Classification: Drafted and Awaiting Final Review
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be contained in a windowless cell of at least 30 meters in length and width, and 5 meters in height to provide substantial room for a blood frenzy with minimal risk of damage to the walls or ceiling. All walls are to be constructed of no less than 30 cm 60cm of steel-silicon alloy, and the doors of at least 10 cm 40cm of tungsten-steel alloy. The entrance of the cell is to use an airlock set of two doors which may not be opened under any circumstances other than the periodically scheduled painting of the room or on direct order from the site administrator. Even in the case of such exceptions, no organism containing blood may proceed past the first door without wearing a disinfected airtight suit. An automatic elevating platform is to be placed in the center of the cell, leading up to the cattle room. This platform is required to have an additional manual control to prevent a failure to feed SCP-XXX during a site-wide loss of power. At least two cameras must be placed on the cell ceiling to maintain visuals on SCP-XXX at all times. If SCP-XXX displays any abnormal behavior a lock-down of the wing housing SCP-XXX is to be initiated immediately until further notice.
A constant supply of about twenty slaughterhouse-bound cattle is to be maintained at all times. A set feeding schedule is impossible to maintain due to the unpredictable nature of SCP-XXX, so SCP-XXX will be fed upon the standard visual cues of restlessness, teeth gnashing, and pacing in the Southeast corner. A single cow it to be fed using the platform when SCP-XXX is ready to be fed. The platform is not to be raised back up until SCP-XXX's bloody frenzy has abated to ensure no damage is inflicted on the platform's support structure. While SCP-XXX does not follow a specific pattern, an average of 2-6 hours between feedings has been noted.
The cell housing SCP-XXX is to be periodically painted twice a week by 5 Class-D's after a recent blood frenzy. The walls do not require a complete coat, but should be significantly covered with paint. The paint used is required to have a lingering, overpoweringly repugnant odor. This is necessary to mask the scent of humans located outside cell from SCP-XXX's superior sense of smell, in addition to dulling it. A more intense version of the paint is to be used on the elevating platform to deter SCP-XXX from attempting to breach containment using the lift. The painting is not to extend over 2 hours, as this is the minimum guaranteed time between feedings. If the painting is not fully completed, it will be resumed upon the completion of the next feeding. If SCP-XXX unexpectedly becomes hostile during the painting, the doors to the chamber are to be locked immediately and are not to be opened until SCP-XXX has finished its blood frenzy. Another, single Class D will be sent in to retrieve what remains of the supplies.
All personnel assigned to SCP-XXX must undergo a regular mental screening to ensure no negative psychological effects of witnessing or hearing a blood frenzy. If any personnel fail to pass the test, they will be reassigned. In addition, any personnel wishing to be reassigned may do so, but only after a replacement is found. All foundation employees assigned to SCP-XXX must be in perfect mental health to quickly and effeciently respond to potential problems. Unconscious fear of SCP-XXX will severely inhibit reaction times in the case of an emergency. If any personnel are detained attempting to release SCP-XXX, they are to undergo immediate termination after interrogation. A replacement is to be assigned following the termination of the previous personnel.
After the events of Incident I-XXX-B, at least eight security personnel are to be specifically assigned to the wing housing SCP-XXX at all times. These personnel are to be provided quarters near SCP-XXX's cell to ensure a rapid response time during breaches. They will be provided tranquilizer guns loaded with appropriately scaled sedative rounds of ammunition. If SCP-XXX breaches containment, all security personnel are to subdue it with any means necessary short of utilizing other non-security personnel as bait. At least two security personnel must be present at the door to the chamber and in the control room at all times. Shift rotations can be decided at the leisure of the on-duty security detail.
In addition to armed personnel, additional blast doors are to be installed in the site wing housing SCP-XXX. The following areas are designated for blast door installation:
- The staircase leading to the cattle storage room
- The entrance to the control room
- The entrance to the security personnel quarters
- All hallways leading to other areas of the site
All blast doors must have a non-electric manual override of some form.
