly I just think that this SCP is able to exist between the time-lines, one where the foundation was able to contain it and another where the foundation couldn't do it.

[KiwiPaws]

I like the way even the background music in this video is rhythmic ticking.

7:40 - Well I bet a certain voice actor had a barrel of fun voicing this entry! Hitherehunter is pushing his performance further lately and it's paying off.

[tegandumpleton]

I first learned about this one on Dr. Bob's channel and it is terrifying. I have sensitive hearing. I pick up background noise better than someone talking directly in front of me, so I am constantly picking every creak of a house, every buzz from electronics and, yes, every tick of a clock. Some sounds i just have to get used to.
So, yeah, 4975 is my nightmare. (And 2774. They are tied)

Hunter saying "Tick Tock" in a demonic voice was not something I expected to listen to today

[creeptomie]

7:44, i was calmly resting and the way you voiced that whole sentence just woke me up out my rest and gave me a mini heart attack. i truly can see u being a great narrator for horror movies or shows, awesome and pretty creepy !

[Ishtarru]

I'm sorry, but without the ominous black coloring it just looks like a plucked crane.

[juliocesar]

This SCP gave me goosebumps, the way it tortures it's victims, If I were one of the members of the SCP Foundation, I'd quickly suggest to destroy this thing as soon as possible

[phillipjarrett]

i think that the ticking happens only to the victim because the cracking represents the viticms remaining time and the inability for others to see it could be an optic camoflauge sort of like the predators movie but it only hides its presence from select others

[PicketPolecat]

"I found the source of the ticking: it's this pipe bomb!"

[vermilion]

7:40
Man, that speed up really caught me off gaurd, nice one!

[whyistherebossmusic]

This SCP legitimately terrified me when I was younger.

Edit: also one of my favorites.

[briefcasegaming]

fun fact:if you stay is scp-4975's scp wikidot page for a few minutes (i do not remeber exactly how many minutes), you will start to hear ticking

[nathanaelchrist]

" It was something ancient, something mysterious, something monstrous, something... Anomalous "
The SCP Foundation: All of the boxes are checked! Le's get this thing into containment

[scytheweilder]

Not gonna lie, that faint ticking they kept in the rest of the video made me tense a second and pause the video to see if the ticking would continue XD. I didn't hear any ticking after, but boy did I have goose bumps

[logologo]

Interesting SCP to say the least. The fact that even while contained its somehow still out there stalking and killing people. The weird thing is how it rotates its spin constantly for months.... and counts down time for its victims.
