0:00.0	Substation 9
0:04.0	We spend a great amount of time on this channel looking at the SCP Foundation and how they tackle the anomalous,
0:11.0	usually by capturing it, studying it, and keeping it contained for years on end.
0:17.0	Sometimes we see normal people interact with anomalies, but generally these are short, tragic bursts of horror before the foundation can come in to handle things.
0:27.6	Parawatch, on the other hand, is an online group of conspiracy theorists and paranormal enthusiasts that seek out anomalies, hoping to peel back any inch of the veil they can.
0:40.3	Parwatch in the SCP universe is very much inspired by the countless creepy pasta posts that have showed up over the years,
0:47.3	which brings us to substation 9, a Parawatch article in the vein of a creepy pasta, with an individual sharing some info on a very creepy location.
0:58.8	I'll note that this article does feature a handful of images and videos which greatly add to the experience,

1:41.3	substations to make sure an OCB hasn't tripped, or an eagle hasn't nested on top of a transformer.
1:47.0	I work the graveyard shift, which means most of my nights are spent sitting in a trailer and fighting for enough cell reception to stave off the crippling boredom.
1:58.0	The only time this job involves any actual work is when it rains.
2:03.6	First, some background. Whatever image you've got in your head of this place, you're probably wrong.
2:10.6	It's a couple thousand acres of woodlands, rivers, and country roads with the occasional warehouse in a field.
2:18.5	Calling this place remote doesn't do it justice.
2:22.1	Even folks in the boonies don't know we're here.
2:24.9	There's nobody around except the deer.
