Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is currently contained in Storage Locker-P12 at Site-142. Any copies of SCP-X believed to be in circulation are to be contained, and all viewers are to be amnestized.
Figure X-A: The case containing SCP-X.
Description: SCP-X is a VHS tape containing an anomalous bootleg copy of the 2002 film adaption of Samuel Beckett's one-act play, Krapp's Last Tape, directed by Atom Egoyan. The cover features a handrawn depiction of the single character of the film, Krapp, as well as the title and author. Additionally, the logo for a French film company known as "Sensation d'Information" can be observed in the bottom left corner of the cover. This logo is also displayed at the beginning of the film.
The anomaly manifests whenever the tape is played, with the contents changing based on the subject playing the tape. When played by a subject, the title will appear in a Times New Roman font. The name of the title, however, will be altered to include the viewer's name instead of the name "Krapp". Following a distorted transition, a character will appear, sitting at a table. Compared to original versions of the film, it appears the character will always replace the character of Krapp for the duration of the runtime. The character appears as an older version of the sole viewer. The script of the film is also heavily altered every viewing, with the tapes played recounting various memories of the viewer's life, a majority of them private in nature.
Tests with multiple viewers have demonstrated that the film will simply not play unless there is a single viewer. The film instead displays a disclaimer that reads the following (translated from French):
It's always nice to reminisce with friends about the times you shared together.
This film will not be discussing those times. It will discuss times that you would rather not share with those around you. They are for your ears, and yours alone.
Please, allow yourself to experience this film for all it is on your lonesome. It is the way we designed it for!
Sincerely,
The Sensation d'Information Team

Special Containment Procedures: The singular entrance to SCP-X is to be cordoned off from civilian access. The entrance is to be monitored daily, with a minimum of two security personnel on standby.
Both SCP-X-1 and SCP-X-2 are effectively self contained by SCP-X, but further of the study of the anomaly is hindered by the former. It is forbidden to enter SCP-X until such a time as SCP-X-1 instances can be successfully terminated. SCP-X-2 is to be apprehended when the opportunity is made possible for questioning and further containment.
Description: SCP-X is an anomaly existing in a hidden grotto in a remote area of the small town Cudgewa in Victoria, Australia. The anomaly is a superficial replication of a farmland property formerly known as "The Bluff Farm". The climate of SCP-X is unchanging; a thick fog coats the entire space occupied by SCP-X, while what appears to be artificial sunlight provides the main source of light within the anomaly. SCP-X violates geometry in that the currently explored parameters of the anomaly greatly excell the limits surrounding it within the grotto. SCP-X is occupied by various instances of SCP-X-1 and the singular SCP-X-2.
SCP-X-1 instances commonly resemble a Sus scrofa domesticus (the domestic pig). Instances appear as necrosis-induced, with flesh usually rotted to the point of bone exposure. SCP-X-1 instances are intangible, and have proven to be unaffected by conventional damage. SCP-X-1 instances appear extremely primative in thought, and are observed to behave like regular pigs. However, instances are notably more aggressive to intruders entering SCP-X, and actively attempt to attack subjects. SCP-X-1, despite their intangibility, are fully capable biting at prey, and commonly attack in packs, ripping apart their prey and devouring them. It is hypothesised that they are a security measure for the interior of SCP-X.
Not much information on SCP-X-2 is currently available, other than that it is a humanoid being dressed in ragged clothing. It is speculated that SCP-X-2 was formerly a farmer known as Harrison Whitley, a local pig farmer. SCP-X-2 seems to be biologically immortal, and is allegedly unable to expire by conventional means (See [insert addendum]). SCP-X-2 appears to be trapped within SCP-X. An explanation for SCP-X-2's confinement to the anomaly is currently unavailable.

euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is contained in a 7 x 18 x 12 meter tank filled with salt water. All walls of the containment tank are frosted with etching glass in order to maintain opaqueness in the glass. SCP-X must be fed 2 kg of raw shark meat daily; no more than 2 personnel are to carry out feeding protocols.
Any additional instances of SCP-X are to be reported, and MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") are to be dispatched, with orders to terminate any instances encountered.
Figure X-A: SCP-X upon displaying anomalous effects, and in an inactive state.
Description: SCP-X is a designation given to an oversized parasitic lamprey superficially resembling the Petromyzon marinus (Sea Lamprey). It is approximately 8 meters long, and is roughly four times the size of a standard sea lamprey.
When SCP-X is directly observed, subjects fall into a catatonic state; at this time no subjects have been observed to recover from this affliction. Following incapacitation, SCP-X will latch onto the subject with teeth arranged in circular patterns within its mouth and begin to parasitize the subject for blood.
Subjects present in the same body of water as SCP-X report "soft" ambient music throughout the enclosure. It is speculated that SCP-X uses this melody to attract prey closer when swimming, suggesting knowledge of human recreational activities.
Discovery: SCP-X was initially identified on 06/██/20██ close to the shoreline of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by local authorities, feeding on the corpse of a child that had been reported missing three days prior. SCP-X successfully incapacitated two officers with its anomalous ability prior to returning to the ocean. Foundation personnel secured the bodies and administered amnestics to all involved in the incident. MTF Gamma-6 was deployed to retrieve SCP-X.
SCP-X resurfaced during a scouting mission by MTF Gamma-6 operatives and attempted to incapacitate Foundation agents, and was hastily tranquilized. Stanby operatives assisted in the effort, storing the incapacitated SCP-X in a containment unit similar in design to its current chamber. Following this, SCP-X was transferred to containment without incident.
Expeditions by MTF Gamma-6 continued briefly following capture of SCP-X in attempts to discover any additional instances, but were suspended indefinitely following Incident X-1.
Incident X-1: On 29/██/20██, an expedition by three MTF Gamma-6 operatives was derailed following an auditory anomaly within the water. An audiovisual transcript of the log is attached below.

Containment Protocols: SCP-X-1 and -2 are both contained within an air-tight vacuum sealed Humanoid Containment Cell in Research Sector-25 at Site-096, and are to be provided numerous pieces of literature and silent film, rotated monthly. Any additional requests by either SCP-X-1 or -2 must be approved by Site Director Thomas Ridge.
SCP-X-2 is to be tutored weekly in sign language, and English and German writing in order to improve communication capabilities.
Figure X-A: SCP-X-1 during inspection of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp on 18/██/19██.
Description: SCP-X is the collective designation of two anomalous humanoids, each designated respectively SCP-X-1 and SCP-X-2. Both humanoids appear to be composed entirely of a matter similar to smoke, yet maintain a physical presence, enabling them to wear clothes and interact with objects. Both instances are capable of manipulating their shape and moving as a cloud of smoke. Generally, they prefer maintaining a humanoid presentation.
Both SCP-X-1 and -2 retain their consciousness and physical shape from before manifestation of anomalous abilities.
SCP-X-1 stands at 1.85 m tall. Formerly known as Emmerich Henning, SCP-X-1 was a former Nazi Party inspekteur. From diaries kept by SCP-X-1 during his travels with SCP-X-2, it has been concluded that SCP-X-1 orchestrated an escape from the Sachsenhausen concentration camp following a change of heart, but was later captured by Nazi forces. Of the anomalies, SCP-X-1 is the only one capable of cognitive speech, and acts primarily as a dignitary for the two.
SCP-X-2 stands at 1.23 m tall. Formerly known only as "Alek", SCP-X-2 was a Jewish prisoner of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Following SCP-X-1's attempted liberation of the camp, SCP-X-2 was also apprehended by Nazi forces. SCP-X-2 lacks communication capabilities, but is the most experienced of the two in its anomalous capabilities. With the addition of afofementioned abilities, SCP-X-2 also possesses capabilities of telekinesis, and a unique invisibility ability, in which it dissipates at a microscopic level, effectively occupying an entire room without being seen. During this state, SCP-X-2 somehow switches between its physical presence and intangibility. Teleportation is also an observed trait, as SCP-X-2 reassembles its physical appearance from its normal state in to another position.
Discovery: SCP-X-1 and -2 were discovered by Foundation forces during a raid of an abandoned Nazi bunker in Mittleberg, Austria. During the raid, both SCP-X-1 and -2 were found conducting investigation of the abandoned bunker. When confronted, SCP-X-1 verbally communicated with personnel, insisting that both it and SCP-X-2 would come peacefully, additionally requesting to gather its journals before leaving. It was further discovered that the two had been living in the bunker for merely week.

