Per 
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be left in the care of ███ ███ ██████. Access to SCP-XXXX is to be strictly limited to individuals known to SCP-XXXX and must maintain an energetic and entertaining demeanor. Measures are to be taken to ensure the comfort and contentment of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX is currently successfully contained but the anomalous properties are not yet well known and, due to its interdimensional properties and sentience, further containment procedure attempts have been deemed excessively dangerous and likely to result in failure at this time.
Addendum 11/7/2012: Agent T and Agent F have been instated and assigned to the containment of SCP-XXXX
Description: SCP-XXXX is a boxy organism of moderate size, approximately 30cm x 20cm x 8cm, with oversized hands, small eyes, and a jointed mouth. Upon interactions with researchers, SCP-XXXX has displayed a mental capacity similar to that of a 7-year-old human child with an innocent demeanor and an affinity towards music and friendship.
When provoked via threat or harassment, offenders (known herein as SCP-XXXX-1) evanesce. It is unknown at this time the fate of SCP-XXXX-1, however, speculation suggests they become imprisoned in an alternate realm or dimension accessed only via dream-state. No known recovery methods exist.
Discovery: Reports of a ‘haunted box’ reached Foundation personnel at 0100 on 10/28/2012. Upon arrival of Foundation agents, the target in question had been apprehended and tended to by a civilian who has since been instated as an agent of the Foundation (herein referred to as Agent H). SCP-XXXX appeared to have formed a preliminary bond with Agent H. Upon attempted extraction, Retrieval Team ████████ evanesced and has not been heard from since.
Addendum 4/30/2013: Missing Persons databases have been consulted and, at minimum, eighteen (18) cases dating from January 2005 to the date of discovery appear to contain circumstances congruent with the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX. A log has been opened of instances of SCP-XXXX-1 for the purpose of maintaining ongoing case files (See chart 1).
Interview #1
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Agent H
[Begin Log]
Agent H: I’m here at the ███ ███ ██████ facility in [REDACTED], California with SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Hi, I’m Crunchie.
Agent H: Hey Crunchie. Do you know who I am?
SCP-XXXX: [Giggle] Duh. You’re my friend.
Agent H: Yeah, we’re friends. How long have we been friends?
SCP-XXXX: A long time. Why are you asking such weird questions?
Agent H: So other people know more about you.
SCP-XXXX: But other people don’t like me very much. They’re scary and they try to take me away.
Agent H: Do you know why they do that?
SCP-XXXX: Because sometimes people go away around me.
Agent H: Do you know where those people go?
SCP-XXXX: No. They try hurting me or my friends and I just want them to go away. And then they’re gone.
Agent H: Does that hurt the people that go away?
SCP-XXXX: I dunno. This makes me sad, can we talk about something else?
Agent H: Sure. What’s your favorite thing to do?
SCP-XXXX: Go see music and play with my friends and dress up like it’s Halloween all day, every day!
Agent H: Is Halloween your favorite holiday?
SCP-XXXX: Oh yes! You get to dress up and pretend and people like me more on Halloween.
Agent H: Thanks, Crunchie. That's all we'll do for today.

Researcher Combs: Do you recall the name of the local band?
Whitman: Yeah, ███ ███ ██████
Researcher Combs: Did you have any further contact with Mr. Whitman following that phone call?
Whitman: No, he never called after the show and wasn’t answering his cell phone. I got worried and called his friend who said that he had drank a little too much and he went outside to confront [REDACTED] and he never came back. He assumed he had gotten a ride home.
Researcher Combs: Have you experienced any unusual occurrences or interactions since his disappearance?
Whitman: Well…I’ve had a few weird dreams.
Researcher Combs: What are the circumstances of these dreams?
Whitman: Well…they’re always different. The dreams aren’t really…I don’t remember much from the dreams; they’re always different, pretty normal. But I dream of Jason…or he’s there, in the dream. The first time he was just happy to see me. He seemed scared and he was asking for help. He wanted out. But then I woke up. Every time I see him he seems more frantic. [Sobbing] Last night…he came to me last night. I was dreaming of my childhood home and it was Christmas but I was my mother and I was watching me and my brother opening presents. But then Jason walked through the front door, not like through the open door, he just walked right through the wood, like a ghost. His hair was messed up and his eyes looked blank but they were scared. He ran to me and grabbed me…[Unintelligible]… I didn’t understand who he was at first and I wanted him to leave so he wouldn’t scare the children. He didn’t seem to even see them. I panicked…[Unintelligible]… But then I woke up and I knew it was him and…[Sobbing] it doesn’t make any sense.

SCP-XXXX expressed a desire to attend a show with Agents T, H, and myself. We permitted the trip. An incident occurred at the show 12/11/2012 due to becoming aggravated over an unruly attendee (XXXX-A-24). SCP-XXXX is no longer to be permitted to attend shows. Otherwise, SCP-XXXX has been successfully integrated into our routines. - Agent F
-

Quarter has been largely devoid of anomalous incidents. Containment via integration has proven to greatly reduce occurrences of SCP-XXXX-1. This quarter had one incident 3/15/2013.
Team attempted to secure SCP-XXXX prior to departure. SCP-XXXX grew agitated and depressed. The team made executive decision to permit attendance under the condition that SCP-XXXX remains backstage, secluded from civilian contact. Unbeknownst to the team, XXXX-A-25 sneaked backstage and attempted to extract SCP-XXXX which frightened SCP-XXXX. - Agent F

One incident recorded on 6/17/2017 resulting in one instance of SCP-XXXX-1
A client (XXXX-A-31) of team ███ ███ ██████ was permitted access to the facility. Upon initial introduction between SCP-XXXX and XXXX-A-31, XXXX-A-31 became irate concerning the working conditions the team was offering. Removal of SCP-XXXX from the scene was attempted by Agent H while Agent T attempted to deescalate the hostility of XXXX-A-31. XXXX-A-31 struck Agent T then instantaneously evanesced. - Agent F

A near miss incident occurred on 9/22/2018
SCP-XXXX attended a show at ███ █████ █████ in [REDACTED], California. An unruly attendee began causing a disruption in the crowd. SCP-XXXX was segregated from the crowd of civilians, however, I noticed SCP-XXXX had visual contact with the disruption and was growing increasingly agitated. The venue's security was promptly notified and the attention of SCP-XXXX was diverted by bringing it upstage where visual contact was disrupted by the stage lights - Agent F

One incident recorded on 4/1/2020
New advancement opportunities have presented themselves to Team ███ ███ ██████. The containment of SCP-XXXX has undergone some reconstruction including the slow introduction to several new clients and affiliates of the team. SCP-XXXX has been relocated from the main facility to reduce the instances of contact between SCP-XXXX and potential instances of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX has been made comfortable at the personal residence of Agent H where a room has been modified to accommodate the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX and ensure the comfort and sustainability of safety of all those surrounding SCP-XXXX - Agent F
