“Life after death is what you believe it is”

Fuck me the thing the ressurectee experienced sounds better

I love how he was so traumatised that he doesn't want even D class to experience what he experienced
Like it must be seriously terrifying beyond all measures if he was willing to climb into SCP-106's cell to escape death
@@tadhgmcelligott3693 Sorry for the long comment (I just find thus fascinating as hell), but what stuck with me the most is that Roger went into SCP-106's containment quaters. At the end of the SCP-2718 entry, in Greek it says something along the lines of "Roger, you have paid a/your price, you have been transferred to paradise."
*My understanding of the whole situation is this:*
Roger struck a deal with SCP-106 to be kept in the pocket dimension. SCP-106 has, at least inside the inner dimension of its pocket dimension, full control of time, space, and perception. Thus, SCP-106 would be able to have Roger live forever in there, or at least give Roger the perception that he can live forever. My reason for this is that according to the SCP-106 entry, it says that SCP-106 is capable of "keeping many “alive” in the pocket dimension for extended periods of time" - by "alive" here, it must probably mean that even though terrible things most likely happen to living beings entering the pocket dimension, they are still kept alive throughout it all, so even though that existence might be painful and full of anguish, it sounds like SCP-106 is capable of keeping its preys alive indefinitely in its pocket dimension.
I suppose this "deal" to live this suffering existence within SCP-106's pocket dimension, to Roger, is preferable to death and the essentially eternal and incomprehensible pain, torment, terror and anguish that afterlife would entail. Roger is essentially choosing to "live" an eternal shitty existence in SCP-106's pocket dimension over an eternal much shittier afterlife.
Honestly, if you end up prefering going with SCP-106 over dying, afterlife must be the worst thing ever to experience.
@@bonk369 well.. Here is the thing about Scp-106 he does what it does to cause pain. And it would very likely just kill hik and keep him dead and experience the afterlife
anybody know where i can get killed by SCP-2200?
I dont think that the foundation thinks of dclass as the worst people of the world, they just think of them as the most justificable people to kill
there’s something horrifying about that guy on the council saying “we should declare human death a keter-class scp”.
It seems a bit closer to Apollyon.
one of the best goddamn lines in the whole foundation
@@spacecore2935 Ehhhh Archon
And thus the End of Death canon was born
@@TheLegendaryTashy Not sure that reality is all that much better, honestly
"The foundation has not discovered a method of achieving immortality."
Alright, what did Bright do to make everyone forget about him.
Whats the use of immortality anyway if the entire world was going to be destroyed by that appollyon scp with seven chains in 30 years or so or even by the scarlet king himself
*We should fool the scarlet king into holding the thing*
@@ijent3819 haha yes
He knows what he did...
OOOHHHHH Like hell im letting bright into the scarlet king its like taking a one way trip to 682's containment cell x10
So by this scp logic, it will be better to become a zombie rather than die? So maybe scp 049 is really a true "cure" for human suffering
When you believe it, it becomes your reality. It's all about beliefs. Those too fearful to realize it shall cower for all their pitiful existence, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Decay - their Master. Those too dumb to realize it shall envision their life as a never-ending maze, to mentally rot therein... forever.
Maybe 049 isn't so much a doctor but more of a grim reaper, just at the last second before someone passes away they allow 049 to touch them and make them into a zombie
That is one hell of a theory!😳😳

