Not only all of that, but they pumped it full of drugs to get it to go back to sleep, it coughed, puked, moved its arm so it wasn't lying on it and fell back asleep high off its gourd.
So a good lazy sunday morning.
@@rowanjones5562we should all be so lucky
Humans are not Monkeys and this creature is not an extraterrestrial.
@SurvivorPrepper1776 True... Humans are much less smart than monkeys.
Monkeys wouldn't be dumb enough to build a theme park in a giant monster's guts, do I really need to provide any more evidence than that?
The creepiest part of this is how children are naturally frightened of going into the pit and how the corporation had to put so much effort into making seem OK.

I love how know one realizes that the humidity percentage is how much of the air is water so this means it’s underwater. But yeah, I work in a warehouse in Georgia and I wholeheartedly agree
Update: thanks to everyone who has helped learn what humidity actually is because I was misinformed in school.
@@robo-joe6111 Humity is how much water the air can hold, so 100% humidity means that the air cannot hold anymore water.

horrific flesh pit: "i sleep"
13 dollar bottle of water: "real shit?"
Real shit.
@@buggi_zak 15 dolla 0.5 liter wata battal
That's probably the most realistic part out of all of this
That's bullshit, water bottles are usually 17 dollars
Better be some high grade water, from the fuckin abomination or someshit, 13 dollars for a half litre is a scam and is infinitely worse than anything in the creature
The 38 people returning to the Pit is a lot more tragic than sinister actually. According to Trevor's QnA from November 2021 they were just survivors who rushed back to desperately search for loved ones and friends who were still trapped (and likely already dead) in the Pit.
That's something I like about the disaster. Ultimately the monster didn't really do anything wrong or malicious. The 2007 tragedy was all our own fault. It choked on water pouring into its lungs because our equipment failed, then got sick and threw up because we filled it drugs to make it stop coughing. None of which would've happened if park management hadn't extended operating hours.
All those people died because of human error, not the Lovecraftian horror beneath the Earth.
It was just a creature that no one would know about if humans didnt decide to mess with it. Even the monsters inside it were pretty much just protecting their host.
One thing I'm still curious about is, was nobody who attended the Fourth of July celebrations offered, just, their money back? Cuz it seems like a lot of this could've been avoided if the company just gave refunds and coupons like candy on Halloween.
Imagine you're taking a nap and suddenly you cough after what you think is accidentally inhaling some spit, and then realize you can't close your mouth and then suddenly you puke. All this while you're still groggy af because you were just sleeping.
Honestly, it would be easy for me to assume I was dreaming, shift my position a little, and go back to sleep.

Imagine knowing someone in your family or friends circle who went to an orgy at the mystery flesh pit…imagine your SO cheated on you by diving in the pit! Smh

@@Wired_User if your SO cheated on you in the springs, then they are not your SO anymore. With family you could gain new family “members”, your friends can get new spouses. The amniotic fluid is not only an aphrodisiac, it is also a very powerful tool to bond people after the “action”. If only it isn’t highly addictive and gives people withdrawal, it would be the next big thing in finding life partner
"Saved her from the wildlife that day, that night how we conceived you in the fondue"
You did what to moms what?!
Much like deadly incidents in real life, the flesh pit catastrophe was the culmination of many smaller failures and poor decisions snowballing into a disaster greater than the sum of its parts. It all lends a vital touch of believability to an otherwise fantastical event.
MFP has excellent immersion and world building in general, and the creator deserves so much props for that.
The incident report really has the feeling of nuclear/industrial accident report.
The only thing missing is the time getting more and more specific as the accident begins, it usually looks like:
"On x day, this system was shut down for maintenance, and left out of service"
"8 pm a shift change happened"
"10:25 pm power failed"
"10:27:35 vibration begins"
"10:27:42 the sound of supports failing is heard"
"10:27:55 the structure collapses"
Fr! During the report of the catastrophe, I was thinking about Chernobyl the whole time. Truly an example of humanity's mistakes
Yup. When you look into actual cases like this irl (minus the flesh pit) you realize that it was something that was gonna happen sooner or later because people ignored the early signs
About halfway through reading his page on it, I decided I felt worse for the Pit than the people who went in there. Even if the individual tunneling was relatively tiny, imagine all of these basically parasites digging bits out of you, putting stuff in you and even doing the deed inside you. Not fun
Yeah, its basically like we’re Mono to this creature; we gave it pneumonia (the rain going into the lungs), made it cough, gave it a sore throat (visitor center is the ‘frog in the throat’ and the poles, as well as mining being general pain), and even made the thing puke
I hate to tell you this, but there are probably teeny tiny little organisms doing the deed on/in you while you read this...
I think it’s interesting because that IS what’s happens inside of us. I believe most if not all microorganisms inside of us reproduce asexually but they still do that. We have bacteria eating our teeth every day and bacteria inside of our body digging around as they do. They were simply advanced capitalist bacteria that gave the guy a cold