Description: SCP-XXX was first discovered in 2/15/██ after reports were received that numerous villages on the south border of the Amazon Rainforest were performing sacrifices to appease what they claimed was the physical manifestation of their God of Death. A team of agents was sent out to investigate if there was any possibility of an SCP being involved. During their investigation, the villages informed Agent ██████ that a sacrifice was chosen from the local livestock or villagers themselves and was tied to a sturdy tree for the night, far from the village and close to the forest itself. After a night full of screams and deafening roars, all that was found the next morning was a massive pool of blood and a severed rope. It was considered taboo to attempt to view the deity, as no person who did so had survived the night. On the night of 2/20/██, Foundation agents attempted to make visual contact with the being at night. All contact was lost and the agents have never been recovered. They have since been assumed dead.
9 failed attempts at securing SCP-XXX were performed before Mobile Task Force Zeta-1 was formed for the containment of SCP-XXX, now deemed to be an extreme threat to all biological organisms if it were to ever leave the Amazon. MTF Zeta-1 was given explicit orders to contain SCP-XXX through any means possible, and if deemed impossible, was to be terminated. MTF Zeta-1 engaged SCP-XXX on 5/3/██ at 9:45 PM. After 7 hours of intense combat, Zeta-1 finally manages to fully incapacitate SCP-XXX by igniting the entire village and nearby border of the forest, pinning SCP-XXX under several tons of fallen trees. SCP-XXX's head is severed and placed inside of an armored transport vehicle, with members of MTF Zeta-1 inflicting further physical trauma if necessary to keep SCP-XXX from regenerating. SCP-XXX's head was delivered to Site █ on 5/5/██, where it was contained and allowed to regenerate again. SCP-XXX took only 3 hours to fully reform its body from the remaining head.
SCP-XXX is a massive, wolf-like canid of approximately 2 meters in height and 4 meters in length. Its body is skinless, covered in a reddish flesh instead of fur. Upon further analysis, SCP-XXX's body seems to be made entirely of blood cells, with the sole exception being its teeth and claws, which are made of a very durable but unknown material. How it functions without any sort of skeletal structure or other types of cells is unknown. It also possesses large, serrated teeth and long sharp claws on all four feet. Both claws and teeth are on average half a meter or more in length.
SCP-XXX has no eyes, and has no visible eye sockets either. Instead, SCP-XXX relies on its very powerful sense of smell, enabling it to detect the scent of blood over 20 km away. It is also inexplicably capable of detecting scents through dense solid materials, such as steel or concrete. However, it is susceptible to the normal strategies of scent evasion, including scent masking and remaining downwind from SCP-XXX. The scent being used to deceive SCP-XXX must be powerful, as a weaker scent has been deemed ineffective in all scenarios.
SCP-XXX has a muscular build, and possesses an agility and strength much greater than even its appearance would suggest. SCP-XXX has been observed to cover distances of 20 meters in less than a second, throw armored vehicles with minimal effort, and most notably fully punctured 10cm of steel-tungsten alloy during Incident I-XXX-B. Bullets do not seem to have an effect on SCP-XXX, with all minor wounds scabbing and then healing in seconds. Detached limbs regenerate quickly as well, with the body forming a temporary limb out of solidified blood before flesh reforms over it in a matter of minutes. SCP-XXX has been able to eventually recover from any damage it has received, no matter how severe. While any body part is capable of regenerating the rest of the body, including its head, multiple instances of SCP-XXX will not form from severed limbs. The largest intact chunk of SCP-XXX seems to have the regenerative priority, and it will reform its body from that piece. SCP-XXX's cells are capable of multiplying infinitely at an incredible rate, however this is notably decreased if SCP-XXX suffers massive amount of physical trauma. Tranquilizer sedatives do have an effect, although it takes a significant amount to pacify SCP-XXX during a blood frenzy.
SCP-XXX's most significant behavioral trait is its apparent need to feed addiction to blood. When in the presence of blood or a live organism containing blood, SCP-XXX may enter a highly aggressive state referred to as the blood frenzy. In this state SCP-XXX will mutilate, disembowel, and dismember any nearby organism. This frenzy state has been observed to last as long as two hours without pause. Once the blood frenzy is completed, the only remains of the victims are pools of blood on the floor of the cell. SCP-XXX will then proceed to sniff up the blood systematically, leaving very little left in most cases. Occasionally SCP-XXX will not sniff up all the blood, and will ingest the remainder later. During an indefinite amount of time lasting longer than two hours, SCP-XXX will enter a passive state and will not react to anything inside of its cell during this time. It is never certain how long this passive period lasts and it ends abruptly, making any attempted tests difficult to perform without loss of personnel.
