EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-D-02 

Stimulus: Message placed on wall behind horse, such that the 
horse's rear obscures the message from SCP-1247's line of sight. 
Perceived Result: SCP-1247 is able to read the message, as the 
anatomy of the perceived Shia LaBeouf is insufficient to obscure it. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-D-03 

Stimulus: Low-intensity laser aimed at eye of SCP-1247. Path of 
laser then blocked by horse's rear. Laser activated. 

Perceived Result: SCP-1247 reacts to laser. Researchers observe 
that laser is successfully blocked by horse. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-E 


Purpose: To examine SCP-1247's primary effect in relation to 
animals passing from direct line of sight, and to investigate the 
hypothesis outlined in Experiment SCP-1247-E1-C-06. 
Researcher: Dr Chen. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-E-01 

Stimulus: Anatomically standard ant. Ant exits SCP-1247's line of 
sight. 

Perceived Result: Shia LaBeouf instantaneously disappears. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-E-02 

Stimulus: Ant placed within transparent container. Volume of 
container is 4 cm. 

Perceived Result: Shia LaBeouf pressed against exterior of 
container. Shia LaBeouf mimics the movement of the ant within the 
container, but remains affixed to the container. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-E-03 

Stimulus: Swarm of twenty (20) anatomically standard blowflies. 
Perceived Result: SCP-1247 exhibits signs of heightened distress. 
Test temporarily suspended and SCP-1247 removed from testing 
area. SCP-1247 later reports having seen an inconsistent number of 
Shia LaBeoufs flying through the air, appearing and disappearing 
instantaneously and at random. SCP-1247 stresses the "leering 
eyes" and "slurping mouths" of each Shia LaBeouf. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-F 


Purpose: To examine SCP-1247's primary effect in relation to 
photographs of animals. 
Researcher: Dr Chen. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E1-F-01 

Stimulus: Photograph of human test subject D-2474. 
Perceived Result: SCP-1247 accurately perceives photograph. 
SCP-1247 exhibits strong positive emotional reaction. 


Secondary Effect Testing 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-A 


Purpose: To examine SCP-1247's secondary effect in relation to 
anatomy, 
Researcher: Dr Chen. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-A-01 

Subject: Anatomically standard worm. 

Test: SCP-1247 instructed to drag Shia LaBeouf across the room by 
his arm. 

Result: SCP-1247 appears to take hold of an invisible arm located 
nearby the worm. The worm instantaneously moves, 'snapping’ into 
position in SCP-1247's hand. SCP-1247 appears to mime dragging 
a body across the room. The task is accomplished with moderate 
difficulty. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-A-(02, 03, 04) 

Experiment SCP-1247-E2-A-01 is repeated, with the test subject 
replaced first by a human, then a cow, and then a chicken fillet. All 
tests had the same result. SCP-1247 reported that the weight of all 
four test subjects was identical. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-B 


Purpose: To examine SCP-1247's secondary effect in relation to 
weight. 
Researcher: Dr Chen 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-B-(01, 03, 05, 07) 

Subjects: Common earthworm, human, cow, chicken fillet. 

Test: SCP-1247 instructed to hold each test subject in a fireman's 
carry. 

Result: Even where the anatomy of the test subject would make this 
difficult or impossible, SCP-1247 accomplished the task with the 
same level of moderate difficulty. SCP-1247 reported that the weight 
of all four test subjects was identical. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-B-(02, 04, 06, 08) 

Subjects: Common earthworm, human, cow, chicken fillet. 
Test: SCP-1247 instructed to hold test subject, then step onto 
scales. 


Results: 
Weight of SCP-1247: 82.409 kg 


Weight of worm: 0.001 kg 
Total weight: 82.410 kg 


Weight of human: 72.020 kg 
Total weight: 154.429 kg 


Weight of cow: 640.500 kg 
Total weight: 722.909 kg 


Weight of chicken fillet: 0.350 kg 
Total weight: 82.759 kg 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-C 


Purpose: To examine SCP-1247's secondary effect when applied 
indirectly. 
Researcher: Dr Chen 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-C-01 

Subject: Chicken fillet. 

Task: SCP-1247 asked to place a mask over Shia LaBeouf's face 
without making direct contact. 

Result: SCP-1247 was able to accomplish this task. After SCP-1247 
released the mask, it remained in place, midair above the chicken 
fillet. When SCP-1247 ended observation, its second anomalous 
effect ceased to affect the chicken fillet and the mask fell to the floor. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-C-02 

Stimulus: A soft projectile was launched toward SCP-1247 such that 
it would be blocked by a horse's rear, but not by a perceived Shia 
LaBeouf. 

Result: The projectile was blocked by the rear. SCP-1247 reports 
seeing Shia LaBeouf "snap" into position to block the projectile at 
the point of impact. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-C-03 
Stimulus: Two soft projectiles were launched simultaneously, such 
that one would be blocked by a horse's rear, and the other by the 


same horse's neck, but neither would be blocked by a perceived 
Shia LaBeouf. 

