Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-XXXX-1 being unmovable, Area-XXXX has been built surrounding it. Area-XXXX has been built to contain SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-2, and SCP-XXXX-3 at all times. Armed guards and motion cameras must be stationed around Area-XXXX at all times. Area-XXXX consists of a 30-foot wall constructed of [DATA EXPUNGED]. To ensure safety at all times, no on-site personnel are to enter SCP-XXXX-1 at all times.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a forest currently located in the northwestern side of █████, with trees made from material that has a consistency of wood and human flesh. This material has been classified as ████-█████████ ████. If one were to look directly inside SCP-XXXX-1, they would feel a sudden urge to enter SCP-XXXX-1. (If one were to enter SCP-XXXX-1, they are referred to as SCP-XXXX-4.) After entering SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-4 will begin to traverse SCP-XXXX-1 and will eventually find SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 is a totem pole constructed from ████-█████████ ████. SCP-XXXX-2 seems to have inscriptions that are written in an unknown language. Once trying to decipher SCP-XXXX-2, SCP-XXXX-4 will begin to feel uncomfortable and will want to leave SCP-XXXX-1. As SCP-XXXX-4 will try to leave SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to hear footsteps behind them, gradually getting louder and louder. If SCP-XXXX-4 looks behind them to see what's behind them, SCP-XXXX-4 will see SCP-XXXX-3 chasing them. SCP-XXXX-3 is a 7 foot tall, pale humanoid-like entity that has an elongated body that substitutes for a neck and head. SCP-XXXX-3 has multiple mouths and eyes stretching across SCP-XXXX-3's body. SCP-XXXX-3 will chase SCP-XXXX-4 and will then ██████ them. Once SCP-XXXX-3 █████s SCP-XXXX-4, SCP-XXXX-4’s body will be pulled under the ground and will then sprout into a new tree. Researchers believe that all of these trees were constructed this way. If SCP-XXXX-4 manages to escape from SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-4 will die of unknown causes an hour later.

Addendum XXXX-A: Interview with SCP-XXXX-4

Interviewed: [SCP-XXXX-4]

Dr. ██████: You do know I’m recording this right?

SCP-XXXX-4: Ok, I’m fine with that.

Dr. ██████: What did you see in there?

SCP-XXXX-4: At first, just an ordinary forest. Little did I know what hellhole I was walking myself into. When I saw something poking out of the woods, I was curious, so I walked over and saw a weird totem.

Dr. ██████: We’re there any inscriptions written on it?

SCP-XXXX-4: Yeah, I couldn’t tell what it said, it was in a different language yet it chilled me to my core.

Dr. ██████: How did you escape?

SCP-XXXX-4: I was scared, so I ran and didn’t look back. I heard footsteps and I didn’t want to know what was behind me. I only looked back when I was safe, and then I saw it.
