Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The acre of woodland containing SCP-XXXX must be surrounded by a chain-link fence wrapped in barbed wire and plastered with various signs warning of hazardous waste within the area. All entrances to SCP-XXXX are to be watched by at least two armed guards at all times. SCP-XXXX is only to be entered by D class personnel for the purpose of testing, and must gain clearance by personnel level two or above. All personnel who enter SCP-XXXX are to be immediately considered KIA, and marked as such, even if they have not yet died.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a abandoned protestant church, residing approximately 26 miles outside of █████ █████, █████████. The outside of the church is extremely worn down and covered in foliage. Despite this, the inside is well maintained, due to the fact that any mess made or item broken within the church has been found repaired and cleaned after eye contact with the interior of the church has been broken.
When someone comes within two meters of the wooden pulpit in the center of SCP-XXXX they will instantly drop to their knees, and become unable to move the lower half of their body. Subjects trapped within SCP-XXXX are to be considered SCP-XXXX-1.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are not affected by hunger, dehydration, bullets, or toxins, and do not respond to any stimuli aside from verbal commands. Every Sunday at exactly 20:30 all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will black out and experience what they refer to as sermons. During these sermons instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have described being able to move around the church freely, but not being able to leave. After about 15 minutes into the sermons, a middle aged man in a priest outfit and 20-30 white Americans of ages varying from age 5 to about 75 enter the church and sit down in the pews. The man in the priest outfit will quickly walk up to the pulpit and deliver a speech about fearing god and loving Christ for anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, after which instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will regain consciousness.
After regaining consciousness, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will experience increased levels of paranoia and a intense obsession with the idea of meeting Jesus. After each sermon these signs will usually become more intense, with most subjects' speech becoming completely incomprehensible after the fifth sermon. By the end of the ninth sermon experienced by SCP-XXXX-1, they will become comprehensible once again, but will show an intense fear of it's location, often screaming at the top of it's lungs for help and clawing madly at the ground around it. After exactly 3 hours of consciousness the subject will experience cardiac arrest, and their deceased body will slowly float up into the ceiling and disappear. Attempts made to recover bodies by tearing the ceiling apart have been unsuccessful.
