@@zacharykoplin6543 that’d be hilarious. The damn thing wakes up, causes all this destruction and death, then it just fucking dies. Like that’s it, that’s it’s life cycle: birth, sleeping, wake up, die
Maybe. Maybe not. This thing’s presence would encourage feelings of greed and hatred prior to its current dormancy. Ultimately it depends on the amount of psychological influence the superorganism had on people
@@orsonzedd The national park agency is a federal agency. they should've had some semblance of control over what went on in the thing in the first place. While your characterization of texas isn't necessarily unfair, there's plenty of blame to be spread about.
@@notinspectorgadget Go go gadget fuck this I’m out. (Not an insult to you, I thought your comment was funny, just wanted to share something as ridiculous).
I think its cause the thing is a super organism working on a level of physics above our own. The creator mentioned in a QNA the creature is not meant to be supernatural in origin, which leads me to believe the supernatural phenomenon around it are due to it working on a different level of reality than we do. Like, we're micro-organisms to it like cells are to use. Of course we can't fully comprehend it, even if there is scientific explanations for all of its functions.
if you havent seen it wendigoon put out a video talking about it and it goes over a lot so i assume you know a lot about it but its my recommendation for people trying to get into MFP
@Justin Nono, but thanks for the explanation. What the person here brings up is this NEW incident happened almost ten years later, and they, as well as us are unsure what caused this new stir.
what makes the story even better is until the end it was all humanity that forced itself to endure eldritch horror the creature was asleep it didnt do anything consciously only when human greed lead to lack of maintence on human made structures in the organism causing it to begin to choke and awaken did it begin to lure humanity in to a brutal end until it was luled back to sleep
Well, a superorganism isn't really anything special, it just really amounts to multiple creatures of the same species operating synergetically, like a coral colony or an ant nest, so unless you have entomophobia, a superorganism shouldn't really scare you. Of course, if they'd used something like super macroorganism, then it would be scary, but I get for the purposes of the video, most people wouldn't understand what a superorganism actually is, so it's acceptable, and it is unsettling by itself.
I live in an earthquake zone and lemme just say... something about the idea of an earthquake caused by something ALIVE down there just makes it so, so much more terrifying. Also, serious kudos to the creator for not only making a very convincing EAS broadcast, but then going the extra mile and recording it second-hand with a phone/camcorder/whatever while the whole place shakes and moans, that's just the perfect icing on the absolutely lovely terror-cake that is the MFP.
Well the ancient greeks said there is a Minotaur locked under the island Crete and it trying to break out is causing the island to shake every once in a while.
I completely agree with what Goon said in the video yesterday, I want to see this made into a movie, tv series, video game, novel collection, SOMETHING. I NEED more MFP!
I’ll never forget my NSF internship in the MFP summer 2007. A majority of the cohort of researchers in the program were lost. We had envied the ones who were able to lodge in the resort down in the pit while four of us had to share a room at that Marriott on the surface. Guess we ended up being the lucky ones. I’ve always wondered if my lab notebook is still down there.
@@chilidog334 Humid. It made the Texas humidity feel like air conditioning once you left the VC. The air was just insanely heavy with moisture and the air tasted salty and then tasted like heartburn if you got close enough to a gastric pit and then burned your eyes and throat if you got too close. Also really sticky. Like a dog constantly slobbering on you. At least where I was collecting samples for lab.
@@dubuyajay9964 I did! Unofficially but a lot of people unofficially joined to help after yknow. It woulda felt wrong just standing back and watching. Especially when some of our friends were down there. Once we got the all clear that the gut crabs had been taken care of and it was safe to go out of the hotel, me and my roomies went out to help and personally I hoped to find that my lab buddies survived. Even in memory that day still doesn’t feel real. It’s like I was floating through it. Like some twilight zone shit. Your brain protects you from trauma in weird ways I guess.
@@juliettehernandez2533 One of my regrets was not transferring to Ft. Hood or Bliss after my time in Natick. Felt so helpless seeing that insanity going on while I was stationed in Deutschland waiting for my time in the sandbox. It was supposed to be purely a National Guard and Reserve Op, but I heard some full time had to be called in from both bases to deal with joint under the board cleanup ops with the CDC and Wildlife Dept. Of course, this is pure rumor mind you...

Between things like this, other ARG's and SCP material I enjoy em a whole lot more than most things streaming now. Content wise if these were to suddenly get attention and support from the entertainment decision makers it'd be interesting to see the Hollywood response. (Who am I kidding they'll probably mess it up like Slenderman and every other fresh great Idea they touched over the last decade )
I can't imagine chosing to work there. My family visited in 1990. It was amazing but also terrifying. We stayed in the hotel. I would not have been ok with camping there. I was so afraid of the lights going out while we visited. It was so dark with out them that I just can't imagine what it would have been like in a power outage. No lights and the a.c. down. No thanks.
Howdy, survivor of a 7.1 earthquake here, just wanna say this is fucking horrifying and it's super great how you captured the sensation of an earthquake well enough to make me have a mild PTSD induced anxiety attack. And I mean that genuinely! Keep up the good work!

