NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Test logs and subsequent notes are to be preserved as they currently are. Testing will continue under supervision, along with a mandatory psychiatric evaluation after each development cycle.

Item #: SCP-6636

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6636 is to be stored within Site-42 in the confines of a locked and refrigerated opaque canister. The temperature must be set to 13°C or less at all times when SCP-6636 is not being actively tested to avoid further damage and preserve the material as long as possible.

All additional photographs and audio tapes that were recovered are to be stored alongside SCP-6636.

Description: SCP-6636 is the designation of a currently unknown entity discovered within a collection of unbranded black and white 35mm film rolls, alongside several additional developed photographs found on scene at its suspected place of origin. The entity appears to only manifest while the film is being developed and the subjects within the recorded photos themselves become inexplicably altered as the process is carried out.

The collection of images recovered from SCP-6636's initially discovered location in [REDACTED] includes two separate portraits of currently unidentified individuals. Within them, each subject is seen displaying varying levels of distress and instances of bodily harm, such as bruising. Within the currently unprocessed rolls of film, none were showing in the negatives before development.

As photographs showing SCP-6636 have been tested, each one appears to become increasingly distorted, along with reported damage to the object as each test progresses over time. Chemical burns, impossibly dark shadows enveloping the film, and water damage caused by a seemingly unknown source have been recorded, along with unexplained indentations akin to fingers being pushed through the backside of the photographs.

NOTE: As we process the recovered media, the determinate danger of SCP-6636 will become clearer. The designation may be changed as we continue testing.

001
Water at a beach. Small imperfection.
Distortion and addition of colour. Large holes burnt through.

003
A cliffside. Some distortion is present.
Large hole and extreme distortion. A double-exposed shadow of what appears to be a female face is present.

006
Portrait of an unknown female subject, smiling.
Extremely warped. The subject is dishevelled and appears distressed. She is pointing at someone behind the camera.

007
Second portrait of the same subject.
Water stains on the outer edges. Her dark hair is floating upwards as if she is suspended in water, though both instances were showing that her surroundings are a simple backyard. Her visage appears akin to someone that is drowning. More testing required.

Audio.01 recovered and archived.

Yeah, this film was a steal! They said there was some sort of chemical imperfection but look at these negatives - they seem fine.

Which is impressive considering they were found in —

W-wait. What is that?

Are you seeing this…?

The film canister labelled as ‘02’ has considerable outer damage and flecks of what has been determined to be dried blood. The film roll inside the canister is destroyed beyond the ability to process.

02 is to be preserved and kept as a record, ensuring no supplemental damage.

An old leather-bound portfolio labelled ‘04’ was discovered with noticeable fire damage on the edges of its exterior and interior. The exterior is covered with the words, “How are you not seeing it?” scrawled erratically, suggesting a manic state.

A film strip labelled ‘9’ found inside has the previously noted female subject shown to be smiling in a candid shot with birds flying behind her. As the strip continues, it becomes distorted with colour. The final image appears to be her having drowned, though she is on land.

The film strip labelled ‘10’ shows a man standing in front of a wall with graffiti. Images progress with the graffiti having changed and the man on the ground.

04 is to be preserved and kept as a record, ensuring no supplemental damage.

TEST LOG - 05

DATE: February 3/2019

NOTE: Every developed image we've tested has changed dramatically over the last month. Photographs have become burned or nearly clawed through as if SCP-6636 is attempting escape. Why am I the only one who is seeing the damages? I HEAR YOU. Why do I have to be the one suffering through these godforsaken files. I’m not afraid of you

Does SCP-6636 project their fears? Why do I keep seeing my own

Are they relieved that they’re dead? Are these my fears and not theirs?
I want to stop. Are you SEEING this?
