Item #: SCP-3461
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3461 is to be placed in a locked room and wrapped in opaque material. SCP-3461 is to be kept under constant real-time video surveillance whenever the opaque cloth is removed for any purpose (maintenance, analysis, experimentation, etc.) and must attain Level 1 certification to unlock the room.
Persons who have been in direct contact with SCP-3461 for more than 5 (five) minutes must immediately be removed and undergo psychotherapy until the symptoms of hallucinations have completely subsided and are not allowed to serve until they pass the physical and mental tests and recalibration training.
Description: SCP-3461 is a full-body mirror about 2 (two) meters high and 4 (four) meters wide. It is mounted on a gray, white concrete wall about half a meter thick. There are three dents on the wall that are believed to have suffered heavy blows. Based on previous experiments and the results obtained, Foundation scientists identified SCP-3461 as a medium-threatening psychological threat and it is an individual with self-consciousness.
SCP-3461 is known to "capture" the movements of all living beings. Once inside the subject's reflection range, the subject's image will be captured by SCP-3461 within 1 (one) to 5 (five) minutes. Subjects with captured images will be able to communicate with SCP-3461 and experience varying levels of hallucinations. Specific effects vary from person to person.
The first reaction, the auditory objects were heard in all the captured test subjects, and all of them said that they could clearly hear the playful sound of the children passing from behind the mirror. Some of the test subjects apparently became dull to outside sounds after the appearance of auditory hallucinations.
The second reaction, the captured test subjects may see hallucinations and feel an unusual sense of reality. Some objects will begin to feel a change in touch or ambient temperature. As the contact time increases, some objects start to crash and scream, because in order to “evade ███” and try to escape from the room, the body even appears in clawed, hand-covered scars in situations without self-harm.
The third reaction, a small number of subjects will hear intermittent speeches. According to the object's feedback, the voice exists in the same space and able to answer the subject's question briefly, thus learning that SCP-3461 is a self-conscious individual.
Up to now, 5 D-class personnel have interacted with SCP-3461. From previous data, SCP-3461 was initially suspected of SCP-3461's ability to gain insight into target fears in addition to its self-awareness.
SCP-3461 was discovered in a deserted dance school in ██████████, which had been blocked locally since 19██ and caught the attention of the Foundation after the [DATA EXPUNGED] incident.
Document 3461-1: Experiment 1
D-9125 is a 36-year-old black man about one-sevenths of a meter tall. He has a strong fear of the dark environment. There is no psychological abnormality. There were dozens of [DATA EXPUNGED] crime records. D-9125 is equipped with an audio headset for talking to Dr. ██████████ and equipped with a watch that records the target heartbeat and sweat level.
D-9125 enters the room containing SCP-3461, and the opaque fabric covering SCP-3461 is pulled upwards, revealing the mirror of SCP-3461.
D-9125: Do you want me to look in the mirror, Doctor? I don't like mirrors.
Dr. ██████████: Please stand in front of the mirror.
D-9125 walked in front of SCP-3461 and looked at the mirror from left to right.
D-9125: This makes me feel embarrassed. Doctor, how long do I need to stand here?
Dr. ██████████: You can move around in the room without facing the mirror.
D-9125 walked around the room for about 2 minutes and touched SCP-3461's mirror with his hand, but the individual did not respond. At this point, the D-9125 image in the mirror has been "captured" and stopped.
D-9125: Jesus! My reflection will not follow me!! [Weep his hands]
Dr. ██████████: Are you feeling abnormal right now? Feeling of nausea or dizziness?
D-9125: No, it's just —- wait. I hear laughter.
Dr. ██████████: We did not hear any sounds -
D-9125: [interrupted] The sound is getting louder and louder like a group of children playing beside me.
The watch that D-9125 equipped has showed a significantly faster heart rate and increased sweat level, indicating that D-9125 is in a state of extreme anxiety.
Dr. ██████████: D-9125, please calm down. Can you hear me?
