2:55
Douglas is one of many who found a
2:57
new life through Seattle's Union Gospel Mission. I
3:00
was living on the streets when I heard
3:02
this guy talk about how he got clean
3:04
and sober at the mission, so I decided
3:06
to give it a try. I could feel
3:09
something working inside of me, and I knew
3:11
I was getting better. Today, my number one
3:13
goal is to stay clean and sober. To

6:33
Despite receiving emergency medical care, John
6:35
McAclar was declared deceased 16 hours
6:37
after his admission to hospital. While
6:40
the cause of death is unclear as of this writing,
6:42
anomalous influences are suspected following the
6:44
recovery of the victim's personal cell
6:46
phone and an autopsy performed by
6:48
Foundation Medical Staff. Addendum
6:51
1. Forensic report. Phone
6:54
notes. Yeah.
7:20
Those tidbits of yours? They
7:22
did absolutely nothing. I just
7:25
had to rush myself to the ER for the second
7:27
time this week. They took
7:29
one look at me and rushed me inside for treatment. The
7:32
doctors were picking scabs and dead skin off
7:34
for hours before lathering me with enough lidocaine
7:36
to paralyze a horse. They
7:39
said if I scratched anymore, I'd
7:41
be shredding into the literal bone.
7:45
Look, I understand you're just trying to
7:47
do your job. And I know you're
7:49
not my doctor. But
7:52
can you please do
7:54
something about this, Shelly? I'll
7:56
make sure to schedule another appointment. Hey,
8:04
Shelley. I woke
8:06
up this morning to a three-inch millipede
8:08
crawling inside my mouth. I
8:11
could feel its shell swishing around
8:13
in my spit and
8:16
the dry taste of wriggling
8:18
little legs crawling along my
8:21
tongue. I
8:23
actually felt like I
8:25
was gonna wrench when it started
8:27
rubbing against my gums. I
8:31
had to rush to the bathroom and puke everything out.
8:33
I also managed to
8:35
grip some pesticide in case I need to
8:38
hose something down the sink. But,
8:41
of course, nothing came
8:43
out. Just wretch
8:45
and mucus. Like
8:47
always. I'm
8:50
sure I have the vomit caked outside
8:52
my mouth still, but frankly, I
8:55
don't care enough to clean it. It's
8:57
not worth standing in front of a mirror trying
8:59
to scrape it all off. After
9:02
all, the last thing I want is to
9:04
find a tape or an inch in that
9:07
slimy body inside my eye somewhere while I
9:09
wipe my face. Shelley,
9:18
I really can't eat this anymore. I'm
9:21
constantly suffering. My
9:23
coworkers keep telling me to stop biting my
9:26
nails at work. And
9:28
they won't stop teasing me and saying that
9:30
I'm not hygienic. Whatever. They
9:33
just don't understand that I'm doing it for
9:35
a reason. But
9:38
it's whatever. At
9:41
least the nurses stopped giving me weird
9:43
glances after I started coming in for
9:45
burns instead of claw marks. Speaking
9:48
of coworkers, I've
9:51
had to add another few days off from
9:53
last week's schedule. Everything
9:55
was fine until I
9:57
Saw the fire ants crawling underneath my skin.
10:01
Got so bad on one of the security
10:03
guards had to restrain me was can cause.
10:06
I can. Still,
10:09
Managed to get arrested them
10:11
asked me what a bit
10:13
by some uncomfortable regulate. Drugs
10:17
are still stuck in between my
10:19
software. Yet
10:21
again another reminder to give you
10:23
what I see you again. Your
10:27
picture of me? Game
10:29
shows you are. Here's
10:35
the thing about all the other
10:37