This SCP *seriously* freaked me out when I read it. Hearing someone else read it out loud doesn't do the article justice. The slow, creeping terror you feel as you read each new line, a deeper and deeper understanding of what it *feels* like after you die.
Edit: As an added explanation, just for you few that are put off by reading. If you read a lot of SCPs, you’ll come across many articles that like to hide it’s info, so you are more interested, trying to find the secrets. This one takes the cake in that regard; you really feel like you opened something you shouldn’t have, especially if you’re just browsing articles (like how I personally just found it one day, instead of being directed towards it). Then there’s this relentless tide of warnings to stop reading, and an exhaustive explanation of how to hide/contain the SCP. You really have to commit through a lot of complex jargon, and then you get the “real” article, and the tone immediately shifts. Slow, creeping terror, expertly done in writing.
SOMEONE GET THIS MAN SOME AMNESTICS
when you imagine it
don't
@GlacierPlayZ - then why read their comment, or this one?
THANK YOU! Although TES really does fantastic work with his videos and narration, I highly encourage all fans to actually read the articles for themselves first; They are some of the most fantastic bits of modern horror/fiction/whatever that I've come across these past years. This one, like many others, are truly gripping, every sentence a further plunge into the feeling that the author's words give off. Great stuff.
@@zackoz2202 it is this singular comment that truly grasps why reading it is so much better. You are forced to have the sentences in your head, the feeling of slight anxiety in thinking that you're not supposed to think about it, even though you are just the reader of a story; Surely no harm can come to you, right?
Roger: Well, THIS sucks.
Richard: Walk it off.

What if SCP-2718 only affects those that are brought back. Because your body is trying to account for all the time you spent dead? If you were never brought back, you would never experience it.
He only experienced it after death, and they didn't try bringing him back until after he'd been dead for a while.
@@wolveraspeaks
True, but assuming the timeline that the SCP universe is in, is linear then it is possible, assuming your soul or whatever is somewhat aware of the future, be it consciously or subconsciously. Now, I am aware that there are alternant timelines in the SCP universe but this could just be one branching timeline that is incapable of deviations in its path, even temporarily, causing anomalies such as this to arise.
@@noneofyourbusiness2437 I was thinking the same thing. For the story to go on the gaps must be filled by someone otherwise consciousness is leaving a void and the story is incomplete. For someone with a religious affiliation some entity probably draws them up to it and they experience something resembling their notion of an afterlife but still confining itself to the laws of probability and accounting for other realities they understand. But if you're like this guy who experienced his own decay it's probably the result of being firmly agnostic toward your fate, it's the result of not defining a path for yourself after death and when the suffering gets great enough it may potentially attract an ex machina to you to help you escape (as the suffering goes on long enough you'd be more and more open to any possible means of escape, and with your consciousness permeating all of life on earth you'd surely be able to work out a way to subconsciously direct events in your own favor)
we can hope.
I remember my existential crisis. I thought what if when my soul is reaped my awareness stayed with my body for dissolution. Then I read in Revelation how my soul will be reunited with my body later, and I felt better.
"This SCP is about a metaphysical concept related to death and the afterlife, so here's a bunch of images of grim reapers and hell."
Man, I love this guy.
heres my take:
it is a cognito hazard, and roger is the source because he was resurrected with that special method the foundation used. the foundation created this themselfs, somehow.
Not a bad take 👍
So in a way it might almost be like time travel, because we don't know if before that, he could have been experiencing a different afterlife, but because the Foundation decided to disturb his peace in the future, his soul would have had to have stuck around, thus his suffering

Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if the Scarlet King had a hand in doing this, if he can affect the world. This seems like something he would do just to spread more fear, seemingly his ultimate goal for some reason from what I’ve heard, and maybe that new method was just occult enough for him to worm his influence into it.
This is truly, the most terrifying thing I can think of.

Keaton Actually it’s safe
Remember that if no one sees it, no one is affected
The most realistic cognitohazard.
It has high standards. You have to believe it to be true in order for it to affect you, but…
The horror is too much. We are all afraid of dieing, and think about it constantly.
A death where you feel everything. Your decomposition, your return to nature. The bugs, bacteria, and dislocation. It's so horrifying, you can't help but to think about it.
Think about something long enough, you begin to believe it.
But is it? It's the destruction of the ego - a return to being one with everything. You were already one with everything.
You can fly and burrow and grow in the grass! If you can be everything, everywhere - isn't that Divinity?
Ok
@UFHoee Since this is just a story, a pretty good one at that, my personal belief holds that that type of integration into the continuation of life on this planet is pretty amazing and could even be considered a religious belief.
Think about it: we have probably all consumed the quarks and leptons of our ancestors, be it through plant life, soil, or water. Hell, someone somewhere has probably consumed all the notable figures in history, be it the greatest conqueror or the smallest child.
Now imagine you feeling every bit of it. For eternity. Such a creepy thought!
Of course, that's not really possible because our sapience ends when the organic computer in our head stops sending electrical signals and the electrical energy dissipates into the tissue and then into the air and the ground.