Things like this are proof that Hollywood isn't out of ideas. People are just scared to take a risk.
Or don't have the funding?
@@trippy0752 that kind of aligns with what I'm saying. People are scared to back a project like this because it wouldn't be a "safe" bet.
I wish they were more courageous, it's like how scp articles could make the perfect shows or even full length films and yet no one even tries to adapt them
@@trippy0752 it may happen eventually. People do adapt them into games and short films right now so it’s headed into that direction. We saw a few Creepypasta get a TV adaption and (not the best examples narratively, but still something that started online) Slender Man and Five Nights at Freddys have become mainstream and made into movies. We’ve even seen viral Twitter threads adapted. TVs shows and musical artists have started using the ARG/unfiction format to advertise. Hollywood has started looking more and more into internet creations for ideas. I think it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the norm to adapt internet stories, creations, and other viral media.
I don't agree with that semtiment, some movies are just easy cash, then you have movies like Lamb or Underwater, at least recently.
This is so fun, the immediate reaction is always "Why would people EVER go near that for fun"

Well, if you didn't know people have guns to shoot bears and cougars. And I hate when people use 'people' as if every fucker wants to go spelunking through the deepest caves in the world.
I like the reason things went wrong sound like something completely realistic. Marketing/customer service folks allowing people to stay in the park after hours, trying to do the whole "customer is always right" thing but not aware of security or engineering aspects that make it dangerous, while you have more work crews on the other side trying to make numbers and unaware that there's already a power strain. Classic case of the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing, and is more realistic then some CEO purposely risking lives for a few more bucks.
i mean both are pretty damn realiistic

This would have been the perfect 80s horror movie. The corporate cynicism, the bodyhorror, the satire. I could have seen John Carpenter direct this.
They actually seldom went after corporations in film in the 80's. That's a 90's like with Fight Club and such.
@@coreym162 I see where you are getting at. But 90s movies like fight club hated corporations and consumerism in general. The 80s on the on the other hand had a weird hard on for the evil MegaCorp like in Robocop, Aliens, Terminator, and Blade Runner. The mining company that controls the flesh pit will fit in perfectly with weyland-yutani and Omnicorp.
Hahaha that's actually a pretty accurate assessment, so a blend of They Lives timeless corporate/political cynicism/the body horror of thing..with some of the satire of big trouble?
Carpenters movies always had a cynicism about the Reagan nightmare they lived in, especially NY/LA, starmans like his only optimistic movie
Idk though he got incredibly tired of Hollywood after nobody appreciated his movies at the time, maybe it could've been a low budget classic
Cronenberg! “In the vein of Scanners and Videodrome” could be the tag line
@@thecoldglassofwatershow "From the Director of 'Scanners' and 'Videodrome' comes a deep foray into a world of terror..."
This also works as a horror story for giant flesh pits, as they have to worry about their body being used commercially as a tourist attraction and hundreds of people every day exploring through their insides, taking parts of them as souvenirs and to use for themselves, and ultimately having no control over what these hoards of people do inside of them and how they treat the various parts of them that are keeping them alive

