21. The Plague Doctor: SCP-049’s Experiments
SCP-049 is a humanoid entity resembling a traditional medieval plague doctor, complete with a long robe, leather gloves, and a beak-like mask. It stands approximately 1.9 meters (about 6 feet) tall and appears to be draped in black robes. While its appearance may seem reminiscent of historical doctors who treated victims of the bubonic plague, SCP-049 is far from a benevolent figure.
What makes SCP-049 particularly disturbing is its belief that it is a “cure” for a pestilence that it claims afflicts humanity. It is highly fixated on its mission to “cure” individuals it encounters. SCP-049 carries a satchel containing various surgical instruments and substances, which it uses in gruesome and often lethal experiments on living subjects.
When it identifies a potential “patient,” SCP-049 will become highly motivated to capture and immobilize them, often employing its apparent medical expertise to perform invasive and lethal procedures. These procedures typically result in the victim’s death, and SCP-049 will then claim to have successfully “cured” them.
Despite its macabre actions, SCP-049 speaks in a calm and polite manner, using archaic language and maintaining the demeanor of a doctor from a bygone era. It shows no remorse for its actions and genuinely believes that it is helping humanity by “curing” individuals of the mysterious pestilence it perceives.
22. SCP-1782: Tabula Rasa
SCP-1782, codenamed “Tabula Rasa,” is an anomalous chamber situated within an abandoned apartment complex located in Kiev, Ukraine. The room measures either 42 or 45 square meters and features imprints above the archway entrance bearing the inscription “jedna deväť osem d” (one nine eight d).
The most peculiar aspect of SCP-1782 is its ever-changing interior, which undergoes a transformation every three days precisely at 03:12 AM. This transition happens instantly and involves a complete alteration of the room’s appearance, layout, and contents. While the typical arrangement includes household furnishings, SCP-1782’s interior elements, along with the room itself, exhibit considerable signs of aging and heavy use. Variations in room configurations range from a combination of kitchen, bedroom, and living room setups to entirely empty spaces. Periodically, SCP-1782 materializes entities that appear to possess sentience, as well as various fauna. Strikingly, objects present within SCP-1782 before each transformation vanish without exception, regardless of their proximity to the room, precisely at 03:12 AM.
Despite its unpredictable nature, SCP-1782 does not appear to have any overtly adverse effects on individuals entering it. However, subjects who have experienced its interior consistently return with an acquired fear of holes, although the precise cause behind this phobia remains undetermined. Further investigation into SCP-1782’s enigmatic properties continues.
23. SCP-2510 – Got A Secret, Can You Keep It?
SCP-2510, now designated as ” Got A Secret, Can You Keep It?,” revolves around the enigmatic circumstances of Samantha McArthur (SCP-2510-1) and a peculiar phenomenon afflicting the town of Converse, Indiana. In 2019, Samantha McArthur, a high school senior, was found dead under mysterious circumstances. Autopsy results were inconclusive, but the Foundation estimated that her death occurred about five months prior, likely by her own hand, devoid of anomalous influences.
The anomalous aspect of SCP-2510 becomes evident when people within Converse interact with Samantha or discuss her. Anyone near SCP-2510-1 will actively ignore her, as if she’s invisible. If her name or any related topic comes up in conversation, those affected will divert the discussion away from it, remaining silent or refusing to acknowledge the subject. Even when individuals possess knowledge about SCP-2510-1, they either cannot or will not share any information, making inquiries with Foundation personnel futile.
The discovery of SCP-2510 was accidental, initiated by Reba Sinclair, who became distressed upon encountering SCP-2510-1 in a restroom at Oakhill Secondary School. Law enforcement and local authorities were similarly affected, leading to Sinclair’s desperate call to the Indiana State Police, eventually involving the Foundation. Multiple attempts to investigate SCP-2510, including undercover operations and interviews, have failed due to the pervasive influence of the antimemetic anomaly, preventing any meaningful progress.
24. The Flesh That Hates: SCP-610
SCP-610, also known as “The Flesh That Hates,” is a highly disturbing and contagious anomaly. It manifests as a rapidly spreading skin affliction that transforms the infected into gruesome and nightmarish creatures. The origins of SCP-610 remain a mystery, but it is believed to be connected to a series of events in a remote Russian village.
