SCP-895

ITEM #: 895

OBJECT CLASS: Euclid

CLEARANCE LEVEL: 2

CATEGORY: Cognitohazard

SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: SCP-895 is to be housed in a six (6) meter by six (6) meter by six (6) meter concrete chamber accessed by a single staircase. No electronic equipment of any kind is to be brought within five (5) meters of SCP-895. All surveillance equipment with a twenty (20) meter radius of the containment chamber is to be of closed circuit design. Personnel assigned to SCP-895 are to undergo weekly psychiatric evaluations.

DESCRIPTION: SCP-895 is an ornate oak coffin recovered from the [REDACTED] mortuary on [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-895’s anomalous attributes are revealed whenever electronic equipment is brought within a twenty (20) meter radius. Said equipment starts to display various glitches, bugs, and other malfunctions, increasing in severity the closer they are brought to SCP-895.

This effect is most prevalent and dangerous in electronic video and optical equipment, such as cameras, cellular phones, and night vision goggles. In these cases, images start appearing on these devices, usually disturbing in nature. When these devices are brought within five (5) meters of SCP-895 (known as the ‘Red Zone’), the images become vivid enough to kill the viewer, usually through either cardiac arrest or a stroke.

ADDENDUM A: “As of ##-#-####, three (3) reports of personnel seeing the face of SCP-087-B on computer monitors near SCP-895’s containment chamber. Despite some suggestions that this is a prank, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is a result of SCP-895’s anomalous effects. Further research into a possible connection between SCP-087 and SCP-895 is pending.” -Dr. Iceberg

ADDENDUM B: Recent research with SCP-148 and SCP-714 suggest that these items may be used to nullify SCP-895’s harmful properties.
