Item #: SCP-5441
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5441 is to remain in the building that the entity was discovered in, located in [DATA EXPUNGED], Manchester, United Kingdom. Researchers on site should be notified that this was the residence of the entity before it became anomalous. Up until recently, SCP-5441 has not moved from that location. The street and local area where the entity is/has been active in has been blocked off to the public in a 0.8km radius, the area has been officially condemned due to the surrounding buildings being derelict and unfit for habitation.
As of Incident Report 5441 - 1, the back entrance door to the housing estate has been permanently blocked off using a standard concrete barricade and all surrounding windows are now reinforced by steel bars. Following this incident: SCP-5441 is now more active and hostile and is more likely to break out of containment.
A response team is to be deployed on-site with an additional Class-D Personnel, ranging from one to three, if SCP-5441 is to undergo a containment breach. Class-D Personnel are provided to read any letters placed by the entity as they possess the ability to alert the entity to the location of the individual interacting with them. Reading one of these letters during a state in which SCP-5441 is showing high aggression will attract the entity, allowing it to materialize nearby. Note that reading these letters when at a certain distance from the entity will not make it appear. This distance is theorised to be at the least 0.5km. When SCP-5441 appears, armed personnel are instructed to fire upon the entity with standard rounds. The entity will perish and all activity will cease for a certain period of time, usually ranging from four hours to a week, before reanimating with a normal appearance and no additional physical disabilities than before death.
Level 2 Personnel are permitted to be on-site but must get confirmation from another member of staff with Clearance Level 3 and above. If research is to go forward, containment specialists must be onsite and prepared for any scenario involving the breach of containment of SCP-5441.
Description: SCP-5441 is a human male, assumed to be in their late 20's or early 30's. The entity wears a formal suit accompanied with a black tie and has its hair neatly combed over to one side. The entity has been shown to:
- Appear and reappear at will in a seamless manner
- Create feelings of anxiety and dread to those that are near it.
- Change the layout of its containment area.
- Place letters with anomalous properties that mark the subject to be stalked by SCP-5441 when interacted with.
The letters which are placed by SCP-5441 are directed to a woman known as 'Annabelle', which is confirmed to have been SCP-5441 spouse or partner.
When SCP-5441 is 'active', the entity will often cry/wail. Subjects in the area of SCP-5441 will typically experience feelings of sadness or dread depending on their will. Individuals with a history of depression, or have recently lost someone close to them, tend to feel uneasy and distressed whereas someone not affected by such mental illness or grief may just feel tense.
As individuals remain in the presence of SCP-5441, or they have interacted with the letters that the entity places, SCP-5441 will proceed to stalk the subject and wait for a moment when they are most vulnerable before materializing out of sight, usually in a place absent of light. The entity will then proceed to charge after the individual. SCP-5441 will then proceed to reach out with its hand and scream intensely at the target. Following this, the heart of the subject will then burst leading to death.
Addendum 5441 - 1: From research into the entity, it is theorized that SCP-5441 is hiding something from those that enter its containment area. Speculation into why the entity is doing this is currently being discussed, as it is constantly changing the layout of its containment chamber frequently almost as if it was keeping something out of site.
An exploration into the estate is to be put forward.
Documents 5441 - Credentials Needed:
To my dearest Annabelle,
My heart yearns for you still. I fear that dreaded bombs will fall and take you away like the kiss from my lips. I dare not to think of the worst that might have happened to you as I am away from you this in moment. My wet eyes weep tears of sorrow and I am afraid that I cannot go on without you.
Annabelle dearest, nothing would make me happier than to see you smile once more.
I promise to you that I will return from this dreaded war and come to you with glee in my eyes and a rose in my hand.
My dearest farewell,
George
Note: The letters stick to the main theme of referring to 'Annabelle'. This letter serves as an example of SCP-5441 at 'minimum' hostility.
Annabelle,
I fear the worst now, I can feel my heart being ripped from my chest when you do not respond to me. Why must you not reply? I shake with terror of what caused you to turn away from me. Was it my anger that night we fought? Was it my tone in my last letter? I'm afraid, Annabelle. Please write back to me, for I sense something is not right.