I was lucky enough to experience the MFP as a kid way way back in 2001 with my family. We didn't take any pictures which is odd because I distinctly remember hearing the clicking from my mom's old Kodak, but then again my face was buried in my dad's side the whole time so maybe I was mistaken
my good dude, theres a netflix documentary out now talkin about some of this and it mentioned those weird bugs makin clickin sounds since they cant see. think you and your family mighta gotten real lucky
Perhaps it was one of the Abyssal Cope Pods clicking, I worked there and I was told those things like doing some clicking sounds to communicate, There was a study back in 2004 that stated those creatures were intelligent enough to hunt in groups and that the clicking was the sound they used to direct eachother through the pit, Though many scientific papers where lost after the 2007 incident.
@@DreamerOfTheSouth they use the clicking sounds to map out the area, as it was pitch black before humans came. They usually only make clicking sounds when they feel threatened or sense vibrations.
@@_xiryu_ Thanks for the info! The biology of those creatures really interests me, It saddens me that the inciden made it impossible to study them more.
Gosh this gives me chills I can remember this exact message going across my screen that same day when I was up late watching TV living just west of Fort Worth when I felt the shaking. Lord have mercy if it ever wakes up…
I mean someone said it's the beast that the Aztec God's killed to make Earth how's the creature never really died in Aztec myth so if it wakes up we're probably all going to die instantly.
I remember the petting zoo. I was only 2, but man, those baby lobster things were so cute! we went for Christmas/new years in 2006. It's crazy to think that everything went to shit so quickly after that.
I went with my mom and grandma with I was 10 or 11. We spent a weekend at the resort there. It was mind blowing to me. But I couldn't have imagined camping tho. The place was so dark and the fauna there was way too scary for me. I can't believe the tragedy that eventually took place. RIP to everyone that lost their lives there.
We felt it in Illinois, too. Terrified to think what would happen if this thing woke--I was young, but I was in Texas in 2007. Was pretty far away, but the noise and shadow of that...limb-thing rising terrifies me to this day. At least it's being monitored at all times.
@@gooseberry01 honestly? I dread the day that thing decides to wake up and I don't even live in the western hemisphere. The only things I knew about this thing in my childhood were a few tidbits in our general knowledge schoolbooks and that thing still terrified me. I understand morbid curiosity but I honestly think this was one thing we never should've fucked with to begin with.
terrifying, honestly. and this was only two years ago? it makes me wonder if this kind of thing is more or less common since 2007, or whenever the pit was discovered. i have some family in texas, ill have to ask them about it
@@k-osmonaut8807 i know it may be hard to grapple with, but we share this earth with the permian basin superorganism. there is no need to deny reality.
I remember when my family took a trip to the Mystery Flesh Pit for my 5th birthday. I was so excited by the pulsating, groaning sounds that surrounded us as we explored through the tunnels, and we even saw one of those little weasel-flesh things crawling around! Still one of the best birthdays I've ever had, and I was genuinely heartbroken when I heard about what happened.
ever since i visited the flesh pit back in 2005, i've had an inexplicable urge to go back. it was beautiful, breathtaking really. even during the tour, i just found myself wanting to go even deeper inside it. i wasn't satisfied with the tour route alone. i still have dreams about it to this day. headaches, too. i really need to go back.
imagine being in a giant underground pit full of flesh and then you just here the emergency broadcast sound. And then the the entire structure of the flesh starts to shake.
My cousin's family originally planned to go to the Pit for its July 4th celebration but his little sister got sick and the family had to stay home. Thank god or that whole branch of the family would have gotten wiped out!
I was like…9? Maybe 10 when it happened, had been to the park a fee times as a child. And while I enjoyed it…the pit itself gave me nightmares. As an adult I kinda find it fascinating now but what can you do. Im a horror buff. But as a child I had vivid dreams of being lost in there, nothing but darkness and the thought of dead people and weird alien creatures and demons rising from the cave walls to get me…in retrospect actually having full understanding of the situation I think my dreams were tame in comparison… I had a childhood friend who loved the fleshpit, had a really big fascination with biology and wanted to invest in a college when he was of age to become a park tour guide, to genuinely understand it and educate others, I do think beyond the commercialism there is something kinda noble about digging into this thing to learn about it. American dream blah blah blah whatever. My friend fed my nightmares, swear he and his family went every year, brought me t-shirts, (still have a can of coke heartthrob on my shelf, wonder how much I could sell it off on?) Every time I went to the park it was because my friend invited me to come with him, always giddy to be down there and just experience something not many people could. The last time I was there it gave me a funny feeling…the only experience I could compare it too was the Nickelodeon Hotel ironically. You could feel love put into it but you could tell something about it was aged…like the park itself was a little eroded from the stress of being down there a couple decades… Thankfully when my friend invited me I came down with a serious fever and was in bed when it happened. Ironically I was having another vivid nightmare of the pit itself right before I woke up and heard the news. It…shook me. My friend liked to stay a week inside the Gastric Sea Hotel and I knew he was down there. Among everyone else in that pit. There was no way he wasn’t down there, especially on the 4th of July celebration. People trapped in their vechiles, people digested in the elevator, crushed and hunted, I had no idea where he was when it happened. Maybe he was in the visitor center, just trapped down there after the park finally was cut off. Maybe there was a chance he was still alive and just, stuck. The reason why I remember it still so vividly is I still have a saved voicemail on my phone from him. No words just mumbling, crying, gurgling, screaming…and I haven’t deleted it yet. Still don’t feel like it. Like I said the Pit disturbed me as a child and as an adult Im more so curious, ironically the park is more appealing to me closed than it was opened, curious if I should invest in some science degree…maybe at somepoint people will go back in for study, maybe recover what little of the visitor center remains, if someone was down there and the visitor center was still at the very least intact enough could someone have feasible lived in it? There was enough food right for an entire park so if just a few people survived I could imagine some people down in the pit just living there, waiting for a rescue that won’t come. I suppose my interest stems from my horror fascination, especially body horror, knowing something like that exists makes me…attracted to it. That and I stopped having my nightmares. Just the same dream over and over. Its dark, saliva and mucus everywhere, walls alive, hear killer…there against the darkness, is the famaliar blue light of an At&T emergency phone…standing before it is my friend, hanging up the phone from my call, and then turning to me…the more I got older the more distorted he became. Taller, thinner, more hair, less clothes, sunken in eyes…then the shit with the weasels. Losing his hair, eyes going white, skin transparent as he begins to get shorter, and eventually down the line he’ll be organs to. It used to scare me, but thought of him being dead is a reassurance, but if he isn’t…fuck.
I don't live all that far away. I remember wanting to visit the park as a kid, but my parents said I wasn't old enough. Well, middle school rolled around and in 2007, they said we could go for Summer break. We made plans to go for the 4th of July. I was so excited... But then my sister got sick. We weren't able to go because sje had the flu, so we had to reschedule. I remember being pissed off and upset. Well, long story short... The event happened. And like I said, we don't live too far away, so we felt the tremors. It nearly brought down our entire town. The roof collapsed on our house and we were all separated. I had to dig through the rubble to get out. We ended up staying with an Aunt, and on the news the next day, we saw how bad it actually was at the site. Needless to say, I wasn't so pissed anymore. To this day, I still have an emergency kit packed and ready to go, just in case.
I think Wendigoon is planing like, an "urban exploration" to the park now? I don't know, that guy is pretty weird. He keeps talking about the 2007 incident like it's some kind of wonderful thing and we should all appreciate the gifts of the permian basin superorganism. I wish I've never learned about this thing, honestly. It scares me to no end, especially knowing that it's still somehow active.
@@PelinalDidNothingWrong Seriously?! That's propaganda man, straight up! I don't know if you were born before 2007,(probably not) but for the rest of us, the day of the incident lives in infamy next to Chernobyl nuclear meltdown and 9/11. Get your facts straight and be serious! You are playing with the memories of hundreds of people, to not mention the thousands more who have suffered from the fallout of the flesh pit park incident.
@@therogueaxolotl. im sorry about your friend. I knew someone that had been to the flesh pit not long before the incident. I can't imagine such a nightmare. So many lives lost. It's tragic.
Had plans to visit this place for my 17th birthday back in 2007, but unfortunately (and sadly), 750 people lost their lives before it rolled around (no pun intended). God bless those that were lost, in what should've been a Fourth of July worth remembering. Remember the 750. Remember them all.
God, I wish I got the chance to visit the park before they closed it. I remember being absolutely obsessed with it when I was a kid, I still own some of the park memorabilia that my aunt brought me. She lived in Dallas at the time of the accident but moved away afterwards. Didn't feel safe living anywhere near this thing.
Mystery flesh pit National park never did sit right with my family, especially after 2007, dad thought they shoulda tried to kill it, mom thought the next prez would take a better stand on the issue, guess Obama had other things on his mind than dealing with whatever was down there.
Just watched wendigoons video on this, and like the sheer terror of being INSIDE Knowing what happens on the outside, its drawn out as what would really happen
(Short Summary) there is a resort in the giant geological organism, and its fourth of july, its raining and water gets in the lungs. And it coughs and throws up, the smell being tracked to odessa and tremors felt in dfw, a small limb being moved caused miles of land being thrown. 700 deaths and 1800 seriously injured
a thought that made me feel super grossed out was also watching the time stamps ... imagine going to a spectacular and supernatural attraction and then all of a sudden, so many things you know are wrong is happening in a matter of minutes, but you dont know exaclty what... and then hours and hours amd pain and suffering and being eaten away by super powerful acid... it was hours before medics were able to start treating the vomited guests that were on the land around the pit
God, that would be great. That being said, there's this engineering podcast that specifically goes over engineering disasters called Well There's Your Problem that I think would be great of them to cover in either a one off Halloween episode or in an April Fools' episode.
As a kid i visited the park when I was 12 when it was still open, I never liked this, thing, the government needs to do something about it. Find a way to put it down.
I’ve been saying for years to kill that abomination, I even have a plan that could feasibly work. The mining efforts have proven that it is susceptible, at least to some degree, to conventional weaponry, in the inside at least. The entrance to the park was the things mouth, right? So it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that it’s brain is, relatively, near by. So if we could locate it, we could drill or tunnel our way to it and through the skull, then we would shove some nukes in there, preferably at various points around the brain(to maximize damage) and blow the sucker to kingdom come in a blast of nuclear hellfire. Even if the blast doesn’t kill the beast immediately, it would, without a doubt, cause serious trauma and possibly disorientate it should it survive, and not to mention the havoc the radiation would reck. It’s gonna wake up and kill us all eventually, so why not ensure we take the hellspawn with us? But I’m just some random from the middle of buttfuck nowhere West Virginia, so what do I know?
They. Fucking. Tried. Gov't won't admit it, but nukes won't work, would just wake it up. 20,000 liters of poison made it PUKE all over Texas, and now they have to brew sedatives in industrial quantities directly ontop of it just to keep it dormant. The best we can hope for? That those drug pumps never fail....
@@fuzzytransmissionman That's a load of bullcrap. Nothing can survive the fire of the fucking sun inside of it. The main issue is the fact it'll spread viscera and stomach acid everywhere.

