The term âThalassophobiaâ means âAn intense fear of deep water.â It is one of the most primal and understandable phobias â for the dark abyss has always been a birthplace of monsters.
Lurking below the waves are not only bizarre species known to science â but a vast multitude of imagined leviathans. Something about the fathomless void floods the human mind with visions of nightmarish creatures, which have scared and fascinated us since we first gazed into the deep.
So, for this entry into the archive, weâll dive into depths both real and imagined, and discover what terrors lurk within the heart of the sea...

Personally, I think fear of the ocean isn't just fear of the unknown, but call of the void as well.
Imagine gazing into a black abyss, with unimaginable monsters likely lurking within. What's scarier, the creatures that hunger for an easy meal, or the voice in your head screaming for you to go meet the monster in the dark?

For me, Subnautica was not just about fear, but about overcoming fear through understanding. The more I learned about what was in the depths, the less scary they became. And the more I learned of the dangerous creatures, the less scary they became. It gave me deeper insight into myself. I now know more about the mechanisms of my own fears and how to face them, appreciate them, and work through them.

The fact that the coelacanth was first discovered as a fossil, and then as a living creature is both fascinating and terrifying.

I like how you are expanding the scope of the channel recently. Speculative biology projects are cool, but I think your recent videos on broader concepts are what has really been standing out. It allows you to insert your own creativity and style without solely focusing on someone elseâs work, and they have just seemed more unique and worth watching.

I remember being fascinated by deep sea life as a child. The creatures there were so monstrous and alien. My mother on the other hand was terrified of them as she had thalassophobia. When I asked her why they had ugly and horrific appearances, she responded," The closer they are to hell, the more demonic they become." It's a quote that sticks with me even now.

This video reminds me of a tale my Father (a Marine Corps veteran and, more recently, a retired police officer) sometimes recounts from when he was active duty in the 80s.
Dad was scuba diving in Okinawa, Japan, in the year 1985, nearby Camp Courtney. He and three other guys were in the water for about thirty minutes, two to three hundred yards from shore, before they came back to shore. While standing on the docks, unloading the gear from the boat, his buddy gestured with a "hey, look at that" and Dad looked up to see a fairly long flatbed truck on a nearby roadway, driving right to left up an incline, and on the flatbed was what looked to be a very, very large fish that was partially covered in what looked like a tarp, it's tail-end long enough that it was hanging off the back of the truck. There were two locals riding on the top of the strapped down fish as the truck went along as if they were riding a horse.
The next day, the guy who had said "hey, look at that" walked in at where Dad was working on the Marine Corps base, and the buddy tossed down a local Japanese newspaper on the desk. Once again, he said "look at that", and what was on the paper was a photograph of a Great White Shark on the back of a truck, with it's mouth winched open and one guy sitting on the back of the shark with the rope holding the mouth open and another man standing next to the mouth. The mouth was so large he could have stepped into it. The newspaper had the date on it, which showed that the picture was from the day before.
His buddy said, "That was the 'fish' from yesterday. It was in the same bay as us while we were in the water."
Suffice to say, my Father has NOT been scuba diving since.

Subnautica is like a roller coaster of emotions. One moment I'm terrified and trying to avoid the notice of the Ghost Leviathan, and then moments later I find what looks like an underwater tree holding a giant egg and surrounded by blue tide pools and angelic neon blue rays. I remember I was so stunned by that area that I had to go tear down my base and rebuild it there.

as someone who loves the ocean, oceanic horror is definitely my favorite kind of horror. partially cause it doesnât keep me up at night but also because the ocean is just. so scary. even if you know about whatâs down there, itâs still really spooky to think about the depths

"The true terror of any sailor is not sailing the seas nor the raging tides but forgetting how deep the water you float on really is. How ancient the tides truly are, and when you gaze into that deep abyss as water fills your lungs, every sailor knows that something is with you good or bad, never forget that."

I was once swimming in Greece checking out the awesome fish when at some point I became aware of how deep I was. I looked out away from the shore and it was absolutely giant. The blue went on for what seemed like forever, like anything could come out at any second. This is probably what introduced me to the intensity the ocean holds

Note for anyone that's curious as to why SCP-3000 is so popular - the reason is because the -000 entries are chosen by competition, with multiple submissions being voted on by the community to determine which one gets to occupy the slot.
The reason 3000 won is not just because of that it's a giant eel, but because it's forms a major part of the Foundation, namely it's ability to produce a substance, Y-909, that allows the creation of extremely effective amnestics (the drugs used to give people selective amnesia so the Foundation can uphold the masquerade of normalcy despite all the crazy shit that goes on).
The way it does this, at least given the information shared, is through the ingestion of people. It doesn't digest them, but instead seems to absorb their sapience and secrete the 'leftovers' in the form of a jelly through its skin that's then collected by the Foundation for the production of their amnestics. And yes, the Foundation does regularly feed D-class to 3000 so it keeps producing Y-909. The eel also has the effect of making people slowly lose their memories (and at times replace them with the memories of others) by being near it for extended periods of time.
A better example for fear of the deep sea might have been SCP-169, which is titled 'Leviathan', as it is estimated to be between 2000-8000 KM long and is located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, possibly stretching around the tip of South America; or SCP-1128, which is aquatic predator that, if a person is given a full description of the being's appearance through either spoken/written descriptions or visual depictions of the being, will pull any person that is submerged into a body of water (even a bath tub or a kiddy pool) into a large stretch of ocean to be devoured attacked by it.

When you're on land, you're in society. When you're in the water, you're in the food chain.

I have mild thalassophobia I think. Thinking about deep places in the ocean and stuff really freaks me out. I have a love/hate relationship with it, because I like watching documentaries and stuff that explore it, but then again, I have sort of a deep fear of imagining being in it myself. I've had nightmares about it. It's still estimated that there's a ridiculous amount of creatures down there that we haven't discovered, and I'm sure some of them are absolutely horrifying and God knows when they could just kinda show up out of the woodwork. It's spooky.

A body of water with nothing in it, is just as scary as one filled with creatures. Because youâre so small, you still feel uncomfortable alone, and an empty body of water is just as dangerous as one that isnât.

Playing Subnautica is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I have ever had, what a masterpiece of a game. Its scarier than an actual horror game without even trying to scare you lol

A common thread in the SCP community is the use of Amnestics, a chemical that can make people completely forget recent events and memories and is usually used to cover up things like newly discovered SCP's and containment breaches. It is believed that the Amnestics are either made from the secretions of SCP-3000 or that they were inspired by and based off of the effect SCP-3000 seems to have on those who encounter it.

I feel like the opportunity to bring up âsomaâ was missed, itâs legitimately one of the scariest games Iâve ever played and the mission of navigating between outposts in the deep sea totally fits with everything described here

You can also get this experience by doing a night swim in the ocean. I went on a night dive. Outside of the beam of your flashlight is pitch darkness. It was amazing seeing these glowing worm creatures, squid, and octopi. Feeling like a shark could loom out of the darkness as any moment. And I've never done it since lol, absolutely terrifying. This was a really interesting video (I subbed), I picked up Iron Lung immediately. What a great concept for a game.

Even though I have Thalassophobia, Iâm kind of obsessed with gigantic sea monsters hiding within the watery abyss