Your Dearest,
George
Note: This letter serves as an example of SCP-5441 at a slight level hostility. The writing may refer to violent acts or the feelings of 'anger' and 'rage.'
I know what you have done.
I am so, very angry.
let me show you what has become of me
Note: This letter serves as an example of SCP-5441 at high level of hostility. The letter may be roughly written, slightly bloody or in lower case. It may also refer to feelings of 'anger' and 'rage'. The letter may also mention a 'knife' or various other weapons. Slurs directed towards 'Annabelle' can also be mentioned in the letter.
Addendum 5441 - 2:
The exploration into the estate lead to a room that was in a far worse condition than the rest of the estate. Inside was the corpse of a woman, dressed in 1940's garb with her chest savagely ripped open and a still-beating heart placed in her hand. The body was fresh as if the murder was done recently. However, reports show that the woman had been preserved, most likely by SCP-5441. It was then taken away and stored in a morgue where it is undergoing study. Since the removal of the body from the containment area, a wailing sound has been reported from coming inside the home every so often.
The body that was recovered is thought to be Annabelle.
Incident Report 5441 - 1:
Summary: On ██/██/18, A Class D Subject, designated D-10367, went into SCP-5441's containment area and remained inside for twenty minutes. Upon reading his third letter, the subject became distressed. He then began to yell violently and demanded to be let out. When denied removal, D-10367 ran to the back of the house and proceeded to assault the back door, trying to open it. SCP-5441 then became hostile and proceeded to chase the subject and killed him. Just before termination, D-10367 managed to break down the door and run outside.
The document below describes in full what happened.
Incident Report 5441 - 1:
Point of Expedition - Attempting to find more notes on Annabelle/George (SCP-5441)
11:40 - D-10367 enters the house. Doctor Kazimir is leading the expedition from outside.
11:41 - D-10367 proceeds to explore the home, looking for notes: as instructed. He is given a radio for communication.

11:46 - D-10367 begins to show signs of distress, mostly due to the weeping of the entity. He continues to explore the house.
11:49 - D-10367 finds a second letter, SCP-5441 reportedly stopped weeping. D-10367 becomes increasingly more distressed and explored with more haste.
11:52 - SCP-5441 is reported to be stalking D-10367, subject then asks to be released due to "uneasiness." Doctor Kazimir then denies the request and D-10367 responds in anger but reluctantly continues the expedition.
11:53 - The third note is found and D-10367 becomes paranoid. He rushes to the back room and begins to assault the door with brute force. At this point, response teams are sent to the location in fear of containment breach.
11:53 - SCP-5441 is reported to yell violently at D-10367. People close to the door did not understand what he was saying.

11:53 - SCP-5441 escapes from the building, enraged.
12:06 - Almost all on-site personnel are killed by the effect of SCP-5441 by the time the response team arrives on site.
Response Team Radio Transcript:
The onsite Response Team were sent to the area with haste, Units include: Trigger 1 though 5. Radio Support was provided by Control.
[Response Team arrive on site via armored vehicle, they take the point: getting to cover.]
Trigger 1: Trigger 1 standing by. Leading squad. Standing by for orders.
Trigger 2: Trigger 2 and 3, standing by for orders.
Trigger 4: Trigger 4 and 5, standing by for orders.
Trigger 1: Squad is ready. Standing by.
Control: Copy that, Response. As informed to you earlier, SCP-5441 has breached containment. Your mission is as follows: secure and re-contain SCP-5441.
Trigger 1: Understood. Re-containment of SCP-5441 is underway. Moving out.
[Trigger 1 moves forward, he signals for the other members to move up to any available positions of cover, Trigger 2 moving to Trigger 1's position, Trigger 3 inside an abandoned corner store and Trigger 4 and 5 moving up the street and taking point.]
Trigger 3: [Hears something inside the building he's in.] Got something here, Trigger 1.
Trigger 1: Trigger 2, move to 3's location.
Trigger 2: Copy, moving out. [Trigger 2 moves up to 3 and inspects the area with them. They come across a letter, most likely left by SCP-5441.] We've got a letter over here. [Trigger 2 begins to read the letter, 3 watching him.]
