The Scungilli Man
The Scungilli Man is an entity described as a 7-foot-tall humanoid creature resembling a mix of sea creatures. According to legend, if a person says the Scungilli Man's name, he will gain access to their mind.
The Legend of the Scungilli Man
The Scungilli Man is a creepy, humanoid entity that looks like a 7-foot tall human mixed with some sea creatures. He lives in his own pocket dimension called "The Mouth of Madness".
Not much is known about him, but legend has it that if you say his name, he'll be able to see you and control your thoughts. If you say it 9 times, you become one of his slaves, known as "The Scungilled". These people then spread the word about the Scungilli Man, giving him more power.
He wants to get into our world by becoming well-known and eventually taking over a host organism. To protect yourself from him, you shouldn't say his name and if you have, try your best to not say it again. You can refer to him by a different name without any problem.
Doctor_Anger’s Encounter with the Scungulli Man
A reddit user named Doctor_Anger posted a detailed account of their experiences with the Scungilli man.
Doctor_Anger was shocked when they heard Henry from the Last Podcast on the Left talking about the Scungilli Man during an episode about the Slenderman phenomenon.
Doctor_Anger grew up on Long Island in NY and spent their summers catching clams in the Great South Bay. They were always disturbed by the way the whelks native to the area fed, which was through drilling a hole through the shell of a clam and eating it from the inside out.
This led to a recurring nightmare for Doctor_Anger, where a Scungile would crawl onto their face and drill through their head, eating their brain from the inside out. They would awake from these nightmares about the Scungilli man with a pounding headache and a recurring painful red mark where the drilling had taken place in the dream. They went to a dermatologist about the mark and were told it was just acne but, strangely, it would always reappear after the Scungilli man dreams.
Doctor_Anger also developed a fear of this monster, which they named the "Scungile Man". As they got older, they moved away from the seashore and the nightmares stopped, but after moving to the west coast, the nightmares started again. Doctor_Anger is now often haunted by the Scungilli Man in their dreams.