SCP-XXX does not appear to care what kind of blood it is ingesting, as long as it fits into two criteria determined by remote testing:
- The blood cannot be artificial in nature
- The blood must be from an organism SCP-XXX has killed
If the blood provided does not meet these standards, SCP-XXX will not react to the blood in the slightest. It has been determined that SCP-XXX will ingest aged blood from an organism it killed in the past. There has not yet been a proper test done on this observation, as retrieving a substantial enough amount of blood from SCP-XXX's cell is nearly impossible.
Addendum SCP-XXX: Testing
Test A - 9/12/██
Subject: SCP-XXX
Procedure: SCP-XXX was heavily tranquilized while in its docile state after a blood frenzy. Subject's left rear leg was then severed and removed from the chamber for detailed examination. SCP-XXX quickly regenerated a new limb while still unconscious.
Results: After about two hours, the limb melted into a pool of blood, allowing for easy sampling. Cellular activity continued for over eight hours, before slowly ceasing. Blood was placed in storage at Site-████
Analysis: SCP-XXX's cells possess incredible vitality, able to independently function and reproduce for hours in non-standard and normally lethal conditions.
Dr. █████████: These cells are unbelievably potent, over five times faster and more reliable than current stem cell technology! If we could just keep one sample alive, we could make some serious medical breakthroughs here.
Test B - 2/21/██
Subject: SCP-XXX & Male D-Class
Procedure: D-Class provided a hazardous materials suit coated in paint and sent inside SCP-XXX's containment chamber two hours after the last blood frenzy.
Results: SCP-XXX expresses curiosity at the D-Class, circling him and sniffing at the suit. As SCP-XXX gets fidgety from its growing desire to feed, it begins to prod the D-Class and roar, appearing to try to provoke a response. D-Class backs up to the door of the chamber and asks to be let out. A cattle is let down from the feeding room to distract SCP-XXX as the D-Class exits the chamber through a partially opened door. SCP-XXX performs its blood frenzy as usual.
Analysis: If SCP-XXX is unable to smell blood it will delay and possibly stop a blood frenzy from occurring. Requesting permission from site administrator to consider painting the walls with powerful scents to dull SCP-XXX's sense of smell.
Test C - 12/2/██
Subject: SCP-XXX
Procedure: SCP-XXX is prevented from feeding for an extended period of time.
Results: See Breach Incident Report I-XXX-B
Analysis: SCP-XXX must be fed whenever it starts to show signs of restlessness. All further testing on SCP-XXX is hereby prohibited without direct authorization and supervision of the site administrator.
Dr. ██████: I want to know what moron decided that not feeding that thing was a smart idea. He just cost us a good four hundred thousand dollars in damages and got ██ people killed. I almost hope he was one of the people that died.
Addendum SCP-XXX: Incident Reports
Facility network is compromised and power is cut to Area-████. All doors and cameras are rendered inoperable in the wing housing SCP-XXX. As three hours pass, increasingly violent noises can be heard from SCP-XXX's chamber, including scratching, roaring, and [REDACTED]. After four hours facility power is restored and SCP-XXX is quickly fed. Observation of SCP-XXX's chamber shows it is now covered in numerous gashes and dents, as well as a large pool of blood in the northwest corner of the chamber. Its origin is unknown, but SCP-XXX seems to have no interest in it.
Dr. ███: We got lucky with this one. Any longer and SCP-XXX might have attempted to escape containment. As far as we know a network breach at this location was just a coincidence. But if somebody is trying to let SCP-XXX out, we are going to have some serious problems. I would like to request manual controls for SCP-XXX's containment chamber and all related doors in the area. If something like this happens again we NEED to be able to feed it.
Audio log of the debriefing of Captain ███████ following Breach Incident I-XXX-B
Interviewed: Captain ███████ of Area-████ Task Force Iota-7
Interviewer: Dr. ██████, current on-site supervisor of SCP-XXX
<Begin Log>
Dr. ██████: Are you ready to talk now?
Capt. ███████: [Interviewed finishes drinking a cup of coffee and places it down roughly] Yeah, I think I'm good to go now.
Dr. ██████: Well then. Could you please describe to me what occurred on ██/██/████?