Peaceful afterlife: *Exists*
SCP-2718: _I'm about to end this mans whole career_
I’d hope that once you die, you yourself become a sort of god as well, its hard to explain. You get judged by GOD god, to get control of your own universe, of course there is still the afterlife, where you can meet, of course, everyone else who has died and passed.
Of course, this is all a hope, The Afterlife is probably very different from this ‘theory’.
@@despacito_boi4484 spoilers: you become god for a lifetime and then real god judges you based on your actions as God and the decides if you deserve torment or blissfully empty sleep

I have been waiting for this one. Out of all the SCPs I have read, it is probably the only one that has given me true and genuine fear. Other SCP have been creepy or sad, or temporarily disturbing, but this one stayed with me for a long time
Think it's because that it's primordial to us to ask this question to ourselves at some point in our lives. Except instead of it just being nothing. It's nothing with all the atoms that used to make up our very being just slowly withering away awhile feeling extreme torment and anguish in the process. Which is when the existential dread starts to creep in and fear of the unknown beings to haunt your thoughts for awhile...
@@cheekclappa6966 I feel like it's more because I do believe in an afterlife, and in many ways this SCP deprives you of any respite you may have had. It takes any existential dread you may have had and confirms it, if not makes it worse
@@IapitusMcHeimer Yeah, think we can both agree this scp is fucked. The best way to deal with it is to try not to think about it to much.
I hope that amnestic kicks in soon...
@@IapitusMcHeimer you missed that part about belief. As one comment stated, it is implied what you believe about the afterlife is what happens to you. In other words, being an atheist in SCP universe means you will the afterlife of existential dread, but not so with others.
Without a doubt this is the most terrifying SCP ever written.

I feel like this SCP really fits well with SCP 049
Perhaps he knows that this is what happens after we die. this is the plague he speaks of, and what he's actively trying to "cure" humanity of.
Its not something I've given a lot of thought to, admittedly, but its something that I feel works on some levels.
yeah,maybe he kills people and turn them into "zombies" so they don't have to suffer,even if they lose their humanity
Or prevents them from being able to know in the first place
Doesn't really make sense if you consider that not everyone is infected with it. It might work if you consider its possible a number of researchers might have accidentally read it and its active in the back of their mind. However, this is falsified when you consider Class-D have also been afflicted by the "Pestilence." And the foundation would for never in any case or reason give the information to a D Class. And for obvious reasons, because informational hazards need to be contained in ways which involve not giving a Dummerung class event the ability to be blurted out to doom a room full of people. I mean all it takes is a happy ole "Hey after we die its eternal pain from the natural decay of our biological bodies." And the staff begin offing themselves or going rogue and joining Hipster Anart immortality movements.
@@I_like_big_bombs at the end of the video he stated the it my not even be a cognito effect, just its says that to convince everyone that it's not the truth and you shouldn't worry