Trigger 1: Be careful, 2. The entity is active.
Trigger 2: The letter is just about some girl called Annabelle, I'm sure it's fine-
[As described by Trigger 3, SCP-5441 appears from the shadows and reaches out towards Trigger 2 A bursting sound was heard accompanied by SCP-5441 shrieking. Blood spews out of Trigger 2's mouth and the entity attempts to flee.]
Trigger 3: SHIT! Trigger 2 is down! Repeat, Trigger 2 is down! [Trigger 3 fires his weapon at SCP-5441. Four shots of 5.56 mm rounds hit SCP-5441. SCP-5441 begins to slow down, but flees before Trigger 3 can land more shots.] I managed to hit him, but he managed to get away… Fuck…
Trigger 1: Damn! Control, we have a KIA. Trigger 2 read a letter placed by SCP-5441. The entity fled.
Control: Trigger 1, remain calm and continue your mission. It appears that SCP-5441 would be summoned by a subject reading a letter placed by itself. In that case, you may need to risk one of your lives to re-contain the SCP.
Trigger 1: [He sighs] Copy.. Trigger 3, hold your current position. Everyone moves up to the corner store and guns at the ready. We don't fully know what it is capable of.
[Trigger 1, 4 and 5 move up to the corner store where they regroup with Trigger 3.]
Trigger 3: The fucking guy came from the shadows and got 2… He just sorta yelled and grabbed him.. And it was like something in him exploded.
[The creaking of wood was heard near 5, coming from the back of the store.]
Trigger 5: We have movement nearby. [5 readies his gun and signals over to the back of the store, there residing a wooden door, which is ajar]
Trigger 4: 1, permission to take point?
Trigger 1: Affirmative. 5, go cover 4.
[4 and 5 both go to the door. Once at their location, 5 begins to slowly open the door and then looked inside. The room was empty, with a letter hung up on the wall:
'you cannot hide Annabelle from me.'
Trigger 5: [Inhales] Shit…
[As soon as 5 says this, SCP-5441 appears from the corner of the closet and runs towards 5. He screams in fear as this happens and attempts to back away before the entity can make contact with him, but fails and is terminated. Now, SCP-5441 is left out in the open. Trigger 1, 3 and 4 began to fire upon the entity, and after a few seconds of continuous firing. SCP-5441 was now inert and no longer a threat.]
Trigger 1: Control. Trigger 1 reporting, SCP-5441 is incapacitated. List of KIA include Trigger 2 and 5 as well all on-site personnel before 12:06. Personal request to designate SCP as 'Keter' Class.
[End of Report]
Note: Discussion is currently ongoing as to possibly change SCP-5441's designation to 'Keter'. As of this Incident, new containment methods have been put in place and the consideration of changing SCP-5441's current containment are also being discussed.
"D-11345, please enter the containment chamber."
Patrick Laymen sighed. He knew what was going to happen next, there was no release at the end of the month: they get killed off before that comes around. He responded to the voice behind him: "Alright Doc… your wish is my command…" Patrick stepped forward into the building and the door shut behind him.
The estate was a shithole; wallpaper was peeling off, bits of the floorboards were gone and most of the windows were sealed off or broken. Patrick sighed once more and looked at what he was given before entering the housing estate. On him was a short-range radio, attached to his Class D attire and a clipboard. Soon after he inspected himself a voice called out from the radio.
"D-11345. Are you getting this message?"
"Loud and clear.. Hey, if it's alright to ask: why do I have a clipboard for." He walked into a room at the back of the estate and look around, the rooms look as if they were looted ages ago and the repugnant stench of blood was lingering around the halls.
"The house has a tendency to change in layout whenever someone enters and we believe that the entity contained in the building is hiding something, judging from our investigation."
"Right.. right… so there's a monster in this thing?" He continued to roam the rooms, like the doctor said: the layout was definitely randomised.
"Correct. The entity will ignore you so theres no need to worry about it trying to kill you."
"Thanks, that really comforts me doc. I'll get back to you when I find something."
Patrick continued around the rooms, not finding anything. Although, something was caught him off guard, he heard crying. Not the typical child or women, it was male. Patrick got the sense that the something was off. Fear lingered in his heart about what was crying.