Capt. ███████: I don't know the details of how it got out, if that's what you want. I only got to see the aftermath. The damn thing managed to smash a hole straight through the airlock. That was almost four whole inches of steel. Whatever they did to it, you can bet it wasn't happy with the result.
Dr. ██████: Didn't you ask anyone who was part of the group assigned to SCP-XXX? Somebody had to have known what happened.
Capt. ███████: Their bloodstains weren't real talkative. We didn't find a single survivor anywhere, and we looked everywhere. One poor guy got [REDACTED] in the storage closet. Made even the most hardened of us a bit nauseous.
Dr. ██████: What state was SCP-XXX in when your team apprehended it?
Capt. ███████: Non-compliant, to say the least. You could practically feel the rage even without the eyes. Call me crazy, but I think that dog was out for revenge, not food. The amount of people it killed and the area it covered wasn't normal. It should have calmed down at some point, but it was hardly calm when we engaged it. It wasn't even sniffing up the blood like it usually does, just looking for its next kill.
Dr. ██████: Were there any problems re-containing SCP-XXX?
Capt. ███████: Calling it a simple problem is a massive understatement. We only found the thing because it burst out of the control room and killed two of my men before we even knew what happened. We must have have put enough tranquilizers in that dog to kill an entire whale before it finally started to slow down. After it finally fell asleep we cut off its legs and dragged it back to the chamber before it could finish regenerating them.
Dr. ██████: Anything else?
Capt. ███████: Yea. Find out from those bashed up computers in the control room what the hell those guys were thinking, and then don't repeat their mistake.

Discovery and Abilities
A Stone Age human skull found at the Gobero archeological site. The skull in question was singled out due to other bones moving around nearby it, appearing to be trying but failing to form a body. The skull appears to be possessed in some form and has limited telekinetic control over any nearby objects. At a distance of about 5 yards, this power is limited to simply moving things, causing them to fly, etc. However, if the skull is directly inserted into an object (e.g. placed into a pool of water, or a hole gouged into a rock) it gains a much more impressive control of the object, able to fully manipulate, mold, and move the object it is in. It has formed crude bodies out of large stones, and serpent-like forms out of water. Objects and materials possessed in this manner are seemingly free from many of the laws of physics, able to defy gravity by rising without support and freely float in the air. After the skull is inserted, it seems to form an indefinite bond with the object, no longer having to be directly in contact or inside the object, but still within a few inches to control it. Moving it more than 1 foot away will weaken the skull’s power over the object, and 2 feet will cause it to lose control, resulting in the previous “body” collapsing immediately. The skull can also control where it is located inside the body, tunneling about in the stone and usually placing itself where a head would normally be, on the top. While in possession of a body, the telekinetic powers of the skull increase based on the overall size of the body. An accurate scale ratio has yet to be calculated.
The skull appears to be at the very least sentient and semi-intelligent, capable of most tasks a normal human can perform. It has been determined that it cannot see, but instead uses a sub-power of telekinesis to sense where many objects and people are located, as well as what they are doing. Of all five senses, the only one the skull (In a provided body) is obviously capable of is touch, as it can recognize and react to different textures when coming into contact with them. Research is being done to determine if sign language is a possible method of communication. It seems to be curious about the world around it, but has no grasp of its own power and constitution in certain bodies, sometimes crushing desks and lamps with its stone hands and on one occasion terrifying a female employee as she accidentally walked straight through it. Because of the skull’s blindness, it is difficult to think of ways to educate it, as speech or writing cannot be used.
Permission was asked for and obtained for an operation to surgically insert the skull into the de-skulled head of a recently deceased human being (As we all know, the foundation has no shortage of these). Upon the completion of the surgery (final stiches and such), the skull was able to fully function as a normal human would, with all five senses. However, it is unable to understand or speak any known language. It appears to be trying to speak a long dead language, which has no possible way of being translated without decades of effort. While in possession of the body, all the organs surprisingly started to work again, even though it had already been determined that the skull did not need human organs to survive anymore. Testing was done on the necessity of the bones in the body by shattering the right leg of the body. The skull appeared to express annoyance, but nothing more, and was not in the least bit hindered by the destroyed leg and continued to walk on it normally. A replacement bone was surgically inserted to replace the previous destroyed one. The body completely stopped decomposing and was fully capable of self-improvement exercises such as aerobic training and weightlifting, showing noticeable results. The skull has significantly reduced its telekinetic powers. While no definite reason is apparent, it is assumed it is focusing all of its power on maintaining the body. After a lengthy period, the DNA of the body started to change by itself, though nobody is quite sure what it is turning into. The possessed body is growing much more hair than it should be, and the figure is becoming very robust and muscular with minimal effort. A possible theory is that the body is devolving back into a Cro-Magnon human of the same era as its host skull. Attempts at further education were made, but the inability to read, write or understand modern languages made the efforts all in vain once again.