Infected individuals develop painful, oozing lesions on their skin, which eventually consume their entire bodies. They become grotesque, deformed creatures with an insatiable urge to spread the infection to others. SCP-610 is highly contagious, and contact with infected individuals or surfaces can lead to rapid infection and transformation.
The SCP Foundation has conducted extensive containment efforts, including quarantining affected areas and individuals. However, the entity’s ability to adapt and resist containment measures makes it a formidable and unsettling threat. SCP-610’s gruesome transformation and relentless spread make it one of the most horrifying entities in the SCP Foundation’s archives.
25. SCP-076, Codename Able
SCP-076, codenamed “Able,” is a containment anomaly composed of two components: SCP-076-1, a black stone cube, and SCP-076-2, a humanoid entity. SCP-076-1 is a 3-meter ancient black stone coffin covered in engravings of unknown origin. Inside it is SCP-076-2 a Semitic human in his late twenties, covered in arcane tattoos, held in place by chains.
While in containment, SCP-076-2 remains in a dormant state, effectively “dead.” However, at unpredictable intervals, SCP-076-2 awakens and attempts to exit SCP-076-1. Once free, it enters a rage state and seeks out the nearest human, engaging in lethal violence. SCP-076-2 possesses superhuman abilities, including strength, speed, and the ability to materialize bladed weapons seemingly from a miniature dimensional rift. Terminating SCP-076-2 is challenging, and it has been killed multiple times, only to reanimate within SCP-076-1.
SCP-076-1 and SCP-076-2 form an anomalous containment anomaly that poses a significant threat if breached. Containment protocols include surveillance and strict security measures to prevent unauthorized access to SCP-076-1 and the termination of SCP-076-2 when necessary. The containment history of SCP-076-2 involves several extreme measures to prevent its escape, including the detonation of a warhead during a containment breach.
26. SCP-3812 – A Voice Behind Me
SCP-3812, referred to as ” A Voice Behind Me,” remains a baffling and enigmatic entity that defies conventional comprehension. Believed to have originated from Sam Howell, a non-anomalous human who perished in 1996, SCP-3812 re-emerged after its burial and has since been a source of intrigue for the Foundation. Its initial appearance was marked by the demolition of an apartment building in Warsaw, Poland. SCP-3812’s appearance consistently mutates, rendering any attempts at tracking or containment exceptionally challenging, and it currently hovers over the South Pacific Ocean.
The entity exhibits a complex and advanced Eigenmann-Vietor schizophrenia complex, characterized by severe emotional fluctuations, delusions, hallucinations, and a distorted perception of reality. Initially, SCP-3812 displayed responsiveness to inquiries and sought assistance, but over time, it has grown increasingly withdrawn and uncommunicative. Notably, SCP-3812’s reality-altering abilities have escalated in unpredictability, sporadically resulting in reality distortions with significant dangers attached.
Several anomalous incidents have been directly linked to SCP-3812, including a notable XK-Class scenario in 2016. During this cataclysmic event, SCP-3812 transformed into a radiant, star-like entity, instigating catastrophic global consequences. Earth’s rotation decelerated, sea levels experienced a drastic drop, anomalous entities were released, and SCP Foundation facilities faced imminent destruction. A peculiar conversation within SCP-3812’s entity eventually led to a reversal of these catastrophic events, restoring the world to its prior state.
Efforts aimed at gathering information about SCP-3812 have been met with profound challenges. Affected individuals either prove incapable or unwilling to cooperate, complicating the Foundation’s comprehension and management of this intricate anomaly.
27. The Possessive Mask: SCP-035’s Influence
SCP-035 is a malevolent mask made of porcelain, resembling the tragedy theatre masks of ancient Greece. Despite its inanimate appearance, the mask possesses a sinister consciousness. When worn by a person, SCP-035 is capable of taking control of their body and mind, often leading the wearer to commit horrific acts of violence and murder.
