Item #: SCP-4447 (this is a placeholder number that I hope to have.) A.K.A "Handprint"

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4447 is located in a room created entirely of plexiglass, measuring approximately 10 feet wide, 10 feet tall, and 10 feet long, with SCP-4447 mounted on a stone slab, resting approximately 2 feet above the floor of its containment cell. The plexiglass room is located in a facility in the rural area of ██████, Illinois. The room must always be kept at 72°F, with a humidity level of ████, ██% more than the "average" humidity in the area. Through the plexiglass walls on each side of the room, a hygrometer must be placed in view of personnel observing SCP-4447, to monitor humidity at any given time. Personnel observing SCP-4447 are strongly advised to maintain a steady distance of at least 3.5 feet away from SCP-4447 at all times. No personnel, regardless of clearance level, is permitted to touch SCP-4447's surface without wearing protective gear.

Description: SCP-4447 was discovered in the suburb ██████, of Chicago, Illinois in 20██, in the home of Mrs. █████ ██████.

The subject is a plexiglass plate measuring approximately a half-centimeter thick, 3 feet tall, and 2 feet wide. It was originally found installed in a window of a shower, used to insulate the window while someone was showering. Before SCP-4447 was retrieved, it was fastened into its fixture with common household calk, and no holes in the insulation were found along its edges. If exposed to temperatures of 72°F for a time either of or greater than 1 minute 33 seconds, SCP-4447 begins to show signs of moisture collecting on its surface, like a mirror or otherwise glass surface would in a room of high humidity. After the initial starting time of SCP-4447's 'clouding', as dubbed by its handling personnel, a small interval of exactly 4 minutes passes, before a handprint begins to fade into SCP-4447's surface. The handprint has been aptly titled SCP-4447-A. The appearance of SCP-4447-A in full takes exactly ██ seconds to materialize.

SCP-4447-A is a handprint of humanoid structure, with intact digits, a palm print, and a thumb print. There is nothing distinctly abnormal about the visual of SCP-4447-A itself recorded in logs and reports, but exposure to SCP-4447-A has been recorded to cause various psychosomatic effects in different class-D personnel.

SCP-4447-A, when in contact with skin, has been recorded giving test subjects seizures, panic attacks, as well as causing erratic and unpredictable actions. However, after the exposure ends, test subjects return to normal, (unless exposure lasts several days, and ████████ or [REDACTED] occurs) some even being unable to recollect their encounter with SCP-4447 and SCP-4447-A at all.

Addendum:

Authorized personnel may refer to Documents 4447-I, 4447-2, and [DATA EXPUNGED] for documentation of assessments.