Another request was submitted to attempt to surgically place a brain inside the skull, under the assumption that it might be possible to be used as effectively as the other organs in the body. At completion the skull made a startlingly large jump in intelligence, able to fluently read, write and speak. A feature of some noteworthiness is its new ability to speak French, something the previous owner of the brain was able to do as well. Upon further study and multiple brain scans, it was determined that while the skull could form its own thoughts and memories now, it also held the old memories and cognitive abilities of the previous owner of the brain. This was discovered after being shown pictures of different areas of the world, and claiming to recognize some of them. When shown a picture of the previous man’s family, the skull appeared to show longing of a sort, but also verbally admitted it could not return to them, as it was not the man they once knew. The skull is able to learn unbelievably fast, and has already mastered over 4 different languages as well as comprehended various complex scientific theories. Speculation is being made that while it uses the provided brain as a basis for its knowledge, like the other organs in its body it is not fully needed and thus is possibly not limited by the same things normal humans are. This might be the same being or entity that is actually controlling the skull, and was simply unable to communicate to learn before.
Classification and Containment:
Because of the overall peaceful and generally cooperative nature of the skull and its now deemed permanent body, an object class of Euclid learning towards Safe seems appropriate. (If it’s possible to do that, I’m not quite sure.) The skull is provided his own simple room on-site (Can easily be described later, I wanted to focus on the object itself, not its bland room), and is free to visit all non-restricted areas in the site. It may not leave the site, and is to be accompanied by one non D-class escort. (This could mean any other person in the facility. The skull is a curious, friendly entity. D-class is not needed (plus they aren’t allowed to roam free) and the skull is completely capable of helping in a multitude of tasks. Further monitoring should not be needed.) The skull could possibly be able to assist with other SCP related affairs, such as the discreet capturing of mildly dangerous SCPs in populated areas, as it does not look or act differently than a normal human but still feels no pain, is not affected by crippled limbs and at this point is in peak physical condition.
Classification: Vague Narrative at Best. No Potential.
A unidentifiable humanoid entity that has been seen in millions of different locations throughout recorded history. Wears a fashionable formal suit and tie combination, normally with no headgear. Always stands with its head mostly obscured by something, whether it be a sign, tree, shadow, or anything else that obstructs vision. This includes distance, as the unaided human eye cannot accurately see very far. Attempts to use telescopes or binoculars from far away have disturbingly revealed that once again, the humanoid is obstructed by something. It is almost as if it is aware that sight enhancing tools are going to be used. This obstruction takes place from multiple angles, as if the humanoid has an acute awareness of all that are observing it.
Occasionally can be seen writing various information on a notepad it carries somewhere on it's person. As the notepad is not obstructed, it can be observed using sight enhancing tools. It appears to be highly detailed notes of the actions of all humans in the observable vicinity. Subject can write legibly extremely fast, but not at superhuman levels. If what it is writing is being observed for extended periods of time, the humanoid will pause, and turn its whole body to face the person reading. Despite the sometimes physical obstruction of the face between the SCP and the observing agent, (a signpost or tree trunk) said agents always report an overwhelming feeling of being watched from all sides, paired with a slight sense of annoyance.
When the subject finishes writing (unknown criteria), it will simply vanish. It is completely unknown how it performs this action, but it always occurs when agents blink or break line of sight. This will happen when all agents break line of sight at the same time, and has of now never failed to happen. Attempts have been made to never lose line of sight with the subject through various means, including advanced inter-agent communication and multiple agents. These have all ended in failure, with convenient and suspicious occurances taking place. This includes throngs of people appearing and SCP vanishing into the crowd, a nearby building exploding from a terrorist attack, distracting all agents long enough for the subject to vanish, the actual death of one agent through a car accident, once again distracting all agents, and even once a full city blackout at night.
