Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter

---

Special Containment Procedures: The property on which SCP-XXXX-1 is constructed is to be surrounded by stainless-steel barbed wire fencing, patrolled at all time by armed security personnel. A second set of stainless-steel, barbed wire fencing is to constructed around a perimeter 225 meters away from SCP-XXXX-1, with no less than 200mA of electric current running through it at all times. The interior of SCP-XXXX-1 has been outfitted with cameras and thermal imaging devices via autonomous robot.

Any non-Foundation personnel found to be at the property line are to be deterred under threat of force. If any non-Foundation personnel are found within the property line of SCP-XXXX, they are to be administered Class-A amnesthetics and to under go intensive psychiatric evaluation prior to release. Were any personnel to breach within 200 meters of SCP-XXXX-1, they are to be terminated on contact in order to prevent entrance into SCP-XXXX-1. If any living human has entered SCP-XXXX-1, personnel are to prepare for an SCP-XXXX-A event.

+Addendum XXXX-I: Protocol Exemption for Experimentation

Protocol Exemptions for Experimentation
The only circumstance in which personnel are not to be immediately terminated upon entering within 200 meters of SCP-XXXX-1 is during an experiment authorized by a Clearance Level 04 or higher Foundation staff member , and said staff member must be present at the time of experimentation. -O5 Council

During an SCP-XXXX-A event, the anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX will continue to progress in SCP-XXXX-2 until terminated. Termination is most easily achieved through electrocution, and as such the current running through the second fence line will be increased to 500 mA. All research personnel are to immediately lock down, given the apparent contagious nature of the effects of SCP-XXXX-1, and security personnel are to patrol the second fence and ensure that SCP-XXXX-2 is terminated either by electric fence or via munitions. Personnel must not come into physical contact at any point with SCP-XXXX-2. Within 3 days of the event, a clergy member of the Christian church is to bless the property on which SCP-XXXX-1 is constructed in order to suppress further anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX-1, and allow personnel to shut the doors to SCP-XXXX-1 to suppress influence on personnel on the grounds of SCP-XXXX-1 (See Incident Log SCP-XXXX-I).

Description: SCP-XXXX is documented as two separate entities, SCP-XXXX-1, and SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX came to the Foundation's attention in late 2018 following the disappearances of several adolescents in ████ County, Maine. These disappearances coincided with reports of "goat men" roaming the land around SCP-XXXX-1, raising the suspicions of Agent █████, who is assigned to the region.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a derelict country club in █████ County, Maine.
The property on which SCP-XXXX-1 is constructed is densely wooded, giving natural cover from line-of-sight. When personnel enter within a 200 meter perimeter of SCP-XXXX-1, they report feeling strongly compelled to enter immediately. Subjects have displayed annoyance and agitation when encouraged not too, and have escalated into violent, aggressive states when restrained. Upon entering SCP-XXXX-1, subjects' brain activity has been seen to begin dropping significantly, directly proportional to the amount of time spent inside of SCP-XXXX-1. Subjects have displayed effects such as a loss of fine motor skills, coordination, speech ability and comprehension.

+ Research Log XXXX

Research Log XXXX
Researchers assigned to SCP-XXXX-1 have worked extensively to discover the origins of SCP-XXXX-1, and what causes it to display its anomalous effects. Foundation resources have found that SCP-XXXX-1 was constructed in 1934, by one Ava ████. ████ was a second-generation immigrant to the United States from Germany, born to parents who were prominent businessmen in their homeland. News clippings and reports indicate that ████ had used inheritance from her mother and father to build SCP-XXXX-1, as a means of commemorating them. However, SCP-XXXX-1 was never opened to the public, and instead went on to be Ava ████'s private residence. Further research into her family background has revealed that ████ was a member of a family devoted to Medieval paganism, avid partakers in pagan traditions and rituals such as the German "Walpurgisnacht". The family's worship was most heavily centered around that of nature and animals, which likely explains why the room from which the effects of SCP-XXXX-1 manifest strongest is one full of various taxidermy animal specimens, both local and exotic. Researchers have concluded that Ava ████ was a devoted pagan whose worship and rituals performed inside of SCP-XXXX-1 caused the anomalous effects it demonstrates.

Addendum I-EL: ████ was also discovered to have been declared missing after 4 years of living inside of SCP-XXXX-1. This is in concurrence with multiple sightings of "goat-men" in the area, along with numerous missing persons reports being filed in [REDACTED] County, Maine. The descriptions of these sightings coincide with manifestations of SCP-XXXX-2.

Addendum II-EL: O-5 council deemed it necessary that, in order to maintain Foundation secrecy and avoid civilian discovery of SCP-XXXX-1, personnel were to destroy any record of ████ going missing, and to change records to state that ████ died by suicide on January 27th, 1938, and SCP-XXXX-1 was demolished August 16th, 1938.

After spending approximately 4 minutes inside of SCP-XXXX-1, subjects have shown aversion towards technology, attempting to disable cameras, thermal imaging sensors, and any equipment attached to the subjects body (excluding any subdermal implants such as tracking devices or various monitors for vital signs). Attacks on equipment are normally carried out by subject using their own hands, even if provided with a tool or weapon substantial for destruction of technology in question. Attacks typically yield no result, and subjects are often agitated after a failure to disable equipment.