Result: Similar result to previous experiment. Shia LaBeouf 
reportedly moved nigh-instantaneously to block each projectile. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E2-C-04 

Stimulus: A wide spray of water was fired from a hose, such that it 
would be mostly blocked by the body of a horse, but would not be 
blocked by a perceived Shia LaBeouf. 

Result: Shia LaBeouf remained in place, while the spray of water 
was blocked by an invisible barrier in the shape of a horse. 


Tertiary Effect Testing 
EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E3-A 


Purpose: To establish a basic understanding of SCP-1247's tertiary 
effect. 
Researcher: Dr Zhang / Dr Chen 


DISCOVERY OF TERTIARY EFFECT 

SCP-1247's tertiary effect was discovered during a routine therapy 
session. SCP-1247 was shown a series of flashcards, printed with 
images of various animals and non-animal organisms. When shown 
an image of a morel mushroom, SCP-1247 perceived a blank card. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E3-A-01 
Stimulus: Live morel mushroom. 
Perceived Result: SCP-1247 is unable to perceive the stimulus. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E3-A-02 

Stimulus: Live morel mushroom. Researchers divide the mushroom 
in half with a scalpel. 

Perceived Result: SCP-1247 is unable to perceive the stimulus. 
SCP-1247 appears uncomfortable, and reports a minor headache. 


EXPERIMENT SCP-1247-E3-A-03 

Stimulus: Divided morel mushroom. Researchers attempt to ignite 
the mushroom. 

Perceived Result: SCP-1247 exhibits great distress (screams). The 


mushroom is propelled away from the researchers by an unseen 
force. SCP-1247 loses consciousness and falls to the ground, hitting 
its head against a wall. SCP-1247 removed from testing room and 
scheduled for an MRI/CT scan. 


RESULTS OF MRI/ CT SCAN 

SCP-1247 is uninjured. However, results of spectrometry reveal that 
the foreign fungal entity appears to have extended further into 
SCP-1247's brain. The fungal entity now occupies over % of 
SCP-1247's brain. 


Testing of SCP-1247's tertiary effect has been indefinitely 
suspended. SCP-1247 is now required to wear a padded crash 
helmet at all times. 


SCP-1248: Personality Recorder 


Item #: SCP-1248 
Object Class: Safe-nuntii 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1248 may be kept ina 
standard containment locker at Site 20, along with all cassette tapes 
that it has recorded. SCP-1248 is to be tested only in a soundproof 
room with a separate observation area. 


Testing of recordings made by SCP-1248 (hereby SCP-1248-1) 
should take place only on separate cassette players to avoid undue 
harm to SCP-1248. Testing requires permission of at least two Level 
3 personnel. 


Description: SCP-1248 is a Walkman WM-DEC recording device 
with wear and tear consistent with regular usage. As with normal 
devices of this model, SCP-1248 is capable of recording sounds 
when a cassette tape is inserted. The name "Eric" is carved into the 
underside of the device. 


SCP-1248’s anomalous properties manifest when a person listens to 
an instance of SCP-1248-1 with one or more human voices 
audible.! Any subject who hears the recording will become listless 
and unresponsive until the recording stops or the subject is 
otherwise unable to hear SCP-1248-1. Upon recovery, all subjects 
will exhibit the personality traits of one person who produced sound 
heard in SCP-1248-1. This change is permanent and affects all 
facets of the subject’s personality. However, memories, intelligence, 
and skills will usually remain unaltered. 


It has been found that subjects will remain unaffected by instances 
of SCP-1248-1 listened to after their first exposure, except in cases 
where the exposure is to their own voice. Note that the emotion 
present in the voice recorded by SCP-1248-1 is usually 
inconsequential. 


Addendum: It has been found that altering said recordings may 
alter their effect on subjects. See Testing Log 1248-A for further 
information. 


Excerpts from Testing Log 1248-A 


Sound Recorded: A dog barking. 

Subjects: D-3639. 

Special Conditions: None. 

Result: D-3639 appeared highly confused and ceased to speak. 
Further, D-3639 lost the capability to process complex information. 


Sound Recorded: Dr. Hathaway singing “Eye of the Tiger’. 
Subjects: Drs. Schroeder, Hathaway, and White. 

Special Conditions: Dr. Hathaway had consumed large quantities 
of alcohol prior to testing. Test was unauthorized. None were aware 
of SCP-1248's properties. 

Result: As expected; however, all three subjects showed signs of 
alcohol intoxication and continued to do so after they would normally 
become sober. After one week, the three were dosed with amnestics 
and remanded to a civilian care facility. 


Sound Recorded: Agent Dixon saying his name. 

Subjects: Name unknown, a captured agent of the Chaos 
Insurgency. 

Special Conditions: Agent Dixon has demonstrated remarkable 
loyalty towards the Foundation. 

Result: The subject appeared cooperative and attempted to divulge 
sensitive information regarding a suspected Cl base near New 
Delhi, but experienced severe throat swelling in the process of doing 
so. In addition, large amounts of scar tissue appeared throughout 
the subject's respiratory tract. Subject died shortly thereafter of 
suffocation. 

Note: Use of anomalous items for counterintelligence purposes by 
the Chaos Insurgency confirmed. 