Seismologists can only SPECULATE how far down this beast goes; we don't have equipment CAPABLE of digging as far down as this thing has implanted itself in the earth, we can only crawl THROUGH it to that depth! And even then, suppose we DO kill it, suppose THOUSANDS of square miles and untold TONS worth of living, organic tissue, directly beneath 80% of Texas, suddenly dies and begins to undergo NECROSIS. Then what??? Seal up the entry orifice and prey to God almighty the thing doesn't BLOAT enough as it decomposes to breach the surface and spray necrotic filth into the atmosphere? No. The Pit is inevitability. We can only hope to keep it dormant...
I would love to see you collaborate with someone like Atrocity Exhibition or Down the Rabbit Hole for a deep dive (haha) on the MFP, loving the alert btw very wonderful.
I know the disaster is sad and all, but I really miss Coke Heartthrob. That dumb “reissue” from last valentines wasn’t like the real thing at all. You’d think Coke could have just bought Anodyne.
im jealous, i never got a chance to taste the real stuff, i was like 4 in 07, so not exactly the age to be givin your kids soda like that. the reissue tastes weird imo, but i dont have anythin to compare it to :/
I’ve seen some facsimile recipes say you can achieve a similar taste by mixing coke with a little rose water and a hint of lime and mint. But I haven’t tried it yet. Sure it would still taste good anyway.
Visited the park with my family in 2003, I really wanted to go down to the lower visiter center, but my Mom was having none of it. Shame it's closed now...I really want to go see it again.
In the past, my father was a ranger in that park. Then I saw your clip. So I took it to my father and asked, "What happened then?" After my father heard A frightened expression appeared on his face. and answered me with a simple "No, no, no." Then my father cried.
As a Mexican that lived though several earthquakes (specially September 2017), hearing the alert and then feeling the soil beneath shake is terrifying enough. Now knowing that is caused by a creature trying to wake up...
Yep they've stepped on the cerberus' tail. In a few years when this thing wakes up the whole world's gonna pay. Im not even an American, I don't even live in the western hemisphere but this thing still terrified me to no end.
The fact that this video came lot bfore the topic of analog horror, filling a state of fear in our minds without showing any horrific imagery, just the abnormal fear is soo cool actually
I was four when the 07 incident occurred, so my recollection isn’t the best, but I lived in Dallas and recall the EAS alarm interrupting a Transformers toy commercial. I felt the tremors shaking and setting off car alarms. My parents were crying around the tv and there were military helicopters moving towards something in the distance. My mom picked me up and hugged me telling me to not look outside. The only thing I remember after that is my dad taking us to Walmart to stock up on emergency supplies the next day. He even got me a transformer to take my mind off what we thought was the end of the world. That toy was 07 Barricade, who I still have, and stands as a reminder of that fateful event.
I gotta say though that the level of skill put into the this video actually reminded me of my own experience in a 7.1 magnitude earthquake that happened when i was a child. genuinely disturbing and amazing at te same time.
Man, remember watching the original incident on the 5th during summer vacation. Was too young to think about it at the time, looking back. What were we doing spelunking and making tourism out of a living creatures innards? It rains and we never expected it to cough?
i remember seeing it on the news when i was like 4, tbh i think that shit traumatized a generation. really though, youre right, i mean if someone tore a hole in the roof of my room while i was sleeping id probably toss n turn about. we're lucky it hasnt done more shit
I went to the Flesh Pit in 2007, it was July 1st. We drove from Norfolk in Virginia, all the way to Texas. I was so excited because i honestly found the Flesh Pit really amusing. Once we arrived to the Flesh Pit Visitor centre, we met our guide, his name was Andrew. We followed him throughout the Pit. Our first stop was at Apes Escape, it was a bit creepy, but really intresting, we got to learn the story behind it and how it got its name. We stayed there for around 2-3 days since we wanted to explore the entire cave. Thankfully, we left on July 3rd, right before the disaster.
I love how so many people in the comments are playing along as if this were actually a real thing. Really shows how effective this worldbuilding project has been.
The most amazing part is how well they're following the lore, down even to the fact they continue calling such a horrific thing 'beautiful' due to its implied abilities to manipulate human emotions.
As a former trail guide and now working as a staff member you really dont know what to expect when your in there for the first time.Sure your trained and prepared but never really ready.Sometimes you'll hear the dripping of mucus and the sound of breathing.Maybe machinery working around you.Theres a place called little Detroit heading from the sand gullet.Its filled with trash and machinery we threw away. The smell and sounds don't bother you after a while but sometimes it's scary to be alone.I usually hanged out in the lounge where I would wait for my next tourist batch to arrive.The times I found tunnels collapsed in on tour guides.I never saw them afterwards.Park management decided it was a good idea to leave the collapsed tunnels behind. As for the night of the disaster I was at home taking my leave.Once I saw on the news that it happened I was just shocked.I Rushed to my car and drove to the worksite,by that time I was a staff member and no longer a trail guide.I entered the park right when it "puked" Many good people died trying to save people.God bless those souls.I was lucky and survived with some of my friends running away yelling.I saw 1 person crawl back in.I now sit in a room with people trying to understand.Know.How. to Kill the beast.Hurt it.Put it back to sleep.But no.nothingnwould ever work as well as "it" did.If a nuke can't stop it..nothing can. I now work.in secret behind walls meant to protect us. But it won't stop it.Our only hope is to send down robots and hope that we get the object again.hope that we can rebuild it.hope. that it'll still work.
As a mexican child in 2007 you don't pay a lot of attention to international news or catastrophes in countries other than yours But now as an adult i can finally understand the severity of the accident Just gotta say y'all Americans are crazy for building basically a mall inside of that thing
As someone relatively new to the MFP universe, reading all of the tidbits this guy put out there was amazing. But when I got to this video, I got the mfn chills. This takes it to a whole other level with the broadcast warning and the damn roar in the background like 😱. Love it so much
Oh this brings back... Memories. My friend and I were coming in AFTER the 4th to try to dodge the crowds (and bad weather). So we weren't there when it happened, but close enough to get blasted with some of the superorganism's puke gasses. I hallucinated that I could hear plants talk. Which sounds cool and all ...unless you happened to have camped out near a farm field, and can hear plants *Screaming, crying, and begging for mercy* as they are ripped apart. I still cant eat blueberries My buddy Ryan wasn't so lucky. I had a bad acid trip whereas He had a full-on schizophrenic break at the end of that August. Last I heard, he is estranged from his family and living on the streets of Portland. Despite, or maybe because of all that(I remember hearing about the victims who crawled *back into the pit*), I still wish I'd gotten to see the MFP when it was in action. There is something morbidly fascinating, and magnetic about a creature that can do ...*THAT*. And I still wonder if there is some connection between the Permian Basin superorganism and the Permian Extinction event
@@laylamartin9926 No, it's not. The Mystery Flesh Pit is an entry to a reddit worldbuilding contest, and it is a masterful work of storytelling. It's so effective at being realistic that people are confusing it for reality
I remember getting a call from my friend sometime after this happened. Said he couldn't take it any more, that he was gonna move up north. We haven't talked much since then, but I'll ask him about what the quakes were like when I get the chance.
I was driving through Texas on my way to Florida for a business trip, then my car broke down in gumption. I called a tow truck and waited. About 2 hours later I got this alert on my radio then I felt the shaking and heard the the disgusting sounds. After that everything went black and I woke up in a hospital.
Yosemite National Park woke the dragon to settle they rivalry with the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park and Anodyne. Two former Yosemite park ranger working at Mystery Flesh Pit as ranger.