D-9125: Shut the hell up! [Exhibits abnormal irritability and violent tendency]
D-9125 abruptly stops its movement. The watch data shows that the target heartbeat has risen sharply and is in a state of extreme panic.
Dr. ██████████: D-9125? What happened? Please answer.
D-9125: The lights are gone. The lights are gone. The lights are gone. The lights are gone. The lights are gone. The lights are gone. The lights are gone [Repeat]
Dr. ██████████: The lights are gone? We haven't turned off the lights. D-9125. Did you see anything?
D-9125: [No response]
Dr. ██████████: Please respond. The room lights are normal. Can you hear me?
D-9125: [panic, shouting]
D-9125 stretched his hands forward and touched the wall with both hands. From the psychological and physiological data of D-9125, it was revealed that in the senses of the subject, the room was indeed dark. D-9125 accidently hit SCP-3461's mirror and left a crack in the lower right of the mirror. The subject's left thigh was wounded. After about 3 minutes, D-9125 fainted in the room of SCP-3461 and the watch showed that the target heartbeat was close to 180.
D-9125 wakes up after 15 hours of coma and is caught in ████. It has not yet fully recovered.
Document 3461-2: Experiment 2
D-9377 is a 35-year-old South Asian male with several records of smuggling of drugs, a history of mania and a slight tendency to violence. The D-9377 is equipped with a headset that can talk to Dr. ██████████ and a watch that records heartbeat and sweating. Before entering SCP-3461's containment room, D-9377 asked the staff to provide energy bar as food and request withdrawal.
After entering the room containing SCP-3461, D-9377 stood in the corner of the house, pulling up the opaque fabric that shielded SCP-3461. The crack on SCP-3461′s lower right corner caused by the impact has returned to its original state.
Dr. ██████████: Please come to the mirror and make sure you can see your own image in the mirror.
D-9377: Well. [Stand in front of SCP-3461] Please finish this experiment quickly. I am very hungry.
Dr. ██████████: Thank you. Now you can walk around in the room.
D-9377 then leaned against the wall next to the cell door, and in less than 2 minutes the target's image had been captured and stopped moving.
D-9377: What the hell? I stopped moving in the mirror.
Dr. ██████████: If you feel any abnormalities, please let us know.
D-9377: Hey, doctor. Can you fix your damn earphone? It keeps making weird noise.
Dr. ██████████: We did not receive any sound here. Can you describe the sound?
D-9377: This is the kind of rustling sound that is coming out of an old TV. It is really annoying!
Dr. ██████████: You have to endure first -
D-9377: [interrupts] It's for me to wait, every time single time!
D-9377's data has risen sharply. Strong emotional fluctuations have caused the target's embarrassing and violent tendencies.
Dr. ██████████: Please calm down, we will -
D-9377: This stupid place, stupid scientists like you, and this stupid mirror!
D-9377 punched on SCP-3461 with his right fist, breaking the central mirror, and D-9377's right hand was cut by a splinter.
Dr. ██████████: You must calm down. Please take a deep breath.
D-9377: Shut your bloody mo -
D-9377 turned around and stop moving, began to run around in the containment room, at the same time issued a sound of screaming which was difficult to distinguish the content. It can be seen in the surveillance records that there are unknown claw marks on the ribs and thighs of D-9377. After D-9377 was rescued from the containment room, the subject was caught in a state of insanity. After examination, it was assumed that the wound on D-9377 should be caused by a large animals such as a lion or a tiger. At present, D-9377 has passed the physical health test, but the mental status is still unstable.
Document 3461-3: Experiment 3
D-9842 is a 30-year-old Italian woman of medium height with a history of anxiety disorders. The goal was jailed for 4 years because of [REDACTED]. D-9377 wore a headset that talked to Dr. ██████████ and a watch with a heartbeat, sweat rate.
The opaque cloth that shields SCP-3461 is pulled up. SCP-3461's crack in Experiment 2 has returned to its original shape, and the missing fragments have also been automatically restored.
Dr. ██████████: Please stand in front of the mirror.
D-9842: [Stand in front of SCP-3461] Like this?