What makes SCP-035 particularly disturbing is its persuasive nature. It can manipulate individuals into willingly donning the mask, promising power or enlightenment. Once worn, the victim becomes a host for the malevolent entity within the mask, which can lead to devastating consequences. The mask’s ability to influence and control people, coupled with its malevolent intentions, makes it a deeply unsettling and dangerous anomaly within the SCP Foundation’s containment.
28. SCP-2718 – What Happens After
SCP-2718, designated “What Happens After,” holds a sinister secret concealed from the public’s awareness. The anomaly centers around the disturbing notion that one’s consciousness persists within their deceased body, enduring the macabre sensations of decomposition and consumption. Even the destruction of the physical remains fails to free the consciousness, condemning it to an eternal cycle of torment. O5-11’s resurrection becomes the catalyst for this unsettling revelation as he recounts his harrowing experience after death.
The O5 Council, gripped by terror at the implications of this revelation, embarks on a perilous mission to eradicate death itself. The pursuit of a means to neutralize death consumes their thoughts as they grapple with the profound implications of SCP-2718. Some O5 members, recognizing the unbearable weight of this knowledge, opt for its complete erasure, wiping even their own memories of the existence of SCP-2718.
However, O5-11, driven by a sense of moral responsibility, believes that humanity has a right to be aware of this horrifying truth. In defiance of his colleagues, he risks all to disseminate the knowledge of SCP-2718. O5-7 shares his conviction, escaping the Foundation’s grasp to record a detailed log, preserving this chilling information for posterity. She pays the ultimate price for her audacity, and O5-11 willingly surrenders himself to SCP-106’s pocket dimension, choosing an eternity of exile over the torment of death’s aftermath. The Council’s collective memory is purged of SCP-2718, but the truth persists in the locked document, forever beyond the reach of oblivion.
29. SCP-1128: The Aquatic Horror
SCP-1128 is a formidable aquatic entity residing in the Pacific Ocean, characterized by its capability to prey upon large marine creatures like whales. It manifests its supernatural properties when an individual encounters an image or written description of the creature. Once exposed, the observer becomes a “witness” and any substantial body of water nearby, ranging from a swimming pool to a small bathtub, transforms into a gateway. This portal transports the witness to the open ocean where they become the target of SCP-1128’s hunting instincts. In most cases, the traumatized witnesses manage to escape from the water, albeit terrified. Tragically, some witnesses meet a gruesome fate, as their remains emerge from the water in a horrific eruption of blood.
The psychological effects of SCP-1128 infection are insidious. Witnesses gradually develop a heightened aversion to bodies of water, regardless of their size, and often experience anxiety and fear in proximity to aquatic environments. Over time, they start perceiving the manifestation of SCP-1128 within any water surface, even as small as a cup. This phenomenon draws them into the oceanic realm where the monstrous predator hunts. To mitigate the effects of SCP-1128, infected individuals undergo treatment involving the administration of class-C amnestic agents, effectively erasing all memories associated with the entity and its descriptions.
30. Anantashesha: SCP-3000
SCP-3000, also known as “Anantashesha,” is a massive, aquatic, serpentine entity residing deep within the Bay of Bengal. It is an anomalous and highly dangerous creature, posing a significant threat to human life and the secrecy of the anomalous world. SCP-3000 is estimated to be around 600 kilometers in length, making it one of the largest creatures known to humanity.
This anomalous entity exhibits carnivorous behavior, albeit rarely, as it is primarily sedentary. SCP-3000 is capable of swift movement to capture prey, but intriguingly, it seems not to require sustenance for its biological functions. While SCP-3000 excretes a dark grey substance known as Y-909 through its skin during feeding, the actual digestive process remains enigmatic.
SCP-3000, classified as Thaumi class, serves a unique role within the Foundation, aiding in the containment of other anomalies through its production of Y-909. To harvest Y-909, the Foundation employs a gruesome method involving D-class personnel. When consumed by SCP-3000, individuals are not metabolized but instead have their consciousness unraveled while being retained within the creature’s body. During this process, Y-909 is secreted, allowing the Foundation to collect it. This mysterious substance serves a vital purpose in creating Class-C amnestics, essential for erasing memories in trauma victims and experimental subjects requiring memory manipulation.