I knew a kid growing up who had seizures every other time we had an earthquake back in California. After the Flesh Pit was closed off in 07' you would always find him carrying his pillow with just in case he had an episode. It would be so common after a quake to find him neatly in a recovery position anywhere across campus. Looking back on it now I found it strange that none of this affected his health. Even weirder is the fact that after he would gather his bareings he would immediately run to the library and begin writing in his composition book for the rest of the school day. But it's not like any of this was affecting his grades because it didn't matter how many sezuires he would have during the week, no matter what was always on top of his school work. At one point I think he was turning in homework days or even weeks in advance. In the end he was able to graduate at the top of our class and was even given the chance to study abroad, but from what I hear he was kicked out within the first week of Uni. Nathan I hope your doing alright wherever you are.
I was 9-10 years old and at my family’s annual Fourth of July party at my great aunt’s house when the news broke. I was in the yard playing with my cousins and suddenly there was a lot of commotion in the living room. All the adults were rushing to the tv. A bunch of people were crying, but they refused to tell us kids what exactly was going on. Not that they needed to. We were old enough to know that serious shit went down at that park, and that Grannie Jean, who had been down there, was likely dead. Things were never the same after.
Yo! I love this. It's an excellent EAS video and plays in VERY WELL with the MFP universe. The earthquake you made for the video was really effective and felt real. Would absolutely kill for someone like Harvester or any other experienced EAS producer to make a full video on MFP events, especially the 2007 disaster.
@@georgekerscher5355 I'd say we have lots of old nukes that need getting rid of, solve two problems at once by setting them up inside the deepest parts of the thing and make it cease to exist. If you wanted to get really effective, you could use the weapons to make one giant hydrogen bomb. I doubt the organism would survive that. The area directly around it would likely be a write-off, but it's better than it going fully active.
@@xedrick.valentine Would be less effective than blowing them up inside it. For an example, see what happens if you blow up a small firework on your flat open hand, versus what would happen if you clenched the same one in your closed fist. It's better to get the bomb inside than to detonate it on the surface. Ans for the mostpart, the flesh pit just sits there and would let you load it up with nukes.
I was too young to visit when it was open, but it’s surreal to think that it’s still down there, especially since I have family living in Texas. I hope they stay safe.

