Item #: SCP-4236
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The building and materials that SCP-4236 consists of, are currently assembled at **Foundation Low Maintenance Site 11 **. All entrances are to be kept under standard video surveillance, and two guards are to be stationed at, and patrol the perimeter of SCP-4236. Their purpose is to deny any unauthorized and or undocumented entry. Electricity is to be constantly supplied, mimicking the conditions of an office building setting.
**Description : ** SCP-4236 is a complex of 3 rooms joined by a central hallway. These rooms consist of a large conference room, with an ovular wooden table surrounded by 7 office chairs. Across from this via the hallway is what appears to be a break room, which only contains a coffee maker and two cabinets. And a supplies room next to the break room, which holds a dot matrix printer, and the supplies to replenish it.
SCP-4236's anomalous properties manifest when a person looks into the break room from the hallway via its window. About 20% of the time they will observe a reflection of a ceiling fan spinning slowly above the table in the conference room. This happens despite there being no fan or window in the conference room to be able to see into it from that location. All persons who encounter the anomaly seem to express a wave of paranoia and distrust in the reality of their surroundings while in the area of SCP-4236. Later descriptions of the feelings described, seem to center around a dream like feeling of being watched by an abstract idea. Further details have not been able to be recalled.
These affects change in their nature when electricity is not supplied to the complex. Despite the lack of a power source, the fan in SCP-4236'S break room continues to rotate, but lights no longer function in any of the rooms. The manifestation of the reflections leads to longer lasting feelings of dread, and in some experimental cases with longer exposure, long term depression. A few poorly documented cases that took place in a no power state, seemingly had the affect of showing a humanoid corpse being suspended from the fan. This, as expected would severely disturb the viewer, and sometimes lead to a hysterical state.
On one occasion, D-Class saw the corpse, but due to the nature of the test she was not permitted to leave the premises. She entered what can be described as a disturbed mental state, complaining about the sound of the body hitting the walls, even though she was on the floor with a broken line of sight from the reflection, and the video recording detected no audio but her voice. Later investigation found that within the conference room , scarring on the walls could be found equidistant from the where the fan is reported to be seen, and two out of the seven chair had been knocked over. Current testing is on hold pending long term physiological evaluation of the test subject.
**Recovery Log: ** SCP-4236 was once part of a commercial office building located in Downtown Chicago. General rumors about that part of building being haunted had apparently existed for some time. But foundation personal were only informed after an isolated incident involving two children (siblings) having a physiological break at the same time occurred while in the building during a power outage. This resulted in one of the children throwing themselves out of an ajar window, causing them to fall 6 stories. And the other attempted to hang themselves in the conference room on a fixture that was not present.
After the anomaly became understood, the foundation rented the floor of the building SCP-4236 was present on in December of 1993 to prevent entry. After concerns of uncontrollable power supplies while in the building, the Foundation moved the complex out of the building and relocated it to Foundation Low Maintenance Site 11 in March of 1998. As mentioned before, testing is currently halted.
Despite the potentially dangerous and adverse effects of SCP-4236, its easily containable nature earned it a "Safe" designation by the Foundation
