SCP 5201 is an endemic and carnivorous subspecies of Homo sapiens that have inhabited the Philippines, known in local folklore and myths as the "Manananggal".
SCP5201 was the only known natural aphotic parthenogenetic mammalian species. SCP-5201 asexually reproduce between the 15th to 20th autotomic stage, during which the lower body regenerates its own upper torso via a process similar to epimorphic regeneration observed in autotomous lizards.

Here's one key trait of the Manananggal that is not in the SCP file: The sound it produce is very deceptive. If it's too loud, it means it's far away. But if it's too faint, then you're screwed. Also, "Project Dipsy" is based on real-life mass hysteria regarding alleged attacks of aswangs and the manananggal in the Philippines during the late 90s.

They are practically two similar aggressive spirits / demons. Both mythologies are related in one way or another because of the geography of both countries (Philippines and Malaysia) being relatively close to one another.

[@redlady120]

@@lastofthe4horsemen279 not really. And here's the part that's really catching. In the Philippines it is tradition to NOT allow a pregnant woman to be alone for the very reason of such entities being around. I have 3 kids and all throughout their pregnancies I have been never allowed to be alone especially at night. I live in Manila and this is a known thing. The scenario in the story would be real if the woman would be in small towns called barrios that you would literally have to ride hours from the city. And roofing in the Philippines for basic housinh isn't exactly like how it is in other countries. It's sheet corrugated metal over wood frame separated by 3 feet of space then plywood. No foam or insulation of any kind. So it's pretty much it. Modern ones have better designs. The one in the story follows the sheet metal-plywood bit. Traditional roofing would be thatched roofing over bamboo frames and plywood-a much easier barrier for the mananaggal to go through.

My uncle who I regard highly for his values and all, he is very serious in his practice of his belief, in short he is just the last person who would think will lie about an encounter with a creature like this. But he told us, he once saw the half body of this creature in his backyard at night. He was collecting some banana leaves then which he will use to cook some "moron" (a traditional Filipino dish) when he saw a pair of legs hiding besides the banana trees. When he got close to see a closer look, he saw a half-body of the mananaggal. He was terrified so he went straight home and didn't sleep that night.

[@mavenrulz1719]

Well if it did happen he should’ve sprinkled salt on the lower half to banish it

[@bisanopait9790]

@PaperMan yes, it could have been that. I myself don't believe in such entities nor do I believe in other paranormals. But I believe my uncle, whether it was a reality or just a figment of his imagination, I know he definitely had that experience.

[@adrianradu2332]

You know, it's usually people who believe this stuff the most who will swear that what they see is what they believe. It's a common psychological thing. When I was young, I used to believe in ghosts. I was crazy about all of these ghost stories. When you are very mentally inclined to believe this stuff, then it's not hard for your brain to automatically associate anything that you cannot explain to that thing you believe in. At the time I swear that I could hear voices whispering in the dark, I could see faces or flashing movement in the dark, or hear footsteps at night. Now that I'm a grown up, I don't believe any of this anymore, thus I don't have anymore "paranormal" or unexplainable encounters. I am sure that if your uncle saw whatever he saw but didn't believe these stories at all, then he would have been able to easily explain that it was probably just some tree stump that looked a lot like a lower half or something of that nature. But because he believed that at the time, his brain completed the image of what he saw with what he was most likely to believe it was. I don't think he lied, but I am sure that whatever he saw, was very easily explained with logic. The same process goes for overly religious people who attribute events or images to divine signs and other paranoia of that nature. It's a well known and understood phenomenon.

[@hakimdiwan5101]

@@adrianradu2332 I also thought that his uncle might have looked at tree stump. My bro believes in ghosts and claimed to have seen them in our house while no one else has experienced anything remotely paranormal. Amazing how mind works.

Year later I learned I had witnessed an unusually large ball lightening display. In 1995 I went to a local diner and had a glass of water while waiting for my meal. I set the glass down after taking a drink. A minute later it moved four or five inches. I had drunk half the contents and the glass was covered in dense condensation. The AC had just come on and one of the vents was next to and directed towards my table, a perfect storm to move that glass without human assistance.

Fun fact: the name Manananggal is derived from the word "Tanggal"... which is "remove / to remove" or "separate / to separate" in Tagalog. Roughly translated, mananaggal means "separator"... One more thing the SCP foundation can use to counter these creatures is to wear a garlic wreath or equivalent. Like vampires, they're afraid of the purifying effect of garlic. Some accounts say they're also afraid of bronze and scythes so that might be able to help kill them if needed. Holy Water also works against them I think these Mananggals are probably the Philippine's equivalent to the Indonensian Penanggalan Anyway, it would be difficult to fully contain SCP-5201 because there is actually a ritual that allows a person to willingly turn in to one. All I know about it is that it involves a "special ointment" and finding a black chick... and a particular incantation I do not know... but once completing the ritual, a person can become one of them

There are many more like the "Sirena" or mermaids, the "Tikbalang" or the half man-half horse, "Sigbin" and the "Siyokoy" which is similar to a merman but has a fish-like appearance.