I gotta respect Wendigoon's commitment here. My man spent hours saying the word "copepod" wrong without once taking the 10 second luxury of looking up how it's pronounced. That's dedication.
Chrystals can have a resonant frequency, basically they make sound at a very precise rate (which is how quartz clocks work, it's super interesting) so my theory is that the contingency measure involved running power through that mineral and it emitted a certain sound probably outside of the human range of hearing that made the creature go into a dormant state again. Could be that the rock came from a mountain or something that got struck by lightning while the "dragon" was in the area.
To be fair, if people built an entire giant shopping mall inside me, filmed freaking...adult funtimes films inside of me and sold them in the gift shop of said mall, AND named parts of my anatomy things like "God's Mistake"...I'd be kinda pissed off too!

The fact that the Caddo people's story of sacred medicine water is a legitimate story told by the Caddo people and the creator of the flesh pit ARG wasn't necessarily even referencing it when he first came out on the subreddit is some of the best pieces of storytelling that i've seen in a while

That price gouged water becomes even more egregious when you find that, in one of the poster, there's a note that warns guests to drink more water as the pit is "known to leech water from guests".
There’s another notice where they tell you not to bring outside food and water. It figures they force you to throw away your water as you enter the park gates just like any other park that will require you to walk long distances. People are going to be forced to buy inflated waters. *sigh*

This is one of my comfort videos. I don't know why. I rewatch it every few months, especially if I'm home alone. I think it speaks to how well this story is crafted, and how well Wendi retells it, that it really feels like a tour and review of a real park
I live in Dallas and I make trips with my sister to midland every once in a while for business. The biggest thing that intrigued me about this story is the man worked in the oil industry. When we drive towards and into midland, all you can see are oil fields. Don’t know if this adds any credibility to the story?

I love how it seems like no one would actually go to a place like this but then remember that warning like this are the same ones you read before you take pictures of Buffalo and wolves while bathing in hot springs created by magma boiling the water underneath you at Yellowstone. And don’t walk off the path or else you might crack through the ground and fall into boiling water. Oh yeah and sometimes everything catches on fire cause that’s just how trees breed out here. And also sometimes it all floods so severely we have to rebuild everything. And everything smells like rotten food because of the bacterial colonies and sulfur fumes.
I love that some of the biggest details are things like making the accidents that have happened exactly the sort of thing people would do today, like the circus performers doing a tightrope routine over the freaking maw, is precisely the sort of dumb shit people do today. It adds immersion to me since it’s set in a version of real life.
Another note on how massive this thing is: it takes six months to inhale and six months to exhale. Visitors were only allowed in the "lung" structures during Winter and Spring during its "inhale" cycle.

