Picture of SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Containment Protocol: Due to the SCP foundation not understanding the full extent of SCP-XXXX’s supernatural effects and due to its current location, SCP-XXXX's containment is not currently possible. To prevent any occurrence of a breach, a 3 meters tall chain link fence is built around it, the fence is marked periodically with a sign that reads: “Private Property”. Also, the area is home to an undercover Site that is camouflaged to look like an inhabited mansion.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 40 km² crystal clear lake located in ███████ near the peak of the ███████ Mountains. The fauna and flora around the lake are exceptionally lively and seems to possess above average health. Many of the researchers have reported animals usually avoiding human contact (e.g deers) approaching them of their own volition, additionally, violent animals such as predator are surprisingly friendly.

The anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX are only observable when direct eye contact with the body of water is made. All organisms, be it air-breathing or not, appear to be able to breathe under SCP-XXXX’s surface without any external assistance. The SCP researchers also sighted animals walking on the bottom of the lake and were able to do the same. Also, all of the personnel reported being able to perfectly see under the surface of the liquid composing SCP-XXXX as if there is nothing but air. The volume of SCP-XXXX does not lower when sampled, but also stays the same when a sample is returned to the main body. The liquid (dubbed SCP-XXXX-1) does not differ from normal H²O at a molecular level. Its temperature is also constant, and does not alter from ██ degrees even when heated or cooled using extreme methods.

SCP-XXXX was a location frequented by the people of the now defunct ██████ religion that used it as a location for an unknown ritual. The latter is poorly documented due to the lack of data caused by incident Tau-312 but has been confirmed to be related to “Cleansing the darkness of the world by bathing in the sacred waters of the Lake of Crystal” by the Head of the Archeology Research Team, Dr. ████████.

Addendum 1: The SCP-XXXX-1 effects have been confirmed not to have a visible effect on human organisms that ingested it apart from a slight increase in the dopamine level.
What about the fear inhibition properties it demonstrates on animals? Doesn’t it have the same effects on humans? -Dr. ██████

Addendum 2: SCP-XXXX does not spread its effects to other liquids if it is the one spilled into the latter. But the opposite has shown to give SCP-XXXX’s effects temporarily to the non-anomalous liquid.