Sound Recorded: D-2180 saying the word "something". 
Subjects: D-2344. 

Special Conditions: The tape recorder used to play SCP-1248-1 
was heavily damaged. 


Result: D-2344 exhibited behavior sometimes consistent with 
D-2180’s personality and sometimes with her own personality, 
switching between the two without warning. D-2344 was apparently 
unaware of these shifts, although she did claim to feel fatigued. 


Sound Recorded: D-2180 saying the word "something". 
Subjects: D-2360. 

Special Conditions: The tape was played backwards. 

Result: D-2360 gained the personality of D-2180 as expected, 
except that D-2360 also became a compulsive liar. No underlying 
neurological cause was found. 


Sound Recorded: D-2180 reading a short paragraph from a 
Foundation training manual. 

Subjects: D-2348. 

Special Conditions: D-2180’s voice was altered using a phase 
vocoder and "Auto-Tune" software. 

Result: While D-2348’s personality resembled that of D-2180 
nominally, D-2348 did not express emotion physically or vocally 
except via direct statements. Further, subject noted the presence of 
misanthropic tendencies not present in D-2180. 


Sound Recorded: None. 

Subjects: D-5552. 

Special Conditions: SCP-1248's microphone was blocked prior to 
recording. 

Result: D-5552 showed signs of fear and expressed discomfort with 
being tangible. When allowed to do as he wished, D-5552 attempted 
to self-immolate. 


Footnotes 

1. Testing indicates that other audio input has the potential to trigger 
these effects. Further testing is required to determine the exact 
parameters of this capacity.

SCP-1249: Pestilence 


Item #: SCP-1249 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As of this writing, SCP-1249 is 
contained in Sector- . Subject is to be contained ina6mx6m 
airtight BSL-4 containment cell with two-stage airlock, observed via 
closed-circuit surveillance camera at all times. The pressure inside 
SCP-1249 cell should be kept at 70 kilopascals. The cell is to be 
fitted with a bed, a bathroom with a contained plumbing system, a 
filtered air vent, and an observation window. Lighting in the 
containment cell should be limited to 30 candelas at all times. 
Subject is to be given 500 grams of raw meat, two kilograms of live 
invertebrates, and one kilogram of plant matter three times a day. 
SCP-1249's containment cell is to be cleaned and disinfected at 
least twice daily by personnel wearing level-A hazmat suits. 


Description: SCP-1249 is a humanoid entity weighing around 76 
kilograms, composed entirely of terrestrial invertebrates from many 
species. While CAT scans indicate the presence of a human skeletal 
structure, the subject's flesh and internal organs have been 
completely replaced by the invertebrate swarm. The swarm 
functions in place of the subject’s muscular system and organs. Any 
individual removed from the swarm shows no anomalous property 
until reunited with SCP-1249. Subject can assimilate normal 
invertebrate organisms into the swarm in the event of injury. 
SCP-1249's humanoid skeletal structure is incapable of 
regenerating from damage. When the subject is exposed to light 
with intensity above 45 candelas, subject will lose its humanoid 
shape and the swarm will disperse over an area approximately 

300 m2 in size. 


SCP-1249 constantly excretes clear viscous fluid at an average of 
30 mL per hour. Microscopic examination has revealed that the fluid 
contains a variety of microbes and pathogens. Identified pathogens 


include Variola major, Mycobacterium leprae, Yersinia pestis, and 
Zaire ebolavirus. SCP-1249 fluid appears to sustain the microbes 
indefinitely and allow infection to occur through brief skin contact. 


Subject possesses no vocal capability but can hear and write 
reasonably well, allowing adequate communication though its lack of 
fine motor skills often renders its writing indecipherable. SCP-1249 
writes principally in Classical Arabic but also displays some 
knowledge of Aramaic. 


Addendum-01: SCP-1249 was discovered near asmalltownin — , 
North America at / /20 after a minor outbreak of illness that 
resembled English sweating sickness, followed by the frequent 
sighting of what witness described as a 'man made out of bugs’ at 
night. Subject was contained five days after initial sighting and 
amnestics were successfully administered to each witness. 


Addendum-02: The following is a translation from the first 
communication attempt to SCP-1249 by Foundation personnel on / 
/20 : 


We are cursed by Him 

He [Unable to translate] vow 
[Unable to translate]...ni Adam 
Only [Unable to translate]

SCP-1250: Alternate Reality Recorders 


Item #: SCP-1250 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1250 is to be kept in a 
large double-lock safe, in a fire-proof enclosure at Site- . 
SCP-1250's storage container is not to be opened by anyone 
without level three (3) clearance or higher. 


Instances of SCP-1250-1 and SCP-1250-2 that have been 
expended are to be properly labeled and filed away in a neighboring 
room, categorized by date, length, and content. Tapes may be 
reviewed freely by all permitted staff. For a full list of available 
recordings, please refer to document [REDACTED]. Researchers 
wishing to use blank SCP-1250-1 or SCP-1250-2 samples for 
experimentation must submit a formal request to Dr. Carter, with the 
details of the experiment(s) in question and the required number of 
samples.
