Item #: SCP-?

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: A simple chain link fence encompasses The area where SCP-? may hear someone. Entry to this area requires the clearance of the head of site 38. All personnel must refrain from overtly harsh language and actions when within the area of SCP-? unless given special permission. Details on acceptable behavior are located with archived experiments conducted on SCP-?.

A crew of up to 10 D-class personnel will be assigned as grounds keepers for SCP-?. They will be given specifications for the upkeep of the property and any necessary tools to achieve these requirements. Any D-class on this crew not maintaining an openly positive attitude or failing to follow procedures, must be reassigned and not return to SCP-?.

Discription: SCP-?, located in ████████ Tennessee, is the observed effect in an area that used to be a privately owned golf course. Due to the static nature of SCP-? Site 38 was built around it's observed effects. Previously named ██████ ███████████, The location has been the source of local rumors and ghost stories since colonial days. The public interest in this location grew greatly during 1977 when multiple accounts by separate individuals began circulating that their speech and demeanor on the course could affect the quality of their golf rounds. Agents conducted multiple interviews and experiments and confirmed the anomalous properties. The foundation acquired the property, had it publicly shut down and altered the existing records.

When an individual present in the area affected by SCP-? speaks or preforms certain actions, the air within the area may respond in a variety of ways. Observed effects include; The wind currents changing, cloud coverage being altered, scents manifesting, disembodied voices/sounds, and on rare occasions electrical currents without a source. A manifestation of any of these is designated SCP-?-1. SCP-? is not merely an environmental anomaly, it appears to have something resembling an individual personality. Though the anomalous effects only extend to the air, SCP-? appears to consider the entire area as its 'body' including the ground, water, and plants within the area. Insults, harassment, and damage to the area result in negative instances of SCP-?-1. Compliments, grounds keeping, and humor within the area result in positive instances of SCP-?-1. (See experiment log for specific details)

Despite SCP-? having some form of free will and the potential for violence, it retains a safe classification as it is both predictable in its responses and unable to move. SCP-? appears to especially enjoy; being a golf course, having people admire it, crude jokes, and conversations on weather. SCP-? reacts negatively to damage to the property, any mean spirited comments, and having the grounds not maintained properly.

Anyone wishing to conduct research on SCP-? should first consult the open letter printed below to determine if the letter is representative of their intentions.

An open letter to any personnel wanting to conduct 'experiments' with SCP-?:

From the desk of the site 38 Director,
Enough. I have had enough with these requests. We understand that SCP-? is a seemingly sentient section of air over a golf course and the appropriate measures to contain it are in effect. Many are now trying to use the excuse of tests to relax at a golf course that will improve your game if you ply it with jokes and compliments. I am sick of this unprofessional behavior and effective immediately, all pending requests for testing SCP-? are automatically rejected until 01/01/2005. For all future requests, you will not be the one conducting the experiment if it is determined that your request is valid. There have already been so many redundant tests, only a few logs that truly demonstrate the effects of SCP-? are included in this document. The rest are archived and I expect everyone to behave with professionalism from now on. This matter is closed, please refer anyone expressing interest in SCP-? to this letter.