Dr. ██████████: Yes, now you can move freely in the room.
The D-9842's image was captured by SCP-3461 in about 4 minutes and stopped moving.
D-9842: My mother, what's wrong with this?
Dr. ██████████: This is a normal phenomenon. Please stay calm.
D-9842: I, who is playing the piano, scared me
Dr. ██████████: Can you hear the piano now?
D-9842: Yes, Dr. Didn't you hear it? It was a mess.
Dr. ██████████: According to current knowledge, it seems that only people who was in touch with SCP-3461 will be heard, but we are still not sure.
D-9842 stayed in the shelter for nearly 15 minutes. The data showed normal and the mood of the target was stable.
D-9842: How long do I have to stay, Doctor? This piano sounds very uneasy to me. It actually makes me feel very annoyed!
Dr. ██████████: Please wait patiently before we have further discovery.
D-9842: Also, I feel so cold. Can you adjust the air conditioner here? [Slightly shaking]
D-9842: [Suddenly yelling] There is something!
Dr. ██████████: Something? What do you see?
D-9842: [Scream] Doctor, there is a monster on this side, it wants to kill me!
Dr. ██████████: We didn't see anything. Can you describe the monster?
D-9842: [extreme panic] It runs so fast that it is about to catch me - [sores from the throat]

Document 3461-5: Experiment 5
D-████ is a 29-year-old woman with an average appearance of about one-sixth of a meter. She has previously been addicted to [REDACTED] drugs. [DATA EXPUNGED]. D-████ wore a headset that talked to Dr. ██████████ and a watch that recorded heart rate and sweat rate.
Dr. ██████████: Please stand in front of the mirror and make sure you can see your reflection in the mirror.
D-████: [Look at SCP-3461] It is a full-body mirror. It reminds me of childhood dancing.
Dr. ██████████: Thank you. You are now free to move around in the room.
D-████ had been in the room for nearly 2 minutes. This was the same time as the previous stay. The heart rate and sweat rate data remained normal and the images in the mirror remained uncaptured. After 2 minutes, the target image stops moving and is captured by SCP-3461.
D-████: [panic] Dr. Do you see it? My reflection will not move.
Dr. ██████████: Yes, have you heard, seen or felt different now?
D-████: Hey… I [pause] I heard a child's voice and it sounded like a boy.
Dr. ██████████: A boy? You only hear one voice?
D-████: Yes, he is singing. It's a foreign language I can't understand.
Dr. ██████████: In addition, can you point out the source of the sound?
D-████: Sorry, I can't tell. The sound is going all around the room.
D-████ suddenly screamed, her heart rate suddenly increased, and slowly returned to normal.
Dr. ██████████: What happened? Anything unusual?
D-████: Oh, sorry. I just felt something passing behind me and that scared me.
Dr. ██████████: If you see or hear something else, please tell us right away.
D-████: [nervous] Doctor. Something is holding my right hand.
Dr. ██████████: Can you see its shape?
D-████: [deep breath] No, I didn't see anything. [Gently clenching her right hand] The size and feel are like a child's hand.
Dr. ██████████: Do you feel unwell now?
D-████: I think - wait, who is talking?
Dr. ██████████: Did you hear anything else? Tell us about the details.
D-████: [Ignoring Dr. ██████████] What are you? Why-are-[choppy]
The headset that D-████wore lost its connection, and the other instruments with recording and communication functions both experienced failures and signal problems. From the monitor, it can be seen that D-████ remained in its original position and did not move. The heartbeat and sweat rate data remained at a normal level, indicating that the subject is still alive and in a relaxed state. D-████ fainted in the containment room after approximately 8 minutes in the state when communication between D-████ and SCP-3461 was not known due to the failure of the communication headset. The test subject was rescued without any scars or wounds, D-████ woke up after 2 hours. Afterwards, D-████ passed the psychological and physical condition assessment, all data showed normal, and the subject did not make any abnormal behavior. According to the D-████, SCP-3461 is [REDACTED] and emphasizes SCP-3461 [REDACTED].
