SCP-5869

Item #: SCP-5869

Object Class: Keter

Description: SCP-5869 is a infectious memetic which leads those infected to believe that history has been altered in ways it has not been. However it is more commonly known as the Mandela Effect, named after the former SCP researcher Nelson Mandela, who discovered SCP-5869.

SCP-5869-A refers to the effect of false memories supplanting true ones, while SCP-5869-B refers to the 27.25% chance of infected persons spontaneously obtaining the knowledge of the SCP Foundation available to anyone with Level 4 clearance and subsequently attempting to breach containment of any one given Keter Level SCP. The Keter level SCP differs with each instance of SCP-5869-1

SCP-5869-1 refers to any persons who are infected with SCP-5869 and have succumbed to SCP-5869-B

Some of the most well known instances of a massive outbreak of SCP-5869 are the misconception of the life of the aforementioned Nelson Mandela, as well as the confusion surrounding the true location of the country of New Zealand.

Any suspected instances of SCP-5869-1 are to be reported directly to the local site director immediately.