"Doc.. I heard crying."
"That would be SCP-XXXX, do not worry and follow the sound of the crying."
Patrick wiped some sweat from his brow and did as the doctor said. The crying lead him back to the entrance where he looked up at the stairs and saw a man, smartly dressed and crying. This was the person he was meant to look for? As soon as Patrick stepped forward: the man walked away quite quickly: still weeping. He continued to follow the weeping, slowly so he might try and get another glimpse of the unknown figure.
As he walked the weeping got more louder and more intense, it led to a door which swung opened as Patrick put his hand against it. The room he had entered was a bedroom with pictures hanging on the wall: of the man he had saw and a women he didn't recognise, most likely his wife or a girlfriend. Patrick put two and two together and assumed that something must of happened to the women in the picture, he shook his head and muttered: "Man… that's rough…"
Upon closer investigation of the room, a neatly folded piece of paper was on the bed, Patrick then picked up the note and began to read to himself with his clipboard tucked under his armpit.
My lovely Annabelle,
I am writing to you to inform you I am alright, although I am under constant fire from the German War Machine: I still have time to write to you my dearest. I want to say and do so much but paper cannot show how much I love you. However, I fear that my letters are not reaching you and for that I urge you: if you get this letter please respond to me my love, For I miss you deeply.
To the one I love,
From George.
Patrick look at the note once more and closed his eyes and held it tightly. This was all too familiar to him as when he was on death row he would write letters to his fiance and get no response. "…Jesus Christ…" Patrick then activated his radio.
"Doc. I found a note, can I come out now."
"Not yet D-11345: remain in the building for ten more minutes and try and collect more notes."
Patrick murmured something under his breath and replied to the doctor, putting the note on the clipboard whilst doing so.
"Understood…"
Patrick then continued to wander the building, entering rooms and inspecting what was in them. Only find old memoirs of the couple and newspapers from the time period. After a certain amount of time, Patrick entered a room with a certain atmosphere lingering, the room felt cold and the air was hard to breath. He found a note nearby on a bedside table and read it.
Dearest Annabelle,
I fear that I had done something wrong to make you not reply. What my dearest, what have I done that leaves me feeling of dread! Was it my anger the night I left? I am deeply sorry, I just want you to reply dearest Annabelle, for I miss you deeply and you not replying is like my heart being burned in an acid pool.
Please write back to me Annabelle. I miss you.
Your lover,
George.
The air got more heavy and Patrick looked around frantically, put the letter on the clipboard and realised something.
The crying has stopped and the building was eerily quiet. Patrick quickly activated the radio:
"Doc, I can't do this anymore, something is up and I can't-"
"D-11345. Remain in the building for the time required or be faced with termination of you and this expedition. Is that under-"
"I don't give a shit if this shitshow ends! Listen here.. i'm getting out of he-… fuck…"
The radio was silent for a few seconds. The doctor attempted to respond to the subject.
"D-11345! Respond immediately!" After a brief time period some screaming was heard from inside and the yell of an unidentified male, most likely SCP-XXXX. Then there was running towards the front door and frantic knocking.
"LET ME OUT! FUCK, PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU, TAKE THE LETTERS AND LET ME OUT!" The subject pushed the clipboard and a third letter through the door.
The doctor looked at the two security personnel at the entrance and spoke with agitation in his voice: "One of you, take the items and terminate the subject. We got all that we needed."
One Security personnel took the items and another pointed a rifle at the door, equipped with a silencer and switched of the safety until a scream came from the door and a sound of something bursting was heard from behind the door. The scent of blood filled the air.
"D-11345, Patrick Laymen, Terminated by SCP-XXXX."
you bitch,
i knew what you were doing the entire time.
i'm going to rip out your fucking heart and show you what it feels like to be heartbroken.
im going to put you in the basement and ruin you
be afraid.
The note that D-11345 retrieved allowed for armed personnel to retrieve the body of Annabelle [REDACTED]. He has recieved a Posthumous Award for Contribution to The Foundation and his family recieved an inheritance of money.
"All I wanted to do is see my family again." - Patrick Layman.
