Item #: SCP-5473
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: To stop any civilians and especially locals from entering SCP-5743, a 2.5 meter high electrical iron fence has been build around the object. The fenced area includes about 0.5 km^2 of forest, with SCP-5743 located in it’s center.
While it is currently not necessary for any personnel to stay on site, a team of at least two security forces has to appear on site within 5 minutes, should any civilians attempt to climb the fence. Several time-of-flight cameras are attached to the fence, to monitor the forest around the site. Should any of the cameras show an alert, the situation has to be evaluated immediately by a member of the security team.
Description: SCP-5743 is a building with two floors and a floor space of about 15 x 12 meters. It is located in a large forest in ███████████,
approximately 3 km away from a small village called ████████. The building was discovered after repeatedly being titled a “haunted house” by locals that experienced contact with SCP-5743-1. After a containment site had been built around it, all residents of ████████ were given memetics to forget about these incidents.
The first floor of the building is made out of rustic stone, while the second floor is entirely made out of wood and seems to be added to the building retrospectively. The interior of SCP-5743 looks mostly destroyed with a lot of stones and branches covering the floor. Testing done on materials that the building consists of or that it contains have not brought forth any anomalies so far.
Only one room that wasn’t affected by the destruction of the building can be found. It is located at the far right corner of the second floor. The room is windowless and measures about 3x3x3 meters in size. Just like the rest of the second floor, it is entirely made out of wood.
Any human that enters the aforementioned room and closes the door, will start to hear a bear-like growl after staying in the room for less than a minute. After about two minutes, sniffing sounds can be experienced getting closer to the door. Additionally, what is from here on called SCP-5743-1 can be heard pounding against the door after five more minutes.
So far it has not been possible for any personnel to make eye contact to the entity producing these sounds. Several tests were carried out in which cameras were installed outside of the room (see test file 5743-T1). Complementary, tests in which class-D personnel were instructed to open the door while hearing the sounds were conducted (see test file 5743-T2). However, both of these test have led to an immediate stop of all sounds and no sign towards any entity producing them.
While the sounds made by SCP-5743-1 are always similar when heard by adults, this is not the case for children under the age of about 12. If a child of fitting age stays in the room, the voice of a woman will speak to the child. None of the previously describe bear-like sounds will be present.
The most successful test so far was done with Dr. ██████ daughter, who was 11 years old at the time of testing. Details can be found in audio log 5743-A1.
