SCP-XXXX “Stairway To Heaven: Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: An area (called area 17) comprised of 5km2 around SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 has to be under permanent surveillance, civilians are severely restricted from entering area 17, if an event like this occurs, The civilian has to be administered with Amnestics and reintegrated to society as soon as possible.

Description: SCP-XXXX is what appears to be a Staircase made of different types of wood and a style similar to Victorian architecture.

SCP-XXXX is contained within a much bigger building named SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-1 is a 5000 ft2 mansion with an architecture style from the 1900's, the rest of the mansion shares the same style except SCP-XXXX.

When a human being starts to walk up the staircase it's impossible for them to stop, when asked, D-class personnel often say they enter in state when they cant move by their own but are still conscious, their body forces them to walk up the stairs until the end, which is a wall, when the wall has been reached, the human being( now called SCP-XXXX-A) can move freely and exit the staircase if they want to.

The subject begins to experience SCP-XXXX effects usually after 10 or 12 hours, the effects range from: slight to extreme memory loss, erratic behavior typical of advanced schizophrenic patients and visions of “hell like” places that are often indescriptible, D-class personnel often describes these visions as “lovecraftian”

SCP-XXXX's effects continue even after SCP-XXXX-A expires, after a couple months after death, family members and friends of SCP-XXXX-A report that their dead friend or relative is trying to communicate to them desperately, often writing messages in walls, talking, or even trying to talk to them in chats of different social media,
this messages are often cries for help, expressing extreme fear, suffering, and madness.

It is theorized that SCP-XXXX gives SCP-XXXX-A the capability of communicating after death, or trapping them in some sort of "hell" for the rest of eternity, neither of the theories have been discarded.
