Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Proccedures:
The 250m x 250m area around SCP-XXXX is to be surrounded by a standard perimeter fence and patroled by unarmed guards that don't have German or Turkish origins. If any person breaches the fence, they are to be given Class-A amnestics. At no point should any person stay inside SCP-XXXX for prolonged periods of time. Such persons should be given Class-C amnestics.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a ~245 m² Victorian-era house located around 15 miles for Newcastle, England. It was once owned by the ██████ family, whose last member, Charles, died in 1917 in the Battle of Arras during World War I. After his death, the house started exerting it's anomalous properties. The Foundation purchased the house and surrounding property in 1924, after reports of "random humming" in the area.

When a British person enters the 200 metre radius of SCP-XXXX, they will begin hearing a soft humming of patriotic British songs¹. Some of the heard songs were:The British Grenadiers, Rule Britannia, God Save the Queen and 26 others. All attempts to record the songs have been unsuccessful, even when using devices of British origin.

When a German or Turk² enters the 200 metre radius of SCP-XXXX, they will begin hearing the same humming, but much more agressive and almost deafening. When in the radius for more than 5 minutes they will begin showing signs of paranoia and anxiety, but no further effects were recorded.

Note: it appears that having mixed German-Turkish background leads to the amplification of the hum, see Addendum-XXXX-C.

When a British person lives in SCP-XXXX, they will over time develop increased agression towards people from the nations that were on the side of the Central Powers during World War I³. After around a year of living in the house, the subject will claim to remember memories of World War I, and even experience "shell shock". After more than 2 years of living in SCP-XXXX, the subject will experience vivid hallucinations of people wearing war uniforms and holding rifles, which they will experience until their death. For a more deatiled report, see Addendum-XXXX-B.

+ Addendum-XXXX-A: Sir Charles ██████

Sir Charles ██████ was born ██/██/1891 to parents Henry and Mary in ██████, England. He moved to Newcastle at the age of 7, where he spent most of his life. He was known to be very talkative and social, with a large circle of friends. He was also known as a kind and charming, but wild person. He got married to Lady Martha ███████ in 1910. Both of his parents died before World War I⁴. At the age of 25, he was consripted into the British Army. He served both on the Western Front and in Gallipoli. He died during the Battle of Arras on the 4th of May, 1917. After his death, Martha's mental health rapidly deteriorated. She complained of loud music, and at one point attacked her psychiatrist, who was of German origin. She began having severe hallucinations 2 years after Charles' death. She lived a year longer before commiting suicide in 1920.

+ Addendum-XXXX-B: Experiment Log T-XXXX-9896

On ██/██/1966, testing of the effects of living in SCP-XXXX were approved by O5-██. This is the log of the 2 years and 1 month of the experiment.

D-9896 is a 29 year old British person from Liverpool, convicted for rape and murder in 1963. Subject shows no sign of mental illness and is fully cooperative.

// *Work in Progress*//

+ Addendum-XXXX-C: Experiment Log T-XXXX-3712/9186

on 195█/██/██, testing of mixed German-Turkish subjects was approved. Two D-Class subjects, D-9186 and D-3712 were instructed to walk into the zone. Upon entering the radius of SCP-XXXX, D-3712 let out a scream of agony, as her ears started bleeding. Subject confirmed deaf. When asked about the incident, D-3712 claimed he heard a painfully loud song before his eardrums ruptured.

Unlike D-3712, upon entering SCP-XXXX's radius, D-9186 immediately collapsed and died of cardiac arrest following a heart attack. Subject's eardrums appeared to have sustained no damage.

Further testing of SCP-XXXX discontinued per request of O5-██.