I love how MFP is 97% completely science-based speculative biology and 3% "yeah you might have a bout of precognition but it will pass"
I think its cause the thing is a super organism working on a level of physics above our own. The creator mentioned in a QNA the creature is not meant to be supernatural in origin, which leads me to believe the supernatural phenomenon around it are due to it working on a different level of reality than we do.

It really got to me with the “super organism.” That is absolutely horrifying to imagine.

what makes the story even better is until the end it was all humanity that forced itself to endure eldritch horror the creature was asleep it didnt do anything consciously only when human greed lead to lack of maintence on human made structures in the organism causing it to begin to choke and awaken did it begin to lure humanity in to a brutal end until it was luled back to sleep
*ITS ALIVE.*
super organisms do exist, but currently the only two are a fungi and a tree, nothing like the MFP.
Well, a superorganism isn't really anything special, it just really amounts to multiple creatures of the same species operating synergetically, like a coral colony or an ant nest, so unless you have entomophobia, a superorganism shouldn't really scare you. Of course, if they'd used something like super macroorganism, then it would be scary, but I get for the purposes of the video, most people wouldn't understand what a superorganism actually is, so it's acceptable, and it is unsettling by itself.
I live in an earthquake zone and lemme just say... something about the idea of an earthquake caused by something ALIVE down there just makes it so, so much more terrifying. Also, serious kudos to the creator for not only making a very convincing EAS broadcast, but then going the extra mile and recording it second-hand with a phone/camcorder/whatever while the whole place shakes and moans, that's just the perfect icing on the absolutely lovely terror-cake that is the MFP.
It's like the graboids from tremors just about ten thousand times bigger and terrifying.

Also really sticky. Like a dog constantly slobbering on you. At least where I was collecting samples for lab.

my good dude, theres a netflix documentary out now talkin about some of this and it mentioned those weird bugs makin clickin sounds since they cant see. think you and your family mighta gotten real lucky
Perhaps it was one of the Abyssal Cope Pods clicking, I worked there and I was told those things like doing some clicking sounds to communicate, There was a study back in 2004 that stated those creatures were intelligent enough to hunt in groups and that the clicking was the sound they used to direct eachother through the pit, Though many scientific papers where lost after the 2007 incident.

We felt it in Illinois, too. Terrified to think what would happen if this thing woke--I was young, but I was in Texas in 2007. Was pretty far away, but the noise and shadow of that...limb-thing rising terrifies me to this day. At least it's being monitored at all times.

