SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently contained in a storage locker in Site-XX.
This document will be expunged from Foundation records on 03/05/2004 to prevent any leakage of highly confidential information to other Groups of Interest.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Speed Graphic camera1 found within a darkroom in Site-03. Images produced by SCP-XXXX often show a humanoid being (or multiple instances in some cases) that appear to be incorporeal outside of the photograph. These figures are seemingly aware of the person taking the photo. However, they do not exhibit the ability to produce a tangible force on the user in any way.
Addendum XXXX-1: Site-03 was the first recorded site dedicated to the containment of local anomalies and the supposed2 establishment of the Overseer headquarters in the 1950s. However, deteriorating structural integrity in the early 2000s necessitated a total renovation of the site. This prompted a search-and-store operation on 03/01/2004.
As part of an inspection to check for any damage, the workers used SCP-XXXX to capture a photo of the office cubicles. The produced photograph revealed a blurry silhouette of a humanoid entity, male, holding its hands up to SCP-XXXX's lens to shield its face from the flash. SCP-XXXX was then transferred to Site-XX's research personnel for testing.
On 03/02/2004, research personnel took several photographs within Site-XX. However, no anomalous observations were observed anywhere in Site-XX. As such, research personnel focused on Site-03 instead. Multiple photographs were taken in several facilities in Site-03 in a clockwise manner. This was repeated another time to improve the consistency of any discrepancies.
| Location | Details of photograph |
|---|---|
| Darkroom | No abnormalities observed for both rounds. |
| Restrooms | No abnormalities observed for both rounds. |
| Cafeteria | Seven humanoid entities, all in mid-20th Century clothing, are seen sitting at a table with coffee and tea cups. Most appear to be engaged in a conversation, except for one male, who is captured glaring in the direction of the photographer. These figures could not be found in the second round. |
| Lounge | In the first round, two humanoid entities, whose faces are different from those in the cafeteria, are playing a game of English chess. One of them notices the photographer, and gestures a handwave to leave. Both were absent in the second round. |
| Physics laboratory | In the first round, three different entities appear to be engaged in a conversation at a table. One of them examines the electron microscope, while the other two peek over its shoulders. One of them shields itself facing the camera. This was not seen in the second round. |
| Main hall | In the second round, research staff noticed the manifestation of two rows of plastic chairs in front of the SCP Foundation logo. After taking a photograph in front of these chairs, the image revealed two rows of seated individuals. The front row featured two female entities and four male figures. The rear row featured two female entities and five male entities. All are smiling in lab coats. One of the individuals, male, is holding up a piece of paper reading "GO AWAY". |
According to the representative of the Overseer Office, Dr. Fletcher Skivs, SCP-XXXX has been designated for decommissioning on 03/05/2004, overruling a joint opposition voiced by the Site Directors in favor of containment. Any queries on the decision are to be forwarded to Dr. Skivs.