greanstreak04 not gonna lie in your position I'd just call in sick this one really fucked me up
Nice picture
What a coincidence
Hello internet, this is your daily dose of existential dread
This is the kind of terrifying existential scenario used to make up in my head as a kid.
What if human existence is just a trap? What if the afterlife is [insert horrifying scenario here] and there's really nothing anyone can do to stop that experience?
What if whatever you think about as what happens after death, most frequently during your lifetime, is the scenario that happens after death?
What if, by thinking about it, I will set in motion a state of panic that will cause the thought of this scenario to cycle in my head beyond any conscious attempts to stop thinking about it?
What if I try to stop thinking about it and, by focusing on the situation, even to attempt to stop focusing in it, I will just cause the thought to resurface more frequently?
Luckily, I don't get stuck in those kinds of anxious, paranoid thought spirals anymore....
I'm a big boy now, and I'm aware of my anxious temperament, so I don't waste my energy panicking about imagined scenarios like that anymore....
I just panic about real life now.
Sam Lockhart Wtf did you do as a kid
I can relate to this somewhat. I remeber when i was a kid and religious that i would think about horrible scenarios for what hell is like and it was by far the worst aspect of my childhood. An inconcievable, unsupported and irrational dread for the concept of eternal sentience. That kind of existential thought is not something kids should have to think about but luckily that only went on for a year or so and i got over it cause i have no reason to believe it will actually happen so its pointless.
I still remember the day when I was I kid and the possibility that there's absolutely nothing after we die struck me and I started crying lol
Cool it man, you're starting to sound kind of gay.
@@Sandrodziej as a great man once said "dying is gay"
This scp reminds me of that one doctor who episode where a con artist is convincing people that he can communicate with the dead and tells the doctor that the dead can feel whatever happens to their bodies, so they beg not to be cremated and instead uses his method of preserving the bodies in cyber men bodies.
It was She/He and they where In a bliss like state while they're bodys were like that. And it was the Master/Missy. I'm guessing you just causaly watch Dr. who but tbh if you havent at least seen the David Tenant Years you are seriously missing out.
About half of this wasn't correct in any way but I know what you mean xD You should seriously consider watching the other seasons. It's a great show. ^^ I'd recommend either starting at season 1 or 5 :)

I could've gone my entire life without listening to this...
Essentially a soft description of the potential in Hell. This SCP stuff is fascinating as it’s bland but flavorful at the same time story wise.
I used to think that Mirian suffered for eternity because she knew about the existence of this SCP, but now I think that this torture that Roger suffered only happens to people that ( in a linear timeline) were "bound" to be resurrected the way that he was ressurected.
Roger never really died, death is permanent and absolute. Roger was gone momentarily and then brought back he was different from everyone else in that and that what caused his torture.
At least that's what makes more sense to me.
This SCP is special to me, one of the most intriguing SCPs indeed.
I really love this idea.

So in other words, NEVER THINK ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF DEATH!!!!
The catholics were right along
Technically, in this case, every religion is right.
Actually, even imagination is right, just think of a happy place when you die.
See, but there is no science behind it. pain is connected to the nerves. Scientifically you would feel nothing. He went through an anamoly, probably caused by his rez.
I suck at science....
You forgot to mention a detail at the end:
There's Greek script at the end that says something like "Roger, your price is paid", implied to be 106
@Paradoxical Nightmare Roger (the revived O5) ran into the containment chamber of 106. It is implied that they struck some sort of a deal
"Roger, you've paid your price. I transport thee to paradise."
What is described is not the pain of unending death, but the agony of existence in ceaseless, unclouded perpetuity. What Roger experienced is not a cruelly indifferent afterlife, but the pain of matter without the limitations of the human condition; a ghost in the shell born of the decayed form of the human body and yanked back into life.
You are correct but there was still an eternity of pain with no one to answer to. Therefore what made it more unbearable was there was no entity to reason with or explain the eternal punishment, like it's just a course of nature, its suppose to happen. Truly truly most terrifying thing ever to happen
The implication of many works on the SCP website is that, unless an outside force interferes, the soul goes into an afterlife appropriate for them, and it is a popular headcanon that the fear of there being no afterlife but still consciousness after death is what causes 2718 to manifest, and why those who experience it can recall it when resurrected; they technically haven't passed, as they are still in the process of dying as they experience the slow decay of matter, so the arbitrary limit on post-death experience is lifted because their consciousness has not transmigrated to another plane of existence that would not have a 1:1 translation with ours. In essence, most people can't remember because their physical body would have no means of recollecting what their pure spirit experienced, but 2718 causes the experiences of the soul and body to be as one.
My original implication was that what came back wasn't Roger's soul, but the ingrained memory of his body, which remembered every tiny detail of his body being picked apart and reassembled; a ghost in the shell, so to speak. Of course, that was long before I stumbled across the headcanon of all afterlives being technically valid in the SCP universe, but I feel my original concept still stands up well. After all, can your body still think, still remember and record information onto itself like a hard disk, all without a soul?
Damn.
@@maverickrahming531 exactly, the idea that suffering and anguish is an integral part of reality and existence itself. Although it's possible to find merit or even benefit in it, the amount you'd have to go through to even feel a shred of purpose in it ...
@@Brutalyte616I believe that the device that Roger was stored in was actually responsible for his suffering post-mortem. Perhaps no one actually experiences such suffer ending unless their consciousness is contained in a device meant to keep them intact after death. Perhaps when he was resurrected, that device still allowed him to perceive consciousness during his decomposition, but for other people who never had a device, they don’t suffer because they have no means to store their consciousness after death and fade away.

