SCP-783, also known as There Was A Crooked Man or simply The Crooked Man, is an antagonist in the SCP Foundation series. The entity is completely unseen, and the only visual element of its presence is the twisted, broken and elongated form of other people and buildings the entity has interacted with. SCP-783's crimes are done solely in Temby, Engla...
SCP-793 is a completely unseen entity, though due to the aforementioned nursery rhyme and state of the SCP's victims, it is very possible that SCP-793 is a man with a broken and elongated body. It stalks victims in Temby, by making its victims bodies bones break and bend in unrealistic ways, as well as pulling their limbs out leaving them permanently elongated and disfigured while still alive. After the victims are disfigured, their cartilage will quickly heal, locking them in their deformed and twisted states. The agony of this process will usually leave the victim in a comatose or vegetative state if they aren't already killed. The anomalous effects of SCP-783 can extend to even simple reports documented about it, with this being seen as text becoming jagged and misaligned.
A mass grave was discovered full of SCP-783's deformed victims, where an SCP researcher fell in and sank in the bodies. A D-class was later assigned to enter the grave to find the missing researcher, while being tethered so he could be pulled out of the grave. As the D-class climbed further down, he felt a sensation of vertigo, as if gravity shifted vertically, and needed to climb "down" to go "up", which led to a parallel world similar to Temby, but with no occupants. Going too far in a direction would "reset" the D-class to the opposite side of the town.
Some elongated victims in this world were seen, as well as a mutated, tree-like entity which was shown to be the missing researcher but now in this form. The D-class tried to fire his gun at it, but to no effect, and was apparently killed by this creature. When the D-class was being pulled out, a very stretched out version of his arm began to come out of the mass grave.
Dr. Lafayette after detonating several explosives around the town decided to go through the grave and exploring the imitation until finding another portal which they also went through, ending up in another imitation of Temby. Lafayette proceeded to pass through different iterations of the town, becoming mentally affected by this, until seemingly reaching the last iteration which appeared to be unfinished and uninhabited except for a crying infant. Lafayette found the baby and attempted to comfort them, but as the child kept crying the doctor decided whisper them a story. Meanwhile someone, probably SCP-783, who was previously crying began laughing. This event would be erased from reality by SCP-7427.
SCP-783 is never seen or heard, though its actions show that it is unspeakably cruel, sadistic and possibly even wrathful. The SCP will not simply kill its victims, but will leave them alive in their newly twisted and elongated forms to increase their suffering, showcasing the horrifying nature of SCP-783.
If any truth can be taken from the rhyme associated with the SCP, it can be implied that the "Crooked Man" spoken of is replicating the nature and pain of his death to others out of wrath and/or just sick pleasure.
•The rhyme at the top of the article is based on an English nursery rhyme written in 1842:
