Per 
Instance of SCP-XXXX briefly after being recovered
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Containment consists of storing the object in a 25 x 103 x 187 millimeter lead box, utilizing a mechanized covering outfitted with a single 30 frame-per-second night-vision camera, transmitting to multiple computer monitors at least 50m away from the SCP. Personnel are required to always watch on these monitors, with at least three individuals maintaining position at a time. D-Class personnel must always be in close proximity to all monitors or playback devices in the facility.
In case of containment breach, all D-Class personnel are instructed to closely view the closest playback device of any kind, whilst being told to completely ignore the advisories given. SCP-XXXX-1 will attack the D-Class, enabling all nearby military to discharge firearms unto the creature. While the creature is likely able to defend itself, it prefers to flee, while also removing the tape in the process.
In case of containment breach not regarding SCP-XXXX, the current personnel are instructed to remove the covering and maintain physical and sensory contact until further notice.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a 1990's model VHS tape. The tape is often unlabelled, with whatever label applied being seemingly removed by an unknown force, further classified as SCP-XXXX-1.
When SCP-XXXX is played in any display, the viewer(s) will recognize the recording as a National Emergency Broadcast, voiced over by President George H. W. Bush. The viewer(s) will then be instructed to "follow everything said exactly, for the safety of their country."
The first instruction consists of closing all doors and windows in the building. The viewer(s) will be advised as to not look or go outside in any way, for any reason, regardless of any sensory alarms, predominantly including the sounds of a large quardipedal creature. This instruction is repeated, then followed by white noise.
After ten minutes, the President will give further instructions. The viewer(s) will be told to remain seated comfortably, and to reduce all physical exertion to an absolute minimum. The viewer(s) are once again advised to go against disregarding these regardless of sensory alarms. However, after such time has passed, the viewer(s) will hear a door/window in the bulding being opened, followed by many nonhuman audatory anomalies across the entirety of the household, or other living space. The viewer(s) may also hear many of their own belongings, including cutlery, jewelry, and firearms being destroyed or discharged in the other rooms.
After 25 minutes, the President will speak again, this time telling the viewer(s) to maintain full sensory focus on the television, or however tape is being played. This, as well, includes an advisory to never disengage such instructions, regardless of any sensory alarms.
The viewer(s) will hear SCP-XXXX-1 enter the room. The creature will move behind the viewer(s), manifesting many unnerving, or even horrifying, auditory illusions, in attempt to direct the viewer(s)' attention from the playback device. The creature will then move into the peripherals of the viewer(s), causing yet more auditory illusions, and introducing minimal hallucinations.
The viewer(s) will then begin to feel the creature on their forearms/legs, regardless of orientation. These feelings are described as "like sand-paper being rubbed into [the viewer(s)] skin," or "millions of tiny hairs scratching away [the viewer(s)] skin." These sensations will move to the viewer(s) back, and up the spinal column, until a formation of a human hand grasps the viewers skull. The creature will proceed to either turn the viewer(s)' head away from the screen, or gouge out the viewer(s)' eyes, resulting in inevitable distraction from the broadcast.
Whenever attention is lost, the creature is "seen," or any other instructions are broken, the viewer(s) will induce immediate [REDACTED]. Studies show subjects feel as though they are being torn apart on a molecular level, resulting in an empty burning sensation. Severity of the injuries are more often than not lethal. However, in cases of survival, subjects often experience severe mental disrepair or musculoskeletal deterioration, leading to chronic immune deffiency or malnutrition.
Addendum:
SCP-XXXX-1 does not exist, or should not exist by means of any human interaction. All sensory alarms are hallucinations induced by the tape unto its viewer(s). However, the tape does exhibit a sort of consciousness, which could be reflected onto SCP-XXXX-1, as attempts to remove the tape result in alert to SCP-XXXX-1, and any heavy harm inflicted upon SCP-XXXX-1 results in the removal and "deactivation" of the tape from its current playback device.
Addendum 2:
SCP-XXXX, if kept in storage, will seemingly be stolen or transported if sensory contact is removed. The tape will then be either recovered in an individual's household, often mislabelled in attempt to get the individual to view it, or will be played back on any nearby monitor, regardless of whether the device has capabilities to play VHS tapes.

Addendum 3:
SCP-XXXX was recovered in the household of ███████, in █████████. The individual had seemingly played the tape, but had always kept a firearm closeby for personal protection. The individual was able to injure SCP-XXXX-1, allowing safe translocation of SCP-XXXX. However, ███████ sustained many bodily injuries, including respiratory dissolution, leading to his death four days after.