Attempts to approach the subject have all ended in failure, for once again convenient and suspicious reasons. Agents have been pushed back by rush hour crowds, hit by cars, assaulted by rabbid wildlife, and one was even shot by a back alley mugger. In this time the subject had once again vanished.
The subject appears around the world at random, but is always present for any event that could be historically significant. This includes various laws being made, mass terrorist attacks, wars, and other various events. The most reliable events are speeches made by authoritative figures in various countries, as these are scheduled ahead of time and can be monitored easily by foundation agents. This effect has also brought the conclusion that the subject can appear in multiple places at the same time. Just like its ability to vanish, it is completely unknown how it performs this action.
In more recent years, the subject has been spotted during various foundation activities, including containment breaches, SCP site transfers, SCP capturing, and more. This has been unsettling for many field agents, as the intense feeling of being watched is very distracting during vital missions.
Several instances of the subject being seen inside heavily sealed containment chambers have also been reported. The subject usually dissapears quickly before more personnel can be rounded up to try and confront him. He has been seen examining SCPs at close proximity, even incredibly aggressive and lethal creatures. Surprisingly, these SCPs show absolutely no interest in the subject. The SCPs in question do appear to see him, as they will follow him with their eyes and occasionally turn their head to get a better look.
Classification: Narrative Dead End. No Potential.
SCP-XXX is a massive but narrow library found 300 meters underground in a cave located in the Himalayan mountain range. Exact coordinates unspecified. The interior size is estimated to be over 40 km long, however an exact range is impossible to determine. The interior is filled with shelves, all 10 rows high and about 3 meters in height. All the shelves are filled to capacity with books.
Every book in the library is a neat black with simple gold embroidery, and labled with the name of a person, including all middle and last names related to them. On the first few pages before the story begins, an incredibly detailed description of the person is given, including an updated version for every ten years of their life. This is followed by a long index, with page numbers for every day the person on the book was alive. The books, despite not being thick upon initial examination, appear to be able to hold a vast amount of pages, well over 100,000. Attempts to rip out pages or the book itself have been unsuccessful, as the books cannot be damaged by any means.
Each book in the library provides a detailed summary of every day in a specific human's life, including their very thoughts and idle movements (scratching their nose, rubbing their eyes). As such, a single day may take up to 100 pages.
The books do not stop at the present day, nor do they only include people still alive. The books date back the farther into the library you go, with the stories of lives thousands of years old found farther back. However, the book is written in the native language of the main protagonist, making most of them impossible to read.
Unknown how to expand idea further. Modification of stories is too difficult considering book size and the amount of people sharing a name.
Classification: Good Potential. Needs Developing and Drafting.
Try to lose the suicide angle. Go with fading into mist, no noose.
A large graveyard in an unspecified location. Is located on the side of a large hill, with a winding path leading up to a large dead willow tree with a noose hanging from it.
People with strong emotional attachments to a deceased loved one are drawn to the graveyard by instinct. If a person with emotional connections to a deceased person enters the graveyard at night while alone, after a short time a ghostly spectre of their dead loved on will appear before them. Subjects report that the ghost is identical in every way to their loved one, including personality, appearance, and memory of past events.
The ghost will greet and talk to the live subject casually, as if it is not dead. When confronted about it, the ghost will acknowledge its own death, including what it felt as it died. A conversation can be enjoyed with the ghost, about any topic desired.
However, the spirits have their own possibly malicious agenda. They will tempt the live subject into "joining" them by committing suicide in some fashion. There does not seem to be any brain manipulation involved in this, it is purely the ghost speaking. They can do this through multiple means, such as claiming to miss the live subject, begging them to come, or to insist its better on "their side". Whether these are true or not is impossible to determine. The response of the live subject is determined by general sanity and attachment to the dead loved on. A person with a strong attachment but high sanity will generally decline, stating they miss the dead one dearly but wish to live. Those with decreased sanity, often through guilt or just sadness, may accept the offer. If the live subject consents to death, the ghost will lead them up the path to the willow tree. Upon reaching the willow, they will lift the subject into the air and fasten the noose around their neck. Upon finishing, they will drop the subject from the top of the tree, always resulting in death. At this point, a fog pours out from a hole in the tree, washing over the hilltop but not spreading past the gated border. After the fog fades away, the body is gone, with no evidence that it ever was there.