Note: The aversion/ hostility towards technology, change to an animal-like state, regression of cognitive ability, and possible pagan origins may signify that the effects of SCP-XXXX-1 are a "deletion" of the social complexes of humanity in a subject to the point where they become a primitive "nature entity" who's goal is to revert other humans to the same.

After spending approximately 6 minutes inside SCP-XXXX-1, subjects will abandon current activity and move towards the room inside of SCP-XXXX-1 that is theorized to be the source of the effects of SCP-XXXX-1, referred to as the "trophy" room. While moving towards the "trophy" room, subjects cease to locomote bipedally and instead crawl on all fours, similar to a canid. Upon reaching the "trophy" room, subjects begin imitating the howl of a wolf and various other animal noises and strips themselves of all clothing. At this point, contact will be lost with any technological equipment still present on a subject, seeming to vaporize or disappear entirely. This is the point at which effects of SCP-XXXX-1 begin to manifest physically as well as psychologically, and subjects are considered a manifestation of SCP-XXXX-2.

---

SCP-XXXX-2 is the designation given to any subject who enters the "trophy" room of SCP-XXXX-1. After stripping itself of clothing, SCP-XXXX-2 will exit SCP-XXXX-1 and proceed to hunt the nearest living humanoid. Upon physical contact with any living humanoid, said humanoid will immediately begin to display the effects of SCP-XXXX-1, as long as they are on the property on which SCP-XXXX-1 is constructed. Any humanoid who makes physical contact off of the grounds feels a strongly compelling urge to go to the grounds, regardless of prior knowledge of the location. During this hunting phase, SCP-XXXX-2 shows that the effects of SCP-XXXX-1 are progressive, and worsen over time. As effects progress, SCP-XXXX-2 will shriek continually, suggesting that the effects and progression of SCP-XXXX-1 cause intense amounts of pain.

Note: After SCP-XXXX-2 exits SCP-XXXX-1, the doors to SCP-XXXX-1 will remain open, causing personnel on he grounds to suffer from mild symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and intense sweating.

Note: There seems to be no conventional means of terminating or otherwise damaging SCP-XXXX-2 while the specimen is inside of SCP-XXXX-1, save for use of a Christian symbol or image (see Experiment Log XXXX).

After a period of roughly 10 minutes, the spine is arched to ease quadrupedal locomotion, while allowing for bipedal locomotion with a hunched-over appearance, and keratin production in the fingernails and toenails of SCP-XXXX-2 grows exponentially until the nails have essentially become claws.

Note: Though bipedal locomotion is still possible for SCP-XXXX-2, quadrupedal movement is favored and subjects typically only stand on hind legs as a means of locating/ surveying, similar to some bear species.

After a 20-minute period, matted black fur will have entirely coated the back of SCP-XXXX-2, and the rear feet will have been shaped into a hoof, similar to that of a Whitetail deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The jaw of SCP-XXXX-2 will begin elongating to a protrusion of approximately 6 inches, with teeth and the nose moving accordingly. Antlers similar to that of most deer species will begin to develop. It is unknown thus far how biological structures are moved yet retain function.

Approximately 30 minutes after exposure to SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-2 will have a full set of antlers, an elongated muzzle and matted fur covering its body, and will move at a speed greatly faster than any human is capable of. At this point, SCP-XXXX-2 will consume any living humanoid it comes into contact with as opposed to inducing the effects of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-2 prefers to eat [DATA EXPUNGED] and will consume them first over any other part of a humanoid.
Progression of SCP-XXX in a subject is only stopped via termination of SCP-XXXX-2

+Incident Log SCP-XXXX-I

Incident Log XXXX-I
Incident SCP-XXXX-2-I is the designation for initial contact with and securing of SCP-XXXX-1 on █/█/18 by Foundation personnel. As assault team Lambda-09-B approached within 200 meters of SCP-XXXX-1, all personnel came under the influence of SCP-XXXX-1, excluding Capt. ████. A total of [REDACTED] personnel were influenced by SCP-XXXX-1 and entered into the "trophy" room of SCP-XXXX-1 (now considered to be manifestations of SCP-XXXX-2). Capt. ████ was not only uninfluenced by SCP-XXXX within 200 meters of SCP-XXXX-1, but was able to continue resisting effects while inside SCP-XXXX-1 and freely moved throughout the building, including the "trophy" room without any effects of SCP-XXXX-1 manifesting. When Capt. ████ came into contact with the specimens of SCP-XXXX-2, specimens demonstrated agitation and elevated aggression, attempting to reach Capt. ████. Upon making physical contact with Capt. ████, specimens began to shriek loudly and [DATA EXPUNGED] after a 5-7 second period. Capt. ████ hypothesized that he was immune to the effects of SCP-XXXX-1 due to the silver crucifix pendant he wore at the time, which may signify that SCP-XXXX-1 is pagan in nature, given its ineffectiveness and aversion to Christian imagery.
Hypothesis later confirmed after a D-Class personnel wearing a different crucifix successfully entered and freely moved about SCP-XXXX-1 without experiencing any effects (See Experiment Log XXXX).