@@Kostya_chicken_gun (Nah, just playing pretend with the ARG. I don't know what comment you're talking about, so it must be a coincidence.)
I was like…9? Maybe 10 when it happened, had been to the park a fee times as a child. And while I enjoyed it…the pit itself gave me nightmares. As an adult I kinda find it fascinating now but what can you do. Im a horror buff.
But as a child I had vivid dreams of being lost in there, nothing but darkness and the thought of dead people and weird alien creatures and demons rising from the cave walls to get me…in retrospect actually having full understanding of the situation I think my dreams were tame in comparison…
I had a childhood friend who loved the fleshpit, had a really big fascination with biology and wanted to invest in a college when he was of age to become a park tour guide, to genuinely understand it and educate others, I do think beyond the commercialism there is something kinda noble about digging into this thing to learn about it. American dream blah blah blah whatever.
My friend fed my nightmares, swear he and his family went every year, brought me t-shirts, (still have a can of coke heartthrob on my shelf, wonder how much I could sell it off on?)
Every time I went to the park it was because my friend invited me to come with him, always giddy to be down there and just experience something not many people could.
The last time I was there it gave me a funny feeling…the only experience I could compare it too was the Nickelodeon Hotel ironically. You could feel love put into it but you could tell something about it was aged…like the park itself was a little eroded from the stress of being down there a couple decades…
Thankfully when my friend invited me I came down with a serious fever and was in bed when it happened. Ironically I was having another vivid nightmare of the pit itself right before I woke up and heard the news. It…shook me. My friend liked to stay a week inside the Gastric Sea Hotel and I knew he was down there. Among everyone else in that pit. There was no way he wasn’t down there, especially on the 4th of July celebration.
People trapped in their vechiles, people digested in the elevator, crushed and hunted, I had no idea where he was when it happened. Maybe he was in the visitor center, just trapped down there after the park finally was cut off. Maybe there was a chance he was still alive and just, stuck.
The reason why I remember it still so vividly is I still have a saved voicemail on my phone from him. No words just mumbling, crying, gurgling, screaming…and I haven’t deleted it yet. Still don’t feel like it.
Like I said the Pit disturbed me as a child and as an adult Im more so curious, ironically the park is more appealing to me closed than it was opened, curious if I should invest in some science degree…maybe at somepoint people will go back in for study, maybe recover what little of the visitor center remains, if someone was down there and the visitor center was still at the very least intact enough could someone have feasible lived in it? There was enough food right for an entire park so if just a few people survived I could imagine some people down in the pit just living there, waiting for a rescue that won’t come.
I suppose my interest stems from my horror fascination, especially body horror, knowing something like that exists makes me…attracted to it.
That and I stopped having my nightmares.
Just the same dream over and over. Its dark, saliva and mucus everywhere, walls alive, hear killer…there against the darkness, is the famaliar blue light of an At&T emergency phone…standing before it is my friend, hanging up the phone from my call, and then turning to me…the more I got older the more distorted he became. Taller, thinner, more hair, less clothes, sunken in eyes…then the shit with the weasels. Losing his hair, eyes going white, skin transparent as he begins to get shorter, and eventually down the line he’ll be organs to.
It used to scare me, but thought of him being dead is a reassurance, but if he isn’t…fuck.
holy crap thats messed up
That... sounds like a real-life Creepypasta story.
This gave me chills, amazing. Good luck with that degree
I don't live all that far away. I remember wanting to visit the park as a kid, but my parents said I wasn't old enough. Well, middle school rolled around and in 2007, they said we could go for Summer break. We made plans to go for the 4th of July. I was so excited... But then my sister got sick. We weren't able to go because sje had the flu, so we had to reschedule.
I remember being pissed off and upset.
Well, long story short... The event happened. And like I said, we don't live too far away, so we felt the tremors. It nearly brought down our entire town. The roof collapsed on our house and we were all separated. I had to dig through the rubble to get out.
We ended up staying with an Aunt, and on the news the next day, we saw how bad it actually was at the site.
Needless to say, I wasn't so pissed anymore.
To this day, I still have an emergency kit packed and ready to go, just in case.
Have you seen the Circus Clown Chimus?
The fact that this was basically caused because the Pit cleared its throat and readjusted its arm a bit really makes this even more terrifying…

As a kid i visited the park when I was 12 when it was still open, I never liked this, thing, the government needs to do something about it. Find a way to put it down.
I’ve been saying for years to kill that abomination, I even have a plan that could feasibly work. The mining efforts have proven that it is susceptible, at least to some degree, to conventional weaponry, in the inside at least. The entrance to the park was the things mouth, right? So it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that it’s brain is, relatively, near by. So if we could locate it, we could drill or tunnel our way to it and through the skull, then we would shove some nukes in there, preferably at various points around the brain(to maximize damage) and blow the sucker to kingdom come in a blast of nuclear hellfire. Even if the blast doesn’t kill the beast immediately, it would, without a doubt, cause serious trauma and possibly disorientate it should it survive, and not to mention the havoc the radiation would reck. It’s gonna wake up and kill us all eventually, so why not ensure we take the hellspawn with us? But I’m just some random from the middle of buttfuck nowhere West Virginia, so what do I know?
They. Fucking. Tried.
Gov't won't admit it, but nukes won't work, would just wake it up. 20,000 liters of poison made it PUKE all over Texas, and now they have to brew sedatives in industrial quantities directly ontop of it just to keep it dormant. The best we can hope for? That those drug pumps never fail....

Visited the park with my family in 2003, I really wanted to go down to the lower visiter center, but my Mom was having none of it. Shame it's closed now...I really want to go see it again.
Cmon guys don’t worry the superorganism wanted to just flex his bicep and show us how much of a big boy he is good job buddy
In the past, my father was a ranger in that park. Then I saw your clip. So I took it to my father and asked, "What happened then?" After my father heard A frightened expression appeared on his face. and answered me with a simple "No, no, no." Then my father cried.
As a Mexican that lived though several earthquakes (specially September 2017), hearing the alert and then feeling the soil beneath shake is terrifying enough. Now knowing that is caused by a creature trying to wake up...
@JayPlaysStuff until you somehow wake it up and destroy the whole world i dont even know if earth is one big organism
Apperantly, no one at Anodyne ever played Poke The Rabit. And never learned.
Tickling The Dragon's Taul.
Yep they've stepped on the cerberus' tail. In a few years when this thing wakes up the whole world's gonna pay. Im not even an American, I don't even live in the western hemisphere but this thing still terrified me to no end.

