Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is contained within a locked box, which is to remain inside a locked room of… Removal of SCP-X from its containment for testing purposes must be authorized by at least two Level 4 personnel beforehand, and shall not happen near densely populated locations. Individuals affected by SCP-X's effects are to be quarantined for observation until their symptoms are no longer present.
Description: SCP-X is a plastic baby doll that appears to randomly cause a similar dream in specific humans within the same environment of itself, and also is able to manifest itself near an individual prior to its awakening. Moreover, individuals affected by SCP-X tend to develop an intense paranoid, which in some cases lead to suicide (See Test Log for details). SCP-X's origins remain unknown.
Discovery: SCP-X was first found in Arizona, on October 5th of 1997, under the possession of Marilyn Garcia, a 9-year-old girl, daughter of brickslayer John Garcia and her wife, the maid Jane Garcia.
Item #: SCP-5938
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: In order to prevent the trigger of its memetic effects, the true nature of SCP-5938 is to remain unknown by the Foundation's personnel. It is a consensus among the majority of the researchers that this is the most efficient way to prevent the anomaly from spreading itself, as currently, it appears to remain under control.
Any individuals who are possibly related to SCP-5938 occurrences, or to SCP-5938's victims, are to be captured for observation for a period of 30 days and treated with amnestics before being released. Moreover, they are not to be exposed to images, writings, and personal objects of possible victims of SCP-5938 under any circumstances.
One security guard is to monitor the surroundings of Site-901 at all times, in order to prevent invasions by civilians, and explorations within the facility are currently prohibited.
Description: SCP-5938 is the designation of a series of anomalous disappearances of individuals between the years 2004 and 2012. The connection between its victims is that in none of the cases, close relatives or friends of these individuals are able to remember their former existences, claiming that they never met these subjects.
It is believed that the cause behind SCP-5938 occurrences is a memetic hazard of unknown origins, and it appears to have affected even the Foundation itself in the past. (See Discovery section for details.)
Discovery: The Foundation became aware of SCP-5938's existence in March of 2012 when a logistics specialist from Site-19 noticed within the Foundation's database a register regarding a facility designated as "Site-901", located in Florida, which apparently was formerly a Foundation's facility focused on investigating cases of mysterious disappearances of civilians, although none of the other researchers from Site-19, including the Site Director, were able to recognize or remember said Site's existence.
Immediately after the discovery, a team of Agents aided by members of MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") was deployed to investigate the location. Within 3 days of investigations, the team found a number of documents related to the employees who used to work within the facility, however, no registers regarding these individuals were found within Foundation's database, and their existences weren't able to be confirmed. However, a transcript of an interview conducted with an individual who apparently was affected by SCP-5938 was discovered within Site-911 Director's personal computer. As no memetic effects were observed upon reading, said interview was deemed safe to be included within this document.
Foreword: Interview conducted on 20/09/2007 by Agent Richard Silva, a Foundation's forensic scientist working on Site-901, with Laura Reed, a 32 years old female civilian who claims that she found within her house a room and several objects she is unable to remember the origin of. She was captured 1 month after an undercover Agent embedded within the local police became aware of her case.
A. Silva: Hello, Mrs. Reed. I'm Richard Silva and I need to ask you a few questions. How are you doing?
Laura Reed: I'm fine I guess… But I am not sure what is going on, you people suddenly appeared in my house and took me here almost as if I'm a criminal. Could you please explain what's happening?
A. Silva: Unfortunately, I can't give you any details about who we are, however, I can guarantee you that you're safe with us. No one here is going cause you any harm, on the contrary, we are here to help. And if you answer my questions with honesty, you will make our job easier and safely return to your normal life afterward. So are you willing to help us with this?
Laura Reed: Okay, sure… But I doubt I can be much of a help.
A. Silva: I'm sure you will be helpful Mrs. Reed, and thanks for your cooperation. So my first question is: How exactly did you find the mysterious room in your former house and what else did you find within the said room?