Rewatching this before I watch mark’s playthrough of the game. I’m always so blown away by the scale of this, both the story and the creature
It's funny that in your intro, you open with "horror settings that are familiar settings" as like...the vanilla. The start. Because, at least as far as movies go, horror was usually about being a fish out of water. You go to the black lagoon. You go to Dracula's castle. You go somewhere far from home, from which you may not return. Which I feel is intrinsically linked to human curiosity and exploration.
HOWEVER, many people cite Night of the Living Dead as one of the first movies to popularize danger closer to home. The horror could happen in small-town america. Domestic terror, probably in response to the likes of Manson. The slasher genre really took this and ran with it.
I agree that setting and atmosphere is probably the most important aspect of horror. But I think that it's easier to make something unfamiliar scary, than it is to twist the familiar into being scary. That's why I tend to love stuff like FNAF, or haunted dolls, or corrupted TV stations, or zombie outbreaks. It makes home feel unsafe....(Omg I'm having an emotional breakthrough about my childhood rn)
The creator has since confirmed that the people who crawled back into the pit were attempting to rescue loved ones still inside.
oh my god that's so horrifying and sad
@@wywrd_mtnt fr
fuck that's tragic.
Unofficial, but it's too good to not mention (and is my personal headcanon): At least some of the people that went back in were addicted to the amniotic fluid and wanted one last fix.
(Read that somewhere, I take no credit for it)
Aw that's a shame. I actually think the idea that these people WANT to go back in there makes it far more creepy and mysterious. The idea of people willingly do something that moments ago they were fighting for their lives to avoid is a trope I really like. It raises so many questions about what has happened to their minds and what other forces are at play that are beyond our comprehension.
Wanting to go back to rescue loved ones is obviously still horrifying but it's in a more of a real-world tragic kind of way as opposed to an unknowable/incomprehensible horror kind of way. But then maybe this whole thing is better if we just consider it a huge living creature rather than anything supernatural with any kind of psychic abilities or anything. I guess it depends whether you're more interested in "what if we discovered this new huge life form?" vs "What if we discovered a god-like Great Old One style entity that is unfathomably old and utterly alien to us?". I'm a big fan of cosmic horror with supernatural elements, so I'm more drawn to the latter, but both options are still very Lovecraftian so I'm a fan either way.
i feel bad for the pit creature. imagine just vibing out and then the bacteria in your body start building an amusement park in your stomach.
i'd be an accommodating host
Honestly, you'd be unlikely to notice, unless, they showed up in the wrong place en masse, where you immune system would annihilate them.
That’s close to the plot of an episode of Rick and morty
Tfw you get salmonella
@@llewelynshingler2173 you'd be pretty likely to notice if they built a big metal structure around your jaw to keep you from closing your mouth, like people did with the pit 😨
If anyone is curious, the background music is Six Seasons by Unicorn Heads.
THANK YOU
I love how plausible the writing and scenario is for the incident report. It sounds like every incident report i have ever read. A couple ordinary, but poorly thought out decisions meet with a series of only slightly adverse events in such a way that turn into a cascading shit-show
I love that despite cosmic horrors and the existence of a dragon the size of a fucking state, the true horror was human negligence driven by profit.

You missed the artist's rendition of what the monster would look like if it werent underground, which is a skyscraper tall starfish with an impenetrable flat shell on top

@@es0teric76 From what I’ve read most of them were close to placebo, and had very inconsistent effects from person to person.
There were a couple compounds that looked hopeful but are unresearched, and other than that just amphetamines, which come with a bunch of nasty effects.

rewatching this, the most striking thing is the insanely high levels of dad energy that wendigoon gives off when he gets outraged about the overpriced theme park water bottles
"my word"
No, Wendichild, you can't have a water bottle. Look at those prices.
Welcome to Disney.
Welcome to Hell.
omfg rewatch that bit and notice the hand towels right below the water bottles. "Hand Towel - $22.00 USD when avail." ummm.... when available? oh my the implications.
Because the price is bullshit
God I haven't heard anyone speak of this place in so long. In 86, our graduating class went there. Thank God I was 18 at the time. I met my wife there.
Please don’t say you went to the orgy spring
The idea of going into a *living* creature and treating its body like an amusement park is pretty disturbing. On the other hand, I’m literally imagining this thing to be like the Alaskan Bullworm from SpongeBob, and how Sandy just casually strolled in. It makes it *slightly* less creepy 😂
I'd love to see a fake documentary of this concept. Victims with slightly healed digestion wounds, footage of the inside as it collapses, acted out footage of events they couldn't capture such as the calcified performers, etc.
imagine one of the testimonies being from one of the brains connected to a computer, and before the camera crew walks in you could see lines upon lines of "kill me" getting frantically deleted by its caretaker
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan stop
@@deltap6967 :)
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan so good!!
I love pseudo documentaries. This one would certainly be excellent.
I love the horrific yet slightly comedic tone this entire world building has
Yes.
They def based it in reality and especially the way humans will use whatever materials they can get their hands on to make profit. Knowing what people use from animals or deep from the earth in our foods or mass production; I could see humans going into a live creature just to use their body parts or fluids for profits. Eerily based in reality and therefore so much more enjoyable
the guy who made this is not only a genius, but you can tell he's having fun with it.
Ah yes the "pleasure domes"