Special Containment Procedures: The area SCP-X occupies in Pembrey Woods, Burry Port, U.K. is cordoned off from the public. Site-594 has been temporarily established within Pembrey Woods.
Site Staff are required to have a pair of 3M Peltor X5A earmuffs on person at all times. In the event of an SCP-X-1 swarm, Site Security are to use the Site's Was 3000 speakers to play Sound Byte Iota-8 until swarm disperses. Any terminated instances of SCP-X-1 found after swarm dispersal are to be repremanded and studied, or disposed of in the Site morgue.
Any reports of PoI-4573 "Huginn" appearing in the surrounding area of SCP-X are to be reported to Research Head Vladimir Turgenev, and Foundation forces are to be dispatched to contain the entity immediately.
Figure X-A: SCP-X upon discovery by Foundation Forces on 18/██/19██.
Description: SCP-X is a handmade bird bath composed entirely of ceramic. It consists of two pieces that are seemingly unattached: a bowl with angled edges, and a podium. Within the bowl lie three red stones, which emmit regular luminiscence in a darkened environment.
At seemingly random intervals, SCP-X will begin to fill itself with blood. Blood produced by SCP-X appears to be a mixture of various bloodtypes. The means by which SCP-X is able to produce this blood is currently undetermined.
Following blood production, a swarm of SCP-X-1 will appear. SCP-X-1 instances resemble the typical corvus corax (common raven). Instances are genetically mutated in appearance, often possessing extra limbs and facial features, such as additional legs or eyes, as well as otherwise unnatural growths, i.e. human fingers, tentacles, etc. SCP-X-1 instances exhibit mixed cognition capabilities (Insert addendum here). It is theorized that the blood produced by SCP-X is the cause of these mutations. The chemical resulting in these mutations has yet to be identified from blood samples from SCP-X.
Discovery: on 2014/02/22, Foundation agents requested an investigation into the small Welsh town of Burry Port, Carmarthenshire following a sharp increase in the raven population. Tracking of raven activity led Foundation forces to Pembrey Woods. Agents discovered SCP-X in a secluded clearing in the woods. The anomaly was surrounded by dry mulch and dead tree branches, the environment standing in contrast to the rest of the woodland area.
Following discovery, Foundation forces were interrupted by an SCP-X-1 swarm yada yada

Special Containment Procedures: The singular entrance to SCP-X is to be cordoned off from civilian access. The entrance is to be monitored daily, with a minimum of two security personnel on standby.
Any recorded audio tapes left by SCP-X-1 are to be retrieved and uploaded to this file. Attempts to retrieve the entity remain ongoing, though current information indicates that SCP-X-1 is effectively self-contained by SCP-X.
Description: SCP-X is an anomaly existing in a hidden grotto in a remote area of the small town Cudgewa in Victoria, Australia. The anomaly is a superficial replication of a farmland property formerly known as "The Bluff Farm". The climate of SCP-X is unchanging; a thick fog coats the entire space occupied by SCP-X, while what appears to be artificial sunlight providing the main source of light within the anomaly. SCP-X violates geometry in that the currently explored parameters of the anomaly greatly excell the limits surrounding it within the grotto. SCP-X is occupied solely by SCP-X-1.
Aside from a wooden farmhouse surrounded by a long wooden fence, SCP-X's environment consists of a limited catalogue of plantlife, primarily common couch grass and reeds, as well as a large Fraxinus excelsior (common ash tree) population. A concrete path trails through SCP-X in a loop around the property, which passes through several forrest areas and water formations. The path splits off into several splinter paths when travelling along it. An end to these seperate paths have yet to be reached.
The majority of information regarding SCP-X-1 remains unknown. The entity has never been directly observed, nor has any physical matter been retrieved. The only information made available is from a variety of tapes that have been discovered within SCP-X at various locations. Information gathered from tapes left by SCP-X-1 includes:
- The entity's name, "Klyth".
- The entity indicates that it is male.
- It speaks in an English accent, though nationality cannot be confirmed.
- The entity has been 'trapped' within the anomaly for an unknown amount of time, though it comments that it stopped counting the days after 10.
- The entity is reportedly biologically immortal, and has not been able to age or die.
- It wears a suit that is never dirtied.
- It has engaged with other entities within SCP-X such as ducks, farmland animals and various other creatures, despite a noticeable lack thereof.
- It once had a profession as a writer.
All other information is unconfirmed by SCP-X-1 or its logs, but all information remains speculative.