Laura Reed: Well… This topic is something that is just so… confusing and hard to explain. It's almost like my mind is in pain when I try to think about it, which is why I actually moved from that house two weeks ago, as I just wanted to forget about it. But since you really need me to talk about it I will make an effort. I had some weird dream during that night, it was something that I can't remember properly but I feel like it changed something in my head. Then when I woke up that morning, I felt like my memories were confused. I felt like was trying to remember something important, but couldn't. I went to work as always and even talked with some of my colleagues about how I was feeling, but they didn't really care at all, saying things like "this happens with everyone" and "I think you just need some rest". So I decided to stop workin a little earlier on that day to rest a bit, and when I got home I noticed that there was an extra room in my house, which I didn't remember being there ever before… (Laura pauses her speech at this point, seeming thoughtful.)
A. Silva: Please continue Mrs. Reed.
Laura Reed: Oh my bad, I got lost in my thoughts… Well, when I entered that mysterious room for the first time I found a bed, a wardrobe, a table, a backpack filled with notebooks, and a laptop. For some reason, those objects felt kinda familiar to me but I didn't know why… I decided to take a look at the notebooks and that was the moment things got even weirder…
A. Silva: What did you see in the notebooks?
Laura Reed: I saw the name of its owner… It was apparently from a middle schooler named… Hector Reed. When I saw that I didn't know what to think anymore… I thought that I was becoming crazy because there was no other possible explanation for what was going on…A. Silva: I can see how that probably was mindblowing for you Mrs. Reed. But what you decided to do after this discovery?
Laura Reed: I decided to call my husband who was still working and hadn't noticed the existence of that room as well, and when he arrived at home and saw it, he had a similar reaction to mine… He told me that his memories were also confused and didn't know what to think. We didn't have a son, but that room was there proving us the contrary… For some reason, I began to cry after he saw the room. And then after discussing for a while, we decided to call the police and explain the situation. They took the laptop, and the backpack claiming that they were going to investigate more about the owner of those objects and contact us afterward, but that happened 3 months ago, and when we went to the police station to ask why they didn't contact us anymore, they literally claimed that they never even went to my house and don't know about those 2 objects…
A. Silva: My apologies Mrs. Reed, but I can explain that to you. The reason why the police acted like that, is because one of our Agents was working with the police station under a disguise of a policeman and after he heard about your case he… let's say… made them forget what they were investigating and sent those 2 objects to us.Laura Reed: (Screaming while hitting the table angrily.) WHAT? SO AFTER ALL EVERYTHING WAS YOU PEOPLE'S FAULT?! OUR LIFE BECAME EVEN WORSE AFTER THAT, 'CAUSE A LOCAL TV CHANNEL WENT TO MY HOUSE TO INTERVIEW ME AND AFTER I TOLD EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO THEM, I AND MY HUSBAND BEGAN TO GET TREATED LIKE WE ARE INSANE AND RIDICULED BY EVERYONE AROUND US! YOU GUYS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT?! JUST TELL ME-
A. Silva: Please calm down Mrs. Reed. I truly apologize for what we caused you, but everything we did was necessary to prevent top-secret and possibly dangerous information to spread among the population. But I have good news! After investigating the laptop we found 2 things that might interest you. The first one is a photo of Hector Reed, and the 2nd is a text he wrote on his computer. We believe that this can help you to remember certain things you might've forgotten.
Laura Reed: Okay, I'm sorry… I've kinda lost control for a moment, but I guess that's understandable, what you said makes sense… And really?! I'd truly like to see it, please show me!
A. Silva: Don't worry we will let you see it. That actually is the main reason why we brought you here today. (Agent Silva picks up his telephone and makes a call.) Hello! Researcher Wilson? Please bring the laptop here, we're gonna show what we discovered to Mrs. Reed right now. (Agent Silva turns off the telephone.) Please wait a few minutes, Mrs. Reed.