Oh yeah
The fact that this video came lot bfore the topic of analog horror, filling a state of fear in our minds without showing any horrific imagery, just the abnormal fear is soo cool actually
I was four when the 07 incident occurred, so my recollection isn’t the best, but I lived in Dallas and recall the EAS alarm interrupting a Transformers toy commercial. I felt the tremors shaking and setting off car alarms. My parents were crying around the tv and there were military helicopters moving towards something in the distance. My mom picked me up and hugged me telling me to not look outside. The only thing I remember after that is my dad taking us to Walmart to stock up on emergency supplies the next day. He even got me a transformer to take my mind off what we thought was the end of the world. That toy was 07 Barricade, who I still have, and stands as a reminder of that fateful event.
I gotta say though that the level of skill put into the this video actually reminded me of my own experience in a 7.1 magnitude earthquake that happened when i was a child. genuinely disturbing and amazing at te same time.
Thank you Wendigoon
Man, remember watching the original incident on the 5th during summer vacation. Was too young to think about it at the time, looking back. What were we doing spelunking and making tourism out of a living creatures innards? It rains and we never expected it to cough?
As my father always said about the incident, “we were poking the dragon for decades. I’m more surprised that it hadn’t moved sooner.”.
i remember seeing it on the news when i was like 4, tbh i think that shit traumatized a generation. really though, youre right, i mean if someone tore a hole in the roof of my room while i was sleeping id probably toss n turn about. we're lucky it hasnt done more shit
when you build a mcdonald's inside something's spleen it's probably going to find out and be a little peeved eventually
I went to the Flesh Pit in 2007, it was July 1st. We drove from Norfolk in Virginia, all the way to Texas. I was so excited because i honestly found the Flesh Pit really amusing. Once we arrived to the Flesh Pit Visitor centre, we met our guide, his name was Andrew. We followed him throughout the Pit. Our first stop was at Apes Escape, it was a bit creepy, but really intresting, we got to learn the story behind it and how it got its name. We stayed there for around 2-3 days since we wanted to explore the entire cave. Thankfully, we left on July 3rd, right before the disaster.
is it real
@@amtrakdude432 100% real no fake punjabi no virus free minecraft
The mystery flesh pit is just like the ocean. We barely know anything about it and we're probably better off not knowing.
I love how so many people in the comments are playing along as if this were actually a real thing. Really shows how effective this worldbuilding project has been.
Playing along? What are you talking about, its real!
Lol jk
@@animeemail8902
ive already been confused for like several minutes on whether this was real or not and if people actually died.