10:39

10:42

10:44
about this would actually. About

counseling and resilience center Hello
15:23
my name is John
15:26
MacGackler And
15:28
I was hoping I could maybe get
15:30
a hold of someone about my upcoming
15:32
appointment. I know you
15:34
guys You guys
15:37
listed down someone named Rahim.
15:39
This is my counselor but
15:43
well, I was hoping to
15:45
change that to Shelly Sorry
15:48
about all this. I fat fingered
15:50
when I was making the selection on the
15:52
screen big hands
15:55
you know Anyway,
15:58
thanks Oh, if
16:02
you need to reach me again, you can just call
16:04
this number again. Or email
16:06
me, I guess. Alright,
16:09
bye. Hi,
16:12
it's John again. You
16:15
know, the guy
16:17
that keeps scheduling all the appointments? I
16:21
was just wondering what a good time
16:23
would be to fix my little
16:25
error from before.
16:28
I know you... Sorry.
16:33
You all keep trying to call, but it's just
16:36
difficult to respond sometimes. Anyway,
16:40
I don't know for him, and I don't think it
16:43
would be a good idea if I saw him. Please
16:46
call me back. Hi,
16:52
John MacCackler here. I
16:55
saw that somebody made that
16:57
change like I asked. That's
17:01
great. I appreciate it.
17:04
I... Oh, please
17:07
excuse me. Alright,
17:19
back. Sorry, I had
17:22
to make a quick trip to the
17:24
bathroom, you know. Not
17:27
pee or anything, no, just to make
17:29
sure I wasn't scratching too much. It's
17:33
the reason I've been trying to get in with you
17:36
guys again. Aw,
17:38
this is awkward. Sorry, I just
17:42
wanted to see if Shelley was around. She
17:45
was going to help me. Thanks.
17:54
Hi again, this is John. Are
17:58
you fucking kidding me here? I've
18:01
been calling you guys like five or six times
18:03
now and none of you ever
18:05
reach out. What's the deal?
18:09
You guys can't just keep calling me at like 2pm
18:12
anymore. I understand
18:14
you. I'll probably work 9 to 5 but
18:16
I'm busy dealing with problems I can't even
18:18
fix on my own. It
18:20
wouldn't even be that bad if you just picked up
18:22
your phones. But no.
18:26
I have to keep fucking suffering until
18:28
somebody calls me Bob. Look,
18:31
I just need to talk to Shelly,
18:33
okay? I
18:35
am absolutely sick of
18:37
asking. All I need
18:40
is just someone who understands.
18:44
Someone who gets me. I'm
18:47
not trying to be creepy, okay? I
18:50
just need help from
18:53
someone! Hi,
18:59
this is John. I'll
19:01
be in at 4 tomorrow. I
19:04
expect a supervisor when I arrive. Hey

to the show. Recorded
20:19
memos. Log begins.
20:28
I... Sorry. You're fine.
20:31
Give me a second. Take your time. I...
20:37
Is it okay if we recorded
20:40
this for my
20:42
sake? I mean... Of course. Whatever
20:45
helps you, John. It
20:48
really would. Okay.
20:53
I think I have everything. You sure? I
20:56
think so now. Okay. Great. I
21:01
heard you had some trouble reaching us. I'm
21:03
really sorry about that. It's
21:06
okay now. I mean,
21:08
I'm pretty mad still. But
21:11
it's fine so long as I can actually, you know,
21:14
speak with someone. Well, I
21:16
appreciate your patience, then. I
21:19