Laura Reed: Sure…
(Approximately 3 minutes after the call, researcher Wilson enters the room, carrying the laptop with him, he delivers it to Agent Silva and leaves the room quietly.)
A. Silva: (Agent Silva opens the laptop's screen.) So here is it, Mrs. Reed. We found this picture which apparently consists of you, your husband, and Hector Reed together in your residence. (Agent Silva shows the screen to Laura Reed.) Does it help you to remember this person?
Laura Reed: (Stares at the screen for about 10 seconds before tears begin to fall from her eyes.) Oh my god… I remember everything now… He is indeed my son!! I can't believe that I completely forgot about his existence… I'm fucking angry at myself right now. Please… Please let me show this to my husband too! I'm sure it will make him remember Hector as well!!
A. Silva: I am glad that you were finally able to remember about your son's existence, however, I believe that you might reconsider showing it to your husband after reading what we found written by your son on this laptop…
(Agent Silva closes the pictures, opens a ".doc" file named "The Truth" and shows it to Laura Reed, who starts crying desperately while reading the document.)
Laura Reed: I can't believe this… Everything makes sense now…
Agent Silva: Calm down Mrs. Reed. Care to explain what do you mean by that?
Laura Reed: I can finally remember what happened on that night now… It wasn't a dream… My husband… No… Whatever that is taking his form. It's the one who made my son disappear… I've seen it with my own eyes… All he did was to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Afterward, he did something to me that made me forget even my own son's existence and made me sleep… This text was probably a cry for help that my son wrote! He probably knew that he couldn't tell anyone about his father's true nature and wrote that as a way to relieve himself and maybe even hoped to somebody else to see it and save him somehow… Maybe he was suffering for a long time… I can't believe that I never noticed anything… I hate myself.
Agent Silva: Well, I know this moment might be really difficult for you, but it's good that you were able to remember what happened, Mrs. Reed. We will immediately send our Agents after your husband and capture-
(At this point Agent Silva freezes, as he sees an individual resembling Hector Reed manifesting behind Laura Reed. He instinctively turns away his eyes from the individual, as it [DATA EXPUNGED].)
Site's Director Closing Statement: As I write this, Site-911's personnel are vanishing one after another. If it wasn't for Agent Silva's last effort of sending this transcript to my computer, maybe even this document would not even exist. I removed what I believe to be memetic triggers from this transcript so that it can remain as a warning for whoever reads this interview that it's probably better to not go further with this anomaly's investigations for the greater good. I can hear the screams getting closer and closer, each one of them ending abruptly… Yes, it seems like I got no time left. Well, it was a pleasure to work with you guys! Farewell.
Addendum 1: By order of the O5 Council, further investigation of Site-911 was prohibited on the 4th day after its initial discovery, as it was deemed by most of the Council members as too risky not only for the Foundation itself but the whole human race. However, further exploration might be considered if further occurrences of SCP-5938 are registered. The number of individuals around the world who might be affected by SCP-5938 currently is unknown.
Item # SCP-X
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to its properties, SCP-X occurring is currently unable to be prevented. A misinformation campaign by the Foundation is in course claiming that the victims of SCP-X died from a sudden heart attack. Surviving subjects who were affected by SCP-X are to be interviewed and amnesticized before being released by the Foundation.
Description: SCP-X appears to be a similar dream that randomly occurs with individuals that have no known relation with each other, and was related by over 60 individuals around the globe since September of 2020. Said deram appears to cause the death of its victims in the real world, in around 50% of the cases. Each one of the surviving victims of the dream who were interviewed by the Foundation claim that "they never had a dream that felt so real" and tell that it "changed their lives", although they aren't able to explain in detail this last statement.
The following is an interview with Ryan Grench, one of the most recent SCP-X's victims. The subject caught Foundation's attention after his appointment with Dr. Howard Lennister, a doctor who works in… Hospital while also being an undercover Agent for the Foundation. The interview took place within the Hospital on 27/02/2021.