Video recordings of live subjects show the subject appears to be talking to nobody, just the air. No response can be heard from the ghost either, although the subject still reacts to whatever is being said. However, when a subject attempts suicide, they ARE in fact lifted into the air and have the noose fastened around their neck. Once this stage is reached, the subject cannot be saved as nobody can interfere with the noose fast enough to prevent death on final impact.
An unseeable spectre that lives in a house with a chosen host and generally maintains and cares for their well being inside said house. This spectre will do all sorts of of kind tasks, like washing the dishes and making the bed while the house owner is gone. It can also cheer the host up with it’s presence if they are feeling down, described as feeling like somebody is hugging you from behind and causing a warm, fuzzy feeling. It simply asks for three meals in return, and an otherwise unused bed. It makes these and other spontaneous requests known through notes placed by the bedside of the host before they wake up. As long as it’s requests are met, the spectre will continue to care for the house and the host’s well-being. The spectre chooses its host, and tends to choose very kind people. It has been in the care of a man called Danny Tyson for the past 30 years, and the man claims he can see her now after so long together. This is also the longest a single host has been chosen, with no signs of discontent.
An absolutely gigantic pile of human bones in a ditch found in the forest of a small country town after reports of disturbing incidents and attacks. The pit appears to contain at least 40 full human skeletons. It appears to be the dug up site of a mass ritual burial, with stone structures resembling altars and destroyed temples nearby, covered in unknown markings. On the night of a new moon, numerous bones rise from the pile, forming humanoid shapes and appearing to be covered by ghostly transparent bodies, allowing a person to see the bones inside. These bodies have holes for eyes, and no mouths or ears. These bone men have unnatural strength, able to completely overpower and drag away highly trained operatives. Their goal seems to be to forcibly abduct a single human adult (usually from the nearby town) and perform a gruesome ritual on the altars, manually cutting them open and ripping out their bones one at a time without the kidnapped adult dying until the skull is finally removed. The adult is in obviously agonizing pain, screaming at the top of their lungs until they are killed. These bones are added to the pile and the Bone Men vanish, dropping their bones back onto the pile as well. New additions to the pile can also become Bone Men themselves, as observation has confirmed the same bones placed last moon cycle can become Bone Men the next one. If the ritual is not fully completed before the sun rises, the Bone Men retreat to the pit and the victim is left in whatever state he was before the sun rises. The victim often dies instantly from a combination of shock, organ failure, and blood loss. Attempts to end the ritual after it has started are met with insane levels of resistance, sometimes with even more Bone Men emerging from the pile to aid in the resistance. If the ritual is successfully prevented from starting before the sun rises, the Bone Men will retreat back to the pile. The Bone Men have been more than willing to assault and kidnap foundation members if they attempt to stop the Bone Men before they have found a different suitable adult. Because of this it has been deemed necessary to make the path to the town as difficult and impossible as possible, with large pits and steel walls surrounding the pit with all sorts of other obstacles. The Bone Men are not mindless however, and devise new ways to escape every moon cycle.
For each person killed, a new mark appears on the most intact temple nearby. These marking look like they are attempting to fill a sort of calendar on the door to the temple. It is unknown what these markings do, but it is assumed to be nothing good and is to be prevented from completion.
First incident: Bone Men destroy nearby tree and use as a bridge to cross over the ditch. A woman from the town was kidnapped and killed.
Second Incident: Bone Men formed a bridge out of their own bodies after all trees were removed. Sun rose just before their victim, an elderly man, was irreversibly harmed.
Third Incident: No activity from the Bone Men for 2 hours. Commotion heard in the nearby town. The Bone Men had dug a tunnel underneath both the pit and the wall and multiple Bone Men had escaped into town. Multiple adults were kidnapped and successfully killed. Nearby town forced to relocate, walls dug deeper into the ground.
Fourth Incident: Attempted to relocate the bones for safety concerns. The first agent to touch the bones was grabbed by a hand and swiftly dragged deep in the bones. Audible screams proceeded for a few hours before silence. Bones never attempted to be moved again.
Fifth Incident: Bone Men escaped via digging again anyways and sprinted to the next nearest town. Speeds estimated to be over 60 mph. Another adult was kidnapped and killed before sunrise.