*_"oH bUt iT's rEAl"_*
im sorry i just cant
The most amazing part is how well they're following the lore, down even to the fact they continue calling such a horrific thing 'beautiful' due to its implied abilities to manipulate human emotions.
@@catpoke9557
Yeah, you gotta appreciate that. StrangeVehicles has created something pretty special.
As a former trail guide and now working as a staff member you really dont know what to expect when your in there for the first time.Sure your trained and prepared but never really ready.Sometimes you'll hear the dripping of mucus and the sound of breathing.Maybe machinery working around you.Theres a place called little Detroit heading from the sand gullet.Its filled with trash and machinery we threw away.
The smell and sounds don't bother you after a while but sometimes it's scary to be alone.I usually hanged out in the lounge where I would wait for my next tourist batch to arrive.The times I found tunnels collapsed in on tour guides.I never saw them afterwards.Park management decided it was a good idea to leave the collapsed tunnels behind.
As for the night of the disaster I was at home taking my leave.Once I saw on the news that it happened I was just shocked.I Rushed to my car and drove to the worksite,by that time I was a staff member and no longer a trail guide.I entered the park right when it "puked" Many good people died trying to save people.God bless those souls.I was lucky and survived with some of my friends running away yelling.I saw 1 person crawl back in.I now sit in a room with people trying to understand.Know.How. to Kill the beast.Hurt it.Put it back to sleep.But no.nothingnwould ever work as well as "it" did.If a nuke can't stop it..nothing can. I now work.in secret behind walls meant to protect us. But it won't stop it.Our only hope is to send down robots and hope that we get the object again.hope that we can rebuild it.hope. that it'll still work.
As a mexican child in 2007 you don't pay a lot of attention to international news or catastrophes in countries other than yours
But now as an adult i can finally understand the severity of the accident
Just gotta say y'all Americans are crazy for building basically a mall inside of that thing
As someone relatively new to the MFP universe, reading all of the tidbits this guy put out there was amazing. But when I got to this video, I got the mfn chills. This takes it to a whole other level with the broadcast warning and the damn roar in the background like 😱. Love it so much
Oh this brings back... Memories. My friend and I were coming in AFTER the 4th to try to dodge the crowds (and bad weather). So we weren't there when it happened, but close enough to get blasted with some of the superorganism's puke gasses.
I hallucinated that I could hear plants talk. Which sounds cool and all ...unless you happened to have camped out near a farm field, and can hear plants *Screaming, crying, and begging for mercy* as they are ripped apart. I still cant eat blueberries
My buddy Ryan wasn't so lucky. I had a bad acid trip whereas He had a full-on schizophrenic break at the end of that August. Last I heard, he is estranged from his family and living on the streets of Portland.
Despite, or maybe because of all that(I remember hearing about the victims who crawled *back into the pit*), I still wish I'd gotten to see the MFP when it was in action. There is something morbidly fascinating, and magnetic about a creature that can do ...*THAT*.
And I still wonder if there is some connection between the Permian Basin superorganism and the Permian Extinction event
IS IT REAL??
@@laylamartin9926 No, it's not. The Mystery Flesh Pit is an entry to a reddit worldbuilding contest, and it is a masterful work of storytelling. It's so effective at being realistic that people are confusing it for reality
@@hookyhook6006 thank u 😭
@@laylamartin9926 It's absolutely real. I remember hearing about this when I was six.
Its called the Permian Basin Superorganism because the Permian Basin is.. where it is.
I like to imagine the Permian basin super organism knows everything that happened and is just doing this to fuck with us
My god this is good I was so scared by the shaking 😰
This is actually convincing, good job.
That low roar always creeps me right out
Dad: stop being so loud it's only a video game!
meanwhile dad watching a football game: 1:04
that creepy howling is the best part for me, it sounds like the wind, but something is off
I remember getting a call from my friend sometime after this happened. Said he couldn't take it any more, that he was gonna move up north. We haven't talked much since then, but I'll ask him about what the quakes were like when I get the chance.
the word geobiological gives me chills
I was driving through Texas on my way to Florida for a business trip, then my car broke down in gumption. I called a tow truck and waited. About 2 hours later I got this alert on my radio then I felt the shaking and heard the the disgusting sounds. After that everything went black and I woke up in a hospital.
What did doctors say ? Or do you have a idea why that happened?
It's been a long time since I've felt so much fear watching a video that I had to pause it and hide in the comments.
Truly an incredible site to see.
Yosemite National Park woke the dragon to settle they rivalry with the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park and Anodyne. Two former Yosemite park ranger working at Mystery Flesh Pit as ranger. Juelle Wells and Aaron Bennett both left work at 5:00 and where never seen again. Juelle Wells upper throat infrastructure technician and Aaron Bennett power grid technician. They sabotage the power grid in the pit and water pump in the upper throat. Yosemite National Park and RHS Consulting (A cloud seeding company) made the rain storm on the 4th of July using modified fireworks with hygroscopic salts and aircraft.
It has awoken...
Yes yes yes yes yes and fricking hundred times yes!!!!! I fricking love it!!!
Man I went when I was four stomach acid hit my foot and I lost a toe, still wish I could go to the park.
I knew a kid growing up who had seizures every other time we had an earthquake back in California. After the Flesh Pit was closed off in 07' you would always find him carrying his pillow with just in case he had an episode. It would be so common after a quake to find him neatly in a recovery position anywhere across campus. Looking back on it now I found it strange that none of this affected his health. Even weirder is the fact that after he would gather his bareings he would immediately run to the library and begin writing in his composition book for the rest of the school day. But it's not like any of this was affecting his grades because it didn't matter how many sezuires he would have during the week, no matter what was always on top of his school work. At one point I think he was turning in homework days or even weeks in advance. In the end he was able to graduate at the top of our class and was even given the chance to study abroad, but from what I hear he was kicked out within the first week of Uni.
Nathan I hope your doing alright wherever you are.
That's horrible that he had to experience that... I hope he's ok as well
People on the Californian coast be scared of geological earthquakes while people in western Texas be scared of geobiological earthquakes
I was 9-10 years old and at my family’s annual Fourth of July party at my great aunt’s house when the news broke. I was in the yard playing with my cousins and suddenly there was a lot of commotion in the living room. All the adults were rushing to the tv. A bunch of people were crying, but they refused to tell us kids what exactly was going on. Not that they needed to. We were old enough to know that serious shit went down at that park, and that Grannie Jean, who had been down there, was likely dead. Things were never the same after.
Yo! I love this. It's an excellent EAS video and plays in VERY WELL with the MFP universe. The earthquake you made for the video was really effective and felt real.
Would absolutely kill for someone like Harvester or any other experienced EAS producer to make a full video on MFP events, especially the 2007 disaster.
Glad I'm not in Texas... The Mystery Flesh Pit is such a fun idea...
I am 😬
What if I told you all that this super organism threatens the western hemisphere?
@@georgekerscher5355 I'd say we have lots of old nukes that need getting rid of, solve two problems at once by setting them up inside the deepest parts of the thing and make it cease to exist. If you wanted to get really effective, you could use the weapons to make one giant hydrogen bomb. I doubt the organism would survive that. The area directly around it would likely be a write-off, but it's better than it going fully active.
@@kais.8689 I hear what you're saying, and I'm on board, but I have a counterpoint: let's just move to Mars and nuke it from orbit.
@@xedrick.valentine Would be less effective than blowing them up inside it. For an example, see what happens if you blow up a small firework on your flat open hand, versus what would happen if you clenched the same one in your closed fist.
It's better to get the bomb inside than to detonate it on the surface. Ans for the mostpart, the flesh pit just sits there and would let you load it up with nukes.
This happened on my first birthday. Odd to think that something like this could have happened.
As the survivor of multiple earthquakes (yes, i am türkish) this is just phenomenal. Had flashbacks from it!
I was too young to visit when it was open, but it’s surreal to think that it’s still down there, especially since I have family living in Texas. I hope they stay safe.
wait so its real??
Well done, very well done, had me thinking it was real even though its an ARG, an idea i had was to put like a commercial or movie/show before cutting it off with the alert, just my opinion but it was pretty well done
As a person who had lived through a powerful earthquake… God I got chills hearing everything shake
Been patiently waiting for more MFP content! Hope all is well in Sterling County.
I'm not entirely sure but it sounds like there is a code in some of the shaking of the tv. Maybe if anyone of you know how to do the thing where you convert sound into an image, that could provide something?
also upon further inspection, the person doesnt look to be in a shelter. There is going to be many layers of this, I can just tell. I cant wait
*maniacal grin*
I NEED a Dead Space style game where we play as a Ranger/Containment Officer for this universe. I NEED IT.
WendigoonFam turned MysteryFleshPitFam
The roar is terrifying

glad i don't live in texas, it'd be freaky as hell if i lived in the state where this happened
@Sith Jawa you must be real fun at parties
@Sith Jawa indeed
@Sith Jawa you aren’t either
@Sith Jawa smelly
@Sith Jawa i am calling you smelly i am not smelly for i take showers and you do not
man. i always hated emergency broadcasts, the alarms fuck with my anxiety something fierce. guess thats the point innit? freaky to see this one recorded. i remember my friends down in texas tellin us about this when it happened because it knocked out their wifi when we were all in a discord call together. lemme say when they said their was a broadcast and then the call dropped? i nearly shit myself. makes me glad i live in virginia.
That's scary as hell. I don't even like the EAS's Alert Tones either. It's horrifying!
I am scared of every alarm it is just feels like I will die that time ( ring alarms included)
I think you know who brought me/us here.