---

Notice: Under no circumstance are personnel to experiment with the demolition of SCP-XXXX-1. Upon any attempt at destroying SCP-XXXX-1 (immolation, detonation, heavy machinery, etc.), SCP-XXXX-1 will not only remain unaffected, but 4-7 instances of SCP-XXXX-2 will manifest in the "trophy" room of SCP-XXXX-1, seeming to target any personnel involved, hunting them and [REDACTED] their bodies. Following killing personnel involved in the demolition attempt, the instances of SCP-XXXX-2 will return to the "trophy" room, seeming to disappear.

+Experiment Log XXXX

Experiment Log XXXX
Test XXXX-I - Date 2/4/19

Subject: One (1) D-Class personnel, outfitted with a body camera.
Procedure: D-Class personnel was instructed to move towards SCP-XXXX-1 in order to establish effective radius of SCP-XXXX-1
Results: D-Class fell under the influence of SCP-XXXX-1 upon coming closer than approximately 200 meters. After entering, subject attempted to remove body camera unsuccessfully. Subject made their way to the "trophy" room and SCP-XXXX-2 manifested. Connection lost with camera upon entrance. Subject terminated via ballistics.
Analysis: A "safe-zone", or at least the effective range of SCP-XXXX-1 was established, as well as confirming effects of entering SCP-XXXX-1

Test XXXX-II - Date 2/19/19

Subject: One (1) D-Class personnel, outfitted with a body camera; subject was also given a crucifix necklace in order to test Capt. ███'s theory
Procedure: Subject entered within the second fence line and established 200-meter radius of SCP-XXXX-1, was instructed to enter with SCP-XXXX-1, and make their way into the "trophy" room.
Results: Subject remained entirely uninfluenced while towards and entering SCP-XXXX-1. Subject freely moved inside SCP-XXXX-1 for approx. 3 hours, reporting no feelings or sensations out of the usual. Subject entered the "trophy" room and still remained uninfluenced by SCP-XXXX-1. Subject then exited SCP-XXXX-1, still under no observable influence or that was reported.
Analysis: It would appear that SCP-XXXX has an aversion to, or weakness against those who carry Christian images on their person, confirming that Capt. ███ was correct in his hypothesis.

Test XXXX-III - Date █/█/19

Subject: Three (3) D-Class (Group 1) personnel wearing crucifixes and equipped with body cameras. Five (5) D-Class (Group 2) personnel, without any Christian images, equipped with body cameras.
Procedure: All personnel were told to enter SCP-XXXX-1 together, and were told to spend at least an hour inside of SCP-XXXX-1.
Results: As expected, Group 2 fell under the influence of SCP-XXXX-1 upon entering the 200-meter effective range. Group 1 remained unaffected and continued as instructed. All members of Group 2 were observed to attempt to disable their body cameras; only one was successful in detaching it from their self. Group 2 collectively moved toward the "trophy" room and were then designated manifestations of SCP-XXXX-2. Group 1 entered SCP-XXXX-1 and remained uninfluenced. Upon making contact with members of Group 1, SCP-XXXX-2 specimens became agitated and more aggressive than they would in their stage of SCP-XXXX influence. However, upon making physical contact with the members of Group 1, specimens began to shriek as Capt. ███ had described, and after a short period the specimens collectively [REDACTED]. All members of Group 1 remained unharmed. A deep clean of SCP-XXXX-1 was necessary to allow for further testing.
Analysis: The effects on SCP-XXXX-2 specimens of Christian images are truly astounding. Effectively, Christian images renders the effects of SCP-XXXX-1 powerless, though makes SCP-XXXX-2 specimens far more aggressive in their pursuit of anyone wearing a Christian symbol, despite the apparent outcome of the specimens [REDACTED].

Test XXXX-IV - Date █/█/19

Subject: One (1) D-Class carrying one (1) copy of The Holy Bible. Ten (10) manifestations of SCP-XXXX-2, exposed to SCP-XXXX prior to testing
Procedure: D-Class personnel was instructed to enter within the 200-meter radius, but to not enter SCP-XXXX-1. All manifestations of SCP-XXXX-2 were confirmed to be in different rooms of SCP-XXXX-1 to ensure that none would reach the subject with another.
Results: One SCP-XXXX-2 specimen reached the subject within 37 seconds of the subject entering within the 200-meter radius. As soon as the specimen reached the subject, it was observed to recoil in seemingly fear and whimper prior to [REDACTED]. Others were confirmed to have done the same, despite none other having made contact with the subject.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-2 specimens seem to react together to the effects of coming into contact with Christian images, despite acting typically as individual units. Typically, if one specimen is terminated via conventional means, only that specimen will be terminated. Christian images seem to be the exception. The apparent fear that was displayed by the specimens upon one seeing the Bible that the D-Class was holding may point to a sense of self-awareness or deeper conscience.