This is definitely something that sticks with me. I'm terrified of death, it's my only fear, and I'm completely agnostic, so sometimes I'll think of what might happen in the afterlife, I'll think of this, and I'll kinda wanna cry
Mood, I'm practically agnostic not just regarding the existence of a God but also an afterlife and thinking too hard about it might just give me existential dread, even if at the same time I'm at peace by no longer believing in the traditional Christian afterlife I used to believe in for many years.
Since I'm betting hard on reincarnation if I had to pick maybe that's what I'd get.
Tell you what, when you meet the Grim Reaper, tell him to take me instead of you. I'm terrified of NOT being able to die, and just spending my whole existence losing more and more of my memories, possessions and capabilities, until I'm just a helpless miserable amnesiac who has no idea why he's lying in agony and surrounded by filth. Which, come to think of it, pretty much describes all our grandparents in their nursing homes or hospital wards, so yeah. Death, please come take me now.
Yeah, exactly this. I should’ve never clicked on this four years ago. It’s still haunting me
I think the saddest about this whole situation is, instead of going to 106 to be trapped forever in it's pocket dimension why didn't Roger just get killed by SCP 2200-2 and just go to Soulsberg? Seems better IMO
He panicked. 106 was likely both within reach and the most tangible Death-Bringer he could think of reaching within 7 minutes.
You arent trapped in the pocket dimension 106 will kill you there
Maybe his logic is that 106 will decay his molecules to the point of no pain? I don't know, there seems to be plenty of better options in the scp universe. He could become the dry guy mummy, or go into the meat house. Soulberg is definitely a good choice.
@@jeffjefferson2853 which one is the meat house
Yeah when reading the article I definitely thought of 2200-2 as well.

Maybe Roger experienced the SCP because some hippy was high and was like "Duuuuuuuude, what if when you die you really do stay conscious like in Dr Who?" And that tiny spark of belief was enough to set the SCP in motion on Roger, and who knows how many other dead people 0.0

