Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:

Description: SCP-XXXX is an incorporeal entity capable of entering and assuming control over the bodies of live humans. It lacks the ability to enter the bodies of nonhuman entities. How it came across its first host is unknown, but when the entity feels the need to take control over a new host, it can do so by forcing its current vessel to make physical contact with another human being, during which it can move between the two bodies. When the entity leaves a host's body for a new vessel, it loses control over the body until it reenters. Despite this, it seems that former hosts retain a connection with SCP-XXXX even after it exits them. In the event that its current host dies, it automatically returns to its previous living host. Individuals who have been inhabited by the entity in the past are also able to instinctively recognize when another person is under its influence, though they may not be consciously aware of it.

SCP-XXXX does not always exert control over its current host. It is capable of allowing them control over their body while it remains inactive, though it is also capable of taking back control at will. Subjects typically lose consciousness while under SCP-XXXX's influence, and when they awaken upon being given back control, they often appear disoriented and cannot remember events that occurred while they were being manipulated. There are rare instances of subjects capable of remaining conscious while under the entity's control, though it is unknown why this occurs.

SCP-XXXX was first discovered by the Foundation on (date) in (location). Foundation personnel were deployed to the area when an abnormal number of residents began to report gaps in their memory. Upon interviewing some of the afflicted townspeople, personnel discovered that those suffering memory less would also occasionally experience an inexplicable feeling of dread upon looking at certain people. When personnel were finally able to track down the entity and attempted to take it in for questioning, it killed its current host by slashing its own throat with a pocket knife. After regaining control over its previous host, it escaped the area, taking on a new host afterward. The Foundation, being unaware of the nature of its abilities, lost track of the entity until reencountering it on (date) in (location), when it had unknowingly taken the body of a retired Foundation scientist.