Medium sized steel dome was built and placed on top of the pile and the area underneath is filled in with cement. The Bone Men have not managed to breach containment again, but appear to be attacking the same place in the dome each moon cycle. Breach is imminent, measures are being taken.
The SCP is a Sony Walkman from the 2000s. The Walkman is normally empty, and is unable to run any sort of media disc formats that a normal walkman could. If a task is written onto a piece of paper, placed into the disc insert, and the Walkman closed, the SCP will give flawless step-by-step instructions when listened to. These instructions are never wrong and are able to be fully followed by anybody who listens to them. Even subjects with mental and physical handicaps have been able to complete tasks that are normally incredibly difficult or impossible for them, such as a blind man completing a full obstacle course, or a mentally challenged person able to understand quantum mechanics.
This Walkman comes with slight limits. The instructions given are so complicated that no subject has ever been able to repeat what they were told, and are not able to perform the same task again. They can also not complete the task after 5 hours have passed, as they seem to forget the crucial points of the explanation. The Walkman will also not play for anyone other than the person who submitted the original request, including to microphones, computers, or the person who told the subject to submit the request. If the headphones are taken off mid-explanation, they will immediately stop playing and resume upon replacement. The paper on which the submission was written is also consumed by an unknown source, as the Walkman is empty after the explanation.
Test 1: Blind man told to write (With assistance) how to complete a basic obstacle course which had been prepared ahead of time. Explanation took roughly 5 minutes before finishing. The man completed the course, albeit slowly, without incident.
Test 2: The same blind man was then told to write how to complete a more advanced obstacle course which had not yet been constructed. Explanation took slightly longer, the man completed the course without incident again.
Test 3: The SCP was asked how to make money on the stock market within the next 5 days. The subject was then allowed to handle a small assortment of stocks, and successfully made over three million dollars in only 4 days.
Test 4: Person with a major learning disability was brought in under the pretext that it was an academic experiment for the betterment of the educational environment. Subject was told to ask how to solve a complicated quantum mechanics problem. The person not only solved the problem flawlessly, but also pointed out an error that the problem had, which was confirmed to be true by another expert.
Test 5: SCP was asked how to kill SCP 682. Explanation lasted well over 35 hours, and the subject had already forgotten almost all of the material by the time it was finished. Subject informed nearby personnel that it might as well be impossible.
The SCP is a parasitic lifeform that disguises itself as various forms of jackets and sweatshirts. It enters a person’s home when they aren’t aware and replaces a jacket in their closet with itself, changing its appearance to match that jacket. If another jacket is being worn more often, the parasite will change to match that jacket instead.
When put on, the parasite inserts spikes into the spinal cord of the host and takes over their nervous system. The parasite suppresses the host’s consciousness and overlaps it with its own, but keeps the host alive so that it can act normally.
The parasite seeks to do different things depending on which sex it possesses. If the parasite latches onto a woman, it uses its own DNA to impregnate the woman, making her give birth to another parasite. This impregnation and birth does not harm the woman, as the parasite is not as large as a human baby at birth. The parasite will then leave and attempt to find a new host. If the host is a male, the parasite will attempt to transfer to a female host using the current body as transportation.
A slightly foggy woods with bad visibility, with an ancient tower in the middle. What is inside the tower is completely unknown, as nobody has managed to get in and out.
The forest is guarded by what looks like an elderly man about 5 foot 6 inches. He is a sickly white and looks slightly malnourished, but not starved. He moves about the woods in an aimless shamble, wandering around without making any noise. When any human enters the forest, the man immediately begins to walk towards them, no matter where he may be in the forest at the time.
Once the man comes within 30 meters of the human intruder, the human in question is overwhelmed by a primally powerful feeling of absolute terror, so much so that they immediately freeze in place and cannot move a single muscle. The man will continue to slowly shamble towards them. If the human intruder has frozen still, the man will walk up to them and slowly wrap his hands around their neck, before squeezing slightly. The human in question appears to experience tremendous pain before slumping over dead, with what appears to be extreme bruising and burn marks around their neck. The man will continue to do this to all humans who enter the forest, even if they come in groups.
If a group successfully manages to enter the tower in the center of the forest, the man begins to walk noticeably faster, but still will not run. It enters the tower behind the group, disappearing from view. In all cases, the man has exited the tower after a short period and the group that entered is never seen again.