was looking at your record again, and I saw that
21:21
you scheduled this because you were
21:23
experiencing symptoms again. Is this
21:26
correct? Yes. Yes,
21:28
you're right. Looks like you were given
21:30
some medication by your doctor. Have
21:33
you been taking it? Yes, Shelley, I have. And
21:36
I'm telling you, it's not working.
21:38
That's unfortunate. Would you
21:41
mind telling me how it's not working for you? How?
21:45
What do you mean, how? I'm
21:47
just asking a question, John. How
21:50
do you not see them? They're
21:52
everywhere now. Can you point to me
21:54
where? Exactly. Maybe if you can
21:56
show me. I'm showing you! Right now!
21:59
I- Look, I'm even
22:01
scratching them off! John, please,
22:04
take a breath for me. Just
22:06
look, Shelley. I'm telling
22:08
you, they're right here! John, I
22:11
don't see anything. But
22:13
I do! I understand that. And
22:16
I'd like to help, but I need
22:18
you to try and calm down if you
22:20
want to continue. I... I...
22:23
I... I'm sorry. That's
22:25
quite alright. It's why I'm here. Let's
22:27
take a quick break, okay? Log
22:33
on. Log
22:36
begin. Thank
22:42
you, Shelley. I
22:44
really needed that. Not a problem. Like
22:47
I said, it's why I'm here. So
22:55
you can't see them either, right?
22:58
No, John, I can't. And
23:00
I won't be able to. Because
23:03
they don't exist, right?
23:08
Let me ask you a question. How
23:10
do they exist to you? What
23:13
do you see when they appear? I...
23:17
I see them as many things, you
23:19
know. Such as? Well,
23:24
often I see ants. Large
23:27
ones with big, meaty
23:29
jaws. Sometimes
23:31
I see spiders and worms as well.
23:35
Really, the worms only appear in the
23:37
light. Right underneath
23:39
my eyes. I see. Does
23:42
it hurt? Sometimes it does.
23:45
I guess... I guess
23:47
it just sort of depends. Would
23:50
you be able to elaborate on that? I
23:52
really don't know how to explain it. I
23:55
guess it just depends on my mood or
23:59
what I'm seeing. you know spiders
24:02
hurt the most especially
24:05
when they like bite
24:07
down and is this
24:09
separate from your injuries are
24:12
you feeling this pain even in spots where you
24:14
haven't been bitten I don't
24:16
know I see do
24:21
you see them them the insects
24:26
like right now yes I
24:31
well not
24:33
really it's hard
24:35
for me to find them when I'm
24:38
actively looking sometimes I can
24:40
tell you're bothered would you
24:42
be able to explain why
24:44
explain only if you're able to I
24:47
mean how about
24:51
you live a life where everyone tells you that
24:54
your mind is wrong I mean
24:59
seriously everywhere I
25:01
go everything I
25:03
do it's always the same
25:07
I know my reality is real and
25:10
I know that what I see aren't just these illusions
25:13
that everyone makes them out to be I've
25:16
never not been able to trust my eyes you know
25:18
I understand and
25:20
then one day you wake up and people
25:23
tell you to ignore all that and depend like
25:25
nothing's happening it's frustrating
25:28
and it's exhausting right yes
25:31
you're exactly right I'm
25:34
tired Shelley I'm
25:36
tired of having to attend these appointments of