Our first date was at God's Mistake
"coincidentally, that's where you were also conceived!"
I'd probably brag if I was concieved in a place like that.
@@sarahni in the Q&A section of the website, someone asked if there was a chapel there and apparently there was! People did get married there. So, we meet for our first date, make sweet sweet love, and get married all in the same afternoon!
I would love to see a romcom about that, called smth like “Desires of the Flesh”
i love fictional “monster” names that are just “hey this thing sucks and we hate it” like natures mockery or amorphous shame

I see nature's mockery and just think of GHE, lol
Nature's unwanted child

@@billiejeanslover8929 no thats just one of the activities not the monster names
I would feel bad for everyone who died in this disaster, but honestly, they knew exactly what they were getting into when they went shopping in a place called "The Mystery Fleshpit"
As a person who loves to world build, this is literally everything I dream of doing. Like. Creating a giant universe with so many different parts to it that are so in depth and shit. And this man did it. Man, I wish I could be in his shoes tbh.
it took me all of about 20 seconds to realize that the "disaster" of 2007 is basically triggering the flesh pit's gag reflex
Yea its basically if a human choked on too much water, coughed and threw up a little then smacked their elbow on a table.
@@roguevector1268 and someone gave you a shot of drugs
It is dread-inducing how all these deaths and devastation was caused by this thing just coughing and moving a bit.
@@jocosesonata imagine if the damn thing stood up. It would easily be visible from space.
@@Mikeinator_
And space only cause earth would probably be fucked by all that mass moving out of the ground at once, making probably thousands of square kilometers of ground collapsing kilometers down
On the good side, probably it cant because it must get sustaintment from geothermal means, so getting out of the ground and probably not being able to go back in would just be suicide for it
This whole thing, in simplest terms, essentially boils down to:
“The underground super creature was completely fine. But suddenly, people happened.”
People: *happen*
Underground Super Creature: Oh no! Anyway...
@@mira-mun2076 *cough*
Nonono, the underground super creature was fine until CAPITALISM happened. The Native American people were keeping it sleeping, after all
@@ohshiditsgriff2793 you really think if this happened at the Soviet Union we wouldn't have fucked it up too? I know we would've done it even worse
@@theexiledrussian622 I'm saying capitalism as a joke, and a reference to the fact that opening the park was mainly for profit. If it were literally anything but a spiritual area for Native Americans, people probably would have died regardless of whatever it was used for. Though, i maintain that an amusement park is one of the worst and deadliest options.
I always come back to this video, it's really become a comfort video for me and i believe is the first video i found from Wendigoon, probably around when it came out. I was also obsessed with the Mandela Catalogue and finding your videos on it was so exciting. Cute watching this for the 4th or so time when you're so grateful and happy for having 430k subs. Look at you now, almost 3.5 million. We need more creators like Wendigoon! Thanks for doing what you do!
The way that the creator realistically comodified this cosmic horror is incredible
Imagine being the creature and finding out that humans built a dance club inside of you
I’m sure Adventure Time had an episode about that
@@CannonZeroKiryu they did
Maybe thats what ibs is for humans, party parasites
Not even just that. They built FREAKING sex chambers inside it. I would be absolutely outraged
When you're casually sleeping and furless monkeys start building things inside you
I love how realistically depicted the accident is. Considering this whole thing is treated like an amusement park of sorts, it makes sense that its downfall would be due to human negligence and not the creature itself. It's like a Defunctland episode but with...meat.
And blood, god how it bleeds
@@DefinitelyFroggyDioBrando imagine amusement park selfies of visitors covered in that cave blood
**eeugh**
Man, petition for Kevin to make a April Fool's video about the Fleshpit for Defunctland!
I love how it's real
this actually happened though right? I thought I remember people talking about this happening around 2007
apparently an official video game adaptation was on kickstarter but was canceled by Trevor and he stated he wouldn't endorse a game as long as he lives. there is an unofficial game "Living Abyss" and an official TTRPG that should release soon so that's pretty cool.
