Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard medium-security containment locker. SCP-XXXX shall not be worn by anyone, except for testing purposes. When being used in testing, subject wearing SCP-XXXX should be entirely contained in a room with padded walls and ceilings, and each wall and ceiling must be made of concrete, brick, or other solid surface that can resist the force of a human. SCP-XXXX is never to be worn outside or on any surface not entirely roofed.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a pair of ocean blue plastic swimming goggles. Any information regarding SCP-XXXX's manufacture or origin is unavailable. SCP-XXXX was discovered in ████████, Alabama on 09/17/████ after a woman alerted the authorities claiming her son was flying. The Foundation contained SCP-XXXX, and Class-B amnestics were administered to the woman, her son, and all law enforcement agents involved.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous property manifests when someone puts the goggles on. At first they appear normal, however when the wearer turns his/her head, the ground appears to shift with them, causing their eyes to always be parallel to the ground. If the wearer turns their head 90 degrees, the ground level will 'change' to whatever surface their eyes are parallel with. This usually causes the wearer to trip and fall, and if they suddenly jerk their head, even fly into the wall. If one turns their head upside down, they will fall to a ceiling. The wearer is then perfectly able to walk on a ceiling as normal. However, it has been observed that any movement is difficult while wearing SCP-XXXX as even minor movements of the wearer's head will shift the ground and trip them. Wearers' describe it as walking during an earthquake.
It is assumed that wearing SCP-XXXX outside and turning upside down will send the wearer flying into the sky and not come back down. Testing of SCP-XXXX outside is strictly prohibited.

BEGIN LOG:
Researcher ████: Alright D-48729, put on the goggles please.
Subject: Goggles? Sure, whatever.
Subject equips goggles. Subject turns his head toward the door and immediately falls.
Subject: The fuck?!
Researcher: Are you okay D-48729?
Subject begins to get back up, then immediately slides across the floor to the eastern wall.
Subject: What the fuck! Why am I on the wall? Did you flip the room or something?
Subject jerks his head upwards, looking at the western wall where the one way window is located, and immediately falls forward onto the northern wall.
Subject: Oh my god!
Subject begins to scramble, trying to keep a footing, and falls around the room. Researcher is heard chuckling extremely softly.
Researcher: Okay D-4872… 729.
Researcher chuckles again.
Researcher: Can you get back to the door for me?
Subject: Yeah…
Subject sounds very irritated and scared. He glances upwards, where the door is, and falls forward into the western wall. Subject hits the glass and appears to break his nose.
Researcher: Careful! We're coming to get you.
Security Guard enters the chamber and grabs Subject, removing SCP-XXXX.
Test Concluded.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX in to be contained in a standard containment locker, and any time it is being used during testing it should remain in any walled area with bulletproof walls and/or windows.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a British Sea Service Pistol, estimated to be manufactured in the mid-late 1700s. It is composed primarily of wood and steel, with iron fittings and a brass flash pan, and measures 22cm in length. SCP-XXXX has no source of ammunition, and attempts at manually reloading SCP-XXXX are futile. SCP-XXXX is able to immediately reload itself after firing, a lead ball round seeming to appear inside the chamber through unknown means.
SCP-XXXX was discovered next to an unmarked gravestone [see addendum] near ████████, VA on █/█/████. The weapon appears to have been found by a 17 year old boy named ████ █████. He was found dead from a wound to the chest with SCP-XXXX resting in his hand. Initially believed that he had shot himself with the weapon, however after further analysis this was proven false. After an extensive investigation, the Foundation was alerted of the case and contained SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous activities occur whenever the gun is cocked. Once it has been properly cocked, an anomalous shadowy entity [designated SCP-XXXX-1] will appear approximately 1.9 meters in front of SCP-XXXX's user. SCP-XXXX-1 is a translucent humanoid with a black tint, similar to a shadow; however it is entirely 3-dimensional and seems to stand as a normal human. SCP-XXXX-1 has its own flintlock appearing to be identical to SCP-XXXX, although it also has the same dark translucent effect of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 appears to be dressed in a Classic British uniform active during the American Revolutionary War, although it has been so far impossible to efficiently study SCP-XXXX-1 due to the fact it vanishes so quickly. Videos and pictures taken of SCP-XXXX-1 have proven useless, as it simply does not appear in the footage, as if it were not there at all.
SCP-XXXX will appear and believe it is in a state of dueling or in active combat. SCP-XXXX-1 is hostile, but only towards those who wield SCP-XXXX and are American citizens. It does not respond to any attempts at communication unless spoken to by the wielder, to which it always will usually respond with "American ratbag!". About three seconds after SCP-XXXX-1 appears, it will begin to cock its own gun. Once it does so, it will proceed to fire at the wielder. The round fired appears to never miss, however it may hit anywhere on the body depending on circumstance. The only way to prevent this is to shoot SCP-XXXX-1 before it fires. No matter where on the body it is hit, SCP-XXXX-1 will cry in pain and disappear to an unknown place, not reappearing until SCP-XXXX is cocked again. After reappearance, SCP-XXXX-1 acts as if nothing has happened and does not seem to be harmed or disoriented in any way.
SCP-XXXX-1 seems to be entirely resistant to all forms of damage except for a bullet from SCP-XXXX. Attempts at charging SCP-XXXX-1 and/or removing its flintlock has no effect and can be passed through entirely as if nothing is there. SCP-XXXX itself is able to take physical damage normally, although shows no signs of rusting or oxidation.
SCP-XXXX was tested with a D-Class personnel from Britain. After appearing, SCP-XXXX-1 seemed to be non-hostile. Instead of attacking it simply stared for a moment and then disappeared. This test was conducted again and the D Class was instructed to try and speak to SCP-XXXX-1. He asked for SCP-XXXX-1's name, to which it replied "Aye." and then immediately disappeared. This leads to the conclusion that SCP-3089-1 is only hostile to Americans. D Class personnel of other nationalities has not been tested as of █/██/████.
SCP-XXXX-1's bullet seems to be entirely normal, and will hit any object or person blocking its path to SCP-XXXX's wielder. SCP-XXXX-1 will not disappear if this occurs however, and will reload its weapon and attempt to shoot SCP-XXXX's wielder again. This could lead to possible containment of SCP-XXXX-1 for better study. If the wielder drops SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 will call out "Haha, got you now!" and proceed to attack normally.
Addendum: The gravestone at which SCP-XXXX was found is to be designated SCP-XXXX-2. The gravestone is entirely blank, and a total excavation of the area revealed no coffin, skeleton, corpse, or anything out of the ordinary. The gravestone itself has been taken into Foundation custody, showing no anomalous effects whatsoever. The site is to be left alone although all police reports in the area are to be sent to the Foundation for review monthly.