Dr. Lennister: Hello. I am Dr. Howard Lennister, Nice to meet you Mr. Grench. So what's your issue?
Ryan Grench: Well it's about dream that I had a few days ago… It was different from any other dreams I ever had before. It was like if I was really there, because I was 100% concious during it, and I was able to remember that everything happening didn't make any sense, which I never was able to do in any other dreams… (Subject pauses.)
Dr. Lennister: I see. Well could you then describe what you can remember from the dream?
Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is contained within 5m high, 20cm thick concrete walls, with only one entrance. Two security guards are to be placed around the containment area at all times, in order to prevent possible invaders. Fences have been raised within a radius of 5km around the building together with several warning signs which say "Private property. Do not trespass." as a way to prevent civilians from approaching SCP-X's containment area.
The entrance of the building is allowed only to Class-D personnel for testing and after Incident X-A, experiments involving SCP-X and SCP-X-1 must be authorized by Level 4 personnel. As attempts to use drones to surveil the area have proven to be impossible due to the mist's density, two Class-D personnel should be sent to the interior of SCP-X once a month (while the mist is manifested), to observe if any unusual changes are occurring inside the area, especially regarding SCP-X-1's behavior. They are instructed to be as silent as possible while walking inside the area and to never approach a distance of 10 meters or less of SCP-X-1. Upon leaving, they are to report to head researcher Dr. Michael Mendes. Expeditions within SCP-X are currently suspended. (See Addendum X-2 for details.)
Description: SCP-X is an approximately 350x200m area near the town of ████████, England. Once a day within the area, at a random time, a red-colored, dense mist composed of unknown elements manifests. It is odorless and physical interaction with it appears to be impossible, besides the fact that it is difficult the vision inside the area. Said mist always dissipates approximately three hours after its initial manifestation.
Along with the mist appearance, a humanoid entity designated SCP-X-1 always manifests. Since 2009, the height of SCP-X-1 appears to be slowly increasing, currently being 3.8 meters. Its body is entirely black, it possesses two curved horns, bright red eyes and a red light appears to come from inside its mouth when opened. The entity is apparently blind, however, it possesses an extremely accurate hearing sense, superhuman strength, and prominent claws and teeth. Up to now, attempts to communicate with SCP-X-1 have failed. SCP-X-1 always manifests exactly at the center of SCP-X and usually does not move if not stimulated. SCP-X-1 does not seem to allow anyone to stay inside of SCP-X and it always vanishes alongside the mist's dissipation.
If SCP-X-1 perceives any living being within the area of SCP-X, it instantly becomes hostile and tries to attack and kill the invader(s). Anyone who approaches a distance of ten meters or less of SCP-X-1 becomes a target. After SCP-X-1 kills its victim(s), their(s) lifeless bodies vanish together with the mist and SCP-X-1. Attempts to terminate SCP-X-1 with common firearms have failed, as it shows an incredible physical resistance and its skin appears to be harder than most materials. When the mist is not present, no anomalous phenomena have been observed.
SCP-X came to Foundation's attention when 9 inhabitants of the town mysteriously went missing together on 23/04/2006, which was later deemed as a result of SCP-X's manifestation. Foundation personnel amnesticized witnesses of SCP-X and started working on its containment, which took around 3 months to be completed. Meanwhile, further investigations revealed that John Maynard, a serial killer who lived between the years of 1873 and 1906 used to reside in a house located relatively close to SCP-X's location.
Maynard was known as an extremely dangerous and disturbed individual who used to kidnap and eat his victims after torturing them for long periods of time. He often would attack his victims during the dawn, while a dense mist was covering the town and its surroundings, which is the reason why locals began to call him "The Mist Murderer". It is also believed that he practised dark rituals and thaumaturgy. Maynard was born into an extremely poor family and due to his unusual, quiet and cold personality, along with the fact that he developed an interest in the paranormal since his childhood, he was always a lonely and almost an ignored individual by the general society. Moreover, during his teenage, both of his parents went missing mysteriously, leaving Maynard by himself. As he never went to school, and no registers of places in which he worked were found, the way he was able to survive since his parents' disappearance is unknown.