would be a sick game though. shame that Trevor is against it.
I wonder why he wouldn’t want a game about it. Did he give a reason?
I keep coming back to this video since the amount of world building put into the story blow me away every time. Truely an inspirational project for me.
I heard this described once as, you lie down for a nap and when you wake up, ants have built a colony in your lungs, stomach, and bones. Of course you would panic. At the bare minimum, you would start a coughing and trying to expel the ants from your body.
Reminds me of that one video of a girl who accidentally drank an ant infested sprite can, eugh
That is literally terrifying 💀
Shouldn't have slept with an open mouth smh
@@davidkonevky7372 i did that a month ago, my friend took my experience and wrote a story about it for school which was pretty cool
It's more like if sentient bacteria turned your body into a amusement park
The clown cake thing is absolutely horrifying, imagine just being melted into goo, but your still alive, in agony, pain, and suffering, and then getting frozen into a tourist attraction.
Pretty much being springtrap
@@robertz.5199 What’s that?
@@_Cato_ An animatronic of Five Nights at Freddy's that was a man who got into a robot and got smashed by the systems so hard he basically turned into a rotten body mass that can't die inside the suit. Also, because the local was turned into a horror attraction the animatronic he was inside of was used as the main attraction, so yeah, checks out
@@robertz.5199 yea but instead of being fused together with 49 other people he was impaled from all angles and revived 30 years after his death
@@scotl6995 I like to think he was actually alive all that time. Not revived He just laid there, suffering, for thirty years. Pretty deserved, I think.
I love that at first you'd think "why would anyone want to make a tourist trap inside the guts of a lovecraftian entity?" but then you remember that Yellowstone and Florida exist. Turns out the true Lovecraftian horror is actually unchecked late-stage capitalism.
love your long videos. i'm constantly on youtube listening to things while i make crafts, and your videos are some of the best!
The most unrealistic part of the story is Anodyne actually getting prosecuted.
I mean, no matter how rich and slimy you are, the court of public opinion will always be the most brutal and people needed someone to blame
To be fair, I cant recall the last corporation that fucked up so bad the Government was literally prepared to go nuclear to solve the issue, so exceptional circumstance.
@@corvid.monarchy4875 they probably selected a few scapegoats but the majority of people responsible probably escaped prosecution either because they were wealthy and influential or because the goverment needed their expertise to run their own projects regarding the pit
The last sign at 1:08:29 has the anodyne logo on the bottom right but with the new name of 'permian basin recovery corporation' which reads as rebranding to me. I don't think they really got punished
@@corvid.monarchy4875 if that was true BP oil and Sackler wouldn't be going strong in 2022.
Bruh, this would be the equivalent of an ant colony building their nest inside of your body as you napped. I too would probably be pissed if I woke up to that...
ant colonies are massive tho
And without even paying rent
@@lawbringermain9942 okay, so maybe tardigrades making an amusement park in your throat
isnt that just what bacteria and viruses do when you catch a cold lol
I mean idk about you but I’m pretty pissed whenever I get a cold XD
Great video! I especially appreciate your simple summaries of the various events--it made the lore very understandable and helped keep the video's pace smooth. Thanks!
When authors put in redacted documents and name things like [CONTINGENCY MEASURE], it just scratches an itch for me.
Imagine getting a letter that said “it bleeds. God, how it bleeds”
"If it bleeds, we can kill it"
If I got a letter that read that I'd be like "put that shit the fuck back and never think about it again."
if it was real in today’s time, the military would probably want to weaponize it or turn it into a government base. MERICA 🤪✊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kinda like "the CSA" from a few years ago, a "documentary" from another universe that just...popped its way over to ours somehow, and its played entirely straight, just casually mentioning things that we have NO CLUE ABOUT because it didnt happen in our universe, but EVERYONE there knows it, so they have no need to explain it...