No This stories made to scare pregnant women and learn lessons for how they keep their fetuses away and they're sleep in room that are having everything closed in door well

[@stickfigureanimations7530]

It made to scare pregnant women not children

[@rmsromarmoom]

Wow since I'm Filipino so this is completely accurate

[@crisppotatoez4645]

As a Filipino watching this, I'm pretty happy

[@zacharyfrierson6972]

I had a feeling the old woman had something to do with the SCP given her mannerisms.

[@buhaytindero528]

The reality is pregnant woman in our country put a whole garlic on the top of their bellybutton before they sleep. If the garlic changed to color similar to an onion ,smelled like burning tire and rotten meat it means the manananggal tried to eat the baby.

[@wogelson]

13:10 wow I'm currently watching the Grimm series and today I saw an episode about this very creature. They called it the aswang. It's around s3e14 if anyone's curious

[@dood2516]

pov: you are a Filipino "YOOOO DR. BOB POSTED AN SCP THAT IS BASED ON MYTHS FROM THE PHILIPPINES LETS GOOOOOOOOO"

[@TheMightyCrucibleKnight184]

Huh. Never thought the SCP community will make the manananggal into a SCP anomaly, I am sooooo honoured mabuhay!. Edit: I was waiting for your pronunciation, and I am not complaining you pretty nailed the pronouncing of the name.

[@Nightguy13425]

[@torymann248]

Some are actually real just saying.

Mangbabarang(also a witch use a picture and get some insect, the Man in the picture feel sick and having insect in his mouth).

[@vladtheimpaler9577]

Funny, I just watched a mythology video about this monster a few days ago. Do you have these moments when you learn something new and soon after that thing appears in conversation or in a youtube recommendation?

[@austinarendall4841]

I don't care the culture; when a woman is pregnant, she needs help with household chores more than ever. One wrong move and there's no telling what might happen.

[@waylin2220]

I love how he bring the monster from other cultures

[@samuelronquillo2960]

Counter in mananangal is gun with copper bullet, copper machete, bamboo with sharp tip, salt and garlic

[@MattSopro-c5m]

Most of the filipino house it have a window that do not hove glass becose thay dont have money to buy so they just leave it alone

[@wolfcity1428]

this guy helps us with the facts if scps were real

[@royaldwinluna2842]

This is so sick. Our shape shifter has gone international. I wonder how the other entities can be added since majority of them are elemental.

[@devoncliburn7989]

Finding the uterus through the throat makes more sense than the actual myth. Goes through the belly button.

[@Sage_genz]

I am a Filipino,i always watch your videos and always waiting for another up coming videos every day,and i always imagine if our country have a scp in your videos,so when i saw this i was so happy thank youuu i hope more videos to come my idolo✨(idol)

[@Dyrroth_Main12]

[@littlegamedude6351]

The Manananggal? Sounds like how the one guy mispronounced pregnant. "Pregananant?!"

[@VercilJuan]

Thats a funny assessment hahah. But yeah locally it means "The separator", fun fact

[@Pulse6799]

Gold

[@tekkenlord9099]

I'm so happy you made a video about this Filipino SCP. You should make a video about SCP 3906 next

[@peterstoric6560]

It’s a good day when you get a briefing from dr Bob

[@anothertarnishedone5960]

I remember watching an episode based in this creature in a HBO show about Asian folklore. Quite instructive.

[@darkassaultwolf421]

Imagine if the scp foundation is real it’s just seen as fiction

[@kuyakivs5183]

While watching and listening I feel like this SCP program totally exist

[@bassitz2559]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort he puts in the videos for us😇.

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

"She just needs to keep her head on her shoulders" I see you Doctor.

[@TommyTiger619]

I remember someone telling me this story when I was 6 years old. I brought it up to a couple people when I got older. They didn't know what I was talking about.

[@MrMaradok]

16:40 Looking like a pair of Balmonts there!

[@alexwikky5604]

Damn dr bob, I’m really getting goosebumps by your sophisticated way of telling stories It’s nothing ordinary, it sounds like you’re talking about a legend with the lips of an angel The words you use The sentences you form, purely amazing

[@somayadoron8397]

This scp's weakness is fire garlic and salt and a crucifix like a vampire

[@konnorplays985]

I guess this is a win for people who have two babies because it will probably only eat one

[@espinojhamil]

I grew up in a village like this where belief of folklore is still alive..My grandma is a local healer and I remember her giving a pair of scissors made of copper to expecting women..advising them to keep it under their pillow just incase the intruder comes so they could cut their tounge..and we also look for a special kind of bamboo called "bagakay" and we place it near their bed with the pointy end towards the roof...

[@sturmpiger2]

Mananananggal can be found on Cebu. Their Lower Torso can be found on caves. If you found one, place salt to hurt it, or burn it. So the Mananananggal wont reunite to their body on morning. A Filipino advice gave you this. Thank you! I'll give more Information.