That's actually the foundation of a philosophical theorem called "Pascal's Wager", it's pretty neat if you care to look it up.
or you can look up 562 and make a different decision.
@@ericcannon222 Pretty neat, as long as you don't consider that there other religions, too. some of which _also_ have severe penalties for disbelief... ;)
What if you're wrong tho? Then Allah will cast you into the hell fire for worshipping a false god.
Be smart about it, take a gamble on something supposedly so important to you, you believe some ultimate power will send you to be tortured for eternity for not taking people with faulty understanding and flawed reasoning seriously.
Idiots...
Awesome! Perfect timing. Going to enjoy this. Cheers man! Keep up the fantastic work. Especially The SCP series. I don't think we're close to being bored with such a rich array of lore from these videos. 🤘
I've a theory on this.
We are given absolutely no specifics on the method by which Roger was revived, so it's possible that the man who came back was not exactly "Roger", so to speak. For all we know, the original consciousness/soul could have moved on to whatever fate befalls whomever suffers a standard, natural death, and this revived Roger is the product of whatever process the Foundation employed to animate his remains. Since all that was left was highly decomposed organic matter, and, again, we have no clue whatsoever to the particulars of the process, the Foundation may well have inadvertently imparted consciousness onto Roger's reformed corpse, along with incredibly vivid memories of everything that had befallen it since its time of passing.
... Yeah, good. This'll help me sleep at night :)
That's actually a bit more reassuring, because it means we don't REALLY experience all of what Roger did. The corpse "felt" the decay only because, like you said, the corpse was suddenly given the ability to interpret everything that happened to it. So really, we'll be fine when we die, it's our newly awaken corpses that will suffer!
@@shioneshiori4471 I mean loglically too, you wouldn't feel it as well the nerve endings are required to feel anything, we don't feel pain beofre birth too. This scp is cool but it kinda falls apart if you take into account human biology.
This is one of the best SCP’s ever created, because it freaks me out even if I know it’s fake.
How do you know it's fake?
@@Hazzar595 Because it’s a fictional story.
Do you really know it's fake? We have absolutely no way of knowing what the afterlife is like.
@@galacticknight55544which is exactly why the likelihood of it being false is quite big