26:00
I'm about to
26:02
size my palm. And it's brown,
26:06
clinging to the side of my finger. Mm-hmm.
26:09
It has two massive pincers in the front.
26:12
It's four legs around its abdomen. It's
26:15
crawling. A beetle? No.
26:19
No, it's far too large. I...
26:22
I think it might be a... It's

32:30
Our appointment is not until tomorrow. Can
32:32
you wait until then? No. Shelley,
32:34
you don't get it. It's
32:37
bad. I swear I just blinked
32:39
and I saw a bunch of termites just pure from
32:41
my glass. I'm scratching
32:43
myself to the bone now. I
32:46
need your help right now. I'm
32:49
going to die. John, if
32:51
you need emergency help, please contact the

33:24
I'm contacting the police right now. They can
33:26
help you. Shelley, why do you

33:32
I'm in pain right now? Help
33:35
me. Help me. I'm
33:38
blocking this number. Please do not come near
33:40
me. You fucking cunt.
33:43
Is this how it is? I
33:45
knew you were a lying scumbag. I
33:49
swear you will regret this.
33:53
I'm sorry. Vogue
34:00
begins. Recording
34:02
begins with the camera on top of a dining room
34:04
table. Two chairs, still
34:06
pushed in, somewhat obstruct the camera's view of
34:09
John MacAquilah as he paces frantically from one
34:11
side to another. He
34:13
stands in front of a sofa and a TV currently playing
34:15
the Channel 16 news. No
34:18
audio can be heard. John
34:20
whispers frantically as he continues pacing for
34:23
several seconds. He
34:25
stops mid-step, another mutter followed
34:27
by the words Shelly, before he grabs the
34:29
temples of his forehead. John
34:32
yells in apparent pain as he begins to scratch
34:34
his arms. Ragged marks
34:36
appear along the surface of his flesh. He
34:39
remains frozen in place as the barren scarred
34:41
skin becomes red from the friction. Blood
34:44
drips down from his elbows and onto the floor. He
34:47
wipes sweat off his brow before stripping his clothes.
34:50
First the shirt, then the pants,
34:52
and finally his undergarments. After
34:55
a brief moment of struggle he stands nude in front of
34:57
the camera. Along
34:59
his upper torso several jagged cuts and bruises
35:02
are visible. Severely bleeding
35:04
human bite marks along the left and right thighs
35:06
are also visible from this angle. John
35:09
retreats behind the camera and remains there for 34 seconds. He
35:13
soon returns with a chef's knife, a metal
35:15
fork and spoon, cleaning disinfectant,
35:18
a large pot of boiling water, and
35:20
a pair of slip joint pliers. He
35:24
haphazardly throws them across the floor and looks back at
35:26
the camera with a wide grin. John
35:29
mouths another comment before retrieving the chef's knife
35:31
from his side. He holds
35:33
the sharpened blade towards his left wrist. He
35:36
smiles before sliding the knife across, cutting
35:39
a deep laceration into the skin and tendons.
35:42
He tips his wrist towards the floor as blood begins
35:44
to drip and flow into a pool beneath. John
35:47
chuckles. The bleeding continues as
35:49
he makes another cut on his opposite arm. The
35:52
blood pulls further as John grabs the fork
35:55
and spoon on his opposite side. He
35:57
breathes deeply before plunging the spoon into his left wrist.
35:59
left eye. He rocks his
36:02
head backward as the spoon pierces into the
36:04
damaged socket. He twists and
36:06
yanks the spoon out, causing what remains of his
36:08
eye to fling onto the table. He
36:11
then turns toward the fork, poking the edge of
36:13
it underneath his index fingernail and quickly pulls backward.
36:17
The fingernail snaps off effortlessly, revealing
36:19
barren bleeding flesh underneath. Despite
36:22
the apparent pain, John grabs the pliers and
36:24
holds them firm toward his toe. He
36:27
continues clamping down before inexplicably twisting
36:30
the pliers, causing the big
36:32
toe to contort and dislocate at a sixty degree
36:34
angle. He reels backward once
36:36
more, pausing briefly as he drops the pliers
36:38
onto the floor. He begins
36:41
to speak, but the camera cannot
36:43
discern anything beyond him mouthing drown. He
36:46
grabs the boiling water sitting nearby and pours
36:49
it along his face and upper torso. Hot
36:52
steam races around his body. His
36:54
arms writhe in pain, but he does not attempt
36:56
to brush the water off. John
36:59
can now barely be seen in the video. Nothing
37:02
occurs for approximately thirty seconds as the
37:04
steam dissipates. John remains
37:06
motionless in front of the dining room table. Suddenly
37:10
John begins smiling again. His
37:13
teeth, which can now be seen on the camera
37:15
footage, are stained red from blood. He
37:18
utters another phrase, but only Shelly
37:21
can be discerned. John
37:23
frowns just as the video camera falls down.
37:26
Recording ceases abruptly. The agains.
37:32
Addendum 2. Update On
37:35
August 1, 2022, Foundation scientists were
37:37
able to perform a complete autopsy
37:39
of SCP-7160. One
37:43
week later, on August 6, 2022, a
37:46
subsequent report on the anomaly's corpse
37:48
was logged and stored within Site-119.
37:51
While this report does confirm several key
37:53
facts about SCP-7160's death,
37:56
several other discoveries were also uncovered.
38:00
From Sep Seven One Six Zero
38:02
report. Besides
38:04
the injuries, Scp Seventy
38:06
One Sixty possess. Certain
38:08
you need. Peculiarities,
38:11
For example, when we extracted
38:13
tissue samples for examination doctor
38:15
Riders denied discovered the presence
38:17
of distinct markings along the
38:20
inside of his skin. And
38:22
various internal scrapes along the cranium.
38:26
Speaking. Of the skull, deeper
38:28
scans and skills and some large
38:30
bacon tumble systems terminating points throughout
38:33
the hands least and open orifices.
38:35
The marrow and calcified shell the
38:37
victims hollowed bones seems to have
38:40
created the perfect ecosystem for whatever
38:42
was living with. Additional.
38:45
After penetrating will have the
38:47
dermis, we saw that the
38:50
interstitial was completely drained of
38:52
fluid. While ordinarily this may
38:54
be the result of rare
38:56
genetic circumstances orders severe external
38:58
damage, this particular cases not
39:01
believed to have resulted in
39:03
structural abnormalities to the body.
39:05
rather analysis tissues and the
39:07
surrounding area has since been
39:09
found to contain nearly invisible
39:12
chitinous dust in it's place.
39:15
Following Sep Seven one six
39:17
years autopsy, another investigation into
39:19
John mechanical or smartphone was
39:21
initiated. Upon further analysis
39:23
Foundation researchers confirmed that the last