Maynard was killed by the local population when the house in which lived was discovered by 2 citizens on 23/04/1906, exactly 100 years before SCP-X's first registered appearance. Archived magazines from the time describe the citizens burning his house while he was still inside it. A report by an eyewitness of the lynching was also included within an article regarding the incident. According to the person, one of the citizens stabbed Maynard's eyes with a fork when he attempted to leave the burning house, and threw him into the flames, saying: "Burn in hell you monster, this is nothing compared to what you did to my son." When the police reached the location, the house was already entirely burnt, and the citizens who participated in the massacre were already gone. Maynard murdered at least 13 civilians from 1900 to 1906, dying at the age of 33.
Considering the results of these investigations, Foundation personnel contacted local authorities and were able to recover a paper with what is believed to be writings of John Maynard which was found and kept by the local police since the incident 100 years ago and somehow survived through the flames, although 70% of it was excessively burnt, making it impossible to read. The following is a transcript of what could be deciphered from the paper:
Nothing can save them from what is coming […] (Three lines of unintelligible text follows the first sentence.) They don't know anything. They don't know what true pain, loneliness, and despair are, but once the entity who lives within me fully awakens, I will be the one laughing at you all. My soul is yours[…] (After the word "souls" the rest of the text is unintelligible.)
Incident X-A: On 08/02/2009, an experiment involving SCP-X was held. D-6773 was sent to the interior of it while the mist was present, ordered to stay there at a safe distance from SCP-X-1 and wait for the mist's dissipation. When it happened, D-6773 vanished together with the mist and SCP-X-1. 26 hours and 53 minutes after it, the mist returned, however, D-6773 was never recovered. Since then, a slow and consistent increase in SCP-X-1's body mass and height has been observed.
Addendum X-1: SCP-X-1 is apparently becoming more "active" recently, as related by Class-D personnel who witnessed it acting unusually. The following is a report by D-5755, the last surviving witness of SCP-X-1, upon leaving SCP-X on 07/07/2015: "That monster was walking in circles there but didn't move away more than 5 meters from its original position. I just hope that this activity doesn't keep increasing and that thing doesn't try to get out."
Addendum X-2: Since its initial containment, the Foundation has lost 23 Class-D personnel who were realizing observations within SCP-X's area and were killed by SCP-X-1. For this reason, besides the fact that SCP-X appears to be constantly "evolving" since Incident X-A, Dr. Michael Mendes, the head researcher assigned to SCP-X, decided to suspend these expeditions for an undetermined amount of time since 01/01/2016.
Addendum X-3: (This is an update of the situation regarding SCP-X written by Dr. Michael on 04/09/2019.)
"The mist present within SCP-X during its active state appears to be slowly but gradually increasing in volume and density through the years. The walls around it started to present signs of degradation for unknown reasons, becoming considerably more fragile than usual concrete walls. Moreover, the mist is now able to be seen rising above the borders of the walls from a considerable distance as it is apparently "overflowing" from the containment area. The security guards placed around it reported hearing "bang" sounds coming from inside the walls occasionally, and also mentioned been hearing what they described as "demonic sounds." The situation is starting to get out of hand as civilians occasionally notice SCP-X from kilometers away, as the mist now is visible even from outside of the walls, and due to that, the need for amnesticization of civilians has been increasing exponentially. We are considering closing the roof of the building somehow, but that would probably take an effort of years, especially due to the danger of working within the area currently. Either way, something has to be done here and fast. I will contact the O5 Council to hear their opinions about what is the best course of action at this moment."
Addendum X-4: After contacting the O5 Council, Dr. Michael decided that the best course of action is to develop completely new containment procedures for SCP-X. These are currently being developed. In the meantime, a unit of MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") was deployed to the location to assist personnel in case of a containment breach.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a locked room of Site-XX, under the