"no disciplinary action will be necessary"
Oh *God*
Well,wanna know something hilarious about this SCP?
The way the Foundation deals with it.
So basically an O5 who knew about 2718 organized a Project to "contain" and I quote 'The Cognitohazard known as death'. So they basically make an anomalous machine and send an agent to the afterlife to find a way to contain death.The Agent makes a colossal mistake.He doesn't contain death. He NEUTRALISES death.with a gun.
This basically triggers an Omega K-class End of Death Scenario where humanity puts themselves in stasis until they can find a way to die again.
Where'd you read this?
@@Raphie009 he's referring to a different scp article where the personification of death gets killed and then it becomes impossible for people to die no matter how badly their bodies get destroyed
I remember reading about a man who was declared dead, and he described waking up in hell. However, he said that it was complete and total isolation, surrounded by darkness. He said he knew what it was and when he was "brought back" by medical staff, he became an extremely religious/spiritual person. His story was truly terrifying.
No human has ever been brought back from brain death, that's when a person is truly declared dead, a man's heart can stop but as long as the brain keeps going they can be brought back somewhat.
Brain death is the end of a human being as we know it.
I experienced the same thing when I was a kid, it scared the shit out of me and made me accept a young age that I was going to hell no matter what I did. I’ve met a couple other people in my life that have shared the same experience. It isn’t even darkness it’s complete blackness. There is complete nothingness and you know that you’re alone but also feel you’re surrounded and being watched.
It may be hell or it may just be what awaits us all but either way it’s horrible and I was scared to go back for a very long time until I eventually accepted there was nothing I could do to eventually end up there.
Not sure if I believe that since you wont know what it is or see anything since your brain isn't conscience, how would you even know? Your brain can literally cause humans to not even remember things or make you see things and make you think you're actually touching it. Your brain is a powerful thing, you wouldn't have seen the after life
It's more like you get pass out and wake up immediately you dont feel the time frame during that death
@@justaclown3228it's at least a comforting thought that the only reason you experienced it is exactly because you didn't die, but was "brought back to life" and the brain scrambles to interpret the lost time and electrical impulses it felt during the time it wasn't receiving enough oxygen to make coherent sense of it. if you had stayed dead there would've been no brain to interpret any of it. had you stayed dead you would've likely just experienced the same thing you did the billions of years before your birth. nothing.
This is honestly one of my favorite scps, it’s just so unsettling and one of those ones that gnaws at the back of your mind like... *what if*
Ironically my other favorite scp is 1230 for the complete opposite reason that there’s nearly nothing creepy about it and I just think it’s neat
This has been one of my favourites ever since I first read it, just because it's probably the worst possible version of the "afterlife" I've ever heard.
This is the best SCP I’ve ever heard
yeah. this is the only scp that i believe is real. imagine dying and still have consciousness and ur stuck in an indescribable agony :((
The experience could have been a side effect of how he was brought back
That’s actually kind of what happens in another seperate article, Marshall Carter and Dark’s Dark Web. It’s a cool little story
Beliefs. Such powerful notions. Such magnificent two-edged blade. So laughable... for the immune.
Obligate Carnivore what if SCP-2718 was created when he came back, they said it was a new method
In order to retrieve the mental key they had to keep his consciousness intact, that kept him aware of everything that happened to his corpse. That was my immediate thought on first reading it. And the O5s are so used to there being horrible things in the world that it simply doesn't occur to them that it might be their own screw-up that tortured their fellow O5.
@@CryingZombie666
No one is immune.Except for psychopaths,maybe.
That description makes that one Dr Who sound real tame.
-"The SCP Foundation has no first-hand testimony on someone dying, and reporting on the afterlife."-
-Read SCP-2922.-
Yeah, ignore this. Wtf was I thinking when I wrote this?
There is no canon in SCP.
Some SCP's don't actually exist in some universes due to inter-dimensional anomolies
are you saying that SCP-2922 was recorded and published before SCP-2718?
@@MurderCube | They were both published before the making of this video.
@@wikipediaintellectual7088 By that information, that means The SCP Foundation saying they've never had a first hand testimony of someone reporting on the afterlife would not be canon as well ;)
lol but nah i get it, thats more of a solid part of the foundation itself, something laid in stone, that just being part of the Foundation itself. There actually IS some kind of canon in the SCP universe if you want to get technical, like most of the object classes, the fact that there are o5 council members, things like that; certain things you have to follow to an extent.
Oh god, I had this concept of an afterlife in my head before. Scary thought.
When the description of the article is already a cognitohazard, you know you’re off to a good start 🤣
Here's a crazy theory
What if he met an entity in the "afterlife" that told him to tell this story and gave him the power to experience it in full, convincing everyone.
Are you trying to drag me back into my existential crisis
I'm not sure this scp even exists
Its stated that the way that they brought roger back was that they used science mumbo jumbo to track down the metaphysical state of every single atom in his body. And then reassemble him entirely
So its possible that he didn't experience an afterlife. But that now that he is brought back, he is remembering in his actual mind, what happened to his physical body, every single atom of it
Pretty good theory.
So which SCPs are you sure DO exist?
this is literally one of my dark fears and now this just made it darker.

Considering this SCP, procreation is one of the most unethical things someone can ever do.
I mean, it kinda already is. You bring nothingness into awareness, teach it to be good, then allow it to discover for itself that the world is in fact not good. And that their suffering will almost certainly outweigh their ecstasy, as pain is endless and finds new methods of worming into you, but you quickly become numb to true joy as novel experiences grow more and more infrequent as life goes on. And that's assuming the people procreating are good and kind parents in a relatively comfortable position, not even taking into account the billions born into poverty and the millions of unwanted children born into abuse or orphanages.
Yeah, I've spent some time thinking about this lol
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I suggest you check what videos I have on my channel, then.

