Description: SCP-4456 manifests as a series of giant, humanoid silhouettes approximately five (5) meters tall. Instances are often seen wearing a long cloak and wide primed hat. Many are often seen holding a staff or walking stick. Instances only manifest during twilight hours (dawn or dust) and always face west, towards the Pacific Ocean. Figures are seen at a distance of [DATA EXPUNGED] meters or more and appear motionless for as long as direct line of sight is maintained. Instances generally will mind their own business and will keep to themselves. If line of sight is broken, manifestations will immediately disappear. Entities only manifest themselves to lone travelers who’re carrying only minimal provisions. Manifestations are incapable of being captured on film, video or photograph.
It is said that individuals who venture close enough to see any additional detail are never seen or heard from again and none of the clothing or other small items these individuals were carrying is ever found. However, these claims have yet to be proven.