This is the only SCP that actually gave me a real and lasting feeling of dread.
I always thought that the part of it being a cognitohazard was just a title. It isn't an anomalous cognitohazard, it is just something that when known is hurtful but in this case just because of the dread.
I thought this because the article makes it very clear that there has never been a report from or for the afterlife, Roger's the first and seemingly the only one.
So for someone to be able to determine that 2718 only happens when known, it should be needed to have more reports or accounts of what the afterlife is. If I recall correctly, there is no place in that particular skip that tells that there are more or different versions or reports of the afterlife.
Then 2718 is very real, but it is best to not divulge it because there is nothing practical to do about it.
i could do wit some more light hearted scps. maybe a short video for those eyeballs on rollers or one dedicated to 999
the eye things are amazing yes please

Wait this no reddit
One of my favourite entries, thanks for covering this
I have to ask though: if this SCP affects only those that know of it and believe in it then how was Roger affected by it? From what i can tell he did not know what awaited him after death but experienced it nonetheless. This can only mean that either Roger had some prior belief that this would be what happens after death or that this actually is what happens after death regardless if you believe in it or not. Or maybe its just a mistake on the writers part.
My read on it is that the whole cognitohazardous nature of this SCP is either a ruse or is descriptive of the contagious nature of existential dread. Either way, they buried it because the more people think about it, the more they fear it.
As I said it a bit earlier, while the concept of this terrifying, the files about it lacks too much of informations to be sure of anything : how can they be 100% sure of everything they say, based on only one case ?
it can be said that roger is simply the first person in which it manifested. like patient zero of a disease
To me, roger haven't bealived nothing so he experienced what he knew... which is existence... but thats a horrible thing if you cannot move and you just get tortured...
cause they made it the fuck up
I wonder how doctor bright would describe the time between his death and when someone picked up his stone
Hes just in the necklace HE doesn't die the person holding the necklace does
@@darkwingduck3636 Note it said the time where no one is using it like it’s a new fresh body we know he doesn’t go through this process so for all we know we can be like sleep just black for a little while and then boom you’re in the new body
This is one of the scariest scps to think about🤔
I’d really love for this to be what actually happens after death in the SCP universe. It leaves open the possibility for something really cool as apposed to just another scary ACP anomaly.
You say that, but could you imagine afterlife inside 096's stomach? Or being consciously aware of the blood on its hands/mouth/body? The pool of blood underneath it? The sample they collect to identify you...
...it's rough if you go out the wrong way.
I've been listening to this channel for the last 2 weeks. Found you guys randomly and it's become my morning barn work background track. This one is an easy top 3
The scariest part is when he tells you that it’s a cognitohazard and it only becomes your afterlife if you know about it. Then you wish you hadn’t watched the video

This SCP series is excellent. I really enjoy the universe and creativity of the SCPverse
watch this while being high to exponentially increase your fear of dying
Doing that, and while the idea is scary, I get hyperlogical when high, and for his description to be true, our brain would have to reactivate, which we know to be impossible.
I love this one!
It can be interpreted in dozens of different ways (you only need to read to some comments to prove it) and somehow transforms something I came up as kid into one of the most disturbing works in the entire site.
this has always been one of my greatest fears that you just occupy your body after death and feel all the horror of a body decaying and the need for things you can never again have.
There's one SCP that I can't find for the life of me that delves into a world which is implied to be the afterlife where there's giant humanoids that step on you as a way of saying hello (you recover instantaneously afterwards) a massive bloody orgy and so on.
I vaguely recall the words "Notes from down under or Notes from below'' I hope it rings any bells since I would love to read it again
Wtf lmao
Very helpful thank

Wait so since it is classified as an scp doesn’t that mean the pestilence is true and that the doctor’s cure is merciful?

No more body to be conscious of.
Sleep.
@@cassandrabelyeu2419 nope. He was still aware 14 years after his death and still felt his body even after it had rotted away and passed through the digestive systems of animals that were eaten by other animals. In fact the sensation only grew.

Bruh, there should've been a serious cognitohazard warning before the video started.
I mean, I totally don't believe this-
Man, this is scarier than most horror movies nowadays.
I believe that rogers (idk the spelling) experienced that after life because of his way of dying...
Alone and rotting for 14 years before the foundation found him and bring him back to life
